Ride the spiral!

Okay, so I started playing today, stats will follow soon.
I also added some goals to the first post

Had a road trip and birthday party last night. Came home like 3-4 hours ago. I`m tired and have a hangover but going to do my daily routine and play some hands. If I find it hard to focus I`ll have to stop and relax a bit.
So far I played 972 hands on 2NL/5NL, mixed on regular and speed tables. My profit so far is $7.7 and most of the profit comes from 2NL regular tables. I think I`m breaking even overall on speed tables.

I`m not very satisfied with my game, calling too much where I shouldn`t, anyways here are my stats so far :

Not running really good. Had some coolers, bad straights over nut straights, lost KKvsJJ, set over set in MW 3bet pot but still like $10 in profit after RB :

And the bad beats continue, another stop/loss day. Lost 2x all in QQ vs AK ( people are 3betting like crazy ) and these 2 hands :

Overall graph

Moved from iPoker to Pokerstars since speed tables at iPoker are full of regs and there`s not much fish there.
I haven`t played great at iPoker and had bunch of bad beats. Managed to end up in overall profit 30 cents after bonuses ♦

Had bad start at Pokerstars, my premium hands got beaten in 3bet pots where people push all-in with draws.
Today was amazing day, was down 6 buy-ins and managed to go up 11 buy-ins in profit. Finished day with 9 buy-ins in profit.

Here are the Pokerstars stats so far :

Didn't really had time to update the blog since I've been busy at work and I was struggling to put in hours at the tables. Still managed to play 137 hours in november and november was great!
I ended up with total profit of 555e in november! Around $250 was from bonuses, rakeback and managed to finish 3rd in $200 GTD with free ticket and shipped $23.

I moved up to 10NL, mixed my play between zoom and reg tables and last 10 days played only reg tables.
Unfortunately, my SSD hard got messed up when I was exporting hands from HM2 to PT4 and I`ve lost hand history from Stars. My friend might be able to fix SSD but I do have hand history from Party saved so here is the graph :

I’m not satisfied with my volume in december since I’ve got sick and couldn't keep focus on more than 2 tables.
I did managed to put some hours in since job allowed me, but volume is low – around 12k hands so far.

However, I’m satisfied with the results, running good and fish is paying off my good hands. I also moved to 25NL today.

Party stats :

Stars stats :

Well, finally got time to update the blog. I kinda have tradition to have drinking marathon on start of the every year so first 2 days I was completely wasted ♦
Anyways, here is the december overview :

Total profit: 906€ ( around half of the profit was from bonuses – rakeback, promos and deposit bonuses )
Hours played: 171
Hands played: I’ve played blaze poker on microgaming for a week during their cannon promo and hands are not tracked but total amount should be around 80k I guess.

Almost double profit amount when compared to november but overall I am not happy with my play during december.
Yes I didn’t run so good, had 1 failed shot at nl25 where I lost 8 buy-ins, then grinded nl10 back and I am now about stable at nl25 and have confidence that I am beating it. I even have the bankroll for nl50 for a while already but I don’t mind staying a bit more at nl25.
In december I’ve had bunch of bad plays, missclicks, missreads, timeouts, crying calls and I also had some donkey plays on tilt.
Good thing is that I am aware of that and I will drastically lower the mistakes in this year!
I was also sick for a week and could hardly keep up good mental game during that time.

January goals:
January will be really busy month for me so I will create somewhat reasonable goals but still challenging ones that will keep me pushing!

– Profit at least 1,000€
– Play at least 130 hours in total
– Play at least 60k hands

Time to finally update the blog.

January and february was really bad months for me.
My mental game was bad and instead of profiting big I ended up breaking even. I tilted very easy and had many idiot plays which costed me bunch of buyins. There is no excuse for that but lesson learned and I really need to work harder to make up the mistakes.

However, this month I am back on track and hopefully crash the game!
March started okayish so far. I feel confident at nl50 and I know I can beat this limit.

I will try to update the blog more often from now on.

This month started okay.

So far I am 350 euros in profit. Ive been running really hot at party poker ( graph bellow ), but on microgaming and fulltilt Im running really really bad. Bunch of coolers and monsters over monsters.

Heres that fancy PartyPoker graph

Today was good day. Profit on the tables + bad beat jackpot hit

So far 850 euros profit this month.

Last week I didn't put much hours.

Had some stuff to deal with and I'm having guests for a few days.

Anyways, so far this month I've played ~30k hands and profited 1,271 euro.

This week I didn’t played much, I had guests and played just few hours daily.
However, I still managed to profit which is good. So far in march I’ve played ~40k hands and profited 1500 euros.

Here is the graph combined on 3 networks I play :
( I also played on unibet where tracking software doesn’t work and miserably failed. I need to get used to play with limited reads and without HUD. )

Time for march update

Hours played : 140.5
Hands played : 63.120 ( tracked hands + maybe 5-10k untracked hands at unibet )
Profit : 2375

Nice profit overall and this is my record month
But, am I satisfied? Hell NO! It could be EVEN better. I just did detailed hand analysis and found many spots where I made bunch of mistakes and -EV plays in big pots.
I am also aware of the hands that aren`t tracked at unibet, and most of my loss there was on tilt ( software is so tilting for me, but I'm the one to blame ).
I could also put a bit more hours in.

On the other side, I am really confident in my game and I feel like I am completely crushing nl50. 10bb/100 winrate over 60k hands could say that, still need more hands.. But look at that sexy red line in graph bellow

I improved my game a lot and I am going towards breaking every hand in details, collecting all the information I have and based on that make best possible decision in every situation in poker. Still lots of stuff left to learn.

I am ready to move up to nl100 and have bankroll for it but I don't mind waiting a bit more and I'm sort of punishing myself for not making any learning progress in Coaching for Profits program.
Its close to 6 months since I am in Coaching for Profits program and I've learned and improved a lot! I started with nl5 and now crushing nl50 and I believe I am ready for nl100.
But everything could be faster and better. I could get rid off of my own bullshit earlier and actually do and follow what is asked/told. When I review things in past 5 months I realize how fucking easy it is to crush the micros and I could save at least 1 month of my time ( if not more ).

I'm also proud to say that I've been asked to be coach for micro students and I gladly accepted it. I couldn't even imagine 5 months ago that I will be a coach
I had already 3 coaching sessions as a coach and I really enjoyed them. Micro students was active and I've got mostly good comments/ratings. Still, there's lots of room for improvement in coaching field

Anyways, time for that march graph ( all networks combined ) :

And lets continue "lookin' for that green bag"

Sick winrate and very nice month

Thank you sir.
Still, could be better

April overview :

Profit: € 1114
Hands: ~80k

I’m not satisfied with april at all, played poorly and profit is coming from bonuses. It could be easily 5k+ month…

But anyways, I feel like I’m gonna completely crush in may!

May overview :

Profit: € 1536
Hands: ~90k

Not satisfied with the results again. Yeah its 1.5k profit but could be easily 5k or even more.
I did not played great and I was also running terrible in may.
My biggest leak is mental game and I seriously need to work on it since I found bunch of speewy moves while reviewing hands in may.
