Hey guys! Well, its pretty much everything you guys mentioned. First and main reason is that you can get bored if you play on just one room. If you are playing 1 or 2 hours in a day yhat will not happen but if you play like me 8 to 10 hours you would be bored very much. Also if you suffer bad beats on one room you swich to another. That way there is less really big downswings. And final, like Doomdy sad gifts, first deposit tournays etc. is really cool stuff. Thanks for interest guys!

How does switching room reduce length of a downswing?
Well, If you running bad on one site you swich room I know you will say that changing room cant reduce length of a downswing but you must admit that during a downswing changes are good

Agreed. It's the same thing as sometimes you have a seat at a table which is "cold", while at a different table your seat is hitting everything. I also agree with the change in the look of the room helping a little. Poker is a lot about psychology - both yours and your opponents, and whatever gives you an edge should not be discounted.

Yeah exactly,it makes your swings look shorter because they are mixed up over 2 sites,but them getting shorter overall is just pure imagination

If you track your overall results then a downswing is a downswing, and an overall gain resulting from very good results from one site more than offsetting bad results from another is still a gain. Jovica seems to track his results pretty well, plus he needs his game to be profitable as this is his sole income, so I don't doubt that he keeps tabs on overall numbers. IMO whatever works to reverse a downslide is not to be discounted.

Yeah obviously,I was only saying,the only benefit of switching site during a downswing is the psychological factor,other benefits are imagination but are not real benefits At the end you'll always have to grind through the downswing,no matter what site

Agreed. Cards are cards but in the end if you feel it is an advantage and helps you with your poker mindset then so be it.

Well here I am, 2 months from my last update. I already told in one of BeMyATM's treads that my goal for this year is making 10k euros and finishing in top 5 in 5-15$ HU leaderboard on Sharkscope. Things are going good so far. In December I had around 1k$ in profits so it was very good month. In January I have by Sharkscope statistics about 940$ from playing HU oon Stars. While Im speaking this Im placed in 17th place on leaderboard and Im very pleased with that
Also, me and BeMy had little conversation and because of it I have shifted on 15$ HU and Im doing pretty well in those. Soo more profit per game

Impressive jovica and I like the graph. You know I could probably use my statistics background to improve my own game, but this is yours and you look really good.
Just to let you know! I always enjoy reading your threads / posts and usually find your vids to be good as well. Wish they still had the Highstakes videos since they were educational for me.
Good to see you back and maintain your goals as I read everyones blogs here at BRM and I'd like to read about you meeting them. Good Luck!

Congratulations Jovica, very good results. Also, good advice from BeMy, because as long as the poker money keeps taking care of your needs, the opportunity to go for more should not be missed. You obviously have skills and lots of time ahead of you, so careful and measured steps up are a good idea.

Welcome back Jovi... And grats to your nice winnings. Very impressive graph indeed. I wish I would do half as good as you do. Still not seem to have found the best game for me...
