Anyways that is how my life look atm ^^, DOOMSWITCH IS ON!

Nah But I've mostly been running really really bad at PLO 5, how is that even possible? I really don't know. Just some bis under EV i guess ^^.

I really don't care as I know I play good. =) I made the best of every situation and played it to my fullest. I haven't spewed even if things have gone really bad from time to time.

It's just feels that I am crushing the game.

Today I am been playing 8 tables of zoom ^^, it has been a tough challenge idd. But I think I would manage 6 tables of zoom 4 NL 10 and 2 NL 5.

Things are getting better ^^ Still down a bit, but the yellow line is going up up and up atleast ^^.

Graph for stars and ftp

I know it's not super sexy or anything, but omaha make it swing badly :(

I will make some volume today, damn I gonna turn this thing around!

And I also decided to start to play super honest, I mean the avg player on those stakes aren't very creative. They won't raise less then 2p for value.

First + day in a week or something. That feels really good =) No more QhJhTh flops when I get AA and get called postflop ^^ obv without the Ah!

Nah but it feels like I am been running real bad, and been running into some sick setups or that they have managed to spike some lucky rivers.

You certently knows how it feels when everything is against you, and you start to misstrust your game etc.

But atleast I have put in the volume, more volume then I am used of even. Almost 4k h a day.

And the matter that I am still 13 bis below ev is just pretty sick haha. On such a small sample.

I really really hope that I am back to this weekend, and I am on a total plus!
Right now I am on - =(.

What will happen with my game, to improve? Well I will stop making bluffs what is marginal against weakplayers who is stuck in the micros for a reason.
Even if the bluffs is good and makes sense. Bad players won't fold. And when I am defending a 3b in pos, I am not super faceup. even if I hold 99 JJ TT they will still stack off on all flops were I hit a set, if it's an overpair will say.

I think I am super afraid of getting exploited by playing to tight. Dunno why.

I hope someone bared to read all this nonsense ^^.

Have a nice evening, nn.

Longtime no update, I have been really bad at updating and I haven't really cared.
latley I've been playing mtts with mixxed results, my postflop game have improved alot, and I've gone from a bb/100 @ 6.8 to a bb/100@10.4 the latest is this years result over 1.9k tournys so really no sample size. This first graph is my lifetime graph

This one is this year

it's looks alot more swingy but actually it's much more solid!

I will be updating this blog to ventilate my thougts and feelings and general everyday stuff!

Hello guys and gals, i've been working pretty nonstop for a month, I got that period 3/12 months per year. So it's affects the poker volume.

Anyhow I disagree with pokerstars changes so I am pretty much picking up my bag and start to flee.

So now I am pretty much searching for some rooms that I haven't played on yet. So I can be able to bonuswhore :f_rolleyes:.

I have been working on my postflop game, it's nowhere close to what I want it to be, but it's so much better then it used to, and well it's just to look at my winrates from this years sample compared with last year. Was something like 6.6/bb 100 in 2016 over a 500k sample, this year it has pulled it's way up to 10.6bb/100 just a 150k sample though.

Last year I ran clearly over EV, this year I am very close to +-0 in the result-value compared to my actual all in EV.

The main thing that I have changed in my gameplay is my CB freq, so my xb range is stronger in general.

Sorry for a long post, doubt that anyone is reading it through though :f_biggrin:

I will start posting hands as soon as I am back on the grind again! But in general i put everything that can't stand a check raise into my xb range if that make sense. I can't get any good examples atm as I can't reach my database :/ I am truly sorry.

So in a simple manner we protect our middling range, especially at lower stakes where people probe every time u xb so we build value from total airballs :).
