Increasing my english skills - Looking for guys to talk about Poker [NL100 Zoom])

Hey Dennis,

Welcome to the English community.

You are not alone as there are plenty of guys who are blogging here to try and improve their English at the same time as their poker. Makes perfect sense imo.

Definitely better that you blog in English rather than me blog in German. That would be a real mess.

All the best for your exams

Laz

Thx Lazza

Results:

Bakersfield with English Blog :x shit they found me.

1: Vs Fish b/f for me. Small.. I mean Flush.. TTs.. 55s... I know he should have raised most of this but sometimes fish ain't that smart But yeah I would valuebet vs a Q or a two pair aswell.

2: I had smth similar a few days ago. You dont look good with FD and BDStr8 vs Set, but fact is they often do this with crap too in Sometimes its the Set, sometimes JJs+. Guess in a 3bet pot chances are good for an Overpair.

3: best bet! ^^

4: ♠_biggrin: ♠_biggrin: Now I'm happy I'm not NL50

Well for me super easy fold. But I dont take risks ^^ I mean, no matter what PP he has, you hve to catch your 6 outs right? And a complete braindead fish might even have the nuts (that would be funny ^^)

€ ah well, I see hes midstack.. ehhhm still fold for me. did you called? ♦

Haha was just tiltet because I called a 3-bet shove for 100BB from a fish with AK. I had this spot so many times and I said so many times to myself "call it off with AA only". Made the call and he had obv AA...so sick.

I know this.. I had a 1 table unknown fish pushing 100bb all in pf yesterday and I called with QQs. Basically because I've already seen people doing this with KJ, 22+ ... But Its 100bb wasted, he obv had AA. Okay, someone at skype said to me he would call, which maybe convinced me a little, too.

Welcome Dennis, good luck

thx pitabread

Need to play about 6K Hands untill the rest of the month. 4 days should be enough time.

Tomorrow we will have a school trip to the zoo

btw: If here are any NL50+ FR Zoom Players, you can add me in the Community

Delayed January Recap:

The month started like the December was: Badrun But I grinden on and I hope I grinded myself out of the Downswing. Additionly I reached the PlatinStar on Stars for the first time. Because of my important exams at the beginning of March I have to learn a lot, so I it is very likely that I will be back to Goldstar in March. But wayne, after the 12th of March I should have enough time to grind

January Graph: (It is 99,5% NL50 + 500 Hands NL25 with -50$)

Februar:
Do not have big plans for February. I just plan to play 30K Hands.
