A little Rasta bird: back in the world of poker?

RasTweet · 2012-03-08T19:34:27Z

Hello everyone! First things first Thanks for reading my blog! It's the first one ever for me so sorry if it's a bad blog, I just have to get used to it I guess. Why a blog? I started this because I had a locker room thread and I like posting stuff in there, just random stuff I want to share with the people. Poker or non poker related stuff. But no one reads that so I started this blog. And secondly I think it's nice to keep track of my 'achievements' in poker and set goals for my poker career. EDIT: Who am I? My real name is Timothy, I'm 22 years, I'm from the oldest town of Belgium and I'm still a student. I'm studying to become a teacher in electricity and technological education. The title Let me explain the title of my blog first. A Rasta is pretty obvious I think... I'm a Rasta. And No I don't smoke Ganja, I don't mind ppl who do, but I don't really feel the urge to smoke Ganja. True poker style with my glasses on &spades;_cool: The little bird is Tweety. My family and friends all call me Tweet. When I was about 10 years old it started with Tweety but the "y" at the end made it to long, so they left the "y" out of my name. But in the end Tweet stands for Tweety: a little bird (with a huge head) About my poker career My FT story My brother told me about PS, so I made an account thinking easy $$$ like soo many of us did! I started playing FLHE cash because I was scared of NL and the thought of putting all my money in at once =D Then I started playing NLHE but I was smart enough to start with NL2 &spades;_biggrin: Then I figures SnG's was a much faster way to earn $$$ so I started playing SnG's and nearly busted my whole role... I had about $5 left. At this time I started to use my mind and I started to study Poker. So I went back to NL2 and started playing the daily belgium freeroll on FT. I came 2nd twice and some min cashes. So now I recovered some of my roll. Then I stopped playing the freerolls and started playing Rush and made a lot of profit in a very short time (like the graph shows). So I builded up to $180 or so and moved up to NL5. And then Black Friday "stole" my whole BR :( My giraffe when I started playing Rush My Party Poker story I was lucky enough to experience the generosity of PokerStrategy because they gave me a second BR on Party Poker. And there isn't much to say tbh. I never liked Party, hated it from the first day... So I cleared the 'bonus', took my BR and ran &diams; I went to 888poker. My 888poker story So I took my BR and put it on 888 poker. This was the 13th of January I think. I deposited $80, they gave my $90 and I builded it up to $170 now. I made most of my profit on NL2FR. Then I moved up to NL6FR when my BR was about $130, played there for a couple of days. Then I moved to SH and been slightly winning on SH. I'm just getting used to SH now and I really like it! My graph on 888 so far And this graph shows how I'm doing on the NL6 SH tables. I can make a proper profit but very fast after that I loose it all again... Goals in poker :spade: Watch all the episodes of "pink performance" and "move it move it" by TwiceT :spade: Watch even more videos. :spade: Do my best in the poker study group that I'm in. :spade: Read all the silver articles :spade: Review all my sessions! :spade: Post some hands for evaluation every day! :spade: Move up to NL10 Soon. :spade: Be a winning player on NL10. :spade: Move up to NL25, but I can't put a timeframe on that. I don't know if these are any good, it's the first time I really set goals for myself, Don't know what to put in them... We'll see, maybe I'll Edit it later again. Music And last but not least music! Music is very important to me! I listen mostly DUB. And no thats not Dubstep, I listen to Reggae DUB! So huge scoops, Huge baselines, Meditation style!! King Earthquake's soundsystem. I think he has double this, providing proper Bass to shake every organ in your body! Following videos I'm listening now. The end I hope I covered all with this first post. I will try to update often enough. I don't have any goals for now to type here. I first need to think about them properly. I hope this was 'interesting' to read. I know my english isn't the best in here but I try to make it an enjoyable read. Regards RasTweet

Hey guys!

Today I got myself together and deposited on Unibet again. I figured I should man up and stop tilting because of the fish.

So I deposited €60 and have €92,52 now :f_biggrin: So yeah had a nice session. Probably not sustainable but hey.

One of the first hands though I had AK on JAA, what does the fish have? Yes he has JJ :facepalm:

But nough rambling here's the graph.

Music for today Well more music for the month ♦ I grinded with this in the background today.

Happy grinding!

Hey guys!

