Hey, check you comm tool inbox. I wanna sent you my stake money back.

Hey guys I am back! Starting from now I will try to keep this blog more updated so make sure you follow! ♦

I had a fantastic summer this year and now I am back to university in the UK. Poker-wise I had 4 winning months during the summer

I have been in the UK since middle of September but with no internet connection So there was no online poker for me until yesterday.

I played 3 tourneys in a local casino and shipped one of them for £350!

I ll post some interesting hands that occurred in the hand evaluation section. Feel free to tell me what you think about them!

I will try to post some short and long term goals in the next few days which I intend to follow closely. Basically, I have to make a plan because I am very disorganized atm

See you guys!

Here are the three hands I posted on the hand evaluation forum

Hand 1
Hand 2
Hand 3

What do you guys think about the hands?
What are your thoughts on my explanations for the lines I took?

Shipped a $11 tourney today for $420. My first big score online

I was chip leader until there were 20 players left (200 player register)

Then I completely butchered a hand when I 3bet AK pre against a utg min raise. Flop comes KJ4 rainbow. Villain donks small, I raise big and he calls. Turn comes a 10 and he ships. I call and he had Q9o ;p It was a terrible call. i know. I lost 3/4 of my stack. Then from 11 BB I managed to pull out a sweet win!

Hello everyone

I have decided to switch to SH cash games and try to move up the limits starting from NL10! I will be switching from the ongame network to Pokerstars. More details will be posted, next week.

For now this leaves me with a small issue. I have 160 000 points on the Betfair loyalty system which translate to about $1800 of tournaments tickets

The Challenge


Play 350 $5.50 30-man sng's in a 10-12 hour session!

Can I complete the challenge with a 10%+ ROI?

Place your bets please ♠_cool: ♠_cool: ♠_cool:

Was that your main game there?

Anyway I'll bet $10 against you.

for the past 4 months I have been playing 30-man, mostly $5.5 and $11. But its been almost a moth since I last played a 30-man ;p

As for the bet. My odds for completing the challenge succesfully (350 games and 10%+ roi) are like 1:5 but I dont mind at all. If you are serious about the bet I ll take it, just for the sweat!

Just $10 but yeh serious.

Let's just be clear what 1:5 is. If I win you pay me $2 and if you win I pay you $10?

Nah:p my odds for completing the challenge are 1:5 but i will take even odds cause its more fun:)

So if i fail i ship 10, if i win u ship 10. Cool? i ll pm the bets details 2mrw, ok?:)

Good luck with the challenge maritsula put please leave the prop bets to the community tool or Skype

This!

Well, I have good and bad news;p

Good news is that I managed to achieve 16.5% ROI!

Bad news is that I only completed 85% of the target volume.

This is because I thought that there were games running up until 01:00 however after 23:00, there were hardly any games. The reason for this miscalculation, is that I was playing these games the whole summer in my home country, which is 2 hours ahead of UK. Therefore I would always finish my session at around 01;30. That's why I thought there was volume until 01:00

I literally played every $5.5 and $11 game that was running, from 15:00 to 23:00 and the volume wasn't enough ;p

I have been playing zoom for the past 8 hours and I am proud to say that in one of the tables I am 1400bb deep in NL10:)
