First of all,

I decided I want to compete on chilean powerlifting, and i'm quite sure I can crush anyone at the 67,5kg weight class, given weights from last chilean powerlifting competition are kinda embarrassing. Btw, Powerlifting = bench press, deadlift, squat.

However, to reach the weight to compete, I need to drop 12 pounds of fat, so I started to taking nutrition REALLY seriously. No booz, no chocolate, no cookies, no bread, no soda, etc.

I took measures/pictures, so will make a nice post by the end of the deadline I self impossed (40 days, 10 days already done)

Depending on how much I can lift being 5kg lighter, i'll evaluate to pursue further progress (AKA compete in Argentinian meetings).

Poker wise,

Gonna end this month a bit earlier, first 10k hands are nl50, rest are n100



Meh, dropped like 10bi in last 5 days, guess it helps as a reality check after crushing nl50/nl100 for so many hands previous to that.

When I moved up to nl100 my redline started to drop again, instead of the horizontal one I had at nl50, guess I can improve there.

So i'll bump my question from my previous blog entry, since only Lemon replied:

The question to all of you good players,

What should I be doing along with putting the volume to increasing my skill level in order to go from nl100 to nl200, 400 and 600?
Do u spend time analizing other players hand/stats etc when u are not playing?
What things DID u specifically do to improve ur game and move up?
What's next?

Thanks for replies

In reply to your question:

1: play less tables. however many you are playing, try less; and then when you think that new knowledge has allowed you to get the crushing skills for this limit, only then multitable grind up to the next limit. rinse and repeat. Basically get skills playing very few tables to crush a limit, then move up quick with those skills, but try not to combine the two.

2: drop a limit and experiment with shit once a week. Write off 3 buyins as a stop-loss and consider anything else profit which helps psychologically. It's only 1.5 buyins at your normal limit. Try playing 35/30 and see what you learn from it. Try 3betting in position/from the blinds like a madman and see what happens. You will probably be a marginal winner at least doing this if you were a proper winner beforehand so nothing is lost. Now push it until something is lost and keep learning from that.

3: Play heads up against good players.

gl!

edit: ps: good luck with the powerlifting

HU can really improve your game.

I spend more time analizing my hands and my leaks than analizing other villans play.

GL with the challenge

I wont be touching a barbell in november, as i'll continue to lose fat/rehab my shoulders with kettlebell clean and presses/snatches.
In december i'll start bench/deadlifting again, and by the end of the month I expect to reach my previous 1RM, 100kg bench press and 150kg deadlift.
From there on I can add prolly 10kg a month to each lift for a couple of month, will evaluate what to do later.
There isn't an scheduled competition yet ;(
