Thanks, Janis :)

So, i've noticed that i have some mindset issues(tho, sometimes it looks like it's working perfectly), any of you could recommend any books, vids, articles or smtg else to improve it? (Obv, except "Poker Mindset" )

Hey Bigniux!

As you know I have been following your blog ever since the start, but only recently has it become extra interesting to me. This is because I have decided to try to play MTT-SNG's myself.

I would aprechiate if you could add me on skype: voneki. To chat about some hands, and what not.

Thanks!

@vonki: Skype gave me 79 matches when i searched for 'voneki', could you give more details so i can find you? Or add me, skype: b.i.g.n.i.u.x (no one else has such, so it will be easy to find )

Two days ago tilted 100$ on NL50 HU Wasn't nice to lose 2 BI in ~15hands lol. But yday tried to play it normally(no tilty all-in bluffs, etc ). Obv, ran good, made some bad plays tho. Anyway, see graph below, over EV cause of AQ > AA and rivered 6outer :) I wish i didn't spew ~200$ on it earlier(reason of showdown winnings going down) Yday starts at the point where non-showdown winnings line becomes flat, 581 hands, 212,5bb/100 hands +617,25$ almost 5 stacks over EV lol. After stars session thought that i could play HU for 30 mins, so was browsing table and boom, green note on a guy FISH, sat down with him, after few hands checked that he's sitting on two tables, so 2tabled him and took 5 stacks in 157 hand _cool:

Here's one hand vs late night fish :)

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (2 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

BB ($55.15)
Hero (SB) ($116.05)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, K
Hero bets $1.50, BB raises to $5, Hero calls $3.50

Flop: ($10) K, 6, 9 (2 players)
BB bets $6.50, Hero calls $6.50

Turn: ($23) 5 (2 players)
BB bets $43.65 (All-In), Hero calls $43.65

River: ($110.30) 4 (2 players, 1 all-in)

Total pot: $110.30 | Rake: $0.50

Results:
Hero had Q, K (one pair, Kings).
BB had 8, A (high card, Ace).
Outcome: Hero won $109.80

I also had made a decision that i won't play on stars yday But my plans changed, friend was on hangover so i didn't go out and since i had nothing else to do, i obv played!!! :f_cool: And guess what? Look below for an answer

Sup,

recently i felt dissatisfied with stars traffic, so i started to play on FTP too(HU helped to built a BR, so why not take it further _cool: ). Playing 45mans and 90man KOs there, 10$-24$ BIs :) For some reasons i prefer 45mans, cause blind structure doesn't have antes. Running solid at KOs 0/17 ITM got only few bounties. Already shipped 24$ 45man. Here's the total:

[ ] sample :f_biggrin:

I think i didn't post my progress for supernova :) here it is

I'll be paying more rake later on, which means that achieving SN will be super easy :) so, i'm going for 200k VPPs milestone from now on. Goal is to reach SN until August, so i can get 4k$ bonus for my bday Tho, i'm a bit behind the pace, but still should get there without any problem :)

Want to buy 27" monitor asap, then i'll buy PS3 and Gran Turismo 5 It obv sucks that Forza Motorsports is only for Xbox, meaning that i'll obv have to buy Xbox too And ofc i need this

Price should be ~600$, quite expensive, but as i know it's one of the best in the market :)

do you play 45s and 90s at the same time?
just wondering cuz they are so different.( stacks, speed, antes)
never played the 45s before cuz they seemed weird being non-turbo and no-antes.
you play the 45s and 90s the same way?

@Jafreiteris: Both sites are fine, FTP is fishier, tho doesn't have that much traffic and allows only 16tabling, stars are tougher, but i can play as many tables as i can open and i prefer stars software :)

So, was hanging out with friends a bit today, had small home game, doubled my BI with 0% went to showdown Since i got back quite late, did only small session, 30 games on stars(0 ITM) and 18 games on FTP(1 ITM). Took a shot on FTP, opened one $48+$4 90man KO and two $69+$6 45mans, got deep only in $48 KO, i mean, i shipped it and got 10 KO bounties(10x$8=$80 :f_cool: )

Here's the proof:

Obv nice when shot works _biggrin:

Finished deals with both stakees, got 240% ROI on one of them, still waiting for results from other guy :) He's up too, so it's cool, will be playing only $24+ limits on FTP soon, probably will play only $48 KOs and $69 45mans later on, when i'll start playing 45mans on stars, i think smaller stakes don't add up enough to my $/hour, cause 45s are regular speed on FTP and KOs are double stack. Tho, will take a long looooonngg time till i get sample sizes on high stakes haha :f_biggrin:

No car today, tho some interesting vids :)

Yeah, i play everything at same time :) Playing same, just adjusting to blind structure, cause with antes pushing ranges are way wider :)

Ty :)

HUD:
Name/Hands/Stack in BBs
VPIP/PFR/3bet%

Tho, i don't use it, usually i turn it on when i'm finishing so i get all my hands imported to HEM and this helps to mark few regs i might have missed :)

Running like shit on 12/180, 160 BI downswing in last 700 games :f_confused: Even tho, i'm down 1,7k$ on 12/180 in Feb, in total i'm still up 3k$ crushing 3r and 7/180 :) Pumped up my ROI on 3r from 59% on Jan 31st to 68% today :f_biggrin:

Add -27 BIs to the downswing on 12s :f_frown: i wonder when i'll reach the bottom of it, just can't wait till my graph will look as a skyrocket(i hope it will)

I'm considering going for Supernova Elite next year, yeah 2011 just started, but SNE is not a joke and i would need to test myself before i'm sure that i'm going for it :) Tho, everything depends if i'll start studying this year or not. Thing is that i don't see how i could start studies when i'm earning shitloads of $ Things should sort out till the middle of July :)

Speaking about earning shitloads of money, friend told me one thing today. Do you imagine that it can possibly make things worse in the future? Since i'm not planning to be a poker pro for my whole life, i would have to get "standart" work, which means going down from 60+$/hour to shitty 3-5$/hour :f_confused: That should be difficult. The good thing is that i still have at least 6,5 years to find the way out :) (4 years bachelor studies + 2 years master studies). Ugh, and again, so much stuff going in my head

EDIT: I didn't realize that i'm down so much on FTP recently check this out:

Spoiler

Add up 900ish $ downer on stars and the total figure seems quite disgusting :f_eek: I either need to start winning at FTP or stop playing there

Nothing too fancy, just a sick Honda :f_grin:

Ok, so i've got a small issue. I'm looking for a new watch, got an offer where i can get it cheaply, i've checked all of them and i came down with two, can't make a decision, any help?

Here are those watches:

Silver:

Black:

They are so cheap, only 167$. Would be nice to get your opinions why you prefer one against other :) If you have any other suggestions, they are more than welcome
