There isn't much to talk about honestly. Played under 5k ring game hands, finished w half bi profit.
Mostly I played MTTs, didn't booked big ITM places, but i had a good time and this break was good after so many cg months and finally I know whats the best way to spend FTPs.

I will play this month on FT just as many hands wich is requiered to keep iron man streak alive, in the meantime i'll try to play as many PS hands i can to release a big amount from my first depo bonus.

Cheers,

Hey,

now that the miniFtops has ended i'm back to the ring tables.
I did managed to qualify for 9/8 event, reached just 1 ITM, nothing fancy. In general the tourney's weren't too kind for me, but i had my fun occasionally so won't complain. Variance is everywhere and it's much harder to swallow a beat after 3-4 hours of play. I plan to play in the big weekend mtts occasionally but i will watch mtt cr vids before that.

so back to the grind, i feel myself completly fresh and energized, hope to book a nice profit in the last days of March.

This month so far is one of the laziest ever in terms of playin CG. I don't know what is going on with me but i'm just not in the mood of playin cash games right now. I've been thinking a lot about this because the Iron Man promotion is really forcing me to put in hours/day to get the bonuse but sometimes 'cause of this force i had to play longer sessions than i wanted and that force made me play badly occasionally. The section about Quitting in "The elements of poker" made me to make some changes in my habbits in terms of playing long sessions. Actually I think about poker more than ever before but not in the theory sense but more at the mental and psychlogical side.

I gathered many FTPs in the last years and read everywhere that the only possible way to spend points w/o getting cuts from my rakeback is to spend on tournaments. I've started to chase entries for the big MTTs at the weekends, and now I'm chasing miniFTOPS entries. In this hunt i watched my rake dive into minus... so the bottom line is:

Hi folks,

there is a great party going on on PS till the 21th of February. They celebrate the 40.000.000.000 hand and every million nearing the 40M is a milestone where cg players can earn some extra. Check it out if you haven't already done it. On this promotion page at the very bottom there is something worth mentioning. You can purchase 40$ for 2.500 FPP which is the best $/FPP rate avaible (as good as the 4000$ for 250k FPP at SN level), so if You have free 2.5k FPP to spend it's a nobrainer.

Today is coaching day. We will focus today on big pots i've played recently and hope to plug some leaks in my thought process. I finally starting to feel that i have some grip over the action now I find it's time to get rid over the silly pushes i make if my made hands get outdrawed time to time.

Sadly this month will only be gold at best at FT because i was very lazy at the beginning of February. This is a setback compared to the two previous months. At PS i've cleared 15% of my first depo bonus and two level of the stellar bonus. Definetly looking for more.

If i'm in the mood i'll try to win entry for weekends big MTTs through sattelites, besides the two big freerolls i can play through my rake affiliate...
So im busy, busy these days...

I have mixed feelings about the first month of the year...
First of all what really satisfies me is the amount i've played. Topped again my best by almost 10k. I consider 40k hands pretty impressive for a guy with a full-time job. TBH i think I'm somewhat close to the peak with that effort.
What makes me kind of sad is the play I showed. Committed many avoidable mistakes, maybe was on semi-tilt too...
The month ended up in the green again (btw it's 14month in a row now) but I consider january as a breakeven month with only 2bi-s profit which is ridiculous.

I've read about that many grinders try to avoid keeping track of their BR while grinding tons of hands keeping their focus on the game.
Today i've decieded that I wont look into my BR this week. I never look at it in a session so why don't take it further. If I can keep my eyes off this week, I'll try to nail a full month in February.
This should be fun.

I thought a lot about this month so far mainly because i'm don't doing so well. I had to realize that there is no need to blaim luck if I play like a retard. Don't know how things turned this wrong this month. I make mistakes I never maid before, get frustrated of playing badly. Yesterday was the 2nd time in a row that i checked my results ending a streak of almost 3 months without looking. New personal "best": -3bi in 70 hands. Obviously tilt. Sad. I have 6 opportunities to clean this mess up. I know i can do it but am i in the real menthal state to pull it off?

January still isn't very kind to me but i'm already even at FT and up 6bi on PS. Already played a good amount of hands and if I can keep the pace t will be a new record of hands played in a month. It's very refreshing to play on a different site if things didn't go well at the old one.
Yesterday I set up TableNinja and wrote an AHK script which will enable me to resize and move my tables if neccessary. Somehow the bet sizes didn't work well with TNFT and i'm still tryin to solve the problem. I need to develop my script and I have great ideas and task to work on. I f i don't find code for my ideas on the internet i'll try to write it myself...

cheers.
