I have 2600 Dollar BR too and play NL25/NL50 Mix. Perhaps we can motivate Each other? Good luck and marry christmas!

Big Bluff: Just 3plebarrel here imo if you want to bluff. After your Checkback flop with Flushdraw i do not expect them to fold a FH very often.
Tricky Spot: Yeah its a clear bet on Turn. Call River is okay as played.

Well done Coach!!!

Playing good and running good. But still only NL50. Doing a lot of Drills with Anki Cards too combined with solving the spots and identify my own heuristics. Running hot Have some problems with my right hand. Have problems to write with the keyboard. Beside of this its not that disturbing. Thats the main reason why these posts are so short. Hopefully it will get better soon.

All the luck guys!

Think you have way too much SD Value here to bluff. Would just check Turn behind.

Month so far ( I have won around 100 Dollar less (both NL25 and on my laptop).

Yesterday and today i played a bit. Not the volume I was targeting though. Bit unlucky in some spots like hitting flush on River when Villain completes Fullhouse (worst card in deck). But he was fish and i lost only half a pot on river. Even a raise would have been legit i guess. So good here but too passive in general.

At the end i got a stack from a weak player: standard allin situation though AK against KK.

BR is over 4k now. Tomorrow I will play the first real NL100 Zoom Session.

Have fun guys. CU

Have fun guys.

Good first Day starting the blog. Short 1tabling Zoom Session. Pulled the trigger when necessary.

Good luck man :-)

Hi Henry. Overall stats would be interesting. Cheers and good luck.

Hi guys. After a looooong break I will continue this blog for motivational reasons.

I joined Poker Detox End of September last year and got to Nl100 end of November - at least for a almost fulltime worker i was proud of this achievement. I reduced my workload to 30hours each week with one free day that i wanted to dedicate to poker entirely. From the beginning of September 2021 i will work fulltime again (39 hours a weak). Goal is come close to Nl200 in Summer and at least to be good rolled for Nl100 with my Bankroll after the PD adventure.

Right now I still have a bankroll high enough for NL100 but after a long breakeven stretch I did not feel like a Crusher anymore and even played a bit of NL25 since I crushed that. So in summary the last months were not good: low volume and bad results. So hopefully this blog will help a bit. Next to discussing hands with the great PD community I will do a bit GTO Training each day I am doing Poker Stuff.

Trying not to focus on results and will just check them 2 times a month when I have to do my reporting to Poker Detox. I will share my results and some interesting hands here.

So goals are:
Playing a Mix of NL50/NL100 (Nl100 when I am feeling great) and no NL25 XD
Focussing on plays not on results
Volume
Volume
Volume
* I know that goal have to be measurable so will think about a hand count that is possible with work, having my little boy every second weekend and having a new relationship.

GL at the tables XD

All the best Patrick. You have transformed me from being a NL10 breakeven player at best to a NL100 player with contract at Poker Detox. You are an incredible good poker coach.

Hi Yungda. Dreams are important. Set high goals to reach them. But please do not set the longterm goal of volume at Zoom. 20k hands per month are enough. Reading recommendation: Mobius Blog here. Good luck for your journey.

Thats a lot of green ;-) Gratz Man !

Update? You promised a Daily update :-)

Be also aware of that against fish you have to calldown insanely light. Especially on lowcard boards.

Good Luck for your journey!

What a great post. In fact even the biggest callingstations fold to much against Multiple barrels. Makes Sense if you Think about their Range they arrive at the Turn if they call everything on Flop.

Sorry but I do not want to make this public. All the best for you.

15 BB with rake obviously

Hi all. This will be my last post in this blog and I will start a new blog: Goal: Leaving Microstakes this year.

I guess i reached my Goal of stopping playing very anxious at the tables.

Example from my first session on NL50. Was not able to load it up to weaktight...
Was against fish but obvious will get a lot of calls on river.

The last days I focused to be more aggressive preflop in the right spots and I guess it works out fine since most opponents play poorly against it.

I managed to beat NL25 in just over 20k Hands at GGpoker. The graph is without Rake so I actually won 1100 Dollar (300 Dollar Jackpot and 140 Dollar Deposit Bonus and some Dollars Fish Buffet Rakeback). As you will already figured out reading this it is massive rake here on the site. After I have completed the 600 Dollar Deposit Bonus I will ask myself if its worth it.

