Hey kevsaf,

Welcome to the English blogs.

Lol. I should have listened to my mom too.

But that is one serious graph. 20BB/100h and a positive red line. Glad you play on a Swedish room otherwise I would be telling you to remind me to avoid you at all costs.

Awesome work and keep it up.

Laz

Thank you Lazza

I will probably move to another room in the next few months, the traffic is so low at higher stakes.
I also want to start grinding in the morning

Nice journey.
Looking forward to succeed at other sites and climb limits.

I wonder is there anything specific about the svenskaspel (rakeback) or the player pool?
When I was for some period in Sweden I met a guy that played poker on svenskaspel as summer job and the results were great.

*Few tips on how to maintain such a redline + blueline would be splendid.
or a video.

GL at tables.

When I was for some period in Sweden I met a guy that played poker on svenskaspel as summer job and the results were great.

It's only 2.5% rake and a soft competition.

*Few tips on how to maintain such a redline + blueline would be splendid.
or a video.

I actually think the redline comes from exploiting regs, I try to find tables with only regs at it, I like it because I'm improving much more.
I will look into it more and try to write something down or make a video about.
I probably need some time for this, It took me about 5 minutes to write this post

Thank you and goodluck at the tables Ilioas!

I bet that English for you is easier than Swedish for me because of svengelska.
It took me around 2 swedish courses in 4 month and then a summer to practice it to master at basic level.
Now I probably have forgotten it because of I do not use it.
Nevertheless I try to refresh it by Sälskapresa episodes.

English is a lot easier than swedish, swedish is hell even for me ♦

Sälskapresa is nice, probably seen by every swedish ♦

Didn't play yesterday because I played bad and run pretty bad the day before yesterday.

So, new month, lets take a look back on April.

Overall I played good, at the end of the graph is where a reg started to 3bet me every hand, we played 5 tables and 4 of the tables he sat directly to my left, which made it pretty hard to fight back, but feel I learn a lot from it.
Fight back a reg who has position on me all the time is hard, but I thought to myself that this is a pretty good spot to train myself to play good aggressive poker out of position.

I think I dropped about 4-5bi vs him. Today I review all my hands from that session and I made some changes in my out of position game, so thanks to him I found a lot of leaks in my game and I'm ready to take a fight again.

I'm going to play about 4x1.5 h session today and my main focus will be on pots out of position, so I will probably post some hands tonight or at the morning tomorrow

Aprils graph,

GL everyone

1/4 sessions done.

SB is fish, he play 46/17/0.0/1.2 (VPIP/PFR/3B/total AF), so he's very passive both pre and post.
My question is, should I,
1. bet/fold turn and river
2. check turn and bet/fold river
If number 2, what size would be good?

My thoughts was to go for number 2 in the moment, but after I reveiwed the hand, I like number 1 more and bet about halfpot on turn and bet about the same on the river. But, if I bet halfpot on the turn I can't bet/fold on the river, the pot will be about 75bb's and he is left with about 50bb's. So maybe the best way is to check the turn and bet/fold river, after all, he is passive so i don't expekt him to shove the river as a bluff.
So after I review a bit more, I take line number 2.

Is there maybe a better line??

So, I run terrible and play pretty bad too at the moment, so I need something to cheer me up and challenge myself.
So I'm going to make a bankroll challenge, I'm taking 12bi and start at NL100kr (NL16$), which is one stake under where I use to play.

The plan look like this,

Starting at 192$ move up as soon as I have 192$+3bi on NL32$,
I'll move down if I loose those 3bi. This will keep on until I feel I have 0 edge left. So lets see how fast and how high I can go!

NL16 196$ - 288$
shots NL32 288$ - 384$
NL32 384$ - 576$
shots NL64 576$ - 768$
NL64 768$ - 1152$
shots NL128 1152$ -

And so on.

Wish my luck!!

Ended up with 1.5bi+.

It's the same opponent in all 3 hands,

This is the first hands,
