pre-scoop sale / first quarter of 2022

Hello! I wasn't posting for a while, so let me fix that with a big announcement.

We are running pre-scoop promotion for seminars:

If you would like to have more information or have any questions regarding seminars and our promotion, please drop me DM on Discord.

• Seminars

Let's start this update with couple words about seminars that I'm head coach of. We've been working as a team since January and after 3 months of working together I can say that I'm very happy about how things are going. I had so many doubts if this is going to work and I can say after a while, that I wasn't expecting this project to work as well as it is working currently. This is mostly because of awesome people I do this with, so big, big shout out to Fabi, Ole and Wenzel! 

Feedback that we got from community was very positive so far as well which makes me super happy. I have massive trust in this project and we will continue doing this for quite some time for sure. Good job team!

• Twitch 

Recently, I decided to do free coaching sessions on Twitch with Deckflow, Praaap and Eddie. I'm enjoying the experience so far and will do that most weeks. You can tune in on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Times may vary, so keep an eye on #events in my Discord server. I always post when we go live. 

• Study

As always, a lot of that. I'm using a leak finder spreadsheet currently to identify my leaks, and realised that I have so many. They are frequency leaks. My frequencies were off compared to optimal in spots that I wasn't even aware I am leaking. Big one was that I wasn't floating enough on turns (bet vs missed turn c-bet) but also I do miss some probe bets from BB. Some frequency leaks are clearly wrong frequencies vs optimal, but I'm fine with those based on my current understanding of pool tendencies as well as exploits that I try to implement after nodelocking many spots. 

• Things happening in the world currently 

Very sad times in Ukraine. I got very emotionally involved, especially at the beginning of the war and also got involved in volunteering. ​I hope this ends soon, I hope it never started and I hope it ends well for Ukraine. This situation definitely had an impact on my mood, motivation and things around that. 

• Mindset & motivation

Because of what I just mentioned, as well as recent downswing, playing some cashgames to try new format as well as focusing a lot on coaching, my motivation for playing was very low, hence low volume and poor results. I'm playing way better game when I'm playing often and stick to my routines, which I wasn't doing first 3 months of a year.

• Pokercode

Two or so months ago I had a privilege to be a co-host of Simon Ronow session for Pokercode about preflop exploits. Simon (IgorKarkarof) liked how I work and liked my math/solver based approach which resulted in me being invited to co-host a session and that was very very cool experience. I really enjoyed time spent on zoom calls and preparing material / discussing spots. For all of you that are in Pokercode, you can re-watch it on the platform. Let me know what you think! Also, stay tuned, as we are already preparing second session. This time, we will discuss postflop exploits (one of my favourite topics). The session will be on 6th April 2022.  

• Results and volume

Not much to say here. Low volume, poor results and the biggest downswing of my career, but I'm feeling positive as we are recovering slowly. Also, I'm pretty hesitant to call it a 'downswing' because of small samplesize of games and also mixing some 200s and 300s in December/January + not cashing highest buy-ins. This resulted in being down around 20k, which was about 250 buy-ins (mid December - mid March)
​

• ​Plan for next quarter of the year

​With SCOOP coming up, I will definitely focus on playing more and studying harder prior to the championships. Wenzel had a great idea of doing a 'prep week' when we study hard for 7 days or so do be in the best shape and be ready for long grind for couple of weeks. We will see if we do it or not, but it's pretty cool concept overall. 

Best of luck to all of you!
