Today I did a lesson with p1mpdaddy from Austria. This was pleasant because I like the Austrian accent. We talked in German, which I usually don't do because all the specific poker terms are English and you always end up using a terrible slang of mixed up German and English.
The lesson itself went OK I think, although there weren't too many interesting spots and we fucked up one AJ hand due to my poor advice, anyhow, it was a winning session for p1mpdaddy on NL100.
Basically he said that he played too weak-tight and I showed him how to play more loosely, especially when in position, and I told him to c-bet more hands, which he didn't do before.
After that I did a session for myself, which went quite ok, but not as good as last week, my winrate fell to like 4.5BB/100, check out todays results (so far, might play another session tonight):

My opponent is a regular who sat at several of my tables, and he probably has running a HUD as well, which shows that my attempt to steal is higher than my preflop raise percentage, basically meaning that I try to steal blinds. Well, the same is true for him.
Knowing that I raise the button weak, he knows that he can 3bet my lightly, knowing this...
You get the idea

Good thing is that I didn't tilt a little bit, no matter what happend.
I definitely need to play more poker, because it's my source of income at the moment and probably will be until I have my degree, since I don't feel like doing shitty part time jobs again.
So I think I should play poker instead of wasting time in following the epic downfall of NeillyJQ or doing other random bullshit.
But this leads to this question: Is it +EV to play poker although you don't feel like doing it? I get FPPs, but that should not be motivation to play more, because my winrate is probably lower then.
Another question: Is it better to play less tables and really following what is going on or doing some semi-mechanical approach and 10-table? It's basically the same. On one hand you do play more hands, which should mean more profit. On the other hand it is probably better to play less tables in order to improve.
Some Real Life stuff:
University started again this week, but first week is not too important. Wanted to go to lecture this morning, but I already was late, then it started raining (I ride a bicycle), so I thought: "Fuck it".
That lecture is not important, so who cares.
Gonna learn Japanese this semester and tomorrow I have my first lesson, I am quite excited.
I also want to start to train MMA myself, because it's simply badass and if you get into a fight it's better to end up as the winner than as the loser. So I signed up for the MMA training at the university, which is at Friday night. I have lectures on Friday until 8pm or so and directly after that MMA. It's only once a week though, don't know how fast I can progress then.
All this probably leaves not too much time for poker, but we will see.
What blows is that I have lectures in two different cities (Erlangen and Nürnberg) and I regularly have to travel between these two locations which costs a shitload of time and nerves.
I want to make this a high quality blog, so I will post some vids or something similar from time to time.
Here is Lily Allen and her song "LDN", hmm, she's hawt and I love the British accent, but not as much as Austrian German, lol.
