Remeber to always be true no matter what you do

    Let's start from the poker part. I've played over 50k hands which is great. Playing nl500 zoom really helped. I did there sth about 25k hands, so almost half of this. Then I got blocked ;( They found out after 2 months, that I play from Italy...

   I've started to open nl1k every time I see weak reg or fish not just bumhunting! That's good! 

Thing which I'm really happy about is that few poeple said sth like this: "Oh SOEK you were so right with the GTO! Now I understand"

   The reason that I've never been really into the GTO is that I never understood the purpose of using it. All the time the I heard  "to not get exploit". HOW THE FCK YOU CAN AVOID BEING EXPLOIT IF EVERYONE IS GOING TO ADJUST AFTER ONE SD! If your villain plays perfect GTO it's ok to defend by GTO but if he makes mistakes GTO in not optimal any more.

   There're spots which GTO is really helpful I agree, but most of the time our strategy is really close to GTO anyway. So THANK YOU GramGrubo! It seems that you have to earn 1.000.000 PLN in half year to get respect and became trustful. 

   What now?! Now I'm going to Poland and and try to get visa to USA. My dear fiance has some job option in Miami and we have to go there for 1-2 months. You can follow her on instagram. Funny story about how powerful are social media. In USA the more followers you have the chances, that they choose you from castings, are bigger.

   August is going to be the laziest month in this year for me. I will play some zoom hands but not many. 

On the 6th of August we are going to Stockholm to my aunt. I really want to visit Vasa Museum, already been there but when I was 7 and soo... Then we have friends wedding. Then I'm preparing huge party at my cabin. Then I'm going to Slovenia for the 2nd step of paragliding course! Maybe it's not going to be so lazy month :)

chill out and feel the summer!

I've never been a quitter

We've already gone through the first part of the 2o14, so some poker summary:

Hands: 200k

Hours: 390

Winrate: 4,38bb/100

EV Winrate: 5,1bb/100

Stakes: NL100-NL1k 

I would love to reach 350-400k hands this year. It would be really good year if we take under consideration my traveling. 

I have to work a little more on my mindset. Think bigger to get big. If I will still worry about loosing 3-5k€/session I will never reach nl1k-nl5k as regular stakes.

GramGrubo posted on facebook very smart note about GTO which I can agree with in 100%. So, in a nutshell, you should know what GTO is about to defend vs BEST players. In general you should even avoid GTO to maximize your EV. You can't base your game plan only on GTO there is also: dynamic, history, how he perceives you, what he saw, who seats at the table, who is behind you preflop, nr of players in the pot, what his stats "vs Hero" tell him. These factors are probably much more important then thinking "Oh I can't fold here XX because it's the top of my range". - Love to hear this from you guys ... ;]

P.S Shiet this nl500 zoom level is FCKING ULTRA HARD ; )

I've heard that you have sunny weather in Poland so enjoy:
