Great blog!
What format do you like the best? Turbo, normal or slow?
Do you agree with some peoples' opinion that normal speed low stakes MTT's are a waste of time?
how many tables do you play - and how many sites?
whats your setup like? how many monitors etc?
what software do u use? run a HUD, table ninja?

In the HH, am I reading it right in that Villain was planning to do something like that on the river all along? Otherwise what was his plan ? Sorry if this sounds weird.

I don't play that many deepstack tournaments, because the hourly rate isn't often
worth it and it's hard to multitable (you tend to nit and wake up with less than 20bbs, when average is 60bbs).
I like both normal speed & turbo, but I don't play that many MTTs with 10k starting stack and normal speed. You should really focus how much avg profit & avg legth of the tournament is, some normal speed tournaments are often optimal to latereg after 30 - 60min instead of registering from the start.
Turbos can be really good because of the higher hourly rate, but I don't think there's that many people who are able to crush them. If you want to play more turbos I would recommend you to play some 180mans at the end of your sets and study bit, because there's a lot edge to gain if you are just an average BE reg in 180mans.

I use to had something like 24 tables running, but then I come to realize that
I probably make more money if I just skip or latereg some of the tournaments.
Now it's more like 12 - 18 tables.
I have money in 6 sites atm, but I play regularly in 4 of them.
I have computer which is a little too old and slow + 2 x 21 inch LED-screens.
I use HEM1 + tableninja party. I use f1, f2, f3 for fold/call/raise because you can use those in ongame & ipoker as well and set them as hotkeys in pokerstars/pokerstars.fr. If you play long sessions often your arms get tired from 10 000 mouse clicks you make during the session, thats why it's imo necessary to develop something like this to maintain this kind of volume.

Obviously something like that. I just think it's pretty dum to make plays without outs and with 100% of your range depending on the gameflow read. Even tho sometimes I do it by myself I don't think that it's wise thing to do when playing against regs (regs have a tendency of making notes and you want to be somewhat in balance).
Defending with 74o by calling... Is he reg btw? 
If he really want to play crap like that then 3bet-folding would be way way better.

Yes, one of the best actually. (Avg stake 25$ avg profit 5$)
He just goes little bit over the line sometimes.

It's been hard couple of days, lot of deepruns but not that much success. 2 wins in total which both were from yesterday.
I have had some troubles adjusting to french sites. I haven't really play there much and I wasn't sure how I should change my game from which I normally do play.
---------------------------------------------------------
I have come to these conclusions:
* Overall gameplan should be tighter.
WHY?
-> Most of the regs never 3bet bluff and they are always too loose and passive or too tight and passive + donkbet lot of flops. Which really means that old school type of nitting is really the best exploit.
-> They call lot of minraises. You often see a reg calling minraise OOP with T6s or some really shitty hand, it doesn't matter as long as it's suited. I wouldn't still start to do bigger open raises, 2,5bbs might be good sometimes but I wouldn't start raising 3 - 4bb with 20bb stack like some regs do.
-> In french sites most of the regs are re-stealing and calling 3bet shoves very tight. Often it might be as tight as 88+ AQ+ in late positions. Stars.fr seems to be different, (not sure about winamax) in stars.fr regs seem to be shoving and calling too light at least in higher buy-in games which is kind of interesting. Anyways I would be more careful with calling 3bet shoves when playing in french sites.
* Stop & go works!
-> Stop & go works very well because everyone expect you to call a ton and fold lot to cbet.
* Shove wider and call shoves less wide.
-> Regs are shoving less than they should. They tend to limp or minraise SB a lot (which is also a good approach if BB is weak player) instead of shove, they don't shove as wide as they should and they don't call that wide either. SBs are often profitable to shove any two and BUs you can also shove very wide.
-> Shoving most of your chips without shoving AI works somewhat better than just shoving. You should try this if you have less than 6bbs, 6bb or more it really doesn't matter that much.
* Play tight instead of loose in FTs
Even tho it's much more profitable to take a loose approach in FTs at most of the other sites I play, I think in french sites you should often play tight instead. Other site FTs are often full of regs with solid preflop game, that means you can get away with lot of loose raises or just take pots down with cbet when they call and want to see a flop. French regs should be compared to fishes when talking about FTs, they don't get ICM and they're playing way too many hands and leaking a lot at postflop. Thats why often when you just play tight you notice there's only you and 3 others left, that's when it's time to take a looser approach.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure if there's more to add. If you have something to ask or comment about the subject, please do.
you are a really smart guy !
greetings from Germany
Edit: Oh I forgot to ask you which books you recommend for self development?
If you wonder, I'm playing MTTs too but it was a hard time for me figuring out that stars.eu isnt that profitable for me.

I can recommend:
- The war of Art by Steven Pressfield.
- How to think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill.
- Brian Tracy Audiobooks (youtube)
- 100 ways to motivate yourself by Steve Chandler
I've heard these are also good:
- Richest man in babylon by George clayson.
- How to read a book by Morte riddle
- Lessons of the history & Story philosophy by Durant
I would recommend you start with one book and go slow, reading books is actually very hard if you haven't done it regularly. You can also start with youtube videos and audiobooks like I did. Make notes about everything you read and go those notes through from time to time.

7 days to go and after that will take a 2 week break. I probably won't reach 4k MTTs, which is kind of depressing. I didn't realize how many days Christmas and New Year Christmas and New Year takes away from grinding. 
Anyways I can't be unhappy even tho I always could have done more, be better, run better and so on. Keep grinding guys, as you can see hard work pays off.

good work

A short question again: what analysing tool you recommend? ICMIZER, SnGWiz, HRC or other? Which program you are using for your post-session analysises?

I used HRC when played 180mans, but haven't used it that much lately. It's been hard to make post-session analyses because my HEM seems to miss about 50% of the hands I play. I will buy new computer next year and get that fixed.
Blog is going for a break untill next year. I will probably update results once, but that's about it.
