I WANT HIGHSTAKES - Starting at NL25

Good luck with your progress, what is the field like on coinpoker?

Field is pretty good imo, there are some regs but these arent really good. But a lot of punty players
So overall its pretty good but also depends on what time of the day you play. European night time is the best

Thanks for the gl

sick results over 33k hands. I think we are playing on coin vs one another at the moment. Im unfinishedbiz.

GLGL at the tables.

Hey, yes we have played a bit last couple days and today. Thanks and Gl to you too 😀

Hey bro, hmu we can study together����. Gl, its a pleasure battling wt u on nl25. I wanna play nl100 in 4-5 months, I’m already giving some shots on nl50. See u on CP buddy����

Funny how a bunch of HSNL players credit their CFP for their success, but you as a 25nl player have written it off as a scam.

Altho to be fair, I would never recommend a 25nl player to join a CFP. So much material out there that reaching nl200-500 should not be an issue. Any CFP who takes 25nl players is most likely bad

I think he means you should get staking as well for 50% of profits. I agree with banana in the sense that pure CFP for 50% is wildy one sided in favour of the CFP. I have played for stables in the past for mtts and always done a 50/50 deal with makeup.

If your ev is 60-80k/yr and your paying 30-40k for just coaching, while taking on all the risk, its a slippery slope for the player. The CFPs hourly is extremely high with little to no downside if your not playing in the same games as the coaches your really not taking much ev away from them directly.

Bananaplay69 "For a long time i was thinking about looking for a Staking + Coaching but i decided to try this on my own since i dont really know any Poker players and I dont have any friends that play poker on a good level."

Try looking on Discord bro, there are several communities with fóruns debating hands

I mean you said it yourself - Any CFP who takes 25nl players is most likely bad

Maybe i shouldnt declare all CFP for scam, but imo a CFP doesnt really care about one specific player, they just try to get as many players in and some of them are gonna make profit.

I mean most of these contracts are like this : play at least 50k hands a month on regular tables only. 50/50 split. Get like 1 hour of 1on1 coaching per month and maybe 2hr/week of group coaching.

After 3-6 months you might get a database review to find your leaks.

Maybe im wrong, correct me if i am.

So lets get to last week. I didnt really play good poker if im honest. I got tilted way too often, i dont even know why. Happens i guess and whining doesnt get me anywhere. Just have to accept it and focus more on playing good poker and not tilting like a monkey.

Last weeks graph :

I ran way above EV, got it in bad too often and just got lucky. Not really proud of that. Running way above EV made me some money. I also got 2 x $87.9 from the deposit bonus and gonna get some rakeback at some point today.

Overall graph

Since i have cleared my deposit bonus, im gonna try to sell my CHP somehow and withdraw my money. For January im going to play on iPoker. Got a good deal for iPoker where im going to get around 50% rakeback.

Honest opinion on Coinpoker : Some days the games are really good but some days it is just a battle vs regs. Those regs might be making more mistakes then i do but i would rather play against weak players then against regs.

Also, i dont want to be playing all night to have the highest EV. I want to play at daytimes and sleep at night. At daytimes there are like 6-8 tables of NL25 running but mostly just regs playing and clearing their deposit bonuses aswell.

Gl with your journey. Will follow 😉

good luck !!!

i have almost the same blog

let's go buddy 😀

Hello guys, it's Monday so its time for another update.

As i mentioned last monday, i was going to withdraw another 300€ to pay one more bill, which i did.
This week my goal was to play 15k hands which i didnt achieve. Mainly because i was only 4-6 tabling and focusing on playing good poker rather than putting in a lot of volume on autopilot.

So i played around 6k hands in iPoker. Unfortunately the graph is not really correct, since Pokertracker doesnt track the hands right, when opponent takes a Cashout. What happens is, that Pokertracker shows the Hand lost, even if i won the hand. Its a known issue that Pokertracker Support already knows about for months.

So i deposited 900€ on iPoker and withdrew 1350 couple of days ago. A total profit after rakeback of 450€.

I withdrew my balance from iPoker mainly for one reason. The tables are anonymous until you sit down, so getting good tables is kinda hard since i think a lot of regs are using Seating scripts. I contacted MagicSeat to get a bit more info about how their seating script works on iPoker and if iPoker could detect it, here is their answer : It is technically impossible to trace the use of the script, as it masquerades as other programs on the PC + fully imitates manual selections. Ipoker is the most loyal room and he does not pay attention at all, for all the time we have been working no one has received warnings or bans

I cant really afford to take the risk and use a seating script myself - if they somehow can detect it and ban me and confiscate my roll that would be a huge downfall right now.
Also, if a site doesnt allow seating scripts i don't want to be that guy who still does it just because they cant detect it. That beeing said, i withdrew my balance to play on a site where i can table select a bit better without using a lot of my time finding good tables.

Back to Coinpoker. I deposited some money on Coinpoker and started grinding NL25 again. Going to play NL25 for a bit before i move up to NL50 there.

For Coinpoker i am using DriveHud 2 because its much easier to setup than Pokertracker 4.

Coinpoker graph for this week :

Im up $74 ($250 in EV) in 5400 hands. Running 7 stacks under EV. Nothing new, we getting used to it 😃

Made a total of around 500€ this week, withdrew 300 to pay a bill and bankroll increased by around 200€.

Not bad for playing mainly NL25.

Goals for next week :
- play 10k hands on 5 days.
- study 2 days
- workout every day atleast 30 min and go for a 15-30 min walk every day before starting the grind.

I think my main problem right now is that I get into the grind way too early after waking up. Most of the time when i start my session, the first 30-60 minutes i am almost always down. Stacks flying around, stupid plays and tilting sometimes.

Going for a 15-30 minute walk before i start my grind will probably help with that.

Thanks for reading everyone. See you next monday!

Following, good luck!
