		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>Past week i have done some test coaching with JSquids and Haivan to see if it was something i enjoyed and whether i have something to offer to SSNL player's. 

It was very cool to do this. I observed very different playstyles from my own and tried to offer them some advice that fits well within their own styles. I was quite impressed with the level of play. That JSquids was quite good wasn't ...</description>

		<description>I'm in a really good mood. Been playing good lately and feeling like getting a few students. To try it out i'm giving away 3 hours of free coaching. To three different people. First three that respond on this blog have it. In return i'm asking you to fill out a survey about the coaching so i can get a good idea whether to start offering some coaching to lowstakes players. 

this could be inte...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>giving the euro bookies a good run for their money lately, dazzling is really pushing it but i put it up because im feeling so high of crushing. Mainly betting euro soccer on Betfair, StanJames, Interwetten and ofcourse Pinnacle. doing fine. Not making a killing but still fairly happy considering BWIN screwed me over in a major way! Gotta warn you all: 

NEVER EVER put any money on that site,...</description>

		<description>UGh, so i start some standard grind. hit a rough patch and drop some buyins but no problem. i'll just play through. Good day to order in some indian food so i go right ahead and get some Lamb Dhansak. In the website i plug in pay cash in the amount of 50 euro's. It's actually quite cool that the site shows exactly where your food is and an estimated delivery time and all. Great!
So i grind som...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>playing some lowerstakes to regain confidence. absolutely teared through some $20's in a small samplesize. standardly nothing goes wrong there. i even hit a royal flush.  

at the $30's im also having really good results. 

measures i took so far:

1 tabling only. (this always pulled me out of cahs HU downswings.) 

i watched some Jackal video's on hu sng's and as all his sng content th...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>ok time for a 12step 

step 1 
admitting i'm a fish. i'm a fish. 

after looking at some HU sng variance numbers i can only really draw the conclusion that i'm currently a losing player on a losing streak.. 

i'm posting hands and reviewing my decisions a lot right now. i will try to post some hands where im sure of my decisions just to see if i should be so sure and ofcourse keep postin...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>So far i did really well in the $50 HU SNGs. on my laptop i have quite a few games. something like 50. in which i did well. for sure a 60-40 margin or something. i usually feel really confident with my play. i see quite some opponents play hands in ways postflop that i dont really like. and then today i started with all that confidence. in the GRAPH today started at the first time i hit $518, w...</description>

		<title>revisiting SNG's</title>
		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=851289</link>
		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>currently i'm experimenting with Sit and Go's. Once upon a time that's where i started out. It's fun to revisit the games. It's amazing how much higher i'm able to play them now just from my experience with HU cash and SH cash. Even when you get better at a completely different form of poker it still helps out a ton it seems. 
I'm enjoying a lot of different formats. Results are pretty good so...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>Going to grind hardcore to up the $400 to $1000 before jumping back into 50nl HU. i want to be able to play 100nl ASAP so i'm going to put in some long days. Also at 175K VPP and it would be good to be back at 100nl to grab the milestone before the year ends. 
As long as Stars doesnt come through with my bonus i'm grinding 25nl omaha or low stakes SNGs 10's 20s 30s.
the SNGs seem to be the fa...</description>

		<description>eh i have 400$ left in my account after losing 6k in a mix of 200nl and 100nl HU. i have 100k fpp though. emailed stars to ask if they can instantly turn it into cash as it will enable me to keep generating rake for them ;) 

and put me back into action. 

i am not devastated as my networth isnt gone. but my online bankroll pretty much is. still really really sad as i lost so many hands i d...</description>

		<description>such a weird match. this guy called EVERY 3 bet i made. EVERY ONE. and every single one i made for value. he almost never 3bet himself maybe like 2% or something. AND HE UTTERLY DESTROYED ME. it was like he was soulreading me or something.. took like $1300 off me. i got c/r on the flop, on the turn on the river. on the river it seemed to be for value everytime. but on the turn and the flop it w...</description>

		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>huge downswing? lost 15 bi's today, 2k or 3k hands i think.. playing a mix of 100nl and 200nl from now on, for now no regs, have to relieve the pressure from my roll a little. unless i played them in the last few days and have a TON of notes..  

don't think i tilted at all. just get raised a lot on the river. maybe i'm laying down a little bit too much on the turn. underestimating what how w...</description>

		<link>https://www.liquidpoker.net/blog/viewblog.php?id=818649</link>
		<author>piratematerial</author>
		<description>went through the hands of the last 2 days. i selected some winners and loser based on potsize. so they are a little bit of a random selection. 
 many were against the same guys though as i played some long cool matches were i got down a lot, sometimes as much as 6 buyins but usually managed to get back to being up or down only 1 or 2.

imo i had an edge on all my opponents but they usually w...</description>
