Another evening is over and the bankroll continues to grow, even though it didn't look so good at the beginning due to some suckouts (I got all-in several times at 88% and more). The later the evening, however, the better the hands, payouts and also luck were on my side here and there.
The bankroll now stands at $154.86.
Such a long night is over, which was almost forgettable. Some monster hands were beaten by better monsters, some I played badly by giving too little credit to the opponents in a lot of action and thus got into all-in situations with the worse hand.
In between I was down to $83, but was able to recover a bit towards the end of the session, so that I'm down "only" 3.5 stacks in total. Current bankroll is now $120.38.
I do not want to say much about today, it was Upset after Upset and my Bankroll leaves me with 62.19.
So another long session is over and the result is that the bankroll is currently only at $50.40 (although it was also at $75 in the meantime, but the tables were too good to stop).
Since I don't know anyone who has a Bitcoin wallet to transfer the rest of the bankroll to a site with NL2, I will play on BetOnline until the bankroll is gone.
Overall, I am more than happy with my preflop game, including IP on the flop.
However, I notice that I still blow money too often when my opponent shows strength on the river. Otherwise, I don't think my river play is that good yet, because I'm rarely sure whether B/fold or c/call would be the better line.
I also think my postflop play OOP as a preflop aggressor is too weak, especially when it comes to the right betsizes or the plan for turn and river, depending on the board development. Here I catch myself calling down TPGK too often with minraises.
The fact that there were also enough suckouts (busted AA or KK several times, or opponent hits his 4-outer on the river) comes into play, but doesn't bother me, because the hands were played correctly from my point of view.
However, mentally it is sometimes not so easy to know that you only have 5 stacks left.
Somehow I don't remember how I exported the hands from the fast tables of BetOnline to post them here. (Or I had only posted hands from Reg tables).
After a long period of abstinence and a lot of action in everyday life, I had time to watch a poker video with Paxis again and immediately felt like to play poker again. As I still had $48 on BetOnline and it's not possible to cashing out is not possible with the bankroll and a deposit with another another provider was also out of the question, it was clear that I would also play with 4.8 stacks (I had played a little bit in between after the last update) and if the money is gone, then that's the way it is, just like that. But that's when you give up.
It was exciting to see that there seem to be no more normal tables at NL10 on BetOnline, which is of course counterproductive to the recommendation not to play at Zoom tables. Well, I had no choice nothing else to do. So unfortunately I can't show any hands here. The fact is that after more than 6 months without any poker content I had to get back into the beginner's strategy and as a result and therefore had one or two mistakes in the game, or when I wasn't quite sure sure what the correct line was here.
But it was nice to see that I still didn't get annoyed when I was still not annoyed when I was given 96% because I realised that I had played correctly.
At the end of the session (I think it was 2,000 hands) and the final score was a plus of 3 stacks, which could have been 4 stacks with optimal play.
could have been. Due to the small bankroll in particular, it is currently important to play almost optimally according to the beginner's strategy, as the variance is simply still too large here.
The plan is as follows:
- only play when I really have time and feel like it
- then only concentrated and with the intention of playing 100% according to the strategy (it's not 100% yet)
- Build up my bankroll to the point where I can cash out (that would be $200 (Crypto) or rather $500 then it goes by bank transfer), then follows then the switch to a site with much friendlier deposit and withdrawal options.
Current bankroll is now $80.17.
