Your downswing looks very bad and I remember at Omaha you were pretty good, despite I was a fish that learnt copying the plays of winning regs so I couldn´t understand plenty the game at the beggining, I liked your aggro game
Did you check this thread? https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...24/index2.html
Maybe that´s the problem, I think Holdem sngs maybe are hard because there are many stables with staking and coaching,software to learn, but in O8 hi lo there is no way
And I´m glad that you decide to move to Costa Rica to live in the paradise with your girlfriend, that´s the most EV+ decision!!
Hey man
What was your SN on pokerstars? Probably I will not remember. Tbh I was even surprised that I played that many o8 hypers. I really felt that most of my games were those 18 man o8 SnGs back in the day, but sharkscope proved me wrong.
I am currently 50 buyins down with regards to the o8 16.5 SnGs, whereas i am up 150 Buyins in the 6.6 buyin level. This does not concern me at all. I think that the regulars are worse than the top regs I remember from Pokerstars and there are a lot of recreactionals. However I have to admit that I really have to focus when playing near to the bubble.
What i really have to admit is that the holdem games changed.
Regarding the holdem games, my current state of mind is that i played way to many tables in the begining and underestimated the numbers of regulars, especially with regards to the 16.5 buyin level.
I need to study way more regarding the holdem games. At the same time I also think the demand SnGs are a great format to improve my Mtt game.
I would love to only play o8 "for a living" however this does not seem possible even when taking all sites on the market. O8 Cashgame would be way more profitable, however I do not see this as an option for me currently.
Near Future
I will have to continue to work in my current Job until mid of September. The workload for me is currently really low. Therefore I theoretically would have enough time to improve my holdem game. However there are days like today, where I cant. I was tired the whole day and could not focus at all. It was not a motivational issue, but more my lifestyle that pulled me down.
High level speaking I want to improve my holdem game.
Due to the fact that no tournament summarys are saved by ACR it is quite a challenge. For me hand analysis with HRC and general ICM analysis are the most plus EV move i could do currently. But with incocmplete HH and no tournament summaries it is quite impossible. The only other option for me right now would be to play on Chico as well, however i really do not like the software. And I had issues with multitabling different poker sites in the past.
In the next day i will come with some concrete goals that should help me in the long run.
Midterm Future
As soon as I have fullfilled my duties with my current employer I plan to go to Costa Rica for a few month (if I even can due to COVID19). I am not sure yet in what direction 2021 will go, there are a lot of options still open. I know what my "dream" situation would look like, but i do not if it is achievable for me. So far I have not done enough to contribute to that dream to make it feasible.
