Ok, I've been playing a ton this week, needed to clear a bonus as quickly as possible. But this means that I haven't been playing Snowie at all, at least not since playing the 2k hands on Monday, which means I'm 6k hands behind with Snowie. On the other hand, I've played more than 12k hands of actual poker this week, including more than 6k hands today, ~12 hours worth of play when playing 2 zone tables and 2 regular tables simultaneously. Which means I've played more than my quota of actual hands for the entire week, not that it matters, as I'm changing up the schedule again, lol.
This current schedule is just way too easy, using "volume" encourages me to play zone, when I'd benefit more by playing regular tables. And it encourages me to blast out Snowie hands quickly, rather than efficiently, as I spent most of last weekend and Monday of this week, playing 2 regular tables on Ignition, 2 zone tables on Ignition, and 2 Snowie tables, ..all at the same time. Which made my entire poker day less than 3 hours long. Not the best way to do things imo.
So I'm going back to time based schedule with starting and stopping times. I'll be spending much more time actually playing poker, much more time actually playing Snowie, and much more time actually studying ranges. Much less time wasting the time I spend doing any one of these things with a volume based schedule. This schedule is more rigorous than any other schedule I've made, but it also allows me a day off from playing poker, but not from studying poker, every Monday. Hopefully, I'll still play some poker on Mondays, just without the feeling of it being a necessity, and occasionally if I'm feeling a little burned out, I might not play at all. So long as I grind it out the other 6 days, and keep studying, I'll be happy.

So much for getting caught up with Snowie. I played about 20 hands this morning and got locked out of the software again, for the umpteenth time. The software really is awesome, and probably the single best piece of poker software ever created, but it's really not worth it. They are so easily the nut low in terms of customer support type things. They just do not care at all. They got their money, and they don't care about anything else. I mean for fucks sake, the software has been around since at least 2013, and they haven't even managed to implement a 4 color deck. It was the very first thing that anyone ever asked them for. It has been asked at least 500 times of them since the software was released. And it's still not available, because they do not care at all what their customers want. They really just do not care. They're all really smart, geniuses even, and therefore there is no reason for them to care anything that anyone else might want, they know what is best for everyone, so it's perfectly fine for them to ignore everyone and steal from everyone, and cheat everyone. There's nothing wrong with it, and there's nothing anyone can do about it because no other such software exists anywhere else. So they can do whatever they want to do, ..and they do exactly that. It doesn't matter that we pay for the software and we can't use the software, they don't care, it's not their problem, they're not wasting their own money, they're not wasting their own time, ..and they absolutely do not give one iota's fuck worth about anyone else. Sometimes nerdy kids get picked on and bullied because other kids are just assholes. But sometimes nerdy kids get picked on and bullied because they themselves are the assholes. For this latter reason, I bet that the creators of this software got picked on and bullied quite a lot in the younger days.

Had some really bad weather yesterday (Sunday), losing electricity for most of the day and all of the night, so I didn't get to play any poker yesterday at all. Would've been a decent week of volume had I gotten another solid day in yesterday, but as it turns out, it was an average week...   |

Ok, new approach, well not so much new, but yet another attempt to get back to improving at this stupid ass game. I really need to post results everyday, despite the fact that it doesn't help me at all to be viewing daily results, if anything that aspect of it is counterproductive. However, posting daily results does provide the motive to actually meet the daily minimums that I set for myself. It doesn't allow me to say fuck it, I'll just play extra tomorrow, ...and then not do that either. But I really don't want to clog up the blog with a million posts again. So given that today is Sunday, the last day of my poker week, after today, I'll start posting daily results each day, but keep them all confined to just one post per week by creating a "new" blog entry on Mondays, and then editing that same entry every day with each day's results, finishing with the weekly summary stuff as the last edit for that entry. This will results in some longer than usual posts, but many fewer posts. I'm not sure that this will even work as I often have issues editing posts, but hopefully if it's all just images, it won't be a problem. Speaking of images, ..August has come and gone, here are the less than spectacular results...  Todays results...   And today finishes this week...   Obviously most of "last weeks" results came from today. As alluded to above, I haven't exactly been getting the volume I should be getting. But as has become standard, it's a new month, and I've a new schedule. Should get 2700+ hands of play each day Fri to Sun, and 1600+ each day Mon to Thu, resulting in more than 60k hands per month if I manage to stay on schedule. I'm also playing 2k hands per day Mon to Thu with Snowie, and 1k hands per day Fri to Sun with Snowie, resulting in almost another 50k hands per month. Another couple hours each day studying ranges, and my days are pretty full. It'll be a challenge to stay on this schedule, but I don't see any other way to make progress. Since today is Sunday, tomorrow I'll make a new blog entry for Mondays results, and then I'll edit Tuesdays results into that same blog entry on Tuesday, repeated until Sunday where I'll finish by posting the results for the entire week. That's the latest new plan, can't wait to see how long it lasts, lol. |

