You've got enough readers, but you just don't write enough ♦

Do you listen to this while grinding TLN?

Also wtf at people saying you can just mind power through depression, poker and positive thinking is good but there is a difference between depression cause by life factors (friend dieing etc) and chemical imbalances in your brain.
You can no more get rid of it with wishful thinking than you could schizophrenia, or a genetic disease.

Pop philosophy really ftl here.

Hey Mr. Grinder!

You haven't been online whole day and since I said you get my answer today, I will just post it in here.

We can talk about it next days in skype if you want to since I will just post a short answer now.

- No, my initial snapcall was not to scare you away. I wanted to make sure in case you rly did the challenge I get the chance to buy as much action as I want to - which I got. Basically like an Option in the finance markets, alw good to have those

- I did talk to close highstakes friends who might have also been interested in sharing some action. Together we found more than 10 points suggesting not to bet against you and only one to do so. The one is that all of us think you won't make it and its a slightly +EV bet. Maybe you run incredibly hot and are strong enough mindset wise one out of ten.

- I know you think I pussy out now (which I kinda am given all that scamming shit in my environment), but if you were in our spot getting scammed within last weeks for 7.5k and 30k from ppl we know better than I know you, you get the point of consideration I think.

- And the argument "I could control everything to the max" doesnt rly count, cuz if I bet 25k:5k it's obv not worth my hourly investing many days in that. I can make more than 5k playing myself easily. So EV wise I think I have to pass and also those 4 weeks of being a) afraid of getting scammed somewhere and b) you really beating that challenge (which rly would be super sick!) would make my life less valuable which makes it -EV overall.

- And since I am an EV bitch, I cannot take any action for that challenge, sry.

Now, I obv wish you all the best for it and hope you run good.
I think posting it on 2+2 and let Ingrid or other officials post your thread in German and Russian Community on PS will def get you enough action.

but unlike finance markets, you don't have to pay for your unexercised options eh

@TT: i am not surprised u re out, i am surprised u SNAPped all the action before. anyway, np, i think its unlikely the challenge will happen now on time i wanted it to be and since i have other projects i cant rly just postpone it, but still: this current practicing rly made me a stronger plr, so still thx for snapping the action

i will post abt the cahlllenge likely to the diamond member forum and thats abt it, no chance i guess i get 50k in action on 2+2 within 3weeks as a total unknown. I might attempt it sometime in March or so next year, but i d need sb to rly help me organizing it and make it public on 2+2. Anyone? Initially i rly thought its way the best to do it throug pokerstrategy, since they offer the 50$ free, right? so its rly a hell of a marketizing for em even if i come close. I thought sb from the management must rly bet vs me coz its a win-win for pokerstrategy rly..

Ivan: TLN contact my in skype when you have time, u know you can always have my support!

I rly hope that you'll share all the action and make us audience.
It looks really interesting, although i'm sure that u will win.

thx for the support!

yea, i think i ll get some action eventually. I rly dont have the time to properly organize this atm coz i am trying to play a lot plus i am preparing a lot of materials for my coachings (more abt this on a big update some time abt in a month). I will fully engage in this starting from the next week's tuesday. I am thinking, if i dont get enough action, i might do some sort of a "small micros" challenge of : 50$-1k$ in 10days (!?). i think i ll be ok if i get "just" 20k action for those 10days. What do u guys think abt such a thing? (i would not be allowed fe to play any higher than NL50)

overall, i am having 1 of the best times of my playing carreer rly. Rly rly rly enjoying playing atm. Even though i dont play perfect at all, coz i rly pushed myself way too many times. (to play as much as 14h/day few times), i have increased my working ethic by a tremendous degree, so am rly looking to the future w a lot of positive thinking. I am also a tiny bit contemplating going for a SNE the next year, but prolly not rly worth it for me, must study it more. (too committing to play just on 1 site vs the best regs in the world and not tableselect at all, but maybe if its enough to play ~600k hands on NL600-5k then i could still do it while playing some other sites a bit too)

gl everyone, more from me soon. I am also a black member within days (finally!- i could have been one ~1.5y earlier had i played all tracked), so will let u know when can we celebrate this by some of the love coachings for sure!

ah also: here is the vid of me playing vs Insyder , i produced a commented video from my side for pokerstrategy as well, but sofar i somehow couldnt upload it for technical problems and noone rly cares, so i am fine w that. I think i played pretty much perfectly except for prolly 2 semibig mistakes i ve made (afair atm): 1, where he c/r the 842ss board hoep it was it (he had some sort of A7o?!) and i had Q9s i think, and T broguth a Q, i should have deffo b/shove, but i just had some action on the other tab so i missed it.
2, on the board AJ55x sss i should have folded my Ax. I honestly thought abt turning it to a bluff to fold out chops, in the end i was thinking so much i thought it would look as what it is and then just kinda the stupid curiousity won and i clicked to call, but i know Insyder is very delicate abt his valuebets and i am sure he is NOT vbetting just any Ax everytime, even though he kind of tryies to get across in the vid that he would, my exp w playing vs him is rly diff. Shame we only played so short, i think in the near future he ll try to do some more of the vids and if we play NL1k it would be a whole series. Atm i am unsure coz he is overall deffo a better HU plr, but since his NL skills are deteriorating as of lately coz only specializing on PLO, i might give it a shot, i think in my best shape i stand a fair chance for an interesting battle.

