you: "making money at poker really isn't hard"
me: "it's not easy to make money at poker"

Well Making money isn't hard. Go on 888, play on NL2 and you'll make money 
He doesn't really say how much money he wants to make. I'm happy with every $ I make every evening, but I don't think he'll be pleased with that.
But I also said making a lot of money Is hard!
yeah probably. i think people make poker a lot harder for themselves i know i did/do 
Wasssuuupppp!!!
I haven't posted in a couple of days, but there wasn't anything going on. Played some NL6 BE. But today I went back to NL10!!
It was freaking horrible once more!
For the first time I didn't tilt though, which is always a good thing! But my graph is all over the place

Hey guys!
Today another session on NL10! It went really bad first, then better, then bad again and then it went pretty well. I actually made a profit today!
Going to post some hands up for evaluation and then I'm going to bed.
Oh btw I'm doing not to bad in my daily Sng's ♦ Yesterday I won my first one. Today I got busted really early in the SnG so I opened a 2nd one which I finished 2nd

Hey RasTweet,
Nice blog :). I noticed your name at the NL6 tables the other on 888 and thought I recognised it. I quickly put something in the chat but I imagine you were pretty busy as was I 6 tabling!
Anyway, knowing you're a fellow PokerStrategist I generally leave your tables if I find you sat down at one (bigger fish to fry and all). It's quite interesting though, cus my BR is at like $280 and i'm pretty much considering moving up so we'll probably track each others progression and see each others name more often!
So good luck at the tables. Btw my screen name is "Dude_I_Just"!
Laters,
Jack
Hey Quadzzzzzzzz
I don't have a lot of time reply but just this.
I do remember you saying something to me on the tables!!
And you shouldn't run from me =D I'm a fish
I'm sure I'll see you on the tables again one day!!

Bonjour everyone!
It's been a "long time" since I updated my blog so here we go again!
Before today
Well on friday I went to my girlfriend. I arrived at her house a couple of hours before she did and because I met her 2 years ago I bought her roses. She loved it! GO ME! ♠_cool: Did some stuff she likes to do over the weekend... But I do want to share 2 picture with you guys. My girlfriend has this little cactus in her room and she has that little thing as long as she can remember. And every year when the sun starts to shine pink flowers start to grow on top of that little cactus. I think it's such a beautiful cactus/flower/.... Just want to share this with you guys.
On monday we both drove back to my place because on tuesday there was a running competition (if thats the correct way to say it). And of course I had to run as well! I used to be a (very) good runner (by far the best of my province). But I stopped running 6 years ago or so, I kept training from time to time but no races and competitions etc... Until about 3 years ago. I just can't encourage myself to start running again 
But this race here in town is the only one I do run. I think it's a lot of fun! Last year I couldn't because my knees were messed up because of snowboarding, but this year I was ready! I didn't run 1m in the last 2 years, so this promised to be interesting! I finished well tbh. I was 38th out of 400ish and I ran 21min27sec for 5,5km which I'm happy with! Here some pics from me in action.
Have a guess who I am
[x] fail
Today
I decided I should start doing some kind of sport. It will do me good both body and mind! So I went to the gym for the first time in 8 years or so 
Was a lot of fun but WaW I wonder if I can get out of bed tomorrow!
Poker before today
Well I haven't really played that much. Had some NL10 session but I can't really make a profit in NL10
Here is my April graph
Todays poker
Todays poker wasn't to bad. At first I was loosing a little bit as usual and then everything went really fast! I won a 1,5 BI spread over 2 tables at almost the same time. Which was nice because now I was in profit. But it went down almost as fast as I won the money I'm not going to look at the hands right now but I might post some hands here and definitely going to post some for evaluation.

Guys does it look like my EV line is failing at 366 hands? I loose a lot of money but EV line stays steady. First time I see this tbh. And since there is a thread about failing EV lines I looked closer to mine for the first time.
Music for today I don't smoke but this is for all the smokers out there! WARNING if you are going to listen this song first turn down the volume a bit for the beginning of the song. You might become deaf, it's not that loud but just a very high pitched guitar.
Thats it for today!!
Good luck at the tables guys!!

Hey guys!
I'm a bit pissed right now, so I'm going to keep this brief
Having the worst time in my life (pokerwise!) On the graph you can see all my hands I've ever played on 888. The end are the last 2 weeks. I lost $100 and my BR was only $350 I think (MAX!!) So yeah I'm done with it for now.
Going to take a break for a week or so and then start again.
Music for today
Wassup guys!!
Untill today
When I posted last time I told you I was on a swing and was going to take a break. Thats exactly what I did. Took of for a week and just studies while I usually would play.
Really changed my game plan and my mindset A LOT! Really happy that I took this break and I'm ready to attack the tables again! I played some poker yesterday, nothing much happened really, played BE.
Today
Like yesterday I played NL6. I could play on NL10, but just want to grow my BR a Little bit more and then I'm back on NL10.
I played 2 sessions today. The first one started of really bad but I managed to get back on top of it to end my session BE again. Then I had a break for an hour or so and started with my second session. This one was a bit swingy, but really liked the way I played! Made some stupid moves as you can see in my graph but hey everyone got his/her leaks.
You can see in my graph how my game has changed and my non-showdown winnings are way way way higher then usual. Well I think this is the first time I end in profit with my non-showdown winnings.
So yeah really happy! Can't wait till my next session.

