Thanks for the comment broodjkaas. You are absolutely right it should be a clear fold, nash says that I can overcall with only KK+.
This is only a good overcalling spot if SB was a dominant CL.

Lately I've been reading a lot about bodybuilding because I want to increase my body weight. I gained 1 kg in 50 days and I'm not really satisfied with that. After much research I found out though that I've taken the completely wrong approach and that is the reason I wasn't able to bulk up faster.
I found out that that I am an ectomorph. My body need much more time to recover after a workout compared to other body types. It also produces fat and muscle tissue at a lower than normal rate. A lot of ectomorphs do the mistake of thinking that more is better, but it isn't actually. Better is better. So they go into the gym and work really hard for six days a week. Their body doesn't get enough time to recover so it can't grow muscle tissue. The logical reason for that should be that they just didn't work out enough so they start working out even more exhausitng their body and worsening the situation.
Well yeah, I did the same thing. I worked out for 6 days every week and of course I took on the pro training program on top of it. My bodys shape did change a lot in these 50 days and it does look mascular with almost no fat but I didn't bulk at all.
The recepie for success is working out 3 days per week lifting heavier weights and doing shorter sets. I also need to focus on doing workouts that include at least a few muscles not just one specific muscles. But the most important thing for an ectomrph is food of course. We need to eat much more calories then other people to bulk up. I eat at least 6 meals per day and I managed to get my body used to 2500 kcal per day for now. But that still isn't enough so tommorow I will try to eat 3000 kcal. After 2 weeks I will try to increase my intake for another 3500 kcal. It's all about getting your body used to it. But the few days when you transition to a higher kcal intake are usually hellisssh.
This week I played on average 32 SNGs/ day. And that's not enough, The main reason for it that is that there still isn't enough traffic on Party + MG in the morning. I need to play more because othervise I will struggle to complete both bonuses. For that reason I bought myself a VGA splitter to be able to play on 2 monitors simuntainusly.
It should be delivered to me on Tuesday. That's when I will start mixing 6€ SNGs with my 11€. If everything goes well I will switch from 6€ to 22€.
This week I've been about break even. I went up a bit on MG and down a bit on Party. I will show you my monthly graphs at the end of this month.
So the month is over and I didn't manage to make a profit this month. This is the first time I didn't manage to achieve that and it sucks a bit. If I add the 30% rackeback from MG and the amount of bonuses I have cleared till now I still finish the month in the green, but still I'm not too satisfied about it. The main reason for all this are the bonuses themselves. The last 2 weeks I spent a lot of time grinding and didn't focus much on my game.
I have to grind a lot if I want to clear both bonuses because at the moment I'm allready a bit behind and I will have to play even more next month to make up. Because of that I started 8-tabling but it was a bad idea because I just can't cope with that many tables at the moment.
My goals for this month were:
:diamond:SHORT TERM
(1 month)
Improve Nash - I did that when I moved to MG
Watch 1 video per day from the Sit n go Grinders 6 max pack - I think I watched 25% of the series then I stoped because most of the videos are without stats so they aren't very useful for todaysy games
Try to play at least 40 SNGs in a day - I avereged 46,6
Mark hands during play and then analize them and post them in the Hand Evaluations forum - I did post some hands but I could have posted more
Go through with my fitnes plan every day - Done
Eat as much as possible and as many times as possible - I managed to to get used to eating 3000 kcal of healthy food almost every day. That still isn't enough for my physique. I only gained 0,5 kg this month
Read Colling Moshmans Heads up no limit Holdem and the Secrets of sit 'n' goes by Phil Shaw - I started reading Moshmans book but I didn't finish because I started focusing on grinding.
For next month I will try to spend more hours playing poker. And I will make sure to study at least 1 hour every day.
Here is the MG monthly graph:

And the Bwin monthly graph:

Bankroll without bonuses: 522,11€
