Archief - 2011: The road to triplenova
Het archief is een bevroren moment uit een vorige versie van dit forum, met andere regels en andere bazen. Deze posts weerspiegelen op geen enkele manier onze huidige ideeën, waarden of wereldbeelden en zijn op sommige plaatsen gecensureerd wegens ontoelaatbaar.

Ik ben nogal lazy, dus ge zult het moeten doen met een copy/paste van m'n blog 
So after my tilting about the whole regulation in France, I went to see a movie. The A-team.
Pretty good movie. It's not the best movie of the year, but it's good enough. They really honor the series in my opinion.
Anyway, after that we had a couple of drinks. Too many drinks.
Which basically ended up with me not feeling well during the whole day yesterday. That combined with the hot weather here, making it VERY hot inside, means that I didn't play yesterday either.
It sucks, but I never could've gotten in a lot of time anyway. I lost about an hour of play I guess, because I felt better during the evening. But I've looked at a couple of videos on youtube, and I don't really regret it, giving the nature of the videos.
That's where the science comes in.
I've always been interested in the human psyche, and saw a lot of videos about it. It's strange you can quote whole lines from somebody's speech, but fail to realize it also applies to yourself.
I've been struggling with motivation since forever, and although I've seen the video before, it took me another look before I realized it could also apply to me.
YouTube - theRSAorg's Channel
For the people that don't view the video, the think it boils down to is that you have 3 things that increase performance and give more personal satisfaction.
- Autonomy
- Mastery
- Purpose
And I've thought about them all.
I don't have to report my pokerresults to anybody (except for you guys
), so that's a lot of autonomy.
Without a doubt, I got where I am because I got better at it. I learned more and more, mastering the game.
And like I've said in one of my previous blogposts, I like to view the bigger picture. Even beyond going pro.
So I got all incentives, yet I'm not all that motivated.
And I realize now that I should focus on all three things at the same time. If I'm thinking about moving up, I'm thinking about shortterm, I must do this in X time. I lose sense of bigger purpose and autonomy.
Same goes for all the other things.
While it does give me some boost, it's not for long. And it's obvious why. I forget about the other things.
The goal of mastery is also a bit faded. I would've signed for this to be playing the 10/20 games 1.5 year ago. It doesn't have to stop here however.
I never really wanted to be the best, and it's still a long way to go, but why wouldn't I try to reach it? After all, it's not the goal that's important, it's the route you take to get there that is.

Toch gekeken naar m'n results so far voor de maand.
1 Juli is de helft van het jaar, ik wou dan de tijd nemen om alles te evalueren, de nodige stappen zetten voor de toekomst indien nodig.
Als m'n resultaat blijft zoals nu, moet ik het "volgend jaar pro" doel schrappen. Triplenova mss ook laten, mss dat ik gewoon quit. Weet het nog niet, dat is voor 1 juli.
Graph van deze maand tot nu toe:
7k+ hands tekort deze maand, over gans het jaar 10k in profit te kort.
Ik ga proberen het nog recht te zetten. Last chance to chase my dream?
verwacht me niet al te veel online de volgende dagen.

backdoor straight, backdoor flush, 1 overcard op het board, 1 overcard op middlepair en zowel flush als straightdraws in mijn range.
Het zou simpelweg slecht zijn om hier te folden tegen 7 to 1.
Als er geen slechte kaarten komen is dit waarschijnlijk een calldown anyway

A lot of things have crossed my mind. I thought about quiting, taking a break, getting the going pro thing out of my head, etc.
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Some things I have realized:
- 400BB downswings are very likely to happen to 1BB/100 winners. And I might not even be a 1BB/100 winner.
- You need to put in a big amount of hands once you go pro. Variance can be very sick (400BB is nothing compared to wost case scenarios), so you just need a lot of hands to get into somewhat of a long run. Which basically means going pro = going for supernova elite
- I still have no clue about my real skill-level.
- I can not get 50k profit this year, unless I go for quatronova and get 20k$ in winnings. (which is from now, because I'm basically breakeven for the year atm)
I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I will continue to play, and go for triplenova. How to continue after that, I don't know.
I do remember Randy Pausch's words: The brick walls aren't there to stop us, they're there to let us show how badly we want something. They're there to stop the other people who don't want it enough.
However, I'm behind schedule for triplenova, and struggling to get things done, so it might be too impulsive to just say "hey, I'll go for quatronova".
I am not going to play unless I feel ready for it. I played some today with a very bad mindset. The mindset of "I really don't want to see another beat" and "I'm prolly getting outdrawn here again".
There's no reason for me to start playing if I have that in mind.
I don't know how long it's going to take. I might be grinding away tomorrow or be close to august before I start again. Can't tell.
The going pro in 2011 is pretty far away in my head right now. I'd say there's like a 10% chance, maybe even less.
I am currently at 135k VPP's, so 15k short for triplenova-pace.
Over the year I am up a whopping $222

QFTCuRv3 zei:
Triplenova is door het lage volume de laatste tijd niet meer haalbaar, dus ga ik gewoon naar 'dualnova'.
Plan is om max. te 4 tablen, voorlopig gewoon 2 tables. en te verbeteren.
Uiteindelijk is een hogere winrate maar matig slechter, en is het veel beter naar de toekomst toe.
Ik ga in de toekomst ook wat HU spelen. Zo speel ik toch veel handen zonder te veel tafels te spelen.

Wat denk jij dat er met de limit games zal gebeuren als ongame en party mergen? Deze zouden dan op weg zijn om het derde grootste netwerk te worden na ps en ft. Ongame heeft net ook betfair over genomen, en als party er dan ook nog bijkomt ligt de amerikaanse markt open voor ongame...
Zie jij je misschien daar ook gaan spelen als er daar meer FL traffic gaat zijn?
Vraag dit naar aanleiding van verschillende posts op 2+2 die in dit opzicht positief reageerden op die merge voor de FL spelers, dacht eens te vragen naar jouw visie...