After today
Tomorrow I'm going with my GF to the sea, which is basically being on a holiday. I'm coming back on sunday or maybe monday, not sure yet and depends what I feel like
So yeah talk to you guys in a couple of days
Music for today This one is for all those ppl who drink to much alcohol.
Best of luck on the tables!

Hey guys!!
Untill today
Like I said in my previous post I went to the sea with my gf and her parents. I really really had a nice time! The weather wasn't that great but we did have 1 day of sun. I fell a sleep in the sun and now my knees are burned hurts when I walk around in long pants. Well guess I'll be running around naked the next days
I'll be at my place until friday and on friday we're going back to the sea until sunday ♠_love: I'll post some pics when I'm back after next weekend. And no I won't post naked pics of me (I know you all want me to)
Today's poker
Today was brilliant! I was running hot and really liked the way I played. Didn't play really long since I got home late and I was tired.
I played some nl6 although my BR was big enough for nl10, but I just felt like nl6 tbh. Tomorrow I'm going to play nl10 again and I hope I run as hot as today! I had a huge whale on one of my tables and I managed to stack him for 200bb ♠_cool: Made some mistakes as well of course, but thats for tomorrow!

Hey guys!!
Before today
Well I didn't post yesterday and that with a very good reason! I played well the whole of yesterday but THEN....!! I opened a camtable on 888 and we decided with some mods (I won't tell names) to have some fun *Note to myself: never have fun on cam tables with mods anymore*
ANYWAY we had a lot of fun while we were playing someone had a lot of luck and I lost almost 2,5 stacks vs him... And yes it was a mod. I tilted really really really badly but I didn't loose any more.
Today
Today on the other hand was a brilliant day! I played on a nl6 camtable again since they are really really soft! And I played on 2 nl10 tables. I had a really good run and I really liked the way I played. As you can see on the graph my non-showdown winnings isn't as low as usual yeah pretty happy with that!
AND I was able to make a profit on nl10 today as well! I made $13 on nl10 and the rest on the camtable obviously.
BR: $282,82

Hey Rastweet
Great threads, really enjoying the music videos you post. Will follow in future, good luck at the tables.

Hey guys
Just a quick update. I played some nl6 again yesterday. Wasn't to bad, managed to make a little profit.
Graph in bb
Spoiler
But here is the real reason why I'm posting now. Yesterday I was messing around with my HEM2 and I stumbled upon my stats. I usually don't look at my stats that often, but I noticed something yesterday.
Looks like I have to change my game to play on nl10! I thought that playing on nl10 like I did on nl6 would make a somewhat BE player, but it doesn't apparently

Hello readers!
Today I picked up my brother from the airport. He came back from America. He had spend his last few days in LA *Me jealous*, but he didn't play any poker
Pokerwise
Wel yesterday I didn't know what to do. I had the BR to play on nl10 ($257) but I wanted a bigger BR before taking another shot. After thinking for a long time I opened nl10 anyway But I did something different this time. I opened up more tables then I've been playing before on nl10. I just opened my usual 4 tables in stead of 2-3. And guess what? I made a profit...
Today I played on nl10 as well, again 4 tabling it. and again I make a profit. It isn't much but it's better then losing. Today's session went well until I ran my AJ TKTP into AA
I'm not having a massive win rate, but I'm happy I can play BE for 2 days (I know volume) on nl10. The win rate will come with time I guess.

Hey guys!
Nothing special happened lately, just played a bit today.
888poker gave me another bonus box which gives me an extra free $5 in my BR. Nice instant rake back imo!
Today wasn't that much fun actually, I tilted very early in my session Had a very lucky hand which made me run a stack above EV.

in a post before you said that you should change your game for NL10... but there isn't anything very concerning imo
maybe you have to change postflop? or it could still be just runbad...
@ Rich
Thanks man!
@ Tomaloc
Very nice suckout! Much nicer then mine!
Well I did change my game a bit yeah. I'm more passive post flop, but that might change with time.
Thanks for reading guys!

Hey guys!
Today I had to go to school for my final paper. Well I had to go over it with a teacher and he liked it so I'm pretty stoked about that!
I'm not so stoked about my session today I really am a fish on nl10 Although the board wasn't that nice for me either. So yeah another day losing on nl10. I really start to hate nl10 Looks like it's time for me to read some psychology stuff!!
