Yesterday was awful went down a rough 4BI. Was superbly tired in the evening so crashed to bed early. Woke up at 4am feeling fresh so decided to be productive and crush the morning before heading for a business trip day.
Mainly played at Stars reg tables this time as the smaller site gave near 0 action after i stacked the 2 tables remaining at that hour.
Could say it was a goood morning. Alas playing vs. most likely very tired opponents has its benefits

Hi guys!
Yesterday I was grinding on the edge of my SL but I am very very happy. With some coaching in again I was enlightened. I was able to get up from the SL threat and finish the day on ok situation even with few BI lost.
Gotta say yesterday's shit I learned form coaching was something that I think will turn shit around for me on the pokertables from ok to epic. Number one. I am now super pumped on sitting into Pokerstars zoom. Also I am super pumped with understanding the meta from all the coaching. I think I am finally into something. I just need the hours and volume now so its all up to me. Mechanics are easy but understanding the meta just made zoom fun AF.
Only two tabled early morning today and got in like 2 hours and 1k hands but with some epic improvements to my game. I am hungry now. I cannot wait to get back to the tables from the work grind and family. Shit is going to get real from now on. Zoom now feels as easy as MTTs felt when I made over 15k on winnings at Pocket5s being in the top 100 players in my country. I got in great hands marked and I analyzed them immediately after the session just to make sure I didn't fuck up...and I didn't. Time to step into the dream and make it real!
Here is the early morning hours at Pokerstars NL5z

Will post some hands later today after the evening session. Thanks for the read and GL at the tables again!
Looks good
Where did you get your coaching from? You can PM me if it was outside of pokerstrategy.
I get coaching from a solid NL200+ reg. I think afaik it should stay with this level of info.
Here a one exciting hand that I for some reason seem to get involved in with monsters and yet again ofc with a totally unknown player

I still think it was quite solid plan to call here even though it had me thinking as I have seen such crazy UTG opens calling 3bets super lightly but well its NL5 so yea..anything can happen
Nice stuff bro! I love that feeling when it all starts to seem to flow. Keep crushing!

Back to the grind.

I started grinding after midnight and played few hours. Slept some and played few more hours. No matter what this has been one of the greatest poker grinding sessions ever. Results are amazing as take few mnths even few weeks and i would have not done anything but just flip out around 1.2k hands too scared to hit SL or just annoyed by the whole coldest deck on earth kinda small ball fighting the fight of loosing battle. But with the knowledge I can beat the pool to the ground even though the night was filled with nitfags it was only a matter of time that i would start actually connecting and taking their moniez.
Then 260bb multiway pot home as 95,5% favourite when money went in and shit started to go uphill again. Was finally making them bastards pay for the calldowns with 3rd pair they had just hour ago eaten me alive. and BOOM I was back. I just love the fact that I can stay confident and play my game and it will be an ez game t beat these guys like that.

vs. toally unknow with less than 100bb stack=fish would you take this flip?

Hi
Thanks you for your well wishes.
I feel like My head is full of gooey slime and as long as The meds hold The fever down I feel ok. This week My goal is to get at least 20h on and 10k+ hands. Today I have Been 3 tabling for 5 hours So far. I think as long as I keep The lines in order The 3 tables seems ok. Will try and add 4th maybe next week or something. Maybe earlier If I keep crushing The sessions.
Point being putting in Volume when you Have a House full of Kids and a wife along with quite responsible Job it is hard to put on as many hours as I would like. But now as I made a small breakthru on My game it seems I am able to grind a lot More. And zoomnits are not as intimidating as they were.
Keep on going...
As a part time grinder i`m really impressed in the volume you manage to play....
GL at the tables

So I Will put on several other challenges to The first Post.
So one goal I am setting on this Post is to read/listen 20 non Poker related books before The end of August 2019.
Upon finishing a book I Will Post about it and Post on The first page too.
Pokerwise.
Hit stoploss at 1k hands. Crazy Times at tables. Suddely 10+ donks sat The pool and won everything and played super aggro too. Just unbeatable. So reading up now a bit and Will throw a early morning session.
