Hi!
My name is Laurens and I'm a Belgian poker noob.
:club:Purpose
Im starting this blog up in an effort to build my way through the limits by being more active with poker outside of playing.
Aside from that, I think this will be a nice way to keep my English at a decent level ♦
:club:History
I think I started playing poker with the PS $50 in 2009. I mostly played hold em but I guess as every noob I tried some other games as well. Got busted after a few months and deposited some of my own money. Then someday I played some omaha, looked up the rules and got addicted right away. I grinded all the way up to PLO25 on stars untill the Belgian market got regulated and I had to quit because I wasn't 21 yet. So I cashed out and started again about a month ago after I turned 21. Already busted once after some bad mtt-nights with my roommate so I decided to leave the mtts for now and focus on rebuilding a decent roll with my main game, starting all the way from the awesome PLO2!
:club:About me
As I mentioned before, I'm from Belgium and currently studying economics. I spend my time on poker, Starcraft 2 and Quake live, anyone who is up for a game of any of those should let me know
I like techno, minimal and almost anything inbetween, so post some songs or artists in here if you got some, always like putting on some nice music while playing.
I like to think of myself as someone who has no problem with BRM and is pretty hard to tilt. Playing PLO for more than a year, I think I can put a bad beat or 2 in the right perspective ♦
:club:Goals
Finally something interesting eh! Basically I want to get as high as possible and become as good as possible, but who doesn't, right? So I'll just try to set some goals for a relative short term and see how fast I can advance.
- Reaching a $200 BR to play PLO5
- Reaching a $500 BR to play PLO10 and get coachings from Kyyberi
When browsing the forum earlier today, I saw this thread and thought this was a great opportunity to improve my game. So basically getting a BR high enough to pay for coachings is my main objective for the next X weeks.
:club:What I'll post in here
Hands for discussions, brags and whatever else. Probably brags though ♦
Maybe some nice songs, to be honest I dont really know what I'm gonna write in this blog. Guess I'll just see what happens and what might be interesting.
Long enough? I think so
