New month started as usual, ups and downs, but I'm much happier with my play and my session reviews. I'd love to put more vol. but $10 are loading so slow, almost like $8 at 888. There is also like 4-5 good regs here and you find your self playing against them almost all the time. I guess i'll just have to grind through this month, just to clear all bonus and get RB.
Next month, i'm thinking about switching to WPT cuz of the traffic, RB and cuz i can be tracked here, which is still important to me cuz of all that learning material available. Plan is to stay at WPT till end of the year, develop my game at higher limits, get some nice RB and absorb all available learning material. My main long term goal is to give it a shoot for supernova at PS next year, except if I become to fond to WPT.

Good luck with the stakings!
Have you played on the PartyPoker network at all before?
I did (Party poker - acc. must be at least 6 years old), but as total fish so don't know how much that counts. 
Didn't look much into it, but i think that biggest adjustment must be in their blind levels?
I bet that i could play a $10+ tourney right now on WPT cuz here at WH is so lonely. 
Time for update. Finally.
I was without a net for a day and had lots of non-poker things to do during those days, leaving me with low volume so far. The fact that i have time to play at traffic dead hours doesn't help much. In order to get max out of available time for playing, I fired 2 micro MTT's along, to get as much action as i can. Finished ITM in one of them for whooping +$6.30
I had about BE sessions in previous days, but made a nice profit today. Surprisingly there were no other good regs at the tables today ♠_evil: and the difference is much more EV+.
Stuff that fishes do on the bubble... $$$ ♠_love:
I hope traffic and table selection is better at WPT.
Oh yeah, first part of block 6 stacking with <3 didn't go so well.
I covered $87 losses and rolled over for block 7. I hope this time he's gonna be on massive upswing.

Just bought a book:
Kill Everyone: Advanced Strategies for No-Limit Hold 'Em Poker, Tournaments, and Sit-n-Gos: Revised and Expanded Edition
which costs me 33.30$. Should be nice read when I'm on vacation next month.
So far i watch quite few vids and I'm up to date with hand evaluation. Volume is pain in the ass, but I'll do my best to complete my goal.
Oh yeah, hit first 20$ bi today (i'd took long time to fill up) and busted out with JJ, running into AA. I think i'll sneak one of these into my sessions now and then, just to get used to them.

Let us know what it's like once you're finished with it.
Where are you going for holidays?

I'll post my humble opinion about the book, can't wait to read it.
We are going to sea in... Duga Uvala i believe is called. It's in Croatia. And the bonus is, that we are going with my mother in law Yeah, kinda short with $$$ so we must take some sacrifices. ♦

She's actually cool, but can't tell that out loud!
Actually I'm already paying the prize. I have to get up tomorrow morning to help her brother-master at finishing touches around construction work (yeah, my hands are not just for holding poker cards 
) on her newly house, that is before I go working night shift at my main job.
No wonder i'm studying the game more than I ever studied in my entire life. ♠_cool: Plus, I still owe my wife a honeymoon trip to Australia. 
So, no poker for me tomorrow and update till now.
Man, i'd make a lot of money if only I wouldn't be sooooo unlucky in HU. Not a single 1st place today, I mean even if you close your eyes and push randomly you gotta win one 
I just can't win with ahead hands.

So for the last couple of days I literary played to make some volume, cuz I was clicking like I was brain dead and didn't feel like playing at all. I spotted myself making wrong decisions, so enough poker for now. Funny thing that I had to include some 6 max games, cuz traffic is so poor at $10+ on WH, just to find out that I have no clue how to approach them. And 70/30 payout troubles me even more. Then out of the blue, skype message popped up, blinking "Gerovit" ... "Gerovit" ... "Gerovit" (trying to be dramatic here, but it isn't working) ♦
So we had a little chat about how we are not gays and stuff like that. When we switched to poker topics, he mentioned that he's taking steps into coaching waters and guess what, he mostly plays 5-6 max games.
Anyway, for the last couple of months I've noticed that sooner or later, I'll have to learn other variances of poker if I wish to move up (you know, me bitching about traffic...) so I ended up being his humble, guinea-pig pupil
We already had first coaching today and if coaching is about learning, then, yeah, I certainly learned a lot! Great discussions and I'm glad that I'm taking my game to new levels. I won't go into details, I just hope the results will speak for them self. For now I'll just say that feelings are great, like I'm about to discover some superb money making strategy! Watch out fishes! Muahaha! ♠_evil:
So my "homework" is to play next 50 6max (along FR of course) and imply stuff that we talked about. Too bad I'll have time for it after 19th of June, cuz I'm work occupied til then.
Another positive side about this is, that i won't feel pressure about volume, cuz they are quick. Bad side is probably bigger variance, but i think 200BI should be enough, cuz i wont play more than 4-6 tables until I perfect this game.

