La vita e bella is a mangnificant film , still one of the best, togh with schindlers list. Both movies have something very deeply sad in them, but also are able to highlight that we should embrace the small joys in life.

I saw you play a hand vs that australian dude at nl2K yesterday, you 3b QJo, hit TP, delay cbet oop on xJx :heart:x :heart: and then you jammed on A :heart: river.

I mean wtf, that was beyond me? could you please give some insights ? if possible of course, I'm sure you don't want to say too much about your thought process but a short analysis would be awesome.

keep crushing mate :)

yeah you prob x/r turn now that I think about it, you would've had to overbet river if you delayed cbet turn. turn is more or less standard either way, the river shove is what I really couldn't understand.
in case you still don't remembr the hand he had J :heart:5 :heart:

yea it was somewhat thin I guess but i thought he could call down light. i also held Q :heart: so I thought shove better than c/f.. the A didn't really change very much

the A specifically I mean, but the heart that came with it did a bit but I blocked some of the flushes :P

I couldn't understand wether it was for uber thin value or some kind of level6 bluff. now that you explain it a bit more, I still think it's way too thin, but hey what do I know, I'm stuck at 100nl

best of luck mate :)

theres ~10% chance that in 50k hands I'm gonna lose money and 4% in 100k hands. I think it's pretty awesome to know these, especially when on downswing.

I only coach ppl who play at least nl600 now because it's really boring teaching all the basic stuff, also kind of a waste I think as I'd have to hold myself back from teaching some fancier stuff as they could be misused badly.

today had small battle at 5k, was fun again! I think I lost a bit though .p I haven't made some sick hero call for 5 figure pot yet or anything but I'm sure it'll feel awesome once I do make one heh.

I still think the strongest part of my game is mindset, also what I said in the opening post:

I think my psychological side on poker is really strong, I can handle swings really well imo. I don't remember the last time I tilted or got mad over bad beats or downswings. I'm sure it has some bad sides aswell- I kinda go careless on how much have I won/lost, thankfully I haven't made any silly plays yet though (by the way I'm not rich or anything irl).

good luck at the tables!

I agree that this is the most important thing in poker, esp in HU games. I got problem with that, when I lose 2 BIs with just being unlucky I just quit tables, cause I feel like shit and often nervous.

Hi muumionu!

I'm also playing HU and I must say this is so inspiring!!
I'm wondering what you think is the best way to improve? (exept playing)

GL, looking forward to next update!!

yesterday had small winning day but today won almost 30k again :) it's not really THAT much if you think of my avg limit which is ~nl3k or so I'd guess. month is awesome thus far, 67.6k up :f_p:

I'm also veryy well aware that I could easily get in 100kish or even bigger downswing but not really worried as long as I keep improving which I am and constantly! :)

Thanks for the support everyone!

made a cute hero call against an overbet for 13.7k pot today which was pretty cool :f_cool:

On my way to the top!

1/ It's fun because I think I would have the basics of HU though I think a top reg of NL400 would crush me (so I guess I probably overestimate how good I am), can you explain in a few words what are the "basics" (like, only the topics, not how to solve it etc.). How would you learn these "basics"?

2/ How do you find action? Whenever I played HU, regs were sitting out and I never got action. (was between 50 and 200nl)

3/ What is your opinion on zoom HU ?

4/ What videos helped you the most ?

5/ Do you live in Tallinn?

I'm glad you started to blog again, I was one of you silent readers :)
