Oh dear. Well I hope you come back. I'm going to move to BSS eventually. Maybe you should try that? Hope you get laid. ♦
Hi,
Was nice sweating you again. Just hang on and keep studying. It sux that the results are that bad, but you have the roll for it. It was good to see the amount of big fish at the tables => money will come your way!
I think you should play 6 tables or so and pay real attention to your opponents and get a good feeling about stats. That's something that helped me a lot. Try to review your hands while you play. This will help you a lot in developing insight in the situations
And its way more fun to review hands during play, than to dig in your hand histories ![]()
Good that you posted your stats for evaluation.
T.
Hey fellas.
Tampa it was pleasure having you.Thanx for sweating my friend
As it turnes out I only win when you are at my side, otherwise money is not comming my way.
Played 1k hands toniht and menage to lose anoter 10 BI or exactley 104$.
All in all I can say that I didnt played bad.
TBH i really dont know how I played, its hard to say that you are playing solid when constantly losing money.
Again lost almost every coinflip, faced highert pair with my AK,JJ,QQ,KK.MY AA got cracked 2x, and lost couple blind battles on strange way.
Something is just doesnt seem right here.
Here are couple of hands :

I also lost quite some on bad play due tilt and bad deisions.
Am thinking to take a break from poker for some time and later reconsider if I still want to pursue with SSS campaign or switch to something bit less stresfull and tiredsome.
Oh here is a graph :

Good night to all

LEAKS, LEAKS, LEAKS
After reviewing yesterdays session I succeed in finding 2 leaks in my game, where allowed myself to lose all of my money.
1. WAAAY TOO MUCH MONEY AVERSE
As you may know at the moment I dont have any other incomes besides of poker and now when I moved to higher limits, those losess looks twice bigger than on nl25, and I look way to often at progress bar of HEM, so in result of those I start to tilt very early in session if things dont go my way.
And we all know what that brings (poor game, bad decisions,lousy callse etc...nothing good)
2. LOOSING TOO MUCH ON BLIND BATTLES
In yesterdays session I lost 4 or 5 BI on this one.
And only one was justified : showing 99 vs loose steal of KJ form B.
The rest was crap!
I 4 beted AI with KQs against A9, and A4 for blinds.
Went AI with 77 and 66 to re steal.
And am complaining about bad beats - lol.
I also have to tighten up my steal ranges since I sometimes thing they are gone wild.
All in all I have a loads to work to do, before I can say that SSS sucks and Pokerstars sucks with thier random generators.
I ve decided to take a brake of poker for few days, and dedicate to other things in my life, which I put on side for poker.
Am gonna send few more job aplications and when I come back I think am gonna read all articles about SSS and go to nl25 6 table .
See you soon ...
Hey,
Well this actually sounds very good ![]()
Take the time to spot leaks and make sure you dont make those mistakes anymore.
The higher you play the less mistakes the regs make.
So be sure you do the same ![]()
Hand 1:
Why do you iso raise that small?
Most UTG's will l/c very often so make it at least $2.5 for pure value.
Remember we dont iso raise UTG's with weak hands like A7s? (unless they l/f a lot or l/c f2cbet a lot)
Hand 2:
Easy resteal nh.
Hand 3:
std nh
Hand 4:
CBet $2.5 for value and protection
So look for some value maximizing spots imo.
Have a nice break and see you on Skype. ![]()
T.
Hey Tampa!
Thx for evaluation.
My period without poker is getting great, I ve been enthusiastic about game again, and devote some of my time to other things in life.
Yesterday I played nl50 BSS FR on bet365 account(cant withdraw my money from there, so there is no BR managment,which makes game nice to play).
I think I might try to play BSS on NL100 there ![]()
And had sweatting with rorllsah and jbpatzer.
I hope you will catch some time to join us sometimes( next Thursday on 10 pm)
Now lets go to hands :
Hand 1 :
I usually bet 4BB there(3bb + 1per limper), but it was obvious missclick.
TBH I didnt consider that to be ISO raise, it was more value raising for value.
I only do ISO raises from Mp3 onwards, maybe another possible bug in my interpretation of the game?
Hand 4:
This time I did it intentionally.
It was tilt play and scared money( "I probably have the best hand, so I wont bet much, not to scare him away").
As I stated above, I played some BSS FR this days and its the most boring game of poker I can imagine.
Dont really see myself waitign for countless hours to get good hand and for decent action.
But I saw jb playing BSS SH yesterday and was really amazed.
Its was dynamic, fun and profitable as well.
So am leaning towards trying that one.
Already downloaded cardrunners series: Crushing the micros, rorllsh sent me The poker blueprint book,which is nice reading so far.
For now I will play SSS, so I can clear some bonuses on PS and hopefully hit a good run, to get back some of my losses, but will study and dig a finger in to the world of BSS and see how it goes.
See ya
Damn, this is just not going to stop soon!
Since I fall to 50BI on nl50, I decided to try to grind at nl25 to gain some more confidence in my game .
Played it pretty well, except maybe 3 or 4 mistakes, which cost me 7$,but I cannot see the end of this HUUUUUGE stream of bad luck that is following me for last 15k hands or so.
Again my EV line is at 11$ and actuall winnings -13!
Am not really desperade, or am I ?
Just would like to know, what the fuck is going on here????
THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!!
I regret to inform you but I think I'm going to switch to BSS SH more rapidly than I expected.
Why?
Having 12-15 tables open, waiting to get some playable cards, shove it AI and than have a coin flip or be outdrawn isn't really a thing I'm gonna continue.
It was fun for sometime but after watching jb play BSS SH, I'm totally in for that game...
I already read Easy Game Vol I. Tomorrow I'll start with Poker Blueprint, Veneer's uNL Guide and Crushing The Micros Vids...
BTW: havent seen you on skype lately??? Did you watch the game last night???
Why you reget to inform me?
You should be lucky man!
I am lucky for you and you should be too!
You are aiming for advanced poker concept and real play, thats awesome.
I am almost half way thru Poker Blueprint and its really great read.
Also those videos you mentioned are great.Watched first one and half of second.
THey have some really nice concepts and learning those will skyrocket your game.
I will play 5k hands SSS, till I collect that stellar, and gain enough VPP to buy 50$ instant cash and than I will see how it will goes.
I just hope my luck will serve me better this time!
Later probably, switch to full tilt or even beter on bet365, where I have 40% rb and play BSS SH and SSS on stars.
They have enough tables there for SH BSS(planing to start with one nad move up,so for start is more than enough).
We have a lot to learn and sweating will be much more fun I guess.
Havent been on my computer lately, running around, hang out with that girl I told ya and some old friends.
Its been interesting this days.
Bosnia : Albania...ugh ![]()
Watched online on some arabian/iranian streaming and was bit dissapointed at the end.
Out goalkeeper did amazing job by placing a wall in front of him, so he could see the ball :).
As my cousin stated : " pa golman druge kantonalne lige bolje postavi živi zid", guess hes right .
Anyway. am gonna play some now and there is MTT on stars for gold section 30k$, maybe I can get some of it.
Will be online till the end of tournament and probably go get drunk by myself and sarge some.
See ya
Hello friends!
played another session at nl50 pokerstars.
Played almost 3h and after 1k hands suffered -5bi again.
here is graph :
And overall graph on nl50:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I promised myself after this session that this is my last session on pokerstars ever and that I will never ever play SSS again!
I canot afford to myself to feel this way anymore
I finally give up on this.
I feel like shit atm.
If I had a gun and guts to shot myself I would probably do it.
Cant belive how much missery and shity sense of worth this poker can produce.
Kinda feel sorry for myself, couse I invested a lot of my time and energy into it and really looked forward to beat this nl50,but guess I dont have what it takes to be sucessfull poker player.
It took a hell out of me and I just feel I wana cry.
Its not couse money I lost its more of that feeling when you know you did your best and still didint succeed and the harder I tried the lower I fall.
Ok Sin, enough of drama shit .
I would like to thank you all for encourigment, support and help.
I wish you all good luck and all the best.
Best regards
Asmir