I switch to 6man myself few months ago. Seems harder at begining but its not.
And man what do u think u can learn from that Gerovit-fish guy ♦ he have no clue
Spoiler
just kiddin 
Hey crowes!
What was the "toughest" thing when you switched? What are your results? Where are you playing now?
Somehow I suspect that he had something to do with your switching to, right? So you tell me! 
This is a great blog..read all the way through today. From $100 to over $2k is pretty great in just a few months.
It just shows that with hard work and motivation its easy to move through the limits. Well played!!
Tnx for the kind words dogma18, I’m glad you like it!
I got inspired my self by reading <3 blog and of course other blogs later on. You’re right thou, if you want to make something out of it, it’s not like a walk in the park. I don’t think I devoted that much time to anything else so far.
It’s actually funny, when you start as total noob and you don’t even know the words other guys are using, especially with all those abbreviations like BR, BI, TPTK, FD, ROI… I was like wtf… But then step by step, you’re getting there. And now it’s like I speak another language. Not saying, I’m pro already or something like that, not by a mile, but I have a lot more clue about what’s going on and that feels great. The best thing is that I have a desire for more and can’t wait for it.
Anyway, what’s your story, where is your blog, what limits do you play, format…?

Man that's allot of questions
Im playing on stars now and results are...fine
Well theres no "toughest" thing, theres actually several "toughest" thingsbut its pretty similar to 9 man just have to make some adjustments thats all.
Adjust push/call ranges, adjust bubble play, make better your postflop game because u r going to play allot more pots then in 9man, make ur hu game better because thats where u make most of your money in 6man sngs...as u can see its not that much complicated
And yeah Gerovit is great guy u can learn from him allot ( ajd da te hvalim malo bro
And also Im in Team Moshman taking several months of coachings so all of that "adjusting" things was not that hard.This was very long post for my poor english sorry for mistakes
You should see the sentence I wrote to him yesterday, 
heh, good thing he knew what I meant, so don’t worry about your English.
I thought your gonna say that I have to adjust to everything, so yeah, will do/have to. This testing 6-max strategy is going to be on WH where payout is 70/30 only til end of the month. Real learning and adapting will come next month, when I switch to WPT and after that to PS, where payout is 60/40.
I keep hearing about that Team Moshman thing, haven’t really looked it up. Care for quick review?

Nemoj ga hvalit previše, jer če da sere zlato.
Time for a quickie! (update i mean)
I'm almost done with my monthly goals. What's left is volume and coaching. I think i'll manage volume but no way I can attend more coaching. In my defense, I had another private coaching with Gerovit, which is far more productive I believe.
This time we went over my hand history, which was very helpful. Found quite some leaks and he arose more questions in me about the game in general and in postflop play. I can honestly say that he answered all my questions without hesitation. I'll have to come up with something tougher next time, to put his coaching skills to the limit. What I like the most is that conversations are constructive, not just do that, do this, but instead, why you should do it this way and what are reg tendencies, how to exploit them, etc... The best thing is, that he's always looking for an edge instead of conventional thinking. OK, enough praising for the moment.
My next mission is improving my HU game. Got some recommendation material from him and I'm about to dive in, soon. (Gotta make volume primarily)
All in all, I played some MTT's (didn't cashed in), I also received insta $20 from PS, cuz i raked more than $100 previous week and got $20 more to clear, so 
PS.
6 max are going OKish and just love traffic vs FR. I believe ratio is round 6-7:1 in filling up. I even went playing one for $22 and difference is definitely notable. Finished 2nd thou ♠_biggrin:
I'm already mentally preparing for the trip this weekend and will post some pics...

Wow, nice to receive bonuses just like that!
Will you be adding those to the total of the bonuses cleared then?
Yep, already added $20 insta and I'm about to clear $20 today.
Kinda funny to see that half of my bankroll is from clearing bonuses ♦ but then again, there isn't so much volume overall.
Unbelievable, the trip is postponed due to fever-mouse epidemic. Can't believe that a fkn mouse poop prevented me for going on a long wishing "adventure". Situation is quite serious. My dad, who is a daily hiker (i mean, dude is waking up at 5am just go to the top) has stopped doing it. He said that mouses are everywhere, dead, live, you name it. It's also on the news, where they strongly advise not to hike in that area. They already put a bunch of people into the hospital. I hope city does something about that and that we can then go in September.
Luckily, there was still room available in spa, where my family was headed when I'd be gone, so I can come along. On the other site, this will also be great to make up my wife for all the grinding and studying.
Cleared bonus and earned few bucks... Got my first win at $22 FR. It's nice when you see "you received $100 message"
