Hola amigos! So fresh to start a month with such a sess:
Didnt play sundays as standard this year due to life ev, have to rethink it for next year ♦ but prob still not worth it.
Hands:
PokerStars - $95+$5|20/40 NL (3 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
Hero (BB): 13.1 BB
SB: 24.4 BB (VPIP: 66.98, PFR: 39.18, 3Bet Preflop: 18.42, Hands: 115)
SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has Q♠ K♠
SB calls 0.5 BB, Hero raises to 3 BB, SB calls 2 BB
Flop: (6 BB, 2 players) A♥ 8♠ T♦
Hero bets 2.63 BB, SB calls 2.63 BB
Turn: (11.25 BB, 2 players) 4♣
Hero bets 2.58 BB, SB calls 2.58 BB
River: (16.4 BB, 2 players) 3♥
Hero checks, SB bets 8.2 BB, Hero calls 4.9 BB and is all-in
SB shows J♦ 7♥ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 31%, Flop 25%, Turn 16%)
Hero shows Q♠ K♠ (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 69%, Flop 75%, Turn 84%)
Hero wins 26.2 BB
vill is a unk/fish, with randoms tendency to play value fast even on AXXX boards and odds and assuming most TX showdown that river we should be priced in to make a feel call

New VIP system on P*
I think everyone knows what it is about, just in case: you can read the official changes here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/2016-pokerstars-vip-club-1568814/
First of all they announce it in advance, we have almost 2 months till 2016 and then after hitting sne we have whole 2016 to adjust and move to more high roi oriented play style, while getting 45% rb FREE of any vpp requirements.
Imo sound really fair, specially this change should force some shifts in spins meta game that will make average game softer.
The whining and crying that amaya is butchering poker and thinking only about their bottom line is out of place as they are in it for $, the same as pokerplayers are in it for $.
One shouldn't be angry at a public traded company to make decisions that in their best judgement will increase their profit. It is as weak as getting angry at our opponent making a correct play.
Question whether it's max ev for them or just short term burst of increased revenues is a bit too complicated matter to discuss, without doing extensive research that I don't want to do.
Once again, we are poker players, we adjust for a living. It'll be alright 
for goodnight catch a Polish tune:
keep 'em crushed!
wow, strong mind, I though you would be very angry after trying so hard to get SNE in December. However, I am agreed with you, it might be good change in some aspects
Subbed, what an amazing blog. I love your work ethic bro and your focus towards achieving your goals.
@ups: thanks guys! awfully nice to read comments like those
Good evening/morning! 201 games in, doing pretty decent:

that feeling when you trap works better than expected

what you think of this value line vs fish?
cool utube channel, interesting stuff in approachable way
now off I go to analyze a bit and then catch my 8 hours ;d keep 'em crushed!
Wow. Just. Wow. Amazing blog, amazing post of "the myths" in poker, I certainly had suspected the same, but not so eloquently!
May I ask how did you meet your venezuelan girlfriend? Its very rare for venezuelan/colombian girls to speak good english; so do you speak spanish? Also coming from Wroclaw 
I only know it as the city you always change trains when travelling from south-germany to Poland haha...

open limping in the sb is way too much ahead of me. Was the guy a fish or a reg?

I think it's pretty standard 
Also, amazing positivism from you. I'm also not thaat worried about Stars' changes; I think I'm more afraid if the tables become annonymus or some crazy stuff like that to prevent HUDs from working. I'm really hoping stars does not ban HUDs; it's ok if they ban seating scripts, hell even StarsHelper type of scripts, but HUDs That would make multitabling way harder...
GL, Keep crushing!
@SmokingDough: adjust playstyle, keep grinding, major changes for 2017
@Volrath89: thanks a ton! love to see such replies ♦
i've met Mari in a pub in Malta on one of couchsurfing meetings. She was actually studying business English there. She works in English-Spanish marketing company so she knows the language really well ♦ almost none language barrier there. My Spanish is on a low level which is really lame all things considered. I wanted to learn this year but sadly it didn't get high enough on to do list.
Wroclaw is one of my favorite Polish cities! ♦ next time you pass through stay for a day or two, great food, great pubs/clubs, Polish alcohol and nightlife 
doesnt need advertising.
Regarding changes and hud, i would prefer if hud stayed but probably, sadly they'll ban it as well. Just makes a lot of sense for them. But I wouldn't worry much about it, worst would be if they removed hand histories in my opinion because it would make any work outside of tables way more difficult.
GL for you too!

But he didn't play that bad, did he? He was obv value betting thin and maybe balancing his bluffs if he does that all the time I think his play is not that bad; but im not sure, you would tell us

ev c/g - all-in adjusted chips per game
and that hand was a big missplay by him. It's literally the worst hand to bet there, try to think of my range after raising turn and what happens on river when he bets or when he checks
click clack clock! solid 221 games in, 97k to go!
would post some boomz but website is down : d
keep them crushed!
Another short weekly update! Pretty smooth week, had mindset coaching and did some work outside of tables. Feels good to enjoy playing Tomorrow we go sightseeing in Port Louis.
VPP till SNE: 80k
