Hi,

I had a blog here somehere but alright.

A little introduction; I'm 37 years old with a full time job that I really hate but very good at it.I don't know exactaly here I want to go with poker but for now is to help me pay some bills since my income isn't enought.

I beat NL10 several times but never climbed higher since I've made a lot cashouts but now is different, I want to take this more seriously and see were I can get to.

I've been around poker for 4/5 years and I'm creating this blog to motivate and force me to play and recognize some things about me and my game. Several people and some coachs tell me that I've a solid game for NL50 so let's see if they are correct or not.

Do I believe in myself? Yes I do but like allways, everything in my life wasn't easy and I've to work hard, play more that another guy. It's a fact.

I'm playing on a site without HUD so may graphs are going to be in excell.

Deposit 300euros to play nl10 but I'm on a sick run losing every pot with an equity of 80/20 or more. Negaive variance everyine knows it, everyone get it.

In this site I'll playin till a beat nl25 and then move to another since I've got some sweet RB deals.

Probably posting graphs evey week or day don't know yet.

PS: sorry for the english, isn't my main language,

gl playing beside fulltime job ,it can be very hard sometimes

Probably the most honest intro to a journey ever!

Which site are you on?

Hi Jon

I was on Unibet but after talking to a pro friend of mine he is correct: the fact that player changes SN and we can't take notes it's an disanvantage for me. So I moved to bwin and am avoiding fast tables, sticking to my bread and butter, regular tables and well it's been different... getting quite suckouts and poorly playing

but I like partypoker.

Every Sunday I'll post graphs if I could figure out how to put them here. and plenty hands for discussion

Just 2 hands of this sessions:

Hand 1

ok, I don't like to post HH with the sn of any player (it's possible to do this here?)

this hand is very simple, the action of villian shows lot of strengh and I might let go the hand OT but for the 2-3hours that I played I notice that he does this with TP so is an easy shove.

Hand 2

This hand might be more interesting, preflop nothing special, flop ok, turn some might say that I've 2 pairs and a blocker to flush but what range that calls my cbet multiway? there I only can see draws, in this limit are few players that play draws aggressivly. So I need to check to see if I'm drawing dead and in fact I'm dead.

Does anyone bet OT and why? I believe that's a big mistake.

Hi,

Yesterday I played only 30minutes, it was cooler after cooler, one of that day and I raged quit the session.

In this days couch and TV are better.

Quitting sessions is good if you are tilted or not feeling good so a huge wp for that! Not many people can do it and try to play longer to get out of it

@Jon-PokerVIP That's something that I learned the hard way but when nothing works out we only have one thing to do: quit.

Another 2 hand, for now nl4:

Hand 1

I had to bluff that river, it smashes my range and the villan well trys to steal very pots

Hand 2

Another player that tries to steal, with some sample I become a little calling station.

First week as gone and the results aren't great but I identified the leaks:

Basically BU and BB fucked me up so I'm working on them this week, for now listenning to videos during my work to grind in the evening.

What parts of that bb/btn game are you working on?

Just a bit of refresh of ranges (call, 3b, 4b) but especially on call 3b IP.

On post flop I believe that I've a very good game so I need to work out a range to battle with this guys.

well sorry for the lack of updates but I've got a lot of work..being vey tired and when I open tables I'm not very focus or motivate to play. This is and will be always my problem.

I believe that I have a little depression but I'm working on this,

This month the volume is very low (~10k hands) andI don't know how it is going, I have a program that controls my bankroll so I don't worrie about this, but to motivate me or forced me to play more I'll post every session results.

Starting today.

gl ,I myself @3k hands this month so you are fine
