Starting 18:00 GMT Friday:
End 22:00 GMT Sunday
15 separate Sessions, 50-70 minutes long
Starting limit: NL50
Move to up: 6+bi won
Move down:6+bi lost
I will keep track of them and input a short review after each session.
I will vary 4 and 6 tables (1hr4, 1hr 6) to break the routine and see the difference maybe.
Its time to stop fucking around, I need some proper regime or I can say bye bye to my goal of being a pro when hardcore year 4 of uni starts. Hope this experiment works out, I am looking for balancing the most volume with the least danger of tiredness of mind and hyper tilt.
And to make this more fun, I will post 1 chick pick per review so you you can keep coming back. First in 2h22 minutes :o

Session2
During this session I didn't feel good at all. I was playing 6 tables, unfocused and I made some large spews.
I had a big dinner and watched a movie, perhaps I should have had the session earlier in the day, my redline was horrible.
The result was a very unfocused session where I lost 1.4 buy ins just by bad play and redline.
I think I have to have the 6 tabling session at my peak performance time before lunch and in the afternoon, and 4 table when it gets late/ after meal
Sesion 3
After watching a video last night at Blue fire poker, I must agree with the author that LAG is a good style for NL50-NL200.
What I misunderstood previously is that you have to run big bluffs and fight for your stack all over the place, which is not true at all.
The goal of LAG is to appear to have a crazy image preflop and steal many small pots, but never pay off with the worse hand or stack off light.
So I tried to apply the philosophy this morning and its hard, very hard.
A) because I was tired after last night (thats rigfht I wake up tired now lolz)
B) I find it hard not to stack off light and I make many mistakes
Overall a break even session, but I will push myself to play as many hands preflop as possible in position, its a good trend.
Being aggressive changes the dynamic from avoiding mistakes to forcing them upon others (and is more fun)
Session 4
Terribad, my head hurts, I am tired and feel bad. I paid off nits where I shouldn't twice - Its so hard to play aggressive when I am not in my top shape
1.4BI down for today, I will tighten up or play loose when I feel better.
When you play 70% steal and 34/27 there is absolutely no room for FPS, big bluffs and hero calls, and doing any of those destroys the whole point of LAG.
Session 5
6 table chill for a bit. Still got my headache and continue playing bad... I will get some Chinese Takeaway and go for another grind.
Made some huge spews, but am on track towards my weekend goal.
And I run hot, which is never bad -.-
I also need an aspirin, because of my headache.
My diet is very bad, Chinese instant noodles every day , I really miss my gf
Session 6
This one went well at first, The Chinese Takeaway was closed, so I had to cook myself. Some Brocolli, Tomatoes, Beef, Salad with Soy and Oyster sauce and steamed rice on the side. Decent/not as good as from my gf
Also took some aspirin and went for a grind.
The session went well from my perspective. I was 4 tabling and for the first time this weekend I was not playing my C game.
I went on fishunting, and won some nice $30, ship it.
One negative thing was certainly that I got distracted by fellow LP member, and I never say no to a potential discussion about poker
This cost me some 20Big Bets, I have to make sure I avoid IM ing when I am having one of my sessions. Its only 60 minutes for gods sake.
I am on track and will put in 2-3 more sessions today.
Session 7
This session was semi-decent.
I was first getting ran over by everyone, but then I got some nice fish on my tables and hit some sexy heaters and went up again.
What was bad was my weak plan against regs, where I checked flop with Midpair and then called 2 barrels and...they always hed sets or flushes lol. I play so aggressive at the moment (some 31/27 including 1 HU table) that I must appear very loose to everyone and it makes no sense to call down 2 streets just because I would do so.
I play with some 52% attempted to steal at the moment and it feels really good.
I also have to check fold flops more and double barrel much less without a hand, as people are just snapping me never thinking about raising with overpairs and top pairs, and my bets are too transparent.
I still feel like I largely suck and I make so many mistakes, but its fun and +ev in the longterm indeed.
I will try to put in one more session, which will leave me with 7 tomorrow.
Maybe I will put in two if I will feel like it in a couple minutes, it would be nice to have a relaxing Sunday
Session 8 & 9
Eight and nine?
Thats right. The Eight session started badly. I was playing on a table with huge fish and I got pwned multiple times.
I lost with set of sixes versus a set of deuces (turned quads), and with higher flush draw on turn All in.
So after 1 hour, I was deep with 2 fish to my left, and had another fish to my right, and I had good reads on both of them.
Staying was +ev, but this time I simply got attached to my money they had and wanted it back ;D.
BUT, this time Around I didn't continue grinding, I Actually sat out on all my tables, went to bedroom, and tried one of Tommy Angelo's breathing exercises. I came back fresh and played much better than if I didn't take out the 7 minutes or so. And I eventually stacked one fish for 170bb and took 100 bb from the other one
