Time to quit :-(

Today is a bad day. I had a short session on FT (good play, but my cbets were running in hands), the server was off a few minutes before this so there were just a few tables..., I decided to play on PS a little. Another bad decision... Longer session, not a bad play either but man…  I’m on the worst side of Fortuna’s ‘dick’ again. Or I’m just an idiot…

Let's see a couple of huge loosing hands from this session!

1. I know nothing about him (only 7 hands)

 

Do I need to check back the very draw heavy turn and call a reasonable river bet? Do I need to put more jacks and KQ in his range here?

2. KK vs AA pre ai... no need to talk about it

3. Villain is the target. I had only 14 hands on him at that moment (57/7) but I already saw some crazy plays from him. Later he went up to 81/14 so no question he is a fish.

Just a hand before this we both have AJ, we didn’t hit the K high board but he called my double barrels from oop with one over then we both checked the river and split the pot.

He wasn't agro ‘till this so his ch/minraise was a little bit scary to me. I think I missed a shove here but this move was so unexpected from him, I wanted a cheap SD and see what is that means.

Flag Group, goals, plans...

Okay, so we had our first group coaching session. That was awesome I think.

I still have a lot of work on my aggression and post flop play overall: double barrels, third barrels, raises, cbets etc…

Pre: 3bets/4bets more in the right situations (BTN vs CO, BB vs SB), bluff more to balancing my numbers.

I’ve played a little since the group session. Really not that much, 6k hands or so… But I won so I’ll pay for the coaching :-)

BR plan

Steve has a BR-plan which looks very fair for me. If I want to take a shot at NL50, then the required minimum BR is $2k.

I just made a nice cash out and cut half my BR yesterday. My new bankroll is far from that $2k point. And I need average $750 (sometime just $500, sometimes $1k) cash monthly, so that’ll be a hard mission, but not an impossible one. But these cash outs will save my ass: I’m not going to play at NL50 ‘till I’m not ready for it!

With a nice amount of rakeback and a little bonus I can have an okay size of payment when I’m breakeven. But, to hit that $2k I need to be a winner. And that’s my main goal now. I don’t want to be a just a breakeven guy. That couldn’t be a target. My aim is 4-5 BB/100 at least. We’ll see how far I can go.

Daily routine

I’m a full time poker player now (which is weird at NL25 and with my knowledge) and I need to learn how to organize my days better because I’m not playing too much at the moment, I’m always running out of my time, and this is not good…

Bonuses

I’m not running for bonuses anymore, playing max 4 tables (if I feel good myself I can play max 6) or less, all depends on me and my circumstances. Playing better is the goal, not loosing just to hit those bonuses.

Actual BR

- FT: 868,47

Happy post :-)

New month has started! July was a rollercoaster with a horrific start and a massive climbing in the end. Still minus (without rake back) but not as bad as it looked like after the first 2 weeks. Just as my private life… I can say that we are in much better shape and can handle our lost now.
Anyway, I’m in Steve’s new coaching group with 4 other lucky guys! Very excited honestly! In the past couple of months this is one of the best things that happen with me.

This is a profit sharing coaching group so I think Steve will be happy with my start at this time… Just as me actually :-)))

Am I running good? :-)
