Hehe, nh

why wouldnt you fire river?

Doubt he is folding 6x which he has a lot imo.

I dont like it. If you raised that small, river bet is a must on that card.

Your commitment to improving not just your technical poker game but mental game as well is admirable. It seems you are getting into some pretty decent games also so I think you will be moving up the stakes quickly. best of luck

Agreed, what are you doing on above hand?

@ czechvengeance and tehgrizzly
IveGotUrOuts is right. I thought the same way he did. I didn’t thought I have some fold equity against 6x I even didn’t think he will fold Ax. I was min raising to check him. I was curious what he do. I want to build dynamics and try him. I don’t mind of losing 1/5 or 1/4 BI to find out how my opponent play. It gets easier to win with him if I test him at the beginning. I want to learn how he thinks and how he plays. There is no other way than donking here and there, min raising here and there, x/r here and there. I think you get my point now. When he called me I thought I was behind…

@ SetzerG
Thanks I am here to big money. I want win a lot from poker. My mindset is great in some things and it’s bad in other things. I am working on my mindset leaks like tilting etc. There is no way around. I want to crush 1k I want to move up in stakes fast so I need to work my ass off. I also don’t touch my money yet. I still living from saving and I didn’t make my life expense bigger because I want to move up as fast as possible.

@ Scorpp
Explained above


In second session I get owned. I lost 500$ in 50 min, it was first 50 min of session and I lost hand after hand after hand. I was staying calm but I thought. I lost soooo much I can leave. Then I realize that I was playing pretty fine, ok I am guilty of few swears and of few oper raises for 6x to guy who won from me 5 BIs. Then I remind myself two phrases: „champions define themselves at bad days” and „champions stand up one more time”. So I thought I am some sort of fish – champion so I need to still playing and I did.



After a while it was something great. Run turned and I have good run my favorite type of regs joined in. There were two guys who had 25% 3b and 30% x/r Flop. I ate both of them. One after losing 1.5 BI evacuate. Second wasn’t that smart I took his 4 or 5 BIs before he left. Agrrr… half fish half champion revenge…

Had very bad run. Few regs saved my ass. When you don’t hit anything you can win at least with regs with board texture and playing their cards. Recreational players own you when you can’t hit anything.

Graph for today:

I went to talk with chick. Weekends are definitely best to do it in night. In normal day they usually run away. Today her long legs and nice boobs were smiling as much as her face. I couldn’t resist I came to her to talk a bit. I just want to heard her and talk with her. She was smiling, we were talking for a while. I went away and then I realize I should ask her “do you want to drink a tea, I have great one, you need to try it!” unfortunately when I came back she wasn’t there any longer. Probably she went by bus. Those reason are always kind of funny for me. Once chick asked me can she charge her phone at my place. You both know what is going to happen but you need small stupid reason…

so ****ing balla stories

@ czechvengeance
Actually I think I’ll add some baller lifestyle to my life. Will write below why.


Today I spend almost all day away from home. I was depreseed lately/ I am still depressed. I needed / need to force myself to work even if I like it. It’s time to some hedonism and for some baller lifestyle. I can’t take the risk of damage my poke work ethic what means I f.ck other long term goals other than poker and I want to have some fun from life.


Today I meet one chick. She was gorgeous. She was hostess and she was very hot. I haven’t seen such a hot chick for a long time. She was very sexy. She has sexy high hells, nice feets, long legs, great ass, big boobs and her face was great. All her body seems perfect. Srsly I have’t seen such a chik for a while. She asked me about credit cards we were talking for a while, even after I told her I can’t make this card. I go away. Then I have though: “don’t be such a p.ssy, go talk to her, you failed once today with other hot chick don’t do the same stupid **** once again”

I turned around. I saw she was talking with some fat guy. I didn’t gave a fu.ck I just went to her and told her: “hey I have awesome idea” “oh it’s you again ” “I want to go out with you after work”. She was talking that she admired my courage to talk with her, she feel so great and she really really really would love to go out with me but unfortunately she has a BF. Usually it’s a BS because a lot of chicks are in bad Relationships because they don’t want to be alone. Anyway I was so stressed because for the first time in my life I was so direct that I said okay. I was hearing her complements for a while and walk away. I was shaking for 20 min or so after that, that I realized what I did and I felt endorphin in my body.

Today I was talking with a friend for a phone. We were talking for 20 min or so, she asked me about my plans. I told her and then she told me: “marry me”, after a while she add “take me with you I want to live with you “ she really made my day. Btw this week I’ve heard from 2 chicks that they want to live with me I decided that I’ll still dating one chick I am dating but I’ll also date other girls. If this chick will have more time and our relationship will be great then I’ll think about it. Now I’ll date with more chicks.

great thread keep the chick updates coming....

post some pics too not just graphs!

@kerwinty

I'll write about chicks when something interesting will happen. It's my priory no.3 so I bet something interesting will happen. Tomorrow I'll post two photos. (Not with chicks )



Today only that:



Made too much commitment and I needed to end them today. I am too tierd to write something longer.

@kerwinty
Changed my mind. No photos. Just graphs for today.

Today graph:




I am happy with my today game. I am also happy with my mental game. I think I was playing pretty good. Tomorrow I'll make very detalists session review to find out.

why dont you ever post your EV line?

its good to hear that you didnt tilt

+1 on the girl photos

@czechvengeance
Acutally it seemes I did. Just in different way. I thought they try to bluff me out or I was playing more safe etc. I even didn't swear and was playing numb but still it has impact. I needed just to look deeper with HM.

With EV line. I don't use it. When I am above EV I feel bad because I am afraid I'll lose cash that I won by "luck". When I am below I am tilted because it's unfair. It's never fine. When I have downswing but my EV is on 0 I don't work on my game that hard because it was just badluck. Now cooler doesn't tilt me that much becasue I don't know how my EV line looks like and I am soooo happy when I do cooler to someone because I don't care about my EV line anymore.




Baller lifestyle ended as fast as it started:


When I run and play like God I can date with Sex Goddess. When I run and play like fu.ktard I can date with Holdem Manager, FlopZilla and Gordon’s movies. I do need hedonism and have some fun but I know my priorities. First I need to work then I can have some fun. Now I need to work my ass off because that’s why I have downswings, to improve. Good thing is that I am numb and I do not tilt (I mean I even don’t swear) still it has impact because I play safer and I have phobia everyone try to bluff me out. That’s fine I paid price twice. Now for next week or two I can focus mostly on searching my leaks.

I don’t give a **** what works, what I am doing right. I just search what I am doing wrong and what I can improve. When times are soft I can be soft, when times aren’t soft, guess what…. Btw I found something great to deal with tilt. I changed gym to Mai Thai and Box. I am so happy that in newbie group are a lot of ppl who are pretty advance. My level is a lot below average, everyone beats me, I am a pussssssssssssy there. That’s great because I’ll improve faster. Of course it means more sweat and more pain but that’s why I am there. It helps me relief my emotions great. Outcome is that I feel pain in different parts of my body but I feel much more alive because of that.

Sounds like you read or watched Fight Club too many times.

Saw it once. I like it. Few quotes are great Still I am not sure I would join that club because of 3rd rule


Crushed next keyboard. Pressed sit out, it didn't work and I lost stack FD vs FD. Still I think I played it badly:

3rd RULE: If someone says "stop" or goes limp, taps out the fight is over.

Well played

@tehgrizzly

I meant 8th rule If it's your first time you need to do HU. On the other hand, it could be pretty fun.... (yeah I know I sound like a psycho xD ) Of course limp sound pretty cool here