I'm on the phone so sorry for typos. But I'm at school aka work and I'm bored so I'm writing here to keep myself busy.

Yesterday I had a disxussion with DrD which proved I'm a fish :facepalm: Well for half of it I was right but long story short I've been valuetowning myself possibly.

After that I had a my 2nd session on Uniber which started awefull ie my AA got cracked by Q9 :facepalm: But then I turned it around! And I ended with 4BI's in profit!! NICE

Since I've joined Unibet I've made €80 and I've only deposited €60 I'm a happy little Rasta bird! And I still have to get rakeback.

Ok people are here now. Not bored anymore.

Hey ras glad things are going well! Keep crushing! ♦

Thought about going back to unibet about a month ago, but wasnt too sure because of the high rake there even after rakeback

Everybody will eventually run worse than they thought was possible. The difference between a winner and a loser is that the latter thinks they do not deserve it.

Hi guys,

Nice read this thread, keep it up mate. I have read some but not all of this thread if I'm honest. We have crossed paths here before, as you posted on my fold equity thread. I have started a thread on rake back if you could please help.

It's nice to know that others go through the same trials and tribulations trying to succeed at this game.

Rake back?

Thanks,

Zach

Hey Zach!

Thanks for dropping by! Well I'm not the best blogger in the world but I'm writing down stuff from time to time of what I think, what happened...

And I've been going thru a lot of trials and tribulations the last couple of months! And a lot due to my own. Looks like I'm turning it around though.

Unibet

SO heyho! I played a session again on Unibet. Omg I'm running ............ I'm not going to say it and flick the doomswitch!

Here's a graph that'll tell the story. It's almost all nl10 and a very tiny little bit of nl20 but almost not worth mentioning.

Music for today This one is for all the old people in here :f_biggrin: And because it's been snowing here again :f_love: It's 30 degrees colder then last week I like!

Happy grinding!

Hey guys

So after my hotrun I went down fast! All because of yesterday really. I had a -5BI day yesterday.

Today started off meh. Had a session on PP and I've grinded for 1,5h only to be BE.

But then I started playing on Unibet! At first I was sooo carddead but then things turned around! and dadaaaahhhh

IIRC this is the best session I've ever had!

Music for today I've grinded with a lot of different music in the background but this really seems to do the trick for me. I've listened to a lot of reggae of course but the problem is that I know most of the songs and I start to sing along. Singing and playing doesn't work really well. So this is the perfect music imo

Happy grinding and drooling at my graph :f_biggrin:

Hey guys!

Snowboard
I don't think I said this here but 2 weeks ago I bought a new snowboard because I busted mine on holiday :facepalm:

And tomorrow I can pick up my new bindings as well :f_love: Really looking forward to that! I order the black one but apparently they delivered another color and I'm soooo happy they did!

Poker
Have I told you I run like ...... Oh right. Well it's still going! This is today! First on PP. Meh :rage: All nl10FF

This is Unibet :f_love: Mixture of nl10 and nl20

In bb

Spoiler

Not going to post this month yet. The graph looks a bit weird but going to correct way for once in a very long time!

BR
Today I've reached the biggest BR I ever had! I'm hoping it's going to keep in growing from now on!
$796,88
589,69 €
Might be a bit off due to exchange rate etc.

yes I know I'm a nit and I have the BR for nl20€ and I'm working on it. I'm not really in a hurry. I'm happy the way it is right now and I don't want to push myself. Just keep my focus and the move will be made some day.

Music for today
Really didn't know what to post today. Don't know if I have posted this before and if I did I'm sorry. Here's our Belgian glory!

Happy grinding!

Hey guys!

Yesterday I had a losing session. I'm playing 4 tables of nl20 now and no nl10 anymore. That is after dinner, before dinner I always play a session of nl10FF.

Today I had a sweatsession w/ GxTwo and I just failed during the session :facepalm: After the sweat I logged on the PP and crushed FF ♦ +4BI there. After dinner it was nl20 time again (flex) And I managed to make a rather nice profit today again.

Spoiler

BR keeps growing and I'm "only" $120 away from my first $1k! :O SOOO excited!

Hi Rastweet,

Hope you are still staying positive and working hard at your game.

I now have my own blog which I started today if you are interested in taking a look.

Poker is not just Poker

I need assistance with some long and short term plans and you are the sort of guy who could probably be of some help.

Cheers,
Zach
