Giving it all.

So started doing Some Reading in the basic section. Most stuff About playing IP/OOP and starting to make a hand chart that works for me.

What i remember of my former nog so succesfull poker tries is that i tilt to fast and call down to light. I see people making herocalls in vids on high stakes, zo i allways thouhgt: yeah Lets do that to. Not so good on small stakes.

I need to get my shit together and just PLAY abc poker and try to avoid the marginal/beat spots. If i can do this, i am certain i Will get my ass to beat nl5 this time and hopefully more.

So off to a good start, tonight is gym time and getting laptop, Tomorrow Will be setting up and watch at least 2 vids

Setup is complete now.

Got my new laptop, installed PT4, installed Pokerstars so let's get it on!

Tonight i will nog be doing anything poker related as i need to go to the gym.
Had 2 bad knee injuries during playing football. First time got it fixed with surgery, had to train for 1 year to get back at football again and play 5 matches to get the same injury again. So no more surgery for me and also no football anymore. But yeah i got some pounds added up to me weight, so that has got to go.

Will be watching 2/3 more vids before i start my new challenge.

Tomorrow evening should be an evening for a good session. Wife goes out, so if i get the children in bed on time and they won't cry all the night, i wil be making a good 1/2k hands session i guess.

Hi Erwin good luck at the tables

Thanks man! Well i am looking for what is better for now.

Played 2 sessions yesterday evening and this morning. down like 0.40ct or something like that. Misplayed 2 hands with AA and KK, got lucky to win the KK one.

Other then that, Zoom seems to be nitty as hell. Im gonna reconsider if i want to play zoom or i want to play the reg tables.

Tonight i will be watching a vid probs from 7 to 8 and after that im gonna put in a 2/3 hour session with some breaks to post marked hands.

If this goes on like this with the nitty plays on NL2 zoom i am really gonna look for reg tables

Forgot to update my english blog as well. Played About 10k hands and i about beish, with 4bi under ev.

Atm i am watching the 6 vid course from Lemon, Some great stuff in there that allready massively upgrades my game and mental state. Hopefully a good dessin tonight!

Good luck

Good luck!! Def some good topics you've decided to start with!

long time no see, lolz i tend to forget to update my english blog as well.

been busy with some real life shit:

needed to buy a new car, we bought one 1 year ago but it turned out to be a shit car. So this time i took out my wallet and bought a rather expensive car, renault megan 2011 station with all the luxury like navigation, cruise control etc.

My two daughters still cry like they are being hit every minute so that's some real life tilt.

Other than that it has been absolutely shit crazy busy at work, so that takes some time to:P

decided to dedicate my time into learning to play my old love PLO. Probably always loved this way more then NLHE, as it has so much more dynamics imo and so much more action. So looked up some vids randomly on the internet and on PS.com.

There aren't a lot of vids available here for basic/bronze, and PLO on other sites then PS is pretty much non excistent, so yeah trying to look up some better vids trough other methods.

But yeah basics are pretty simple: Stop drawing to 2nd/3th/4th nuts. Tbh at PLO2 it is that easy. Just ship with the nuts and there is allways one guy that calls u with the lower nuts.

So keeping that in mind i started playing a bit, and guess im up about 15BI in about 5/6k hands. Unfortunatly i don't have the Omaha small stakes, but the hold'em version of PT4, so i will try to post some hands every now and then by scrolling trough my hand history. Once i hit PLO5, which im trying to take a shot at around 100/120 dollar BR, which is quite agressive i know, but might as well take the shot, i will buy the omaha stakes one to and i can show u all some sexy graphs hopefully.

Jinxed it,:f_biggrin:

Right after updating my blog i go on a "nothing holds" streak and lose about 6BI over 2 sessions. Nothing to bother really, it is quite standard in PLO and most of the time i got it in pretty good, except for 2 times i got it in low straight vs nut straight and Boat against a bigger boat. So yeah that needs some work, cause i need to learn to fold them.

And this moment i have about 231VPP so guess i might as well give it a go to become silverstar this month, shouldn't be to big of a deal on PLO2.

Hope my good play and run continues after this:)

He elsjorro,

welcome to our NL Holdem Microstakes challenge! Do you want to play PLO & NL Holdem at the same time?

GL with both!

SvenBe

Thanks Sven. Nah im just concentrating on NL Holdem atm, swings at omaha are killing me, and i am a bit of a person who can't make up his mind so yeah, the challenge was a good point to get started on NL holdem again.

so yeah, someone should hit me in the head to be honest. Tilted again, i am such a stupid fucker. Went from +2Bi to down 3BI in like 3 hands where i completely butchered the first one for a 550BB pot, and then tilted away 2 stacks. so yeah that needs to stop period, cause i was grinding nicely at 7/8BB/100 hands

pff i am getting absolutly fucked by everyone at the momen. -12BI for the challenge atm.

Keep getting coolered or whatever. Also everytime i have KK, i GII against AA 100 % of the times.

Just a few hands to show what kind of shit i have to bear atm.

This hand was just now at the end of another -3 BI session, i was like: yeah just ship, he probs got there again.