Since I am pretty busy in the moment in my job i was not able to play that much. I really gave everthing I had and right now I am pretty tired and really in need of some holiday or days off at least from normal job. I am also planning to reduce my working hours (perhaps in September if possible). Then I will decide if I try to enter PokerDetox. I really absorbed everthing i was able to get from their methology and of course there is still most stuff unknown cause of not being a member yet.

My bankroll is around 2.800 Dollar now and I am try to do at least one session of NL50 every day.
I am not studying a lot at the moment. Only watching Videos- but really trying to implement it at the tables. Meditation is also an area i should get involved more since i am oftern really nervous and the lack of good sleep is really terrible often times.

Perhaps I will do another challenge to review every 10bb+ Pot at least after every session this month. If this turns out to be too demanding I will analyse 15bb+ Pots.

Thx a lot to my coach: without your help I would perhaps still be grinding NL5 SNAP and be afraid of NL10 SNAP. You are the best.

Winrate has been in fact 15/bb without Rake:

GL of course also from me :-)

Daily update? Not a lot of activity in this forum...

Hello Poker Community,

my challenge hasn´t been successful since I am only played roughly 21k Hands from End of March until end of April. I donated 90,00 EUR to Unicef and 50,00 EUR to the local church community for the partnership with republic of Kongo. So 10,00 EUR missing - will do this this Weekend.

Month April was not good in monetary means and i had some physical issues with my back and neck. These factors made it mentally and physical difficult to Play many Hours of Poker.

Results:

As you see: my redline Drops quit severly. Especially on NL20 EUR tables this was extrem and my good NL10 EUR results (even with dropping redline) were "eaten up" by results on the higher stake. The last Hands are not complete since Guts did not provide the Hand histories of the anonymous tables for the last days (good Winnings on NL10 EUR).

At the beginning of this month Guts shut down and I moved to GGPoker after playing some Hands at 888 Poker. Since the traffic has been quit bad on 888 Poker and rakeback is almost non existent at the beginning of the last week I cashed in at GG Poker (400 Dollars) and I received a Bonus of 600 Dollar. Even on NL25 which is my main Limit now it is possible to clear it- at least a big chunk of it. At the beginning my Impression was not very good. You find many functions/Gimmicks here that easily could distract you from playing well (Allin Insurance, all Kinds of smilies that Players use, Straddle (some Players straddle every Hand).

But rakeback is great and Player pool is quit decent.

Results were awsome the last days:

The results of GGpoker are without rake, so I actually won less in game.
But: yesterday I won 310 Dollar in the Big Hand Jackpot and was sitting with almost 14 Stacks at the table :-) . I thought i have to get to Showdown what is not correct I think so I only called the minbet with my Royal Flush :-)

I haven´t read the rules of it and expected one stack since my Coach also won just a stack in this Jackpot (and checked the nuts on river). So I have adjusted the rakeback and the graph with rakeback and boni to Show my real Winnings.

My Bankroll is Ready for NL50 but I want to Play 15k Hands at least on Nl25. I know this is a hugh upswing and I really want to get in some volume here.

Good Luck at the tables.

P.S. I adjusted my goals for the year in the initial post.

Wow. Gratz Man!!!

Open around 40 Percent from Button and 50 Percent from SB for the beginning. Thats still tight 😄 Playing supernitty UTG and MP is okay.

Thats a lot of emails. I would be careful not to achieve the opposite you want to accomplish...

Hi community,

have bought a new TV (Philips Ambilight 55OLED804 139 cm (55 Zoll) Oled TV (4K UHD) and I try to pay the five installments with poker money. So I cashout 320 Dollar to the Creditcard to pay the first one. This was my monthly winning. Few months ago I would have been very happy about this, now I am content but want more. Have played only 19k Hands and still a lot of NL5 during the first 2 weeks of the month. Last 10 Days were almost breakeven.

Still cannot let SNAP NL10 go. Run a little bad there this year, winning 2 BB/H (5BB/EV-wise).
Of course I know that this is not the most profitable games to play in but it has more of an old bill with these games. So I will continue playing there and using it as a warm up. I will move up to NL20 EUR at Microgaming the next days (most likely at weekend where games are softer and i have lots of time). Need to put in a lot of volume to reach the volume goal of 40k. Have played only 7k since the start so need 33k next month. Will have to restart scheduling my days I guess. Also I have to tune up my aggression again, the slightly dropping redline is no coincidence. I have tightened up preflop without reasoning and miss some good overbet bluff spots river and get angry with me when I see villains hand that he would have folded ;-)

Good luck at the tables and stay healthy.

Cheers Sebastian

EV Dollars are Baby Dollars :-)
