Hi
As some of you might know, I'm currently play NL200sh and a little PLO, but I thought I'd make it a little more interesting and share with the community, so I decided to celebrate my 1000th post by starting a video blog.
Here's what you will find in here:
- My progress on NL200
- My PLO bankroll building (*)
- The occasional "surprise" ![]()
* I'll be starting with 100$ on pokerstars (probably) and try to build a roll at PLO, always keeping a 50BI-minimum rule.
Anyway, here's my first video, enjoy! link to video
My (perhaps boring) story: (for those who don't read raisydaisy (just a copy-paste))
I’m a 19 year old student from Switzerland (not the “German”-speaking part, thankfully) , and I discovered Hold’em about a year ago, when we started playing in between lessons for a few cents.
I realized there was a lot of money to be made by just learning the game, and a little later, by searching a bit on internet, I came across PokerStrategy.
I started off very slowly, didn’t play too much, and I was just generating rake on micro-stakes FL. Went broke once or twice, and didn’t learn very much.
Several months later, around December I guess, I decided to play more seriously. I had about 200$ from TAF.
I played a few low-stake SNG’s, and was up to about 300$. I then got lucky in a big tournament, won 2600$, and with that I had the bankroll to play NL50 SH. It took a little getting used to, but shortly after I was winning about 5.5-6ptBB/100.
I’ve since moved up to NL100, and even though variance is killing me on my first 22k+ hands, I hope I’ll have enough progress to write about here ![]()
(update - I stopped sucking and won ~4.6ptbb over 25k hands then moved up to nl200, where I have ~5-6ptbb/100.)
Now since you’re here, you probably have nothing much to do, so I figure you won’t be too bored to read about my goals in poker ♦.
Well mainly it’s all about improving my game. Being good enough to beat whatever limit I can afford, and make a decent profit, enough to live off of eventually. It isn’t particularly urgent, I still have over a year of studies in front of me, so I can play with no pressure, just to get better.
At the moment I’m concentrating on SH NL, but I also play a little Pot-Limit Omaha (Hi mostly), and I think I’ll try speed SNG’s again, see if I can make a decent profit there.
HU NL is also something I’d like to try, but Party doesn’t offer that, so maybe I’ll give it a shot if I move to stars…
Here's a graph of my current progress at NL200 (there's a few hundred hands of nl400 and 4 hands of nl600, that's all)
