Daaamn man, you're posting so many upwards sessions, when's the move to the next limit? ♦
Notifications
Clear all
At $160 I think. I do make some small mistakes sometimes, but I think i'm pretty much beating NL5 now. Only sessions lost were the ones where I took a little from my br and zoomed.. lol
I evaluate all my hands, and think a real small percentage could be played better. Those hands I place in the Dutch hand evaluation forum. I also keep improving theory and still reading online holdem secrets (2004). (But Sklansky books are finished, but need to be reread)
Sample is about 17000 hands NL 5 now.
I do feel I need to play my trouble hands a bit more.
99/TT/AJ , those sometimes put my in difficult situations.
Should we 3-bet with a 99 from an mp1 raise. . If we do, we're pretty much commited, since else it's a bluff.
When do you think it's time to upmove?

Hmm, so you think he has an ace there? Tricky spot, but don't know if I would been able to fold it.. 
I think I would have been tempted to play this hand too, did you have any reads on villian?
I think villain had something like Ax and since my hc's got dubbed at the river I didn't want to give away my money. Based on villains betting patterns last hands I was pretty sure I was beat at the river.

Wait for a better spot 
Good mornin'
I'm back after a long time. No longer MSS'ing. But I had to quit poker because my wife was pregnant and because of the birth of my son :). A month ago it started itching again and I logged in to pokerstrategy.com
I also saw that I had a BR of $15 dollar left on pokerstars.
After a couple of hands I started reading the articles and then watched a lot of video's. Recently I have finished my 5th poker book and i'm playing daily.
In the past I have played about 300k - 500k hands. But didn't have any history's anymore.
So after all theory i've started swimming in NL2. Because the pace was so slow I tilted a couple of times, but took that as a learning moment and started reading some poker psychology and watching schnitzel's video's.
Currently I'm playing pretty decent and will soon move up to NL5.
I've builded my BR up from 15 to 75 (with some extra on FT where I also was winning, so that makes my total bankroll $105. When I complete the bonus on full tilt i'll transfer it to PS).
You'll here from me soon

Hey moharith,
Welcome back. I sincerely hope we don't have to wait almost 2 years for your next post. 
That's a really nice giraffe as well.
Happy Grinding

But instead of tilting I changed my play. Evaluated the hands and kept playing ok.
So finally I finished the session with a +2,5BI after a 3,5BI loss at the start
