Making a living with STT SNGs

Today 6.22 hours of grind

Graph:

Satisfied with my game today. Studying before and after grind was awesome. While playing rushed in certain spots, made mistakes post as well but overall level of game play was very solid.
cEV is exactly where I want to to be this time by the end of 2017. I am sure that I can get there with more work on HH reviews, applying great range construction post flop. It will take time, failing, getting up many times and doing it all over again until I finally get it 100%!

Twitch was awesome today. 10 people in chat, watching asking questions, being interested in the game of Spins. In about 5 days I have 65 followers. I hope that in the future Twitch will grant me partnership program to offer subscribe feature, more rewards for people following me on the road to crushing this year.
Its nice to see regs from 15s and 30s as well as lower stakes (3 and 7s) come and watch me play. Glad that I can contribute to their game and help them improve.

Tomorrow new day, chance to get in 6 more hours of grind and study minimum 1 session in the morning.
I will do my best to do HH review in the evening after grind like I did today (1.2 hours). In the long run it will clear doubts in regards to range vs range with specific line in mind!

What about those new $0.25 Spins regs?

Soon to be 15$ regs!

Oooh, that´s sad that I missed the party but guess my husband will kill me if I spend so much time with poker.

Pedja = Peter? (I know your name but cannot pronounce it :f_ugly:)

Its different from Peter. We have also Petar, its written like Petar. Pedja is a name or nickname of its own

Twitch update:

Study session at 11:30am, starting in 22 minutes.
Will focus on HU DB analysis for general tendency playing IP vs OOP players.

Had my coffee, now about to eat and studying can start.

See you soon HERE

Twitch update:

Completed HU study session successfully. Found some new adjustments for 3bet nai pots which is always nice!

Now starting with 1st grind session for the day. Join me now HERE

The study session was very good! You can tell quickly that you are a teacher, you can explain very well.

Appreciate it a lot Prim!
Yes, I have been teaching music and guitar lessons for over 15 years. I started when I was 17 years old. I have a lot of amazing and success stories with people traveling the world to come for the weekend and take lessons with me to one student moving in with me to study with me every day - while I was in USA
It translates to poker as well and in general when you think hard about all the possible outcomes and potential problems one can have, then you figure out all the solutions and you can help people easier.
Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. Hope to see you more in future on my Twitch channel

Today 6.52 hours of grind

Very satisfied today with level of play and grind. 1st session had couple of hands I was not happy with at all. 2nd session had also couple of them but they were miss clicks mostly. Then I crashed 3rd 4th session and in the 5th long session I was getting setup and butchered. Ended up running bellow EV for the day.
Today like in previous days, was twitching all my grind sessions and studying. Will continue to do so in the future and very soon will open up spots for webinar where limited number of people can attend and get even more value.

Overall, year has started very nicely. My cEV goal seems reachable after play level like in past 2 days. I will aim to keep same quality of play and improve my hand reading and game plan adjusting even further + keep my study habit and keep on improving. Sky is the limit.

P.S. Due to Thailand travel, I will likely hit this month 100-110 hours of grind only. Leaving on 21st, returning on 2nd of February. Very excited for everything that is going on right now - every day is a blessing for me and I look forward to the process of studying , grinding and improving a lot each day.

Enjoy remaining of your week and I will see you tomorrow for studying and grind on Twitch - will announce it here before I start!

Well, it was a very good lunch break session! Looking forward to tune in during my lunch breaks while I´m eating my soup (delicious self-cooked bone broth) or in the evenings.

Very cool
Today will start things later. Last night went to bed around 3am. I feel very excited that things are working out from studying and that I will get to go to Thailand. This week we will send passports to get visa's and should be all set after it.

Now going to market to grab some food and get coffee. Will announce study session soon!

Twitch update:

12:30pm (37 minutes from now) studying session on Twitch.
Will make it 30ish minutes, focusing on SB vs BB defense vs 3bet nai and then jumping into new area of DB analysis (shallow stack 10-14bb).

Today have 1 lesson that I am teaching at 9:30pm so hopefully I can get in all the grind before it, if not today 5 vs 6 sessions.

Twitch update:

Very strong studying session of over 1.5 hours completed. Finished BVB with OOP play study as well as BTN vs blinds R/C for shallow stacks.
It will take a lot of getting used to, probably a week of testing and experimenting but I really like what I got in the results so far. Definitely gained additional edge.

Grinding starts in 10 minutes. There will be 3 minute delay due to live play.
Audio quality today is diminished. My head set won't work, tried all USB ports, laptop doesn't recognize it anymore. I will open donate option on Twitch to improve streaming quality (lighting, professional camera and headset, editing during live streaming etc).

Today due to guitar and music lesson and movies tonight, I will likely grind less then 6 sessions - 4 or 5 is more realistic.
Lets see what happens!

See you on Twitch

Today 5.03 hours

Graph:

Getting back EV from December bad run. Won 25x! Lost 10x Ajs vs AK bvb vs l/s. 1st session very solid. 2nd session one of the worst in past 3 days. 3rd 4th and 5th session between B and A game with some hands miss played. Overall very happy today with how I played, especially final 3 sessions. I felt in total control!

Teaching now in 7 minutes then going to movies. Today 1 hour less but still tons of things accomplished due to studying over 1.5 hours and getting in solid grind.

Tomorrow will aim to continue my systematic approach:
- Studying 1st thing
- Grinding 6 sessions
- Teaching 8pm 1 lesson
- If there is time, see another movie tomorrow!

Enjoy your week!

As always, a pleasure seeing you grind. You keep me motivated to keep grinding myself.

That feeling when I get 103 cEV/tourney over 151 games and still be down 1bi though ♦

Good Day Ivica,

Not sure if you remember me or not... I used to be very active here a few years back. I quit poker 2 years ago to explore other interests, but still have a deep love for the game in my heart, so every now and then I come back to catch up on your blog.

Glad to see everything you have going on, and especially your twitch stream - I've subscribed and will be watching with interest!

Best of luck to you.

Hi Ramble!

Of course I remember you, you used to come here often and post I also visited your blog and posted there with Steve and rest of the crew.
I am sad to hear that you quit poker but it makes me happy that my Twitch means something to you. Hopefully it will inspire you to play poker again soon.

All the best in the new year my friend!
