apart from deposit restrictions I assume if econmies will be better as a whole people will find more money to deposit. atm in most countries living expenses went up a lot, at least in europe and usa i believe as well.

also if crypto goes up a lot too haha

You are brave Demo, I admire that. Gets me motivated to blog again. Imo your best post so far. So scratch that comment I made a few months ago. This one here it is.
Are you into team sports? Or like crossfit in a group? Are you intersted in a subject and go to uni?
Cheers

Glad you enjoyed the euros in Germany. Portugal is one of my favourite countries in Europe, though the first time in Lisbon I was disappointed, but liked it very much the second time I was there.

even after playing tons of hands variance still blows my mind sometimes. Im quite certain if I ever (or anyone) would have experienced a bottom (or top range?) downswing, we would have quit this game long time ago. good insights on brm, appreciate it.

How is it going with your house? Have you finished all the work around it? How do you like living in "your" house?
Have do you like Inverness? Have you met some locals?

Good luck on your journey! I didnt get what you are going to play now, 6max or hu plo? Graph seems quite brutal, wish you some more luck in poker! (It might come if you stop offending people ;))

Hi Richard, you seem to choose pot and 2.87 as rfi. is 45bb or lower your treshold for sizing down pre? can you play the same preflop range 40bb for 2.87 rfi compared to 3.5 rfi 50bb or is that simplyfying too much? :)

When did you apply for them? I probably will never do that because I m not good at planning ahead so much lol. Jk, will try for the next euros I guess

Do you have tickets for a match at the euros?

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
