Very well put Incog
One way to combat this would be to show your table stack in BB, not $/€/£

Hey mister DecMate!How is it going ... I just now finished watching ur first 4h session on twitch (Xmas time with kids = almost no time)
I have to say ur play looks very solid and u seems very comfi with the NL10 limit. It looks to me that moving up to NL25 is actually due ... and I want to really encourage u to keep on trying ur shots.
I personally almost always (in the past) kept moving up to late and it cost me alot (I guess).
Your Decisions on the River really inspire me to evaluate my gameplay. (this is the point why I am writing here today). Some of ur laydowns are so solid ... its is mindblowing (for me).
Since I watched ur 4h stream over I couple of days a can't really quote a specific hand, sorry about that. But folding TPTK or overpair vs. a shoveAI from a Reg on the River ... is sadly not in my game ... and u keep ur cool and rant and then just fold :thumps_up:Keep it up, and have a good New Year Night/Day. (Sry bad english .. me german)
Thanks for the kind words, really appreciated and keep me motivated! I'm glad you found some value. If you have any specific hands you want me to cover then post them an i'll give you my thoughts!
So far...
So i haven't posted much. It's been Christmas / new years and i've been busy. My BR is currently sitting at an unflattering 570$... I've moved back down to NL10 and haven't been running hot. But i'm still game for trying to hit 1k and taking shots at 750$.
A few hands to illustrate how bad i ran at my '25 shot..

My main focus is improving, i feel i am getting better as a player. I often find faults with others play which is great because it means i see where people are going wrong, which means i'm going right ♠_biggrin:
I'm still watching training videos. I will put the work in this year and i WILL see this through.

Also have a new webcam on the way so my stream gets another upgrade.
I am back to work soon (tomorrow) so i won't be able to grind as hard... But here's to 2021.. Lets get it !!
Heyyyyyy
haven't posted in my challenge thread in a while. Hope everyone's good. Well, better then me,..
I've had a few shots at NL25, one of them longer then the other. Things didn't go too well and the EV i ran under was a joke. I think at one point i ran a full house into a straight flush during a shot.
So it's still sad times with my bankroll. I haven't played a whole lot of volume, I've felt very de-motivated and like "whats the point". But if i'm feeling this now, imagine if i was dependant on poker as my actual income, at a higher limit? (which is my long-term aim).
So anyway, i had a coaching session with weazel, said my stats are looking good and my knowledge not too shabby, and that yet again i have the stats of a winning player. But mindset is something that i need to seriously work on if i want to make anything out of this.
All that said, i've put in a couple streams and still played some moderate volume. But i haven't put it what i consider to be considerable effort, so how can i expect this to reflect in results?.....
Stay tuned.....
I feel u, man. I am taking a break also, since my stab at NL5 in the first 2 weeks of Jan ended in -11BuyIns ... 7 out of them where SetUps (set over set, Flush over Flush, BvB wars with strong pairs, and KK v AA) ...
I had the same feeling (whats the point)... and I am starting to realize (again) that its just the money aspect which is bothering ... normaly it wouldn't, but when we do take a stab at the higher stakes we concentrate on the $ more then we should.
Stay strong keep on trucking and Make it happen!

Keep going mate. I watch your streams (for some reason only few vids left on twitch, the rest is gone) and you play very solid.
You make me feel ashamed of my shitty calls when you are hero folding with such ease. Your discipline is great.
I'm sure a better run will come and you will crush NL10 and 25...
And please steram more as I feel we can learn a lot from you. Also keep up the great tunes 
(a shame twitch mutes some of them together with what you say).
cheers st0rmSC
play to learn

Yeah, unless you are "partner", then twitch keeps videos around only for a short time.
You can see the details here...
