Well i dont know what to say
I feel like reborn and at the same time i hate it that the book is so good and many other midstakes grinders will read it and improve....

only played a short 1h session at NL50 6max 2 tabling trying to implement some of the stuff i red in the book.
I only 2 tabled cause i really wanted to have time to think about the concepts of SLowhabits book and implement it in the game.
I have only read book for 2hours so far and i think its a long way till i will be able to successfuly implement all the concepts into 8-12 tabling 6max ( what i usually do)

So now lets talk about the session.

1hour 2tabling 392 Hands
+ 94$ despite getting sucked out hughe in this pot
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/766886

Very important note -> i didnt win one single big pot with a strong hand except for the very first hand of the session where i won 50$ nut straight vs set

So besides losing the KK vs AK preflop and winning the Straight vs Set setup ( which almost equals out)
I made ~ 2BI in 390 hands simply by winning 20-45$pots making regulars fold frequently.

short example:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/766888

He knows/thinks i am a nit
and i know he is a nit

ofc i got lucky that i didnt run into monsters , too
but i defenitely did bet in some spots where i never ever considerd betting before reading the book

the thing vs regulars just is that they know that both of u are nits.
99% of the time a regular expects another regular to play straightforward face up and have strong hands.

well

ALl small sample and stuff i know

But the important point is !
There is definitely tons of money to be made vs regulars in spots where u never considerd to bet since u are a TAG nit yourself

GL All

I will make a bigger review about the book some days in the future

And i really hope not too many people buy it !

I have no Idea wtf is that book, but obviously you should use your image to your advantage and do the opposite that your villains would expect (Tight when they think you are lose and vice-versa), provided they are good attentive opponents.

Add bluff cards against their perceived range (When playing reg vs reg you MUST know what hands are you trying to fold out and if the board texture and your sequence makes bluffing logical).

I really don't think this is any secret, and obviously you can very profitably double and tripple barrel on any stake that has any fold equity (NL10+), and many times it makes no sense to fire just one bet on flop or turn and then not follow it up with further aggression.

But if the book brings this to you, then all the best. Go get them tiger!(Its very easy to know what to do, but only experience will tell you how)

If you got some advanced hints and insights from it please do share

93% Sure!

losing KK vs AK is "getting sucked out huge"?

still have a long way to go mind-set wise...
