Thank you Catonthemat, I hope you can find a way to crush Zoom soon, I added your blog to favorites.
Dont try to think to much about your opponnents hands and what they think when they play. Most of them are like monkeys...you just can´t guess what they think.
Stop overthinking on NL2. I played more than 100k hands on zoom, you will catch that EV line but you just need a lot of volume.
Good luck !Nice blog dude and impressive results! Keep on crushing:f_thumbsup:
Thank you so much lotteri3xx ! Good luck with your grind at NL4 !

Week 2 update :
Hands :12.159
Profit : 53.08 Euro
Spin&Go : 2 Euro
Total profit 55.08 Euro
I´ve already started to play NL5 i have 2BI over 2k hands. But the field here is much harder than NL2, I need to improve alot and fast 
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 120.12 Euro
When I opened the Pokerstars lobby today i´ve seen this :
I know that I said I will stay away from Zoom but this challenge was to easy not to accept the deal 
You just had to play 40 hands and get 9 out of 10 cards you don´t even need to win the hand, any card that was dealt was eligible. 
Even tho I had to play NL10...and that is a bit out of Brm...and even if it was zoom the deal was too good as I said !
Atleast in my mind 
After 427 hands I finished the challenge, 3 times ( you can do it 3 times/day ). I got 1 Euro for the first one, 0.50 Euro for the second one and .... another 1 Euro for the last one.
Never lucky dude 
Spoiler
I dont even know why I want to play NL5, so many fishes playing NL10 and so many NITs at NL5.
Anyway was a nice boost to my Bankroll this challenge I won in 427 hands : 27.24 Euro + 2,5 Euro bonus= 29.74 Euro 
Show me the money !!!
I had the best day today! And to finish my day I changed 100 Starcoins for 1E tournament ticket and played another Spin&Go.
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 161.19 Euro
@Thank you MetalMonkey80.
Yesterday I had the worst day since I started the challenge I lost 13Euro... I was so sad
But is ok I think, I was over EV since the start of this blog so I was expecting this thing to happen.
Anyway today had a great day 
and won back what I lost the other day.
Got another 100 Starcoins today, changed them for 1Euro tournament ticket and again played one Spin&Go, unfortunaly was only a 2x, but I won so +2Euro to my BR.
Since I started the challenge I got 600 Starcoins and played 6 Spin&Go.
Lost 2, Won 3 for 2Euro each and another win for 6x-6Euro = 12Euro for 600 Starcoin. 
Here it is the Spin&Go from today, unfortunaly I didnt w8 to close my cash tables.
And here it is my graph for NL5 :
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 192.63 Euro
Week 3 update :
Hands :11.530
Profit : 76.03 Euro
Spin&Go : 6+4+2+2=14 Euro ( 400 Starcoins:14 Euro not bad )
Bonus: 2,5 Euro + 5 Euro ( Santa got on my table )
Lost 2,5 Euro playing some satellites for 1 event, didnt got the ticket 
Total profit 95 Euro
After I got to 200 Euro I started to mix some NL10 tables. I think I can definitely beat this new limit, I´ve seen fishes here but i need to improve my game.
Only after 3 weeks got from Nl2 to NL10, I know that I run good and got lucky sometimes but I´m very proud of myself
This week I will work more on my game and I will play less hands, try to move on NL10 and stay there.
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 215 Euro
Happy Holidays guys !
I know there are so many OR ranges out there and the best imo :w34z3l's 6max walkthrough
When I started to play cash 6 max I couldn´t find ranges for a long time, now you just need to follow w34z3l guide and you are ready to go.
Anyway I made some ranges for Open Raise :
This will be my default range but of course I will play more tight or more wide once I get some stats on my opponents.
Next step is to make 3bet ranges for every position and cold call.
Happy New Year guys !
I didn´t drink to much last night so I woke up early today eager to start 2017.
I will make 2017 the best year of my life !
I will post some goals this week for this year, poker related and some things that I want to achieve and change in my life.
But let´s start with 2016 The week it´s over and I have to report for Get Rich or Die Tryin' - Bankroll Challenge :
I started good the week but at some point I just got in some really nasty setups postflops and lost a lot of money. Is really strange that I won money only on NL10. But... that year/week is gone, this week i´m gonna study and crush it !
Week 4
Hands : 8551
Profit : -3.29 Euro
Spin&go ( with Starcoins ) : 4 lost | 3 win = + 8 Euro
Bonus from Santa : 13 Euro
Total this week : +16.38 Euro
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 231.38Euro
Goals 2017
Poker goals :
I will set 2 big goals for this year, of course there will be more baby goals between 
Beat NL10
By the end of year 2017 I'm a winner at NL25
Life goals :
By end of year 2017 I will quit my job and return home or move to onother country.
I'll will start going to gym.
Get my driving license.
Start to read again ( not only poker books )
Become a more social person
Enjoy my life !
A month has passed since I started the blog. I started this challenge with 30 Euro now I have in my account 290 Euro !
I have to improve a lot, playing at NL10 is nothing like NL2 where I was crushing my opponents. I´m looking ways to improve my game, especially my postflop play where I think I´m really bad.
I will check every day from now on the Hand discussions for No Limit section and try to be more activ and post there.
Good luck everyone in 2017 ! ♠_drink:
Got my first Royal flush since I started the blog
Week 5
Hands : 7419
Profit : 66 Euro
Bonus: 27 Euro
Total this week : +93 Euro
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 324 Euro
At the start of the week I decided to move all my BR to 888 mostly for the FDP bonus, this will help me a bit to boost my bankroll.
Disadvantage 888:
low trafic
no hud on speed tables ( it seems most of the players play there )
not the best software
Some big sharks from the spanish comunity there that I have to avoid
Advantage 888:
First deposit bonus
plenty of fish
and the bigest advantage: Secret ( I can´t give details right now about this, some sharks from the spanish comunity can hunt me 
)
Have a nice week all ! ♠_drink:
become more social 
GL!
somewhat of a advice consider using first deposit bonus once you move up the limit or two it will be tough to grind it out whole bonus at lower limits
Hi AgapieGheorghe,
I just discovered your blog and I like it very much. I didn't know you had one in English. I also study Weasel's strategy and I find it very interesting. I just started to play with 100bb, too. I can see that your OR range is slightly different from Weasel's and that you don't have ROL.
I'll follow your blog and I hope you'll tell me 888's secret advantage.

