My coach <3 Nice job Tomas!

To everyone else on my team, Good Luck and may EV be on your side in 2015!!!!!!

Tilted this reg for the next hour or so with this hand. Feel free to comment on how bad the defend was. I know it was horrible. But one thing you must learn to become a poker pro is... You never win if you fold! ♠_biggrin: Let the spew begin!

Here's where Villian should always fold otr with his hand but it's so tough to fold a set even though I'm not supposed to have any bluffs in this spot. ♦

I probably jam all rivers. ♦ Lucky for me I'm good at hitting. But yeah 77 should be folded against my range unless you knew my flatting range then it is a bit of a fistpump call.

If you follow this blog, get ready to spew hard.

Anyone want to do a challenge where we move up the stakes from any BR, let me know.

GL @ Tables!

Great to see you posting again sir!

Also nice to see you running well so far

GL for 2015, can't wait for more updates & maybe WSOP trip report

Nice intro, quite the giraffe there Like the 22 hand, nice that the logical hand-reading path seemed to work out here. I wonder if rationale behind Villains line was trying to get a fold from AK rather than a pair.

Can it be a bad thing to encourage more people to call 3bets with Q♥:5♥:? I hope not

Some pretty sick hands already ITT

Challenge for you - become top reg on NL200 zoom with highest win rate pre RB?

GL will be following the thread super closely

Subbed for occasional inspiration.

Nice to hear it is possible to have graphs like that and still make mistakes/be human.

Hey Bsb,

Why not opt in to our Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge. You could even call your blog 'Get Rich or go Brokesobroke Tryin'.

GL at the tables

So I logged into one of my accounts to see if I could find an account where I haven't played but have little amounts of money.

So now we have the account... What should the challenge be?

Of course I have to play my usual games but I will play and use this account as a BR building challenge and hopefully I can show you guys how it should be done and the adjustments that people make. So I will take this 168.52€ and turn it into 10k€. Take that 10k€ and gambooool it on WSOP ME. If it's a failure, then I guess we still gamboooooooool it up!

I will try to update and I will set a goal until June to get this done as I will be playing my other usual games as well. Make this site just for fun. I'll probably use 17bi's for 10€NL and then move up at 30BI's for 20€NL and then 35bi's for 50€NL and up.

It would be sick to see you taking the 168 and turning it into a WSOP ME buy in, even sicker if you go on to win the ME!

I can't wait to see how you adjust to the lower limits, please make sure not to forget to post the awesome hands of regs tilting left and right ♠_ugly:, I'll be following this blog closely.

Good luck!

First session in the books. I know the biggest adjustment I should make is not bluffing people at these stakes. But they are sooooooooooo bad. So probably have to tone down my vpip/pfr/3b a bit. Rake is rather high at these stakes so if I come out 6bb winrate + RB then it should be a smooth ride.

The hardest part will be getting the roll to ~700€ but once there it should be smooth sailing.

I don't know about playing 100vpip at 50nl but anything lower might be a cool challenge. 20k hands might be too much limping it might screw with my game.

No interesting hands yet but I'm sure there will be plenty to come at 10NL and 20NL.

B2B will be watching to see how it's done indeed! Good luck dude!!

Wow, menthor having a new blog, sick! And also doing a funky challenge? Even sicker

This challenges seem all too easy for you though...maybe you should try something like... "Running above EV over the next 100k hands." Now that would be a challenge

Anyway, can't wait to see some crushaments, GL GL!

GL with your challenge and thx for being in! You've got till beginning of May, as the WSOP will start shortly thereafter :-)
