Make them think and look for mistakes !

HELLO! I've created new popups yesterday to improve my blind game. You know this vs Hero stat etc. Currently I'm losing  -20bb/100 on SB and -40bb/100 on BB. I know that its possible to decrease this numbers to ~15 on SB and ~30 on BB. I've watched some interesting movies and decided to defend much more then before. For example TheNaturat said that he defends 80-90% of the range vs 50% open - SICK!

The bad thing is that I have to move to pokerstars.eu because there is no traffic on NL400-600. You all know this feeling "Oh there are no tables, so I will watch a TV show or grab a beer or both". It can't be like this. I'm trying (trying is the best word here) to be PRO. I can't decide whether to play or not by waiting for table to open....

Today only few hands which I hope will make you comment!

SB 3bet vs CO Hero 17 I really love to look at the stats from single raise pots to create game plan for 3bet pots. Here for ex. he cbets ~64% and cbet/fold 34 on huge sample while playing quite loose 26/22 AFq 42.

I think this is one of the best hand I've ever played in my life. OR 33 / 4bet range 5 / call 3bet 28 / rcbet in 3bet pots 20 ; ) - I lost it of course, but read was amazing.
Do you agree with my play? What are your thoughts and thinking process about these?

ENJOY!

DONT STOP ME NOW

This one I took while sightseeing our new neighborhood.

Finally I decided to totally cut off my mind from a poker results. I looked on my long term graph which looks fucking awesome. I noticed that the biggest swing I've ever had was like ~30BI. So what to worry about? I have 100BI for my basic limit and 50-75BI on NL400-600 BRM so fuck this. I'm capable of not looking into the results for a long time, but when it's going down down down, I just have to check... I can't yell at myself and throw a keyboard after few bad sessions!
Just after I've thought about it, Robmaf created perfect movie about dealing with this problem. I've created my excel file...started to think positive... and BOOM! Five days and I don't know how many BI I've lost, but for sure a lot! ;) Normally I would get crazy, but now I'm feel calm and confident. Also I've started to listen to the pokermindset by Elliot Roe. It makes me relaxed and very focused. We will see for how long ... ;)

My last results check, enjoy the graph for the last time!

PEACE OUT!

Let's get back to the game!

New month only two sessions. 

My mindset after this break is fantastic! I fell like a CEO of a big company. Not sure how to explain it. Something like "I have to go to work, but I'm so fucking sure about my skills that I'm happy to do this". Funny thing is that Italians started to ask me on chat "Hi, are you making a video now?" "Your vids are inspiring keep doing!". I didn't notice if they changed their game  vs me. Maybe they did but I'm not going to think about it :)

Hero ???

This guy is quite specific. He plays 18/15 OR BTN 40 cbet 71/51/45 very small cbet/fold like ~35 and huge cbet/3bet ~30 after 8k hands. Pretty agressive AFq 40. I know that his vbetting range on the river is very strong, and he can't tvbet enough.

With his cbet/3bet and my x/r range flop is pretty stnd. I don't know what he is doing with overpairs and FD on this board so don't want to scary him and shove on the flop. The turn is blank and decided to do sth weird. If he has, a FD I don't want to give him a free card and my line doesnt make any sense ;). Also with my read about his valuebetting range, I'm not sure If he bets TT+ on the turn.

COME ON PEOPLE WAKE UP AND COMMENT! 50 entries every single day and 1 comment? 

QUESTIONS:

1) What do you think about my turn play (line and sizing)?
2) What is your river play?

The most beautiful thing is when you know exactly how to get the most value you can. When you see a barrel happy guy and you know that under representing your hand is the best play. Clicking call on the river feels almost like solving the most mysterious enigma ;]

If the session went wrong try this to chill out:

Do you have some feedback? More photos, more videos, more poker or more life?

Last 10 days were like a hyper turbo tournament.

Hello everyone!

I feel so bad to keep you waiting for such a long time. I had an amazing time in Poland. My friend got married, other one found a job and bought a car, another fell in love and got promotion. Every day I didn't know where I was going to sleep, in the end I spent only one night at home - like a fcking homeless guy :). The feeling I had during my polish trip, was like someone was pumping the adrenaline in my veins. 

The whole dream broke when my Italian landlord said that I have to leave my apartment in 8 days... Finally  some vip manager from pokerstrategy.it helped me to translate an announcement and my gorgeous girlfriend found a quite nice place. I can tell you guys that prices are sick here in Milan. 700-900€ for a studio which looks like this:

I can afford it but come on... in Poland I could get for the same prize sth like this:

 

I can't complain ;) Living in Italy with my girlfriend, doing what I love LEGALLY is sth what I still can't believe in.

I decided to upgrade my clothes and style. Going out with a model call for looking not as a polish country boy. I bought :

And few other things :)

Also I'm thinking about buying a longboard. Having a car or a motorbike is useless here in Milan. I have some addiction to every single sport which is connected with boards ;) This September after my trip to Sweden I'm going to Hel to learn kitesurfing!

Yeah, yeah what about poker. In May I played 16k hands on upswing. Last session I lost like 2k€ QQ<AQ, KK<AK  and AA<77 in 100 hands! Decided that it's a sign to stop this month and relax. Im moving on 1st of June and after that I will start my poker grinding mode.
