Hello everyone. Who I am My name is Felipe Baraky, I'm 20 years old and began playing poker professionaly (full time) last month. I was studying Law in UFJF and gave myself 6 months/1 year to try a poker/sports trading career. I'm from Brazil and started playing by december/2010. Poker career and expectations My poker career hasn't big hits, just made it slowly climbing the limits. Played MTT's for 7 months and won around 6k, which helped me to build my bankroll, but I'm a cash game fan and it's my aim. My expectations with poker are just to go as high as I can. For this year, I want to become a strong NL200 (5bb/100) player. Actually I've been playing only NL100. Played 76k hands there since last month, and had a decent winrate...but recently I passed through a downswing that crushed it. I'm worried about what I may be doing so wrong to justify a so low winrate. Tough spots I've been struggling with 3-bet pots oop against aggressive opponents, mainly those willing to shove very lightly. I feel like I have to widen a lot my 4-bet/call range, to something like ATs+, 88+, to create a balance in my value/bluff range. If I'm willing to 4-bet/call only AQo/TT+ against a 12% 3-bet range, my bluff/value ratio seems to get very unbalanced and they can shove a lot against my 4-bets. Anyways, I'm still struggling a lot with this and calling these spots oop just doesn't seem profitable to me. The Bootcamp It's a golden opportunity and I hope we can discuss a lot more about these deep insights where most diamonds (NL100/200 players) struggle with.

It's awesome isn't it?!

Be specific on things you can do to remind yourself every day. Any ideas on how to do that?

It is. What do you suggest me as a reminder? I don't have any atm...I just kinda mentally remind myself constantly. Btw, I'm feeling way better these days, not really worrying so much about it nor thinking all the time like I was..I know it's like an upswing, I still have some "negative thoughts" sessions, but I'm doing way better lately.

Ask yourselves as often as you can "Am I bringing a quality of presence to this moment?" Play your A-Game in every situation you can in real life. Make a conscious effort of it.