Moderator? WTF?
Does everyone from ENG community wanna hide that he is a BM?

Sup, i watched the video already.
In this vid in 17:35 min on the left table i am really interested in your river decision, can u explain more, please.

to the hand: PF: prior to the hand i was not getting any suited nice looking hands so i was rly passive pre hence i decided to 3bet 97o now. i know his range will be still reasonably wide coz for the vid and that he likes to play ip esp early to both distract me from later 3betting him and/or establishing an agro image in big pots.

Now F: i cbet coz this board hits my range a lot more than his. Its unclear whether this is a vbet or a bluff for now, the hand will evolve later on. Now a J comes on T. I have a decision: do i turn my hand to bluff trying to bluff Jxhh or some lowest Ax by R? (bluffing on R: 6, T, K, hearts fe vs his weak sd hand). I decided at this point of the match i have the best hand a lot coz he just wants to see how i play 3bet pots oop, so i elect to just check. Also: its likely he ll just calldown w any A even on R bad cards for him, coz its early in the match and he just wants to see what i have. I would have deffo c/c, but he decides to check, which is interesting. To me he never has better than AT and most of his hands are fds or 89, 68. From the way i know him from our SH games, he is a leveller thinker a lot. On the T the STP is awkward for him and i know he doesnt want to get c/shoved on, esp coz my image at the time is such that i might not get 3streets of value from anything else than an Ax (which he would 4bet/fold pre also a lot coz of reverse implieds) so a c/shove is a big threat to him.

So on the R: J paires, which gives him now a reason to vbet any Ax (~15-20 was my estimate at the time) and also Jxhh, which are like 3-4combos only tho, JThh, JQ, JKhh, maybe J9h. I know however, he knows i am a good handreader so he expects me to fold pretty much everythin except for a Ax+. So dynamic wise its for the pot odds a call quite easy i think. Now combowise: vs many ppl this is a fold still. If i play vs some hyperagro i likely fold a lot coz they bet draws on T so much. But he is different. I know for good that he likes to take many passive lines so so often. So my thought process is: he clsoe to always has: 68s, 89s, any any fd (which is ~ 15-20combos in his range - the same as A) and then i think he might have a 56, 54 or Khigh (paritcuarly KQ or KT, he is turning int a thin bluff vs my any lowest pair. Once i realized he might as well very very often have KQ w Kh, my estimation came to the conslusive: i am good ~coming close to 50% of the time (there are prolly 1.3x times bluffcombos in his range on R compared to value, but lets say he bluffs like 60% or so (i think he will bluff a lot in this spot tho coz its a nobrainer that he ll lose if he checks and even very good plrs dont like to check when they know that they ll lose for good), i just called quickly. His sizing is debadable, i think he should go even smaller than he did making it appear he can vbet a 7, but maybe he feared that getting c/raised possibly as a bluff loses him too much match momentum.

abt gto: i try to play balanced a lot, i am obsessed w balancation in some spots, but obv vs weaker plrs u dont care coz they are letting u exploit em so much, u dont want to be balanced vs em coz u lose ur edge. Vs Insyder who is an excellent plr, i want to be as balanced as i can and i will certainly never take too shady of plays vs him. One can see that on my JT hand where i hit a str8 on AQxss with flush coming there. I love my c/c, c/c 2x.
Its totally just for balancation. I have also Js, which makes his flushes less likely+ i have a redraw. Now: if i bet, i get his 1pair hands w no potential to fold, but if i check, he might start turning KJ or weak Ax into a bluff for sure. He doesnt mention it, i think he tries to hide his tought process a bit, maybe.. anyway: on R i have to snap ofc.

Sad i run into 2 big coolers which cost me a lot, but what can u do, thats poker. I love this game!

@Shade: have to manage few things regarding coachings, then i ll prolly be back to.. black?! ♦

@doctorkgb: sick, i just randomly checked for no of posts and u re the 1st most active behind me and TT, wow, thx for ur support. I think u ll get a prereserved place for the love coaching if u ll have time

@Psderrr: hah, awesome vid! thx for posting. Thats a style i would like to dance one day, ship that BM suit and when i fix my knees and i dont play poker fulltime i swear i ll attend a dancing course for a year and then rock on a dancefloor :). 1 time! I want this so bad, must be an awesome exp. just not sure how many more broken teeth this will bring, but many can tell u this arm and leg air beating stlyle is rly sth i naturally converg to, right? ♦ I totally lost any of my dancing moves i might have had 2y ago or so, too sad.

for anyone i didnt reply to, am rly busy, gtg now already, will do so later hoepfully.

"no matter its a 3bet pot..

no matter i am oop..

no matter they are 2 big stacks..

no matter i dont have any stack and no fold equity..

muhahaha

what are you moderating sir? I dont get it
If it's about coachings, why dont you have the blue coaching avatar?!

Thanks a lot for the big answer, i rly enjoy when read this kinda threads.

I know however, he knows i am a good handreader so he expects me to fold pretty much everythin except for a Ax+. So dynamic wise its for the pot odds a call quite easy i think.

This was the factor which i missed when watching the video and i am pretty agree.

Sparta ftw, lol.

That woould be a great privilege. Thank you.

That hand is a situation where you dont want to be playing multiple tables so you can jump out of your chair and start crotch thrusting in all directions at maximum thrust.
