Nice to see some updates finally 
GL in march, seems like you cant take part in NL Diamond Bootcamp?
Would have been a good opportunity to improve, I already browsed through the bootcamp forums and both players and coaches seem to put in a lot of time and work.
Yeah unfortunately, I would have loved to but I had exams through first half of Feb and I played like 0 hands during that period.
I hope PS will make it more of a long term project as the idea is super good and people would have a reason to go for Diamond status. I'll be myself diamond next month.
Hope you make some nice progress this month.
Yeah pleno said in his coaching he'd try make in a long term thing, maybe every month but he's not sure yet.
Suppose we'll have to wait and see how this one goes. But hopefully it'll be long term.
-woke up 6 am

Hey guys,
Had some productive days last few ones
-woke up at 6 am
-watched at least 1/2 video / day. I'm getting in the hang of using filters in HM
-
On the 6 th I had some bad session in which I made 2 more or less stupid plays because I was distracted on skype. Took some steps to make sure this doesn't happen again, closing skype being on my pregame checklist.
Today I'll be grinding in the afternoon after play some basketball and go to a movie with my gf. Weekend plan is to grind a lot. ♦
Let's make this baby look better 
My thought process on the river: Nobody is check calling a set on the flop, and wait with that 3bet % he isn't having any, as for the flushes... I block AQs/AKs and he most likely does not have AcJc --> oh yeah baby I'm getting this spot

Going strong guys. I keep doing my drills, got some friends interested in studying the mental part of the game involved in a group, grinding a good amount, going for my first 50k hand month (non zoom).
I play mixed 6-9 tables, 6 when I want to focus more on implementing and getting things to the unconscious competence level.
Sleeping 6h per night and going strong. My motivation is high and I will keep going for like... next 100 years ♦.
Did the drills for today, watched a video on isolation theory which made clear some points and I played 1 hands so far and will have at least 1 more session before sleeping.
Brain nugget of the day
Question your daily habits - We are making most of our routine decisions based on random anchoring events that happened when we took the first decision. It's a wonderful idea that can have big implications on one's life.
You'll find it in this book
Chapter 2
Hey guys,
Studying went well every day, I have implemented successfully 2 study habits first thing the morning since the start of the months and all is going great.
My middle session went bad mindset wise so I am treating the mental game seriously from now on.
Today's nugget comes from mr Tendler and the first chapter of his book:
" ‘When you look at a weather forecast and it says it’s going to rain, do you get mad when you go out and it’s raining? So why do you continually get angry when you know variance is going to happen?’ "
Btw I am almost done with the above post book, it's awesome
Hi friend! Nice progress, keep it up and you'll reach your dreams! 
Very interesting to follow your blog too! ![:]](https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/wp-content/uploads/wpforo/emoticons/pokerstrategy-legacy/basics/pleased.gif ":]")
Hi RLC partner, hope you are doing great as well ♦.
I did not update my blog the past few days because I was not able to access pokerstrategy from 17th and since I thought it would take a while to solve this I postponed it, as it turns out it only took a couple of minutes 
Today I spent some time implementing some more daily drills in my schedule.
Now it looks like this:
+ 1/2 a video per day should give me enough to work on after I wake up at 6 am
I am half way through another awesome book
Life is great when you are learning every day!
Hey guys,
Yesterday I only watched a video in the morning and after that I was fully busy with uni/a group meetin and gf. This is prolly going to be my usual Thursday, but it's not that bad since it's the least profitable day for poker ♦.
I already watched a video for today, Constructing 3bet preflop ranges from MBML. got a few clear ideas from it on how to construct specific 3bet ranges vs every opponent which is a very good thing.
Look at your opponent’s positional rase 1st stat, then multiply it by 25-35% (dependent on relative post flop skill)
Adjusting your bluff: value ratio - Formula: % of bluffs = fold to 3bet
Anyways, since I got my new shiny badge now I'll lurk into the Bootcamp forums and will prolly start a blog there if it is a thing to continue. 
Back to my drills now.
