Hi,

I am also going for SN this year, playing nl10 zoom sh but trying so far unsuccessfully to make the jump to nl25. It's gonna be a tough grind at nl25 so am hoping to spend a decent amount of the year at nl50 also. At the moment I am only 1% done for SN.

Also, pretty much every time you said "mine", it is actually supposed to be "my". The meaning is still understandable but thought I'd say just in case you'd like your english to sound more natural.

gl with the grind.

Hi mate! It would be nice to see your positional stats and the leakfinder overall stats. If you post them here i could take a look at them and point you in the right directions (im playing also zoom at nl50)

I had a nice week. I think actually a lucky week. BKR is at 1012$

I got Video from pleno1 about red line improvement. That stuff is GOLDEN!.

Still didn't decided about when to take shot for NL50 and how to managed that. Any ideas?

I played every day requirements and a bit more. I can see now, that Supernova is not a dream anymore. Its quite real. I just need to work every day and I will be there.

Last couple of day I had flue. It was quite hard playing when you are sick. I still played mine daily requirements. And I even make a profit. I loved that you can sense you mental strength and commitment, when you are in that awful physical state, but you still do your sh*T like a boss.

@IvicaIliev77 - Ty, I am not sure about videos, but all rest I will post...

@Lazza61 Bro, every day is a strugle, dam you be, Pepsi

@Metza When I take a shot, I play 4tables, 2 regulars, and 1 or 2 shot tables, depending on the money I set for shot. for NL25 numbers were 675$-625$, I start shot at 675 and if I drop below 625 I go back...

If I recall first time last year, I success-ed from 3rd shot.

Now, I success-ed with second shot.

Try to not play much variance for first 2 BUI, after that play normal poker, and if you drop back to last 2BUI 725$in NL25 switch back to less variance...

That is how I did it. Hope that helps a bit...

@Veini wow, I would like that a lot, check it up...

How many hands at NL25 do you have to play to get the requirements?

I played 4.6k hands of NL10 and still only got 196/273VPP (yet Stars site tells me I will get SN playing 2.6k hands/day lol)

@Metza bro i have no idea. I set mine goal as minimum 280 a day.Just change steller rewards to bar with VPP a day. I need to fill that bar every day. I take brakes when I feel I need them. No rules, pure grind...

If I am not mistaken I do like around 3k hands a day. I allways have at least 1 zoom table...

Hi mate! You 3bet way too little from all positions! Its important to 3bet alot from late positions and blinds. If you keep on 3betting only for value people will not give action to your monsters and you will leak from the bb/sb by folding too much. At zoom games opening from button and cutoff can be done very wide. You dont show your steal stats but i would say that opening 80% of buttons 2x wouldnt be bad at all. Be careful though by widening your ranges as its much better to play your way versus playing loose and being uncomftable postflop.

Read the platinum articles for preflop ranges here and start slowly widening your ranges especially from late position

Cheers!

Hi all.

ATM mine BKR is 664$ And I am back to nl16reg and zoom NL10.

I tried to use a lot of 3bet bluffs and generally 3bet pots... It kinda backfire on me. I feel like this is quite good lesion for me and I do feel like a learned a lot. Mine BB and SB calling range is terrible and I dont have any concept about how to construct it vs different ranges that I have skills to determent vs BU, and MP opens... That part of mine game is really bad and I have a goal to work on it.

with NL10/16 plays its quite hard to reach daily requirements for a supernova challenge. I am barley make it and I am not counting studying for school that will be an issue in next months or soo. I hope to get mine game on bigger lvl and to be at a minimum brake even on nl25 so I reach supernova.

I had some really terrible calls and I did spew couple of buy ins. On the other side I did had a bit of unlucky in some spots.. AK vs QQ, AA vs KK etc... overall mine mistakes were not giving credit to river bets. Cbet 3bet bluffed pot that I Know-ed about his range is quite strong there, no calling range from BB, SB, BU, MP....

When I look back ~650$ is still a lot in mine mind as accomplished from 0. But I know that I did some terrible plays, and I know that I tilled a lot.

goals.

Get back on NL25. Be at least brake even to minimize time on poker and have time for school and a life.

get throo all gold academy videos again.

Go throo every lesson from scratch on stretegy section.

Play hard, go pro.

That is all, gl guys, have fun and see ya...

Dj.

Hello there fellow Serbian

nice to see you are using most of Your profits for education, that should be inspirational for many other players!

As for adapting to 3beting I know exactly how you feel, couple of months ago, after having a few winning months, I wanted to improve my game and got advices to 3bet more. Started doing it with suggested range of hands, depending on position, but the problem was what to do post flop. As a result I had worst month in poker ever! 3beting is very deep poker science, study it hard, and implement it slowly, and the results will come!

I will definitely follow Your progress, and hope You reach SN and get money for scholarship ♠_cool:

GL @ the tables

How much hours per day do you play?
I wonder how will you meet your daily goals when the second semester begins. It will be rough for you, but you will need to be organized and disciplined.