Is that meant to make him feel better? Blimey Boris!
However, I think we have now established that BSS > SSS in just about every way (sorry Gerv!). Sweat tonight?
Hi,
That is a serious bad run over there. BUT there got to be tilt as wel. I'd say from 13k hands or so. You started good imo. But yeah thats SSS, variance is awfully cruel...
T.
HI Tampa, guess you are right!
It was tilt more than not, but I had some awfuly bad beats which I cannot forget.
Yesterday I lost 4x with KK against all sorts of weaker hand.
The one with 60$ pot still hurts.
After I watched a session review I saw I made all kinds of silly mistakes as well so I have a lot to do with it.
IT hit me right at the moment when I switched to nl50 and imo thats what couse me most pain.
Anyway I tihnk its the best to take a brake from SSS and invest my time into developing my BSS skills and more complex of understanding the game.
Hello Guys!
I am happy to wtire down, that I back to bloging, and back ( actually never really stopped playin) to poker world.
Before I continue I would like to apologise to all whom I was bitching about my downswings and bad beats that occured a month or so ago.
Yeah it was hard, maybe it wasnt fair, but thats poker, and after some time it clicks in my mind, that I must accept it or stop playin -forever( gee, that would hurt).
I made promise to myself, that I am done with bitching and whining to people, couse the best thing that I can get from it is their sympathy ,which I dont want in first place.
So the plan is to make myself even more tilt prone, improve my game, my mindsets, enoy bloging and playin pokah.
Will come back today with new set of updates and goals.
Cheers
p.s
Making this post made my day bit beeter ♠_evil:
I SSSed almost half year, and I never had winnings close to ev, was always unlucky and i got tired of sss, then i moved bss, and had almost same ev line as winnings for like 2months, but then it changed back as ur nl50 graph, just mine is ev +400, winning +250...but alltogether, BSS should have less variance, at least if you can make good folds.. start BSS imo..oh yea, i just got like 2months ago 100$ bonus on an old FT account, i said lets send 100$ and clear it with sss, one session. -15BI below EV, i said, thats ok, i dont need that 100$, it gonna cost me like 300$ to clear it :))
Haha I can feel you OZSA!
My primary grinding style is still SSS,but am learning and playing some BSS SH!
I find it way more fun and dnyamic than FR, which I can hardly play btw.
As neoRio once told SSS= devil and I have to agree with it due to high variance thats goin on there, as you already stated.
I feel that goin BSS is right way, but its somehow hard for me to totally drop this palying style and just do the switch.
It feels kinda scary or smth, but am sure it has to be done sometime soon.
Cheers
sss is devil, variance is sick, but dont get surprised if you lose at BSS several times in row, its quite standard...btw, pretty funny, yesterday i had one of the sickest session of my life...lost 3 flopstr8, 3nut flopset, 3x ak/aq/aj ok ak/aq/aj flop. and still i was plus in the end...just so sick.. and this was bss, so no loss below 80bb
