I play poker: epic failure, start again

Hey peddy53, how is it going? And big welcome to our blogs section!

Hi peddy53,
Have fun with your goals and I'd like to wish you luck with bankroll building as well, but I think you've got that covered.

I also think your dishwasher goal is a very honourable one. I spend my winnings on mrs gadget.

Run good,

Mal.

Good luck with your goals! There certainly isn't anything better than a satistied Mrs!

Good luck!

Hehe, it's nice to see that someones goal is come to Latvia I also live far from Riga, it's cheap, nice and quiet - but you get bored after 23 years

long time no post.
Due to being christmas time and during this time was busier than ever, working around 80 hours a week ended up buying the dishwasher but with overtime money

So trying to play max was almost a total and epic failure ♦ . was not expecting that kind of variance plus stopped smoking and losing big pots=very high tilt which ended up with me breaking 3 mice in my head (yes in my head as it was my fault for calling).
So one more issue to resolve.
Ended up losing all my profits, so had to go back to the drawing board.

Looking back I tried to do too much with not so much time and needed to get some lower and steadier targets.
It is a ball ache and my plan is at the moment :

Have 25 buy in for nl4 6max on Unibet - which I have a bit more now as I won a little bit back, got my timer script ready and we are good to go and to learn ♦

Have a roll at Pokerstars to play FR - I split half the money on unibet and stars. This now gives me the opportunity to gring 17-20 tables nl2 FR 250bb deep.

Have no hands expected per month - my work unfortunately does not allow me to get a few hands so will do as many as I can really

Tilt control - when losing more than 3 buy ins, call it a day. As well finding the fold button sometimes help as well

Unibet is a great site but playing there, I think its rigged for the fishes side and leave the regs only with the rackeback, but one day will learn how to better play.

Another thing that is enticing me to get better and a better roll is Emanuelc's course. I'm liking it (If you read this Emanuel, as soon as i am on nl10 max and enough roll, youll be having a pm ) and think it will make me a better 6max player.
My FR game improved since I started 6max as my HJ,CO,BU opening ranges opened a bit although keeping in mind that FR plays nittierand I have noticed my stats going up by session.
Still on nl2 there is a lot of money to be made with 250 bbs play

Poker wise not doing too bad at 6max still at nl4 but still learning some of the dynamics. one thing I have written is never call any river shove (I wonder why) unless you have the nuts
I am still playing bad and god knows how I am winning. Yesterday I sucked out really bad and shouldve snap folded. Poor reg he left the table afterwards.
In the long run I am going to lose money so really need to be on the ball or my 6max experience is going to get my BR to zero. The good thing is there are players, including regs that do bigger mistakes than me but as soon as I move up the stakes I will be absolutely raped if I dont sort myself out.

So went to service my car today as next month I am driving to Portugal. It's carnaval month so using last years holiday and having a good time with friends and family for 2 weeks is going to be great.

Anyway while I was waiting, I decided to walk around the city, my bollocks were frozen as it was bloody cold and ended up in pc world ( a computer store.) And saw this beautiful monitor, led , 22 inch, I was in love , and i had to buy it.
The problem was I forgot that I still had to walk like 2 hours with the box under my arm.
Not only I was cold now but with a bloody arm ache of carrying this bloody thing

But it was worth it
