Poker

On my last blog post i was telling that i need to change something. And actually did, now i play much less poker, just few hours a day, more if i feel like playing. Strange but now i tend to win more than i used, when i was playing long hours. Since the beggining of the month i am up 2262 over 10K hands, yes i played only 10K over 7 days, while before i used to play this kind of number in 2-3 days.

Now i am back to 9K br, i feel happy about it since i was down to 5100 at one point few weeks ago. It's strange, i feel/play better, more concentrated when my sessions are short(1~k hands). So now i try to play short sessions and during the peaks only. It helps me to have a lot of free time and fine winnings. I am not sure if i will keep on playing like this, i feel like putting more hours once i finnish my exams.
Also i was not satisfied with my stats of play 17/13, i thought they were really nitty, but now i think they are fine since i play 8 tables. I tried to play less tables(4-6) and maintaining a higher stats, it is easier when you play less tables, and make better moves against certain players. So if i ran 18/14(8 tabling)i would be satisfied. I think i do not raise enough on the button.
One thing about poker makes me very happy, i finalyl managed to get all my money out of UB, jesus crist, they can put you on tilt with their support and dumb rules.
So for poker i would be very satisfied if i could mantain 3bb/100 rate. I just want to pass 10K, then i will probobly take the loan from bank for my own flat.
I might get my rakeback soon, and i will get it to Pokertars, around 1k. So i will play here some.

Not much to add more, i hope i won't run like shit again and i will be able to fully recover from my downswing.

Anon - you are an inspiration to us all!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

i told them that we laugh at their support at our forum, and that they should change their attitude towards players which they treat with zero respect. They got ashamed or what and approved my cashout
