Start off with ur March goals etc

Welcome to march y'all

Goals:

1) Silverstars on Pokerstars. Before the recent changes that would have tkane 7500 hands but now it look more like 6000. this is a MINIMUM goal. Ideally I'd like my reload bonus to be cleared in April.

2) If bankroll reaches $700 (currently $505) take a $200 shot at 1/2.

3) Focus on specific mental goals such as the ability to grind out more or longer sessions and be able to play through harder times

4) Make at least one vid for BBB and maybe another sweat vid should anyone be interested in seeing that.

Bring it on People!!

March goals
- Read this book
- Improve my 4 tabling game (stay cool when there's a lot of action)
- Play way more hands
- Up VPIP
- Move up

FYI Studybuddies, the newest "+EVolution of a Poker Player" Episode 8 is very much applicable to LHE so check it out if u haven't!

March goals

1) Focus on my play

2) At some point take new shots on 1/2, BR must be $700 and I must be ready for another big cooler.

3) Apply better pre-session rutines - and follow them.

4) Take post-session notes on all my sessions.

5) Table select better - and adapt to the table I'm at.

Lets do something fun again with the BI GRO GROUP. I dont know what but anything sounds good to me. I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been online a lot also so I might have neglected you guys

I had my first 1k hands today which is pretty big for me. I hope I can put in a lot more this month. I'm having a bit of stress symptoms before playing though I'll make a post about it in a few days probably.

Also, what do you guys think of the blog? Do you like blogs in general or do you think they suck? How about the layout I have? I found it pretty sweet at first but a bit hideous at this moment...

What, how... Is that possible

IMO the hand was played fine, the 7 is not really a great card as it does hit the straight draws that could check-raise this turn, had been better with a 9,T,J. But none of the FD's came in so calling river is fine I guess - from now on till his broke you'll never fold anything here

And on another front....opinions on this?

You got to cap this flop, I never tried this I think ... Seriously I think it's super nice flop play, when he doesn't raise the turn it's a nice river valuebet, not many 8's in his range - he doesn't have a set - but he does have AJ or AQ here close too 90% ------
or maybe not

Lets do something fun again with the BI GRO GROUP

100% agree...

I think continuing to postflop with our meeting should be great, at least for me, if everyone has time for this ?

As always I'm available most of the time

Another thing could be to get some reviews on the Eurodonk videos, I would like that no pressure, no pressure... Or we could discuss a member / or DC video ?

Also rb2K how does everything turn out with BBB ?

Also, what do you guys think of the blog

I like blogs, it's great to read how fellow players are doing and whats going through their minds.

Yours in particular is fine IMO... I don't really care that much about the layout as long as the content is great. And definitely it's far ahead of my own layout and content fwiw.

Think about it guys!!

You can call me and Isac fish for 2 WHOLE HOURS!!!

Oh and btw

If anyone would like to explain how that hand happened please go ahead...

And yeah blogs are great I like

I'm contemplating a couple of video blogs but I'm not exactly photogenic imo.

Guess it's just Stars - OMG you missed 8BB in that hand, that's sick...

Sorry I have no experience with playing in 45BB 5-way pots when you should be beat probably over 90% of the time but have run out of fingers and toes to count odds .....or at least not a lot of experience, i think my previous BB record was 32 in a split pot on Betfair and 30 in a pot on Crypto where the guy finally believed me when I said I had the nuts and I put in the 26th bet on the turn

OK lets schedule one.

Another thing could be to get some reviews on the Eurodonk videos, I would like that

I would like that but, again, I cannot watch in on VLC for the mac and am basically only at the PC when I play poker. Can the video be converted to another format? My problem is that I don't have audio.

We also had some unfinished discussion here:

http://www.deucescracked.com/forums/22-Member-Videos/15671-Two-sessions-25-5-FR-LHE

but I think it's too long ago to remember all the details

What other format would you like and I'll see what I can do.

Cheers

EDIT: I'm trying to encode it in Quicktime format. Is that better for you when you're on a MAC?
