Grinding Updates 9th June

Hey boys and girls...

Last days since monday my pc is a virtual atm throwing money to my opponents... Stars is in doom mode once again, i try to play only short sessions in this mode cause when you loose its impossible to think at 100% and be in the zone... the imotions shuting down your logic and theres no clear solid decisions about opps range and how to maximize our equity against them, there only "wtf? i call show me how you found your river again retarded fish" and you get to see the obvious.
Droped down to 10nl to gain some confidence from the softer field... also playing some 9max tables just to shake things up a bit in myhead... Still studying the game from my bigest loses hands still improving. For the record am down like 350$ since monday plus some cash bonuses i made from fpps.

For today ill try to go for a mega session in 10nl mixing 9max and 6max games with good table selection till i hit an 100$ day, not impossible, not easy with the cards am being dealt last 3 days wish me luck.

Poker is a simple game

You raise your button regardless of your cards (raising creates pressure).
until you have a reason not to.

You don’t fold top pair (because no one ever has anything).
until you have a reason to.

You bluff a lot (because if you don’t bluff they never fold).
until you have a reason not to.

You value bet relentlessly (because if you think you have the best hand, you usually do).
until you have a reason not to.

You run your opponent over at every opportunity.
Because they take it personally....

Greek Poker Cup Updates

Hello all....

After a nice bust at the main event day A1 i am happy to announce i just finished 5th in the 330 euro side event for 1280 euros... The structure was fast so i had to be very agreesive to get chips...

My first double up ... i opened from the button with 88 against a very light 3 beting bb, he 3 bets me and i 4 bet shove... he calls and shows 44 !
My second big hand
I open from early pos with QQ a player wich i had no image of him calls me in pos. the flop comes QQ2 and i check, he bets and i call, i check again the turn and he shoves 25K chips in a 13 K pot .... i had him covered so well done...
I started bulling the table with the chipleading stack of the tournament with big succes and showing bluffs to everyone waiting to play a big pot with a real hand ;) Thats when the tournament director changes my table and gets me to the left of the second chiplead.
I limp UTG with AQ to trap some shortstacks but the second bigest stack raises me in pos... time to represent AA and make him play for his tourney ;)
 I reraise and he calls the flop comes 1024 rainbow and i cbet and he calls, the turn is blank and i shove him with complete air for the rest 60% of his stack.... he gets crazy starting crying about how he got KK vs AA again, and i think damn it wasnt JJ or QQ after 10 min of thinking he folds KK and i show him the bluff... WHAT A MOMENT... i ordered a glass of water to get back to reality cause the whole poker room was in the air screaming...

At the final table i shove from the sb to the bb with A9s 10 bb and got called from AQ damned.....
Thanks to pokestars for organizing such great tourneys.
