Passion and pleasure playing Poker !

Due to having a full time job and so on ...my mainly game will be Cash Game (maybe 90% of the time) , but i love to play Sng/Mtt's too.

Bankroll management !

Bankroll management it's the most important thing that you must follow and try to never run away from that.

i have start a challenge in my Portuguese blog which i will continue updating here:)

I have start with 30 Euros (online) playing NL2 and now my BRM (online + live ) is 339.86$

i love to play Live , so times at times i put some money from online to play live .

BRM for Cash Game

BRM for Sng/Mtt's

5% of my Total Bank for Poker at the end of the current month moves to this bank

#################################################
ADVICE/HINT
As you can see i start with 30$ and now i have round 340$ but the true is in April per example i have more then 550$ ..so keep this in mind ...this is not an easy game and you must and make every efforts to control yours bigger enemy ....your mind !

As soon as you improve control your mind better for you .
At the moment my main trick is to not look to the results in Hm2 and continous playing the best game that i could and keep yours BRM management rules.

OBJECTIVES/GOALS !!!

it's very important you have some objectives/goals to put some "pressure" on you and to have something to achieve the objectives .
The goals should never be too easy or too difficult to achieve , put something above the average
And the goals that you make now ..can be very differents in the future due to several variables that life can bring you , but what matters is you set the goals and try hard to achieve that.

Current Monthly Goals

-> 35K hands playing NL2/NL5/NL10 regular/zoom tables
-> 250 sng/mtt's
-> Review at least hands 40 hands

Semester Goals

-> 55000/225K hands 24% done
-> 174/1500 sng/mtt's 11% done
-> Reach and stay at NL25 (step 6 in my Brm management)
-> play at least 4 sessions Cash Game live 2/4 50% done
-> play at least 2 Mtt's Live

Hi aafrancis,

Nice start to your blog and your English is good too
Looking forward to reading future post

AUGUST GOALS

-> 30K hands playing NL2/NL5 regular tables
-> 250 sng/mtt's
-> Review at least hands 40 hands

In details

Cash Game
For August i want to play 30Khands at least on NL2 and 5 regular tables . With my actual BRM i can play higher limits but at this time i prefer to focus on easy games and make "easy money" so i will maintain playing regular tables instead Zoom per example.
When my BRM grow up a litle more and because we don't have enough players in NL10 and biger (because the pool are open but only for zoom) i will return to Zoom .

Sng/Mtt's
My BRM for this is 17 Euros (5% of my total BRM as described earlier) , i will play 6-max turbos (0.50$ and 1$) .
I will try to play some Mtt's too.

ADVICE/HINT

Stakings , i love stakings

with stakings we can buy shares from others players and following /railing is achievements , knowing that we will have a percentage of yours profits ..and losses of course.

Stakings are very good to decrease the variance and maintain the most stable bank with less oscillations.

In past i buy and sell on 2plus2 but with the current overview we can't make player to player transfers so some years ago i have discovered the CMU which I started to use for this purpose.

I buy and sell events there , so if anyone have interested in using that site I would be grateful if you could put my referal when you make your register. My referral is aafrancis

Not bad results but i think i must do better at NL2 off course

AUGUST GOALS

-> 5k/30K hands playing NL2/NL5 regular tables 16% done
-> 54/250 sng/mtt's 21% done

Some details about the grind

Cash game look's a little better then i think it's my real winrate

In Sng/Mtt's i'm doing also good with this results

yesterday i satty in 20$ mtt's and i make itm so ....the graph looks good until now.

Nice Blog bro, I'm trying to climb up the cash game stakes too. Will definitely keep an eye on this!
Good luck on the tables

Hi all!

as i mentioned earlier i like stakings and i make a lot of that . So if anyone interested at this time i have this 2 events with shares open for buy .

If anyone want's some details/explanations about the site or anything else , you can add me as a friend and send me a private message .

Nice blog! Following
GL and most importantly HF!

Hello ,

i have to change a little the goals for August because ...yesterday i went to go some Cash Live and make a little profit , so and taking into account that I am up at the 2 limits which i'm playing , I will move to the NL10 grind regular tables.

  I think the field is already very short from there, so I should already incorporate the returrn into Zoom (that has been my misfortune).

AUGUST GOALS

-> 5k/30K hands playing NL2/NL5 regular tables 16% done
-> 54/250 sng/mtt's 21% done
-> 0/40 Review at least hands 40 hands 0% done

So i will add Regular tables NL10 and some Zoom too.

At the moment i only play and review some hands time of time , but if you are new on this you should take a lot studiyng , see videos , books and articles

I play everyday 1 ...2 hours max.

Regular tables i play 9 tables , if i play zoom i play 3 ..or 4 tables.

HI aafrancis,

Kinda like that you invest a small amount in MTT but since the gameplay is a lot different than cashgame, don't you have any difficulties regarding the mindset for each type of game? Or do you play them separatelly?

I'll follow your blog, seems you're running good. Do you use the live cash to boost your bankroll online and climb to the next limit or do you stick with the 30€ and climb only when you get like 20 buyins for NL10?

GG

hello Gustavo.

i will try to answer all your questions

I start this journey with 30$ playing NL2 online . love to play Mtt's too so i made a plan and provide 5%(in the beginning of the month) of my total BRM (which was created from the initial 30$) to play some Mtt's too.

I make my sessions of MTT's separately from Cash game (which is my main goal and effort in this blog)

I can't use my Live Cash sessions to climb limits because i have a rule where i can only move up if i have winrate >1 in the current online limite.

Feel free to add me as a friend here and he can change some skypes