Monday:   Tuesday:   Wednesday: No Snowie hands today, software locked me out again right at the start of the day. I've never felt so strongly about my dislike for a company and the people who run that company. These people are literal thieves and borderline scammers. The software itself is not the issue, it's just the thieving bastards that own the company that are the issue for me. They literally do not care one iota that I paid them for the use of this software, and about 20% of the time I want to use the software, I can't use it. I get no refund, no extensions, no apologies, no helpful solutions of any kind. All I get is a big go fuck yourself from these people. However, I've recently learned that there's a new product out now, Simple GTO Trainer or something like that, it's not exactly new, but it's been vastly improved recently, Fried "mynameiskarl" Mulders will be making a video promoting this product sometime soon and I can't help but have faith in Fried's opinion, especially when my opinion of the only alternative could not be any lower. So when my PokerSnowie subscription expires, I will certainly be making the switch to the other product. I'm actually looking forward to it, so that I'll be able to tell the scum bags at PokerSnowie exactly what I think of them without fear of being forced to be without such a product.  Thursday:  Friday:  Saturday:  Sunday:  Weekly:    |

Ok, I've been wanting to do this for awhile now, but always had concerns over sample size, so I've waited until I had more than 100k hands in my sample. But clearly, things are different now than they were before they changed the software. When they changed the software, it was unplayable for a few months and I spent that time grinding the jackpot sng's rather than playing cash games. Somehow, somewhere in that, something changed in my game. I'm down significantly in the WWSF stat as well as the AF stat. Since the software change, I've felt like I've been wading through ridiculously stupid bad beat after bad beat, but that it doesn't really show up so much in the EV line because the vast majority of the time it happens we were not all in. Perhaps a good deal of this problem is being caused my apparent lack of aggression, in other words, I'm letting them see more cards, and therefore they're making more hands to beat me. Makes sense to me, although I'm not sure that it's true, it seems like it should be true, and it seems logically reasonable, so I'm going to assume that it's real for the time being at least. I really hadn't considered this possibility, as my Snowie error rate scores are almost equal now to what they were before the software change. However, considering this a bit more, there are so many places postflop where Snowie advises things like "bet x% of the time and check y% of the time", where Snowie would not negatively score a check, nor negatively score a bet, so if I just check 100% of the time, then my error rate score doesn't get worse, but my actual win rate may suffer significantly. Now my biggest problem will be figuring out where I'm being too passive, without over correcting anything. I don't have the old Snowie scores anymore, so I can't compare AF then and AF now, but I do have some videos that I recorded of myself playing that I could review to look for such things. I suppose that is what I'll be doing with the time that I had scheduled for Snowie. The first 2 images are what I've done since the software change, the last 2 images are the same games, almost same number of hands, but prior to the software change...     When I've been playing since the software change, I've been telling myself things like "don't get carried away calling 3bets, especially oop", blah blah blah. I always felt as though I did a bit too much of that prior to the software change. But I also remember that my calling 3bet% was pretty damn high, and I had lowered it significantly for the majority of the sample shown. And yet it is still way higher then than it is now. I also think things like "don't be bluffing too much", which then leads me to almost never bluffing at all. I tell myself things like "they're not bluffing as much as I think are, and they're certainly not bluffing as much as they should be, so overfolding is correct" blah blah blah, just telling myself not to be calling too much. But the reality is that I see plenty of ridiculous bluffs when I do make calls, the problem might be that I'm only calling with the very top of my range. So I could well be folding too much. I haven't looked at WTSD and W$SD stats in these samples, not even sure if those are in the image or not, which I can't see at the moment I'm typing this, but I'll look at those also. Something is different, I'm less aggressive, I'm winning significantly fewer pots, I need to figure it out and correct it asap. I won basically 17k big blinds, in EV, in 120.5k hands before the software changed. I've won basically 6250 big blinds in EV since the software change, in 105k hands. It's really disappointing to have these kinds of issues, as I remember playing before the software change, and always thinking that I wasn't being aggressive enough, and I wasn't winning as many pots as I could win. Which is true, a WWSF stat in the 42 to 44 range is nothing spectacular, and a really good player could easily run at 46 to 48. Not to mention that an AF in the 1.2 to 1.3 range could easily become 1.6 to 1.8 for a really good player. But I'm even less aggressive now, which means I've went backwards instead of forwards. I want to be somewhat careful making adjustments, as I tend to go into a tailspin any time I try to make adjustments. But hopefully I can be careful about this, find exactly what is different about my approach/strategy and make the adjustments without any negative effects. Fingers crossed, as that has really never been the case before, lol. |
