I wont tell you all but ill give you an example.Brazil.I probably have around 10 trends i notice with these guys and its mostly i think to do with there being so many poker schools where they all learn the same thing and do the same thing and the new concepts all appear the same month which is one great thing about poker courses it makes most players play the same. A couple of plays you will see vs a brazilian would be if you limp bvb they will raise around 80% of the time or another play would be they x3,x4 3bet alot with hands that flop well, but tbh alot of regs seem to be doing this since June time.
No location as i say is tougher as you have to play a bit with them to learn but my tags are very simple.I have 3 tags and have my approach set for each individual style.I dont write any notes or have a special plan for each player.On skypoker around 75% of players have the same tag and thats probably because we are all UK and Ireland.Do the Irish tend to play the same as the English? Welsh same as Scottish? I dunno i never got that specific, maybe there are some opinions on this? What you will learn by paying attention to trends is you can learn alot and improve by adding things u notice to ur own game or countering plays.
Today and tomorrow ill take off. I'm still fuming as my electric cut out prime time last night and i probably had around $300 of tables open and once i managed to get back i was out of most. Will hopefully recover some of those losses with AJ getting the KO vs Usyk tomorrow night.
Power cut. Nothing so guaranteed to make my blood boil. Wise to take at least 1 day off for that.
Important to recognise the players who don't conform to type. "Jesus" Ferguson was so successful in part because he was a TAG player with a cowboy hat.
I always found Scottish people to be absolutely mental on sky compared to the rest of the UK. Obviously had no data on it but it felt like a legitimate thing. Not sure if others noticed this.
This is the challenge so far.Terrible start, nice recovery, then drop off.2 sites have eaten alot of the profits and have held me back so far in the challenge, but this is the trouble of player those sites with bigger fields.You can go half a year with no profit and maybe it was a mistake by me to play so many larger field tournaments. To still be down money 2 months into the challenge isnt ideal but i will still continue and see if we can have back 2 back profitable months.
gg poker and 888 poker wont be played this month as i bust both bankrolls and they both want screenshots of my bank account transactions which im not interested in sharing.Lesson here is to not withdraw much with these new regulations, seems far less hassle to just keep enough bankroll on a site which will cover any bad downswing.
For this month i will remove/add some games (far less turbos) and play more hours.I played around 1600 games in August which isnt enough to complete the goal.I got too distracted by things outside of poker but will go full lockdown mode this September.
Been a while since an update .Been putting in a lot of hours and have booked another winning month but because of how bad the first month was, im just too far behind pace to complete this challenge.
This Monday was the possible game changer.I had a very deep run in a wcoop on pokerstars that was $75k for first and a final table would of locked up the challenge but it wasnt to be.At the same time i had double final table for the final table jackpot but this was bad timing. Once i bust the wcoop event i was rocked and lost all focus and put on a poor performance on both final tables on sky.I got 2nd and 5th.I think with focus would get at least 1st and 3rd but who knows.Ive made so many final tables on sky this month but won hardly any.
40k in 6 months at these limits is not easy.I think you need to run very well.20k-25k is achievable for most players but once you try for more it becomes difficult. I tried for the big score early on pokerstars that you have to hit usually to land 40k+ in this time duration but i missed and lost.
I will think about new challenges or if anyone has any idea for one tell me.

Good luck. Particularly on the AJ bet.
Gl with your challenge
