The "Book v.E."

Yeah, here is a little update for this Book..

Well, i would say i use to play a lot of PLO 25 in these days..
I started it last month and i had a 15 (euh, how do you say "cave" in english..? I mean buy-in..) si lost something like 350€..
Now i play realy better and i am something like -115€, - 4.5 caves (buy in)

I also use to play FL 0.25/0.50€ and 0.5/1€ but omaha takes me a lot of time..

I apologyze again for my terrific english, i know i am here to improve.. So, hepl me please..

Hello Den, seems you are doing awesome.

Your English is pretty good for the most part, I don't know what you mean by 'cave' though we call it a buy-in also. There are a few spelling mistakes, but I don't like to assume you'd like to be corrected and sound out-of-line. But happy to help you with them if you wish.

Best of luck, will follow your progress

Hey Den

Nice blog and good luck with the grind, and with improving your English!

I'm back playing FL again (was my main game for a couple of years) after taking a bath learning PLO at PLO5. PLO is a sick game, fun, but sick!

OlivierLu used to have a blog in the English community forum. He was a FL player from the French community who had reasonable success at low stakes. Hopefully you can follow in his footsteps!

Take care!

Hey, thank you guys for your.. euh.. welcome..(?) lol
Yep, i realy appreciate it..

MrMardyBum:
thank you, you make me blush but i know i have a very big lack of vocabulary and i make so much grammatical errors that i feel ashamed..
I swear, if you could fix my post on my spelling mistakes, i would be very pleased.. ^^
What we call "cave" is a buy-in specialy for cash-game, and we say buy-in for MTT and SNG.. (yes, i know, french people are weird.. lol)

Waiboy:
Thank you too.. ^^
I agree, PLO is a sick game, but you know, as a french people i'm forced to play on .fr network and so just against french players.. It's like a.. well.. I have no word to describe it, and this time is not because of a lack of vocabulary lol..
It's like the sea.. the ocean, so many fishes.. so many whales..

Yes i know Olivier, we had some chaotic tchats on the french forum lol but i respect him as a very good player.. I didn't know he had a blog here..

I will post some results later..

See ya'..

subscribe

hey dude, welcome to the english community.

I am also French but have never read anything on the French forums!!

In fact it was quite funny when I played poker in France for the first time because I didnt know the French vocabulary (learned how to play in Ireland), like usual counter intuitive french translations like cave for rebuy etc...

Anyway GL with your game.

Hey pretty nice that you are a winner at different variations of poker.

Got some really good writing tekkahs going on too.

hi Densyosh,

welcome to the english community! it's not that common to see someone play so many different variants of the game. but it seems like you're pwning FL really hard. that is one awesome graph.

anyway im glad you've joined us here. your english isn't bad at all. certainly 1million times better than my french ♦

Smiles,
Wendy

Heeeey, thank you everybody, realy..!!! ♠_love:

Well, i'm going to try to anwswer to everyone, i have nothing to do tomorrow so that's good, it can take me one day.. lol

Ingrid:
I don't know how you missed it.. Or maybe because it doesn't exist for more than a few days.. ♦
More serious, do you have an option to suscribe to the blogs on this community..? I think we don't have this on the french one..
And you, do you have a blog..?

Dublimax:
Hey lol, that's so funny to meet a french here and to speak in english, but i guess i'm far from having your skill.. I hope you will help me on some words that i don't understand..
I will follow your blog too.. ^^

pleno1:
Thank you..^^ I try but it's not so easy for me in NL, i don't know why.. I just know i have to work a lot to make my game be realy better and winner.. I'm just break even this year..
What means "Got some really good writing tekkahs <-- going on too."..?

Wendy:
Thank you.. FL is my game, i think i have it in blood lol.. But you know, here in France people play mainly NL, and FL has a very very short field and seems to be on its last days.. That's horrible for me and for all the FL french players.. So i have to play other games to survive..
As a french player i realy feel in a prison.. ♠_cry: I would like SO MUCH to play AGAIN on the .com (this is like a dream..) to play stud, razz and any game i want but I m forced to play NL against only french people.. I become crazy.. lol

So i think i'm still french but not for a long time lol.. I hate my country so much right now for so much reasons that i'm realy pleased by this welcome from everyone of you..
I hope it's not a big problem if sometimes i write some french words when i don't know the translation, maybe someone will understand it and give me the translation..

No blog yet, but maybe one day I'll start one as well... I probably should actually.

Yes, you can add it to your favorites... Guess the French Community has the same option as well, right? How does it work?

- Choose your desired blog/thread/post etc...
- Click on the "Add thread to favorites" in the top right corner of the page
- Go to your favorites here and turn on email notification for that thread or all existing threads which you have been replied to

You'll manage?

wow i didnt know french people cant play with anybody else in the world. that does seem quite limiting.

It's awful..
On my room, the biggest MTT's field i played was something like 160 players.. ♠_confused:

There are biggest fields on some other rooms but it's not wonderful..

The worst thing is that foreigner people can come on the french rooms but french players can't play anywhere else.. It realy looks like a North Korea's jail..

PS: i don't know what means "globalization"..

Ouch JJ hand is a big time cooler for sure. Unlucky dude.

I'd probably 3-bet pre-flop though with JJ at a SH table, get him folding all those suited Ax hands and try to play the fish heads up in a 3-bet pot, maybe OOP but think at 61/9 it's not going to hurt us that much, not sure UTG folds 88 but still just the way I would play

You're right, i SHOULD have 3bet pre-flop but..

This session was horrible.. I had nothing to play and the only hands i had 3bet pre-flop were destroyed (QQ <-- AQ = A on flop/ QQ <-- 88 = 8 on flop)
I didn't want to play a big pot (lol) in this position versus this first raiser because he raised UTG and was solid player.. When BTN calls i can call and try to trap..
In this position and with this hand i was ready to fold on flop, so i just wanted to catch a set..

I did better..

lol

Yeah once you get to flop there is no way pretty much every player isn't going broke. Can't ever put your opponent on quads.
