what software do you use for preflop? enjoyed the video

@Cory vision does it on blanks too. e.g. KK7s bet/raise/call turn 3o it leads 33% 22% of the time. hurts IPs semi bluffs (and not so much the polar bluffs?) but might be also due the fact that ips reaction is limited to shove or call vs the turn probe. no idea :)

good flush draw weak flush draw probably

Im quite surprised oop gets to river lead big quite often. With two pair "not a thing". Fine though, if IP doesnt bluff enough?

More of those please :)

In the flop sim for Kk7dd did you allow oop to lead turn (small) after facing flop raise on blanks? I believe vision does that. Thought on that?

"And often take ages to reply" - confirmed! :P

30 min a day sounds like a hihh target. Might do sth similar soon too. Though atm I spend a lot of times in the tram/subway and there it feels like there isnt much else to do lol.

cool video, ty :) is sb co KKT5kss a fold min 14:15? Not familiar about GGrake/Preflop so just wondering.

Is there a strategic advtg. to play on bet kings vs ggpoker in terms of promotions, rakeback etc?

min 17:25 you have turn bet after xr 50% and 75% pot. Vision uses in these spots 33% and pot. Do you prefer 50% for the extra FE and Value or are there other reasons?

75% is used as well in 3b pots for turn barrels for oop. Are those spots comparable? I believe the "standard" in HSHU is pot as a size on the turn in 3b pots for barreling.

Hi Cory, thank you for the video! Where do you get the bu call 3bet = 80,8% from? In vision it is 86.9% for PLO600+ and 84.1% for plo 400-600. Is your sim/source more accurate and why? :)

Hi Cyd, the hardest thing in a downswing is to not play poker. If I were you I would study a lot and then decide to come back later, it just has more ev. Easier said then done, but that would show some real good mindset, stepping away from the need to have income now (which you/we need), but trusting your future self to do better with an improved knowledge of the game.

Hey Cd9k, great read and insights! Who is Davy? Probably someone I should know, but I dont haha. Did you play him in NL huhu?

I saw you making some "disrespectful/creative" 3bets when you played plo vs (forgot his name, but the only guy from australia who plays HSplohuhu) X @5k. Was it tilt or actually you trying to exploit nodes in 3bet pots?

Maybe your best post so far. Enjoyed reading it quite a bit :)

Good read as usual. What do you do on your days off?

Hey, kinda sucks that there is so little feedback these days for journals. I also play in Europe though a different game, but if you are up for some accountability for planning and executing studying (and me too) mb it would be a good idea to do so via discord? If interested send me a pm. Enjoy 2024 :)

Hey, Id suggest to play the game/Format you enjoy the most and specialize in that. Enjoy your journey :)

Didnt fully finish reading but loved the first post. I can relate to it quite a bit this year :).

Haha thr 1) about Linus reminded me of: Chuck Norris once won a Pokertournament - with Pokemoncards ;)).

that looks even better :) seems like bad run in terms of $ but unless you beat 1k and got beat by 5k players (and even if so, they are experts at huhu) I dont understand why you are upset. you did absurdley well for not having a huhu background.

Okay if someone is overly self critical I can see that.
Your graph doesnt even look bad haha, but maybe if filtered by stakes. Looks actually pretty good if huhu is not your expertise.

Apart from when Im sick or sth urgent nonpoker related happened, I think I tend to study the least when Im running too good over a decent sample (and not being aware of sunrun).
Not sure about the "self critical" aspect. I highly doubt someone can reach the top, without being self critical. Also curious on how this item got assessed/measured.

Also who is not self critical? Lol
Good post though and good luck on getting back on track!

could you share where to find stefans blog? would be interested in reading it too

Hi Demo, not saying this is the case for you, as you evidently beat the games you play and are quite transparent about your pokergame and yourself, but I disagree that people should buy 5 or 10hours of coaching instead of 1 to try it out. There are just too many shitcoaches around and I highly recommend to try out one hour before committing to much money. Im sure I ran bad with my coachings choices, but in retrospective the coaches where insanely overpriced, a lot of them probably not even winning players and tbh those coachings were just a shit show, without real interest in improving the student.

So I strongly encouarage to get in touch with the coach and talk with him how he wants to imrpove you as a player and try out 1 session before doing anything else.

How do you personally deal with making people better at poker? Does the thought of improving someone to a level that he competes with you at your stakes bother you? Or do you just hand out everything you know as they pay for it and you know yourself that you still can improve a lot your game and it s all about work ethic at the end? Hope this doesnt come through as criticism, If I were a NL player I would book sessions from you :) but curious anyway about these points.

havent played a lot on GG, which might be a mistake, but the rake/100 is quite high isnt it? also I heard regs dont get rakeback/or at least way less?
Where did you get the data from? :)

What stakes are those? Seems like you dont have problem getting in a reasonable volume. Problem with huhu is, that regs will not play you very quickly, unlike in 6 max where they are "forced" to play with you.

Looking forward to your videos :)

Hey man, Im no therapist so cannot really comment on everything, but you sure arent a failure. You just are going through rough times the last couple of years and at the same time you question where you are and where you should be headding. If you have access to Psychotherapy maybe give it a try.

Poker will not be your answer to happiness. So only go on if you enjoy it as a Hobby, but I dont think it will "solve" you anything.

Anyway. As this is a poker Blog, tell me, why is it, that you dont make or feel like you dont make much progress. You know the answer, so Im waiting for your reply. Or flip the question and tell me what you need to do to achieve your next goal.

Good luck!

@Neo what is a realistic hand target/month/year for 5k+? No idea how often or consistent these games run. And I read the article^^

Good luck on your journey! What does your Meditation look like?

Hey Cyd, wanted to reply but forgot about it. As you wrote, you joined metagame. May I ask what their profit/sharing system looks like? Do they get a cut from your rakeback? Because it makes absolutely no fucking sense that they keep you pushing to play when you lose conistently atm. What is their interest in you? Are they caring or looking for profit?
Yes, there is variance. Yes, you are imrpoving and you need to keep doing that, but what is the point in playing atm? Take a step back, come back stronger. All the best.

grats on your tournament win! What are your midterm plans? do you keep travelling and playing or do you want to have a base somewhere in a pokerfriendly country? cheers

Sup Cyd, how are things going?
