Balonas

What a sick month so far. How much worse can it get?!

See ya all at the end of April!
Good luck!

Hehe, I started to like the 3bet button alot. I managed to recover some buy ins, so now I am in the green overall but still running like shit. I'll be zooming until the end of the month and hopefully get out of the swamp after all this struggle.
Here are my stats so far:

And the graph so far:

No more updates after this one. The next one will be for sure on 30 April 2016.
Wish you all the best!
Good luck!

Keep up the good work mate and it is fun to 3Bet every hand on the BTN

I expect the 30th update to show a madddddddd upswing. GL

@Jon-PokerVIP TY Jon!

Yes, I am playing very loose right now. I've noticed that I was too passive at the tables so I decided to change the style until the end of the month. So far I have only 5.500 hands from the last 3 days in wich I implemented this style. I am doing mistakes (big ones sometimes) but It feels nice to put alot of presure on the villains and so far they have done more bad things than I did.

I'll post a small update when I reach 10k hands playing like this to show you how it went. (I Hope for green but will see)

GL!

Good news!!! 10.000 hands reached!!!
Here are the stats and graph:

I will continue playing zoom until the end of the month. I hope to play another 10k hands here and evaluate after that.
Good luck all!

Absolute beast mode! You feeling super confident again?

Jon-PokerVIP: Absolute beast mode! You feeling super confident again?

In the last couple of days my confidence started to improve. I still have some acumulated tilt, and I say that because I swear alot after some bad rundowns no matter how big the pot is. The software is my enemy in those moments, I have no poblems with the opponents wich is somehow ok. Short story: "This month was brutal at the tables"

GL!

I have to post this one, to have a written objective. I must play at least another 10k hands until the end of the month. I really doubt that it can get worse than it is so far.

GOGOGOGOGO!!!!

Huh, 10k hands aren't enough to keep my silver status on STARS. I must grind another 5k hands today.

Good luck all!

Come on Balonas, smash that target. Month looks to me like its going well? Don't understand why you seem annoyed at it? You are running bad but the lines all go up so that looks kick ass!

Yeah

@thetallpaul , I managed to hit my target and reached silver status on STARS again, wich is nice.

April Report!!!
Well, I played some poker again this month but the results are still unsatifying. I started the month with Zoom 6max on Stars and run bad at it. After that I played at the regular SH tables from Betfair, and went bad there too. After this episode, I went back to Zoom 6max on Stars and played around 10k hands like a maniac and surprisingly I managed to recover the looses from the start of the month when I played there.

I finished the month at regular FR tables on Stars and I think that I'll stick to them in May.
Here are my stats and graph for April:

My bankroll on Stars is now around $230, so, in May I'll try to beat the mother fu..er NL5 limit.

May Objectives:
1) play NL5 FR standard tables.
2) play 80.000 hands until the end of the month.
3) play a TAG style as much as possible.
4) abuse of auto-profit spots as much as possible, especially preflop.
5) don't call so much versus 3bets preflop.
6) don't get carried away with AA and KK postflop.
7) no stop loss and no limit regarding the number of tables opened.

May has to be a step forward in my poker career.

I'll try to update the blog every time I reach 10k hands.
Good luck all!

nice month

I just played the first 4k hands at NL5 and it went pretty well. Will see how much it will last this way.
Here are the stats and graph so far:

And this is one hand in wich I didn't know wha to do on the river. I just saw 99 in villains hand and decided to old the river.

Next update will be probably tomorrow after reaching 10k hands at NL5.

Worst session ever... lost 10 buy ins just like that. It was fucking unbelievable.
Here is the graph so far from NL5:

I can't believe what just happened. Set up after set up that eventually ended up in tilt ... end of story.
I am so dissapointed right now. I have to start it all over again.
One thing is sure: I am going to play alot nittier.
Good luck all!

You can almost see it in that graph. First drop run bad. Flatter bit getting back under control, then a drop about 9k hands flipping your tilt switch in followed by the tilt bombing up to about 10750. Good job getting yourself back together though. My guess is tilt cost you about 4 BI of the 10.

Or I could be doing that human thing of seeing narative in unconnected data and the whole session was spinning around all over the shop. Good luck dude either way. You can smash NL5 to pieces. 100%. And without being extra nitty too.

Playing a lot nittier will not help you when it comes to coolers - they will happen either way.

You seem like a crusher to me so I would say to play the way you always have as it's proven. Just put this bad session behind you.

Thank you for the comments guys!

Really helpful for me this time. I'll play my standard game as usual and maybe it will bring me some green until the end of the month.
I'll try not to watch the cashier a week or so, because I've noticed that it influences my game in a bad way.
Good luck all!
Next update will be after I reach 30k hand

you played 14k hands in two days ???

He's a machine. Thats my entire months volume.

I played that much because I won't be able to play the next few days. Anyway, 80k hands until the end of the month is the target.
Good luck all!
