Rapidesh123, Fighting Gold!!!
Long time no see, people from 2+2, A lot has happened since my last thread. I would like to say that my
life has never been so good, but one of the only areas of my life that isn't going well is my work: poker, that's
why I've decided to make a new blog. I need to work more aggressively and focus more on poker, I hope this helps me,
also it's good to share my path with you guys, I love poker and I don't speak much with people about it in my
day-to-day life, so it will be good to talk more about it.
Basically this is what happened since my last thread:
I've started playing in a staking deal at NL200 on bodog, played for 2 years(around 500k hands and 3bb/100),
while doing it I got coached weekly by a very skilled hs reg, learned A LOT from him, left the staking for
personal reasons(couldn't play anymore, took 1 year break for health reasons). After that I came back,
played a lot of 50z to get used to poker again, took some 200z shots on bodog, did well, but crypto fell a lot
(95% of my net worth was on btc when it crashed, sick) and had to move down. I've started playing reg tables,
played a lot of nl100 on bodog, but ended up having bad luck, very bad work ethic and very expensive
spending habits. Ended up falling down to nl50 semi-broke and here I am. Basically rock bottom, with a 2k roll at
nl50 on bodog reg tables lol.
It's very annoying to play nl50, it feels like it's some sort of a punishment for my lazyness, nobody folds in there
EVER lol. It plays like nl2 on stars I think, every day I see so many badly played hands that I just don't believe them.
Even though I'm playing vs these terrible guys, my skills improved a lot, I think even more than when I was with
a coach, I've mastered how to beat fish by a sick winrate, it's unbelievable how good I am vs fish(obv I had plenty
of time to learn that playing these stakes lol). Played a small amount on stars just for fun, 50k hands at nl100,
people in there play too well compared to bodog, so I'm not moving there soon, I need to move up and get to NL200
as soon as possible.
Even though I play 100% exploitatively, I do my best to maintain a solid framework to work based on theory.
Everything that I do is based at least a bit in theory(although most of it is some very explo logic that my instincts tell me haha)
I still use pio, but more for fun, I don't pressure myself to work on it, I just do it to relax, I love messing with pio
Graph since my last thread (some 150k-200k hands are missing)

if this is how people play at nl500, then I'm not ready.

Will update this weekly for 55 weeks, then I will close this thread, this is just a temporary thread, if everything goes well, there will
be only one more thread, it will be the one that I will challenge the best at 500z+ on stars, but it will take a while, I really believe I can do it!!!
VAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Forgot to set some goals for next year:
- Going to play only reg tables unless it's saturday (challenge)
- Exercise every day
- 35k+ reg tables/month
Gl people, happy new year! Going to take 15 days of vacation and will get back to the tables refreshed, going to spend some days in Brasilia and then going to Ilha Grande, close to Rio. I hope I come back from this trip with more motivation and ready to work hard!
Hey Rapidesh, just took a couple of minutes to read some pages of your thread. You´re playing with a group I respect, you seem to put at least some effort, and you look like a nice person. You know what. Give me 50/50, hell, give me 10/90 for you getting to 2knl in this lifetime, and I'll still bet against you ever succeeding, ever reaching the highstakes. You know why? You´re sheep, you behave like sheep, you´re a beta, and people like you don´t have what is needed to accomplish big things in life. I mean, I can reach 80% of this conclusion just by reading what others post and how you respond 😀 You'll fail my brazilian friend. Sorry for the tough love.

i dont think you understand what tough love means lmao - this is just pure slander/insult
thanks for the update rapi and all the best in 2024. Don't listen to the haters, but do listen to those you have respect for, and keep working towards your goals. gl! <3
Rapidesh not taking the good advice out of the insult just proves how mentally weak he is. Oops, sorry, he didn´t even respond to my post, it was you, sorry Rapi 😀
MartimC, when I start selling my coaching/courses, I will out my real name/sn. You will be surprised by who I am on stars haha.
Nothing more to add

im really bad with names.. also im pretty sure not
and a fake graph is a fake graph, so if you're offering coaching , you're scamming people from the point you post a 1.5m hhs graph winning on all lines at that rate, either you can see the other players hole cards , or you only play btns
prob the drug addict dude from montreal who assaulted an old lady a few years ago, he has always been obsessed with rapidesh
can't even smurf properly, ****in noob
Yeah, I´m Finland for sure. Why can´t I be Mirage? Or Mrzbourg (did I spell it correctly?). Or tobe4funas? Like if Finland was the only Rapidesh hater on earth.
you're so bad at this hahahaha
At least I try to help Rapidesh improve. What good did you ever do to help him?
hard to help someone thats already better than you at the game,
your troll is just not fun at all, nor worth anyones times , at least we had a couple of laughs with mirage and the others
Thanks for the support, people, it's funny how some are 100% sure I won't make it and when I see things from my perspective it's so obvious that I will reach nl200 this year. With the help from the team I will get very good and might have a good chance to get to HS. My technical game is definitely very strong, what makes me stagnate is my attitude outside of the tables, but I'm working on that, going to relax for 10 days and I hope I will make a new routine that's very productive.
No, you're just cursing me, xenoblade gave insane advice here for 6+ years, always on point with his strat advice.

Thanks bena! Definitely listening to those I respect, haters are everywhere, I remember in your thread people calling you a nit for playing with 24 vpip whole you were crushing 500z for a 5bb/100 winrate lol
not to sound negative but isn't 10 days overkill for someone in your position? it makes me think that you don't really want this enough, or are you ill or something?
have you ever been tested for adhd ?

Travelling with family, they were planning for a long time, I definitely would prefer to just grind a lot, really want to put volume as fast as I can, but this trip was planned way before. It will be good, relax a bit and break bad habits.
No, but I'm very likely just lazy, always studied the minimum in school/uni, but was able to focus very hard in some periods of my life, so I don't think I might have that, my shrink said I might have it though
Lol, I definitely do that vs some regs

Finland assaulted an old lady? I imagine that must've coincided with one of his speed/meth binges. Last I had seen he was getting the cops called on him for doing "death metal screaming" because his neighbor left their cat outside or something

Without having admins check it out, a couple of plain ol' searches makes me believe it is that FazendawhateverBH guy. Not sure why he wants to come here and talk ****. Probably should just stick to his own thread with his new fake persona.

Really? He seems to be a respectful, nice person from what I can tell.
