Who knows, but as long as they remeber, it doesnt matter how! :f_love: :]

mbml: Hey, no, I know what it means:) I spent some time in China in my teens and learned quiet a bit chinese, enjoyed the whole experience and wanted it to never forget it all. So I got a tattoo.. which is the same as the signiture;)

Unlike the other tattoo I got in Thailand and some other unorthodox things I did in my past I do not regret this! :f_cool:

Heyya!

Just a short summary of past days/weeks/month.
October was really shitty pokerwise despite the nice run I had for a while. It was shit before that and couple of days afterwards It was bit shitty again. Volume was PUKE, 44k hands is supergay. Ended in green, but very unsatisfied with my performance :rolleyes:

BIG FAT LINE

PLANS for NOVEMBER

:diamond: 100k hands
:diamond: 5bb+/hh EV
:diamond: 20hrs equilabing, analyzing, thinking about lines, talking to pople, watching vids

:diamond: start marking hands that I should take note of and note it after session
:diamond: quick review after each session

:heart: read 1 book (The 4-hour Workweek)
:heart: gym 4times/week
:heart: enjoy life

Today was my first playday in November, upped the agression a bit, hope to keep it up and hope noone will notice

VOLUME BRAG

Dont worry, I wont be bothering you with daily posts. It is just that today is the beginning of the new era in my aproach to life.

In the morning, I typed down all the things I want to do today
Managed to make it all and even exceeded the amount of hands.

At the moment I feel really good about the general gameplan I have, just gotta keep patiently waiting to start running bit better

I dont play spewy, I am pretty tight when there is too much action going on - 24% WTSD, so I expect big things when I manage to win an allin every now n then :f_cool:

Ah, that era. Happens to me too few times a year and lasts few days. :f_biggrin: Imo update daily so you'd feel a bit ashamed if you start slacking.

And wtf, people do actually fold at NL25 these days? :f_biggrin:

Yea, fucking nits everywhere

I have a question.
I have just reached stellar and have ennough points for the 200bonus.
Last month I played a little and dropped to goldstar.
I have no chance of reaching SN.

Should keep playing zoom or should i check out Rush or Speedpoker?
Anyone knows the rakeback % comparison?
I could use google, but I like to feel grateful to poeple that help me :f_p:

I think below 100 PS zoom wins against FTP rush. Rake is bigger on FTP and will be much bigger @ NL25, not gonna be worth it. +You won't be able to move up to 50NL rush as it almost never runs or has very few players usually, everyone is mostly playing 25, 100 and then 400 rush.

Saw a comparison between ftp BC and supernova and it's roughly same rb @ 100. Same article said PS > FTP below 100 fwiw.

And iPoiker obv sucks. So I think staying with PS is best.

Great efforts, man! Very neat way of updating your blog and I really like your goals.

I find my days very busy lately but when I look back it often turns out that I haven't been as productive as I wanted it to be.

Planning to start challenging myself more following your example. I believe that everyone should! =)

Best,
S _love:

Really depends on your plan, but I think I'll vote for rush 90% of the time here. They give you your money back every week and that really helps for anything nl50 and below and if you can't make supernova. And if you decide to play more next year and move up limits, PokerStars is the better choice because they charge less overall rake, and have better traffic. And on top of that tableninja and other softwares always develop for poker stars first. And guess where the best people who work in the company that owns both stars and full tilt will work in? PokerStars or full tilt? Better support at stars too. Better offers, longer pre flop time bank.

But if you want things fast, on 4 tables or less of rush, then full tilt is better, but only up to nl25. Nl50 is dry and nl100 traffic is shit.

Thanks guys!

really appreciate the info and opinions, you are teh best!

SariyskiS: Thanks for visiting! Yea, it is better to have goals. Without them I just slack and think im doing enough, which im really not

Things going good sofar, today I upped the stakes a bit and push myself on the edge. Really not giving myself much time to slack around today, hope i ll do fine and will feel happy. Once I start feeling tired or unsatisfied from the daily routines, i ll just step back a bit. Its important to be happeyyy

Ok, another topic.
Run it twice? Seems like a good idea at first glance, but doesnt it make it boring ?
From $$ point of view, it should be clear go for it, ye? But how am I ever gonna catch up with the EV, if i dont give myself a chance to do proper suckouts ?

My take on running it twice:

You play for the long run anyway and are a pro, running it twice is for pussies and tilters who play short term poker. I never run it twice! :f_biggrin:

In the long run it really makes it irrelevant. You can either run it twice or not, no difference.

the worst Jx i'd cb is J8, w worse i go for some bluffcatching.

Anyways, w JT i prob wouldnt go for such fireworks, so im repping rly strong stuff, but theres lots of it, so i guess i gotta have tons of bluffs too, K4s is one of the best non-nuts hands I get to river w this line, so it feels like a manadatory follow thru.

Seems bit silly, but the logic is flawless, ye? :f_cool:
