Gisteren een HU match gespeeld. 327 hands. Aan m'n stats te zien lijkt het dat ik te passief ben. AF 1.67 w$SD hoog, non-showdownwining laag.
Vandaag aan het reviewen. Ik heb al redelijk wat fouten gezien bij mezelf. Een paar té loose peels die de AF omlaag helpen toch ook. Enkele té tighte laydowns.
Villain was solid.
Wel een paar handen die ik niet kan plaatsen van villain.
weaktight | Hand | QKs - $10/$20 Limit Holdem en weaktight | Hand | A8o - $10/$20 Limit Holdem
Villain leek me goed genoeg om een K high niet in een bluff te veranderen, maar toch die handen. Heb er niet echt een verklaring voor.
Ik heb ook nooit gecapped, aangezien villain een tighte 3bet range had (15%). dunno of dat de goede aanpak is in zo'n gevallen. villain capte dan weer wel vaak (29%)

Is het niet beter om de flop te 3betten dan te flatten? Het is obv dat je dan zen range vernauwt, maar Khi heeft hier toch maar redelijk weinig value en je gaat river toch bijna altijd moeten folden op een 3e barrel? Als je dus flop 3bet en turn en river bet kan je dan niet redelijk vaak Ahi doen folden?

in hu zijn de ranges IETS groter dan in nlhe ;p Kh is hier meer dan genoeg de beste hand en zeker @ paired boards is het cu @ showdown, vooral omda ge ook nog es Q kicker hebt. Met hands hands als K4 ed. wordt het iets closer ma zeker int begin van de match zou k da nooit folden.
En door te 3betten gaat ge al zn air laten folden terwijl ge nog zoveel de beste hand hebt, dus laat ge m beter barrelen.
+ Ax fold nie op paired boards want die speelt ge voor value

daarom da gilius het ook zo vreemd vindt dat hij daar KJ showt. Met zo'n hands zou n standardline eerder c/c zijn op de flop in de hoop da villain opnieuw een stab neemt op de turn met 'amper' 6 outs. De klote positie voor villain hier zou dan zijn als gilius ook nog es de river bet 
ma iig, zoals gilius al zei gaat villain hier (te) dikwijls zn hand veranderen in een bluf omdat slechtere hands folden

So I'm trying to get back on track, playing some volume in October.
Going to update almost daily.
My goal is to have a couple of 1.5k hands days, and doing 1k days almost every day.
Yesterday I've played 1034 hands, at various stakes. Even played a bit 0.25/0.50 rushpoker, just to see what the level of play is like. It's pretty nice for a grind, but playing abc poker is all you can do. It takes a lot of the challenging part away. It doesn't really run at 1/2, and there are no tables above that, so I wasn't considering playing them anyway.
Also played a bit of 3/6 since the tables where pretty bad at 5/10 and 10/20. Pretty amazing how big of a difference it is between 3/6 and 5/10 in terms of level of play. There might be some merit into playing those regularly, since I can 6 table those pretty comfortable I think, while I'm 4-tabling 5/10 and really doing a lot table-switching. Tables seem to break up a lot after I join anyway. It's a good sign I guess
I feel like one of those SNE grinders when I play 3/6 though. The play is not as challenging, playing overrolled and pretty robotic.
But I guess it's a better alternative for not playing because the tables are just too bad.

Yeah, I know, I didn't update every day 
It struck me that the problems I face in poker have mostly nothing to do with the actual play, but always with the mind.
At this moment I have two problems. Motivation and concentration.
I might have found the reason for my lack of motivation.
In the latest blogs of Bryce Paradis he touches on this subject a couple of times. He's going through some serious problems, so it's not really related, but I can find my 'pokerlife' in it.
I think the most relevant video is this: YouTube - Acceptance
The lesson to be learned is that you have to accept the present, and preferably be happy with it.
I was never really happy with my pokerlife. I was going for the major goal. It's a good thing when you reach the things you wanted in order to reach your goal, but when things aren't going as planned, it's a failure and you're not accepting it, because you don't want to be where you are now, you want to be in the future, you want to be at your goal.
2009 was a pretty big step in my pokerlife. I moved up through the limits pretty fast, I got supernova level which I've set for a goal that year. I thought the whole setting goals thing was the reason why I did so good, so I did it again.
Once things go bad, like they are going right now, it's a downwards spiral, because you're not happy with the current 'pokerlife' you have, you don't reach your goal in time and might never reach it, so there's little reason to play at all.
So I need to learn to be happy with the things I got. Living in the present, not the future.
If I think about it, it's all nice. Even while I'm down 6k if profit this year, with my rakeback I'll prolly have about 5k up. Which is obv. way less then I hoped for, but it's still nice, giving the downswing.
If I want to quit at the end of the year and cash everything out I'll have a very nice car to show for it. At the moment I'm buying my gas for my car, and small online purchases with money from poker. I even went to see the u2 360° tour, which was the best concert I've ever seen by far. I'm going to see Avenged Sevenfold in a week or two. All for free. Oh well, not for free, but just for clicking a couple of buttons online.
I need to realize that what I got is pretty good, and future things are things I can not control. I can try and make my current situation better, but I can not force it to happen. I need to be happy with the current situation and the road I'm on.
2nd big problem I got is concentration. I just realized that I have some serious issues with that. I've paused the video of bryce (10 min.) twice to just think about other stuff, I got up from the table and wandered around at least 7 times while I wrote this blog. It's pretty hard to keep focus on one thing. When I do something for a time, it just becomes more of a drag, so I do something else.
The easy solution would be medication. But I'm really not into medication. Medication is to heal, not to make things easy. So for now, I don't have any solution to this yet. I'm not saying I'm never going to take medication, but for now I definitely don't feel anything for that.
I might try some aromatherapy although I'm not really a big believer in that sort of stuff, but my mother is into it, so I just have to ask for it.
As for the volume, it all went good until I got down 600$ in a session again, and I just quited. I know it's all long term and stuff, but for now I'm just going to focus on being happy with the 'pokerlife' I have.