I´m an introvert, my natural instincts don’t motivate me to go and socialize with people. However, I still love to spend some time with others and love to have great friends in my life. I don’t like to socialize too much, but also hate to be lonely.
I´m gonna post here if things will change ♦

Hey Dorina wellcome !
When the legislation in Romania changed and Pokerstrategy closed our comunity I moved to the english community. I come to the spanish comunity just to check how things goes for you, Ducu, Vero and to read the thoughts of Vegan on the forum
My spanish is not as good as yours
About the ranges... well my ranges are some kinda of mix from: Weazel, Matthew Janda and Alleen86. But when I´m playing I always adjust my ranges. I think is important to recognise how your table is playing and adjust your game. When I sit at a table in first few orbits I pay attention how my opponents are playing.
The quicker I categorize my opponents. the easier it is to adjust my ranges and take control of the table.
P.S. - 888's secret let me down this week But this may happend because i´m losing all the flips this week. I will keep you posted on the progress and let you know if it´s worth it
Week 6
This is me donating money to all the fishes on 888. I had the worst week ever, I was running under EV every day and as you can imagine I lost even more money because of the tilt and I played way less hands than usually because of the bad run.
Week 6 Report
Hands : 3580
Profit : -104 Euro
Bankroll start : 30 euro
Bankroll update : 220 Euro
I think there is only one way to fix things : STUDY
What will I study this week ?
How to play AA & KK correctly
How to play AK
Queens & Jacks played correctly!
Make no mistake with TT-88!
Small Pocket Pairs - Big Profit!
Suited Connectors - how to play them
Premium suited connectors for the win!
More than Top Pair: Play AT-AQ correctly
A2s to A9s played correctly
How to play big broadway hands
Big suited hands played correctly!
Offsuited Aces played correctly
Strong steal hands played correctly!
Weak steal hands played correctly!
Those are all the videos from KTU showing how to play every hand before and after the flop. Maybe this way I will fix some of my postlop leaks.
This mean I have atleast 4.2 hours of study this week. But this week I will get Silver status here on Pokerstrategy and I really want to watch Soulin92 series Entendiendo el HUD this means another 7 videos from the spanish comunity so + 3.6 hours of study.
Can I study almost 8 hours this week ?
Good luck everyone this week !
I have also started this week by just donating money to people on PokerStars. Then I saw your post about switching to doing more studying, and thought why didn't I do that in the first place 
Thanks for the list of videos. I never know what to search for on the videos list. So far I have done 3 of them and found them very useful.
Best of luck getting out of the slump and I am sure you will manage the studying.
