Greetings ! Welcome to my poker blog !
About me
My name is Ivaylo, I'm 22 years old. I'm born and raised in Bulgaria and I'm currently a student in the Technical University-Varna. I've got one more year to finish my bachelor. In my free time, except playing poker I love playing volleyball, jogging and also I'm a graphic web designer, even it is more of a freelance work, I got a few regular clients. I mostly design logos, advertisements, banners, facebook covers, sliders, mobile applications and web sites. What else should i tell you..hmm...Actually I don't have a lot of spare time anymore, but I used to play League of Legends(I was very good ♦ ), but I can proudly say that I've taken away big part of my laziness.
About me(Poker career)
3 years ago I've taken poker game serious and I can say that I was definately a winning player, but there was one day that I got some unexpected and not planned expenses, so I had to withdraw all my bankroll. I've played seriously only for 3-4 months, after that i've been depositing $10 once on every 2-3 months just to play some MTT's and that was it. If you are interested in my winnings back in time, just click the spoiler.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
It has been long time, but somehow the motivation came back and I wanted to play again and the most interesting part is that I'm more motivated than ever. For a few days I've read a lot of strategies, watched a lot of videos&coachings and more usefull things, anyway I knew that I can't just come back after almost 3 years break and just crush the limits. So I've decided to deposit $50-70 and start playing micro limits and with consistence, willingness, discipline and constantly improving my game, I know that there is no way I can be stopped(LOL), well I guess this is where I have to say that self-confidence is maybe the strongest part of my personality.

So, on 13 may 2014 I've deposited $60 as my starting bankroll and in the exact same day I've also made my first session. I'm playing only regular $1.5 SnG single-full table in Pokerstars
I want to share with you some graphics and statistics :
1. Tournament Winnings Graph
2. Results graph
3. Tournament Stats
4. Overall Stats, this statistic is filtered for number of players between 4 and 9, as you can understand by yourself is not in the money, the stats are mostly for early+middle phase.
5. Position Statistics, which is filtered same as Number 4(not ITM)
What I want to share as self analysis is :
1. Two things are clearly visible from Number 3 - the first one is that apparently I have problem with my game on the bubble(I've finished mostly 4th, which is %18 of all played sng's so far), I guess the reason behind this is because I play so aggressive on the bubble and in most cases either I build a solid stack for the heads up game or i just break the bubble. The second thing is that my HU game sucks a lot, as you can see I've finished 20 times 1st and 28 times 2nd, which in my opinion is really bad, so I guess I can write down 2 goals in the future :
- To improve my game on the bubble
- To improve my HU game
2. The things i first see from stat Number 4 is that my W$SD% is too low, right ? 54% is such a low rate for W$SD% (Your opinion will be appreciated for this one)
- To improve W$SD%
3. Looking at stat Number 5 I think I can maybe expand a little my hand range from MP, also I guess I should reduce my hand range from SB(I'm not really sure about these two things, because the hands are such a low amount for conclusions like these, let me know what you think guys)
Well, I guess this is it for now..I will probably post tomorrow some interesting hands or hands, that i'm not really sure if i've made the right decision
P.S. The two thigns I would love to get from you are - CRITICISM and ADVICES.
Thanks to everyone who has lost his time by reading my blog ♦
Good luck on the tables!
Regards,
IvayloY
