First session in the books.
Overall happy with my performance. Tried to play as solid as possible and not to overexploit in spots.
Also gained Rakeback of 33$.
As you guys can see i am starting of with nl50 in the bloq.

Gonna fire later on another sess.


whats ur hourly rn?


Actually don’t know since I haven’t been too professionell.

Played a very short sess today and made another 20$.

Tomorrow I play long sess/ high volume.

My goal for tomorrows sess is to play as theoretical as possible and take my time for each decision.


Yesterdays session was alright.
My focus is primarily on results which is secondary in becoming an excellente poker player.
From now on I will be setting goals based on improvement / discipline and focus.

For today:
- gym full body workout
- 10k steps
- meditate 15 mins
- HH Review
- while playing focusing on activ decision making, no overthinking.
- 4 zoom, break whenever I feel unfocused, no music, simplified strategy
- 4500 hands
- listening to myself (intuitiv decision making)


well, day is over!

i am super happy with my performance goal this day. And figured out quite some mindset leaks i have.
I realized that being a semi-professionel poker player requires lots of discipline and overcoming mindset leaks.

My decision making progress today was good (B+). I made decision based on intuition and didn´t overrazionalize my decisions.

How profesional have i been today? Quite, yes. I took regular breaks. Overcame my emotional obstacles. And continued grinding.
Smashed my hand/Day goal by a lot. 7100/4500hands played today.

Major leaks i realized have been:
- Emotions of injustice when i lose a preflop flip or even AK vs KK/AA
- realized that my mind wandered within a session. I wasn´t fully away of my decision making in the present moment, i fastfoward towards turn/river decisions.
- Low sense of selfesteem, it got personal whenever i faced some BI loses -> this resulted in having a "safe" approach and copying GTO outputs.
- when session got a downer i wanted to cut tables, because of reducing variance. Tilt of not accepting variance.

Main Quote which appeared in my head today came from Magnus Carlsen:
It´s impossible to calculate too many iterations into the future, i play step by step. With this quote i start my day tomorrow.

Goals for tomorrow:
- 7000Hands
- taking a bit more time before i make a decision
- focus on solid poker
- HH review


Actual today is one of the most embarrassing also enlightened moments ever.
Within my session i realized that I am not playing actually the game of poker.

Over the years I just smashed buttons, copied concepts or just listened to my intuition.

Today in my moment of realizing I made a mistake and actually asked myself why did I make this mistake? And the reason has been clear, I wasn’t thinking.

Ofc i was thinking some times about the game. But in game I wasn’t thinking liberally.

The game is so complex that it’s time now to see the whole complexity of the game of poker and improve within.

From now on my goals are simple:
- 2 zoom and thinking about every spot.
- move up the stakes
- print $
