Hello, thank you very much
As for the offers unfortunately, i cannot use them, at present in greece we are not allowed in most of these sites(even they have blocked their web pages) except pokerstars where i already have an account :/

i like your style, sir. good luck

I'm from the italian comunity, and I have pretty much your same goal. I'm gonna follow your blog.
Good luck my friend.

hey vanosv89 i'll be reading your blog! you should post some hands.

$6 in stars but 4 tables of nl2 zoom? how will you accomplish this? unless... you play with <100bb? if you would like to not be a fish you should only play with 100bb and have auto-rebuy enabled if you fall below 100bb ♦ otherwise your opponents will say στα αρχίδια μου

good luck with your goals and your diet, hope you manage to stick with it.

Hey guys!!
thank you all for the support!

Goodmorning everyone, i woke up about 4 hours earlier and now i really cant sleep again, but i expected a few days to adjust the sleeping time.

So, here is the 6th August GRAPH , i had a problem with my HEM but i used fpdb, its a free software to get the graph to you.

It was much better than expected, i did have that upswing i hoped and now my br is at: 33,58$

@ DrDunne: hahaha thank you my friend, i have to tell you that i started with 2 tbles NL2 ZOOM and auto rebuy at 100bb but when i reached 7$, i opened the 3rd table and so.

I ll post 2 hand with the highest (-NET), the first 2 with -net in the list are 2 times KK<AA so i wont bother with them that much.

Here they are. In the first hand i have this feeling that i could play it better and the second maybe has leaks. here they are:

1st

In this case couldnt avoid it because of the turn, which doubled the board and didnt fill any flush or str8 draw. But now i m watching it, i dont think i should have
3bet shove his checkraise. His stats are VPIP/PFR 27.9/21.3 (113 hands). What do you think??

2nd i dont have many hands against my opponent but.. VPIP/PFR 61.9/9.5 (21 hands)

So it was a stadar play imo till the river, where i think there is the leak.. I dont think i shoud call that river bet, even against a fish (no offend, as it comes from numbers)
i think the pots are played so passive where, this kind of action cannot be called by my TPTK...

Thats all guys for yesterday!

heya, welcome and good luck. noticed you were pasting hands as text.

if they don't convert here, there are other converters online you can use and paste the result here, it makes it much easier to read and get comments on .

1) fold turn
3) fold turn

+1 to @tomaloc.
Generally call flop raise turn is the nuts. Even top 2 can be a fold vs this line. Vs. Flop raises flatting is ok as fish can raise their medium to weak hands cos they don't have a better plan. But if they then pot the turn you are in bad shape.

I'm rocking NL5 also so look out for any of my raises. They're always the nuts

yeah... fold!! A common leak people have at this stage is that they can't fold easily their top pairs.
