Great Blog! ♠_thumbsup:
I will start in the SPINs very soon, so I'm looking for other people to talk a bit in Skype about theory, ranges etc.
If you're interested, pls add me.
Skype Name is phantom07-ps.de
I wanna start at the 7s and go up soon to the 15s. Roll is high enough, because I played HUs to 400$ before. Played some Blast's on 888, but i do not think, they are profitable with this structure.
I think I'll play at Stars.
Just finished reading a blog , I think is better to call this a "PokerWannabe" blog.
Our hero who said is a " professional poker player " started a blog . He will start from a bankroll less than 1 usd , playing micro spins and go.After a while he changed to sng 45 , then to cash zoom.
Im curious if in the end he decided what format fits for him
.
One advice dont multitable while you playing micros , at the begining study and focus on few tables is crucial, taking the best decisions is more important than volum.
Dont lose time with poker trying lot of formats or platforms just because there you run good for a short time. Choose a format , study that format and focus only on that if not you will always pe a microstakes "pokerwannabe".
You will not make money at micro but learning the game and focus to take the best decision will help you to improve and go up in stakes where the money are.
My Head is Spinnin'
I think in this days quality is more important than quantity.

Villan is a regular player.
When he donks from BB most of his range is Tx or 2 pairs . But when the flush come and he bet small i decided to shove because i dont have a diamond in the hand and maybe he can still pay me with his 2 pairs or T with a diamond. If he have the flush i will take it like a cooler but i think by shoving here he can still find a call with his 2 pairs or a T + a diamond.
Anyone take another line and just call turn?

change this to "lower the cbet frequency and tighten the pf ranges a little vs rec" This will allow you to spew a ton less chips but still let you make winning triple barrels. At least in theory... I see some guys call the river on a board like 488TT with 49 ♦Otherwise, the blog seems cool. Maybe post some interesting hands?
Good luck!

Actually. You should both increase cbet frequency and vpip versus recreationals.
Good spot for bluff ???

I think is a good spot for bluff to try make him fold an A or 2 pairs. If he have a K most of the time i think is gona bet the straight on the turn because are already 3 cards for a flush and if he doesnt have the K with a spade I dont see him check that turn.
I like my bluff but i dont like my bet sizing . I would go for a pot bet and not overbet shove.
