This blog has been discontinued, but you can find my new blog here:

The cash game student's blog

What's up, PokerStrategy? I'll try to keep this as short as possible, I'm sure everybody has better shit to do than listen to me brag about crushing the microstakes.

So I started a blog. Why?

Bullshit answer: Because I think it motivates me and blah-blah-blah etc. (Not my thing)
Real answer: Fo' the bragging and to complete the forum post requirement in case I ever need staking because my only source of income is poker and I have to withdraw periodically and I sometimes overspend so I never constructed a decent bankroll. :f_cry:

Short profile:

Country of origin and residence: Romania (life's first bad beat)
Age: 22
College dropout
Genius IQ(life's first suckout)
Poker info: I beat all kinds of NL hold'em games and have been playing poker since I was 19 years old. I started right here, on PokerStrategy after I saw an interview with Daniel Negreanu (also of romanian origins) on TV. I have never player a hand of poker before that in my life.
I spent the last year exploiting a new players 230% rakeback promotion by buying Visa debit cards from people and playing cash games in their name. The promotion ended a few months ago, so now I'm playing Zoom on PokerStars. For obivious reasons, I can't state the name of the exploited poker room.

Here are some games that I can beat:

$3.5 & $7 18-man turbo SNGs and 27-man regular SNGs (fishy beginnings):

$2.5 180-man turbo SNGs:

NL25 6-max Rush:

NL25 Zoom full ring shot before major withdraw:

NL10 Zoom full ring (VPIP 24 / PFR 19 / 3B 8 / AF 4):

Like the blog's name says, crushing!

Other achievements:
- Won Full Tilt Poker Adrenaline Rush - Week 1 promotion, medium leader board, 1st place for $1100 (80K+ hands in a single week):

- Won $800 in Battle of the Planets Promotion for ranking 1st in the low orbit and 2nd in the high orbit, Venus leader board in the same week:

That being said, I'll be posting funny hands against fishes, so we may all rejoice and stand in awe, beholding their charitable actions, as well as interesting hands that I deem worth mentioning and personal thoughts on various subjects. _biggrin:. I will be doing this almost daily.

So go ahead and give me some replies for me to know that I'm not talking to myself over here!
