not much to update here.i just have a lot of swings and have a bit of a problem with playing.last 3-4 days i didn't play so much,maybe is because of the swings or i just don't know but is hard to concentrate.

6 max i played a bit but because of my skype i missed some sweat sessions.it sucks.

i believe things will be better i just have to keep trying.

so i finnished the stake.i eran some nice money from this stake and i had to chose between investing in myself or start playing 6 max.after talking with Goran i decided to strat playing 6$ 6 max on wpt.

10 max will still be my main game but i will learn 6 max more seriosly.another good thing is that i will play on wpt and it will add some rake for gamestons:)

i am very happy about this project because i will make sweat sessions with Goran and those sweat sessions are very helpfull.i don't where i would have been now if i did't made those sessios with him.

any way let's hope 6 max will go well too

6 max is going well ,i am not putting a lot of volume because i just want to learn so i am making a lot of sweat sessions with Goran.

hey!

jus finished going through your entire blog, nice progress!!!

Hows the 6max going for you? Have you played a lot of them yet? Cause i still see you on my 10max tables from time to time, altough less often then earlier. Got any tips for transission from 10max to 6max? cause im gonna do that at some point as well probably. Have you found the best way to mix them cause thats what im most concerned abt tbh. Do you simply play them in the same sessions. Or do you play an entire 6max session in the afternoon and an entire 10max in the evening for example? Or maybe few days in a row just 6max, next few days just 10max? Or maybe you do same but on a weekly/monthly basis etc.?

any poker plans for 2013, especially considering the lack of gemstones and top250 promo on Party network?

keep up the good work!

thanks man

i think i played like 500 or something so far.i was up ~30BI in EV and i think BE in winnings but is small sample.i just went to 6$ 6 max and start learning more postflop and some HU + marking some ICM spots.

i played 6 max in the afternoon when 22$ 10 man are not running so often.you can play all the 22$ running that time(because you will have only like 2 tables) and the rest to be 6 max.

yesterday had a talk with Goran and i will try to learn 6 max hypers.so far this is my goal for 2013.i think i will start with the 3$ 6 max hypers and see how it is.

so far i am going to play at WPT.

gl switching to 6 max :)

long time since the last update.

as you know i started to play 6 max because i heard that in the near future 6 max will be more profitable than 10 max.after thinking a bit and talking with Goran i decided that 6 max hypers will be more profitable so i decided to start learning those.

i will play the 3$ 6 max hypers on WPT but i will not put such a big volume because i have to learn first.watched 2 videos and i saw how loose i have to be and took some notes.i know variance is bigger but the reward is bigger so i will see how far i can go.

btw still playing 22$ 10 max and I am planning to grind my ass of this month.

finished another stake.on profit but it could have been better.

started another one(i think is the last one) and started to play the 33's too.there are the same players as at the 22's so not a big step.

after this block i want to start playing only 6 max.i played about 500 games and i am up in EV like 20BI(in winnings down 20BI) but is small sample.in march i want to start mixing 6$ with 11$ 6max if is possible.

another thing is that in January i played the most since i play poker.played ~120h and started to play only on 7th of the month.it was good because i saw is possible to grind more.

Which tracking software are you using at the moment? Cause my HEM1 isnt able to calc the EV anymore since the structure update in december (neither 10man nor 6max) and it seems that yours still does it. HEM2?

Good luck with the 30s, i agree that they are almost exactly the same as 20s so you should crush them. take care!
