Introduction

So one day(the 28th August 2017), I decided to check my Neteller account and I saw some money in it yay ! I then realised that my country was not eligible for the Net+ cards anymore ohh noo! So i had 25$ and the fees to remove them was 12.5$ soo decided it was better to lose it in poker haha

I started with Zoom poker , i sucked at it. I applied for spin legends , I was honest and told them that I was a complete newb so of course - spoiler alert- i was not taken. Then i tried different things, but fortunately because of my application for SpinLegends reminded me that I had a HM3 software.

In the end I decided to start to NL2 as i remembered once i was able to be positive in this level.

Poker bible
Bankroll

I will play an agressive brm until i reach NL10

Soo i decided to change my game a bit.

I will play 12 table 6 on stars and 6 on 888poker.

Why? I am not focused when I am playing 6 table , i get bored easily and start to watch a movie or read something.

With 12 table I play tighter and is more focused hope this will pay.:f_thumbsup:

I was able to withdraw my $400 bingo money :f_love: But dunno what to do with this I played 50$ bingo and have 350$ left I could invest in poker to go to the next level but dunno if it is good to skip a level.

Today's Result

One of my best game , the difference from the other days was that I did not refresh my graph every 10 hands xD which make me played my A game most of the time with little mistake. Was a good session , I need to make it an habit not to check my win/loss every minute as it put pressure on me when I lose and I play less tight when I win.

I was aiming for 1k hand in 1 hour but after losing the hand below I started to get tired so decided to quit before starting making errors.

Playing condition :

6 table on 888poker
8 table on pokerstar which got reduced to 6 table as the table became tight < 16VP.
Some music haha

So no graph for today =D

Sorry guys but am being lazy.

I tried to play 16 table short-handed today and it was crazy , got a 6$ loss.

Then in session 12 i reduced my table to 12 got back to 4$ profit ^^

For sh I might stick to 10 tables as too much action.

Quite wild 3bet with that K9s COvsMP :f_rolleyes:
And I think you should still bet the turn. There are weaker Kx and draws that can call. We don't want to see a fourth club, and that lets you check back the river more often.
But quite nasty hands indeed :f_mad:

How is poker going atm? Still playing NL5? :)
