ok so.....my bankroll is now again.....50$. I'll start everythink over again. Cleared my whole database cause i cant look at it. I just hope one day im gonna be 1200bb over ev line. ;/;/;/
I busted twice before I made my first 1k profit. take it slow and focus on discipline and learning.
Basic basic standard stuff please. Some of the hands I've seen on here have been horrendously played and I'm a fish.
Just stick to the basics and rake in the money.
Most of us get a bit 'egoey' and think we're super- pros coz 'they're only nl2/nl5/nl10 fish and get punished for it, calling all ins with TP average kicker, blah blah.
I am however, expecting this blog to throw up some good stuff later, as youseem to have the attitude. that's what brought me here.
Just a point, I'm no hasenbraten, but I've never deposited and never will, even though my BR is currently $21 and I play nl4 FR.
Last point, don't be playing 44000000 tables just coz you can, you'll go broke making the odd mistake here and there, it doesn't need to be major. Play 2 or 3 and get good, then crush 4, then 5...then ....
Good news:
I got 25$ rakeback from rakeweek ;]
I also gather points to get 20-25$ points to money exchange after boost.
I didnt play anything uptill now cause we got here in poland studentsfest so basically i was drunk whole week. Today Im sober so ill try to make some sweet night session.
I orderd some sklansky poker books and ace on the river by greenstein cause hes one of my favourite player. I read ealier Negreanu Power Holdem but it was mainly (like 99,99%) about tournament play.
I'm gonna try to play daily 1k-2k hands uptill next week where i will need to take a break cause there's awesome 3day music fest: KoRn, Guano Apes, Alter brigde and tickets are only for......12$ ♦

ok i lost all on this 22$ up there. I lost 2 tournaments with 5$ bi each and lost 2x 4e making stupid AI calls ( I called an AI twice the pot size on T high board with JJ -- went against QQ)
from now on only cash no tournaments , and im gonna read ps session review to make it real damn good ;]
yesterday i got autographed sklansky nolimit holdem book from pokerstars store. I read few chapters on pdf version and it was really good. As i study science i like the strong portion of math there. And i think it was a real bargain cause for 1.2k points u get a book thats worth 30$ alone. Anyway this reminded me that i have some few $ on ps. I looked on onther rooms so my all in all BR is
WH: 74$
PS: 8.xx$
FTP: 3$
I played 3 session on ps as my br is so low i played 4 tables with 60bb on each

I'll be playing shallow 60bb until my br is about 25$ then i'll move up to standard 100bb. I marked on pt some hands for review and ill post them in a few sec....
1. I got lucky there but i think it's mainly cause my opponents played it really bad.

Hi,
nice thread and have fun moving up the limits.
Here a hint. You wanna play bigstack 100BB, then rebuy till 2$ when running short. Auto top up will help you there, as it would be a sin to sit at with half stack or less and then getting it in the middle with AA for less than a stack.
