seems like you are doing well! i haven't been around much, so how long have you been at nl200 for? ever considered being a coach for some variance free $? some very sexy graphs here

I took a shot since the beginning of this month and I'm playing nl200 fully since then.
well I'm probably not good enough to coach at the moment I think, my giraffes look nice yeah I could get some people who has no clue to pay to coach them probably, but I don't want to be another weak reg who turned a coach just because he isn't good enough. besides, I genuinly enjoy variance ♦

best of luck to you mate

ah that is fair enough. i will be reading your blog, hope you keep crushing nl200! gl sir

starting at 2nl -> fast forward ->> 20 pages after ->> oh your a reg at nl200

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL I wish i could do that omfg (im an FL player so stakes would be different i would hope so lol)

Hi booomm,

Well what can I say? I was going to pop into your blog to say hello and pass on some encouragement, but it doesn't appear you need any does it! ♠_evil:

Have you ambitions to go as high as you can? I read earlier you couldn't afford to go broke and replace, does that still have a bearing on your attitude to moving up? Maybe you use a nittier bankroll management?

Regards and erm, good luck! ♠_cool:

well any encouragement is most welcome
well to answer your question, yes, I'm planning to keep moving up as high as I can as long as there is money to be made playing poker, maybe 2 years from now games will be unbeatable because of bots or whatever, maybe legislation will fuck us all, who knows ? poker looks like a sinking ship right now, so yes I hope I will be able to play much higher in the near future
I still can't afford to go broke obv, 1 because I can't deposit and 2 poker is my only source of income at the moment, thanks god I live in a cheap 3rd world country, nl200 is more than enough to live comfortably and have some savings etc
and my bankroll management is more or less standard, nothing too nitty, 35BI to move up and 25BI to drop down.

thanks for your encouragements

finally hard work is paying off I am sure you will crush mid-stakes sooner than you think ♠_cool: ♠_cool:

I want to ask you do read Poker books ? what are the Poker books that you read during your pokercareer ?
I think that will inspire me for my study habits

well I haven't been reading much lately to be honest, mostly videos etc, I bought mbml's advanced book few months ago though, I found it very helpful you should probably check it out. I read verneers book about microstakes 2 years ago and it was very helpfull, aside from the that the usual donk stuff, super system, ace on the river etc..

month's graph so far, little bit of break even stretch at the moment, wich I don't mind at all since I've been running hot for the whole month, probably will take a break for few days as I've been grinding for 10hours everyday non stop for this month, wich isn't very good for my body, mindset etc
and by break I mean playing no more than 2 hours a day at least obv

of course I got bored and decided to play a 5 hour session today instead of taking the scheduled break
ran pretty bad overall, spewed some too. graph for today's session:

of course the month ended in disaster, one of the worst runs of my whole life. back to nl50 to rebuild obv.

Wow, good luck rebuilding!

Thats sick booommaaaaaaaaaaaa, Supertilt + worst run ever?

I'm DaanVonk btw

ohh sick one ! how is your mentality man ?

GL in rebuilding !

thx everyone, well no real monkey tilt or anything, I don't really tilt anymore. just some horrible bad run that makes me play even worse etc .. will be back grinding in few days, thx everyone :))

Ugh Ugly downswong.

Tho,

"I don't really tilt" and "Makes me play even worse", tells me you do tilt. maybe this tilt is worse for your profits than crazy monkey tilt where u would like to smash things.
Why? Because with the crazy monkey tilt you would easily spot the tilt and probably quit your session.
With the soft-tilt you might be losing money in quite some spots, but not noticing and slowly dropping money to people and continue playing, making it probably bigger and bigger.

Just my 2cents, been there aswell.

I think that you are 100% right, what I meant is that I can't really play my A game, more like a robotic C-game with little thinking about ranges, dynamics etc ... but you are most definatly right, I probably should implement something like a stop loss, will try that for sure this month

gl rebuilding, it's all part of the game. Stay positive

so haven't played much this month because I've been busy partying and drinking like a complete degen, but so far so good, here's a graph of july+august, haven't been running SUPER hot or anything, still under ev, but nl200/100 is kinda softer thses days for some reason

and voilà the girraf

Nice!

GG

So august has been my worst month in terms of volume so far, mainly due to partying etc ... but I ran a shit ton above ev and won like 5k pre rakeback, so it's all good ♦
