Micros for a living

received the rake race from last month at bet victor and cashed out to neteller but first i played a little bit on their cannon promotion to see how it was, its a good value but i will play hard on party poker now , there is a new promotion where i must grind a ton , i will try to play as much as i can since now i'm on vacation of the colege . btw this week was a really lazy one i didnt play at all shit , i just won this amount because of a promotion on party and the rakeback because at the tables i won almost nothing but now this will change , lets grow this fucking bankroll, i'm stuck on this for a month or so lol , gogogo ♠_evil:

Bankroll : $1189.56

I guess you are going for the full $1500 then? GLGL will be a sick grind

yes full $1500 , i think i can get to $4k bank after that so will be close to finish the challenge , i will try to finish in 21 ~ 23 days i'm playing a lot you will see the graph of the week ♦

Hahah crazy!!! How many hours you play per day to get it in 21-23 days? Woud be sick to still see positive wr after that many hands. Will be looking forward to it! GLGL!

well , tough week , played a lot at the beggining but i lost a lot of money and today i almost didnt play because i needed to study for a last test but everything went ok there , this is the graph :

basically i'm probably running bad i think, i dont think its possible for the way i play the post flop that is very tight and i have only 24% of WTSD so i only go to SD with good hands , but my WSD is at 48% ?(?(?(?(?( , really dont understand how is that possible and you guys can see at the blue line , super shit, only loosing all the time, all the time going to SD with the worst hand , i think this cant be just me playing that bad , anyway i will keep the same game and lets see this week if i keep with the super bad results i might try something new but overall i cant see any big changes i'm really feeling like i'm going with KJ against AJ a lot often for example or QQ x KK , KQ x AK , 99 x TT this kind of thing . this week i will try to play more and i will probably because i dont have any more tests.

When the playerpool has a VPIP of 9 (which it was when I checked, and also makes sense, people play super tight to get all the hands in....) then it's hard to get a nice blue line. You don't always lose at showdown or your blue line would be below 0 But what you got to do is work on your post flop game and get the redline to stop going down that much. Red line rampage from weazel could probably be of help.

its almost 0 , $100 is nothing for the blue line , i tried a lot of thing on the red line the thing that helped the most was to start defending more , btw the playerpool stats is at 21.46 / 16.56 / 6.8 3bet , this is really nit but the bad thing is that they are stealling a lot , more than the other rooms i played, and post flop they are aways very strong because of the nit pfr , what i found profitable was to steal more and defend more the blinds but post flop i really dont wanna bluff , many players can call with second pair a double barrel or call 3barrel with Ahigh sometimes , their fold to turn cbet is at 36% so the best thing i think it is to cbet flop if they call just give up , without bluffing post flop i found it really hard to have a BE or better red line .

I know it's not a lot for a blue line, but having a great blue line usually comes from playing vs recreational players, who call down lighter... if you play in one of the nittiest pools out there, your blue line can never be as high compared to playing in less nitty games... In theory, if 2 players would play the exact same way with all their hands (with 2 nitty players playing each other, this becomes almost inevitable with a majority of their range), neither of them would make a profit in the long run. Bottom line is, playing vs tight players will never result in a great blue line...

Nonetheless, GL to you, hope you make it!

well guys, so far so bad , i'm tired of playing now , loosing for too much time , idk when i'm gonna finish this now , i'm reviewing some stuff to see if i can at least stop loosing too much but the player pool is hard as fk , never lost money at nl10 but playing tons of hands per hour and tons of hours makes you play your B game at the best scenario and the players are all trying too loose as little as possible aswell and there is almost no donks around , anyway even if i keep loosing still worth playing because of the rakeback but its really annoying and hard to find motivation to play .

hi guys , the motivation to play is gone, this is the most boring thing to play existent in the earth , idk anymore when i'm going to finish this but i got to finish somehow because its too much money , and i need to finish the monthly rakerace and the $500 bonus from vip and the $150 left from the deposit bonus and of course the $900 last part, about the game i'm trying some different strategys but its a hard player pool , to have a positive red line i got to start bluffing but sometimes i get some super idiot calls , its hard to bluff people when you dont know if they are going to fold the hand you know they have , today i got called in a hand where i called pf board was T6684 or something like this i read the guy had over pair and was doing a thin value bet on the river so i raised all in bluff after calling flop turn and the guy called with AA loosing to everything..... latter i saw that the guy had a bit high WTSD soo this might explain why he called , soo maybe it was my bad but i already got called a lot on this kind of hands , i read the guy , i'm right about his cards but he hero calls loosing to a tons of possible hands , and at the same time my set value hands are all BE or a bit down , i'm not getting the money for value and getting called on some bluffs , i dont have many hands on the players because there are around 500 players in the pool soo its hard to make plays based on stats , as you guys can see on the graph i had an a lot better red line this week, lets see if i can find the balance between bluffing, bluff catching and giving up .

Playing less hands and paying more attention would make the game more interesting for you and you could improve your game by doing this ;-). Offcourse autopiloting and mass-tabling all the time isn't much fun. And even worse: Your autopilot doesn't seem to be very good, since you are not winning. Might be variance, but more likely your downswing is because of bad play. Start paying more attention to opponents, write notes and a poker diary where you note interesting hands! You probably are bluffing away too much money, since you expect people to fold their overpairs. Probably you also are not going for thin enough value because of the same thoughts. I have had the same leak. Furthermore reading villains hands well doesn't serve you, if you draw the wrong conclusions. If you read villain on an overpair for example, maybe the right conclusion is to just fold your weak value hands and bluffs because villains range is strong instead of spewing away money by bluffing.

another low volume week , at least i'm not loosing like i was before , more 113.5k hands to finish this and i will make a graph with all the hands so far , you guys will be impressed on how much the rakeback helped here lol .

good week , almost finishing , i didnt play at party today , i started playing on the other room where i will play nl25 and its realy nice , soooo much better to play less hands per hour and having a big time bank to think about hard decisions , i will finish this slowly now , i only need to finish this till 14th soo i will only play a little bit per day at party , i need more 19.5k hands i think , i will post here my graph with all the hands i played at party , the worst graph of my life :

i dont recommend to anyone to play zoom or play in big sites in general , its not worth it , you just get mad by not winning and you loose the motivation to play , today i played for 8 hours basicaly without stops and no problem at all , playing 6 tables of nl25 and ended up winning like 2.5 bi'ns , its a lot better , even if you play for a promo like that where its 100% +EV and you know you will get those 1500 no matter what , you still get mad for not beeing able to beat the game , but i dont think many people are able to beat this , playing for many hours like 1000 ~ 1200 hands per hour its super boring , and when you want to maintain a good volume and a good winrate its indispensable to have some motivation , well lets hope i will be able to crush this limit now .

i'm not going to specify everything this week because i won money with bonuses promotions i played in 2 different sites i cashed out a little , etc etc etc... next week i will post it normally again .
