Your start looks promising. Maybe it’s also a good idea to pos graphs and/or hands to make you’re blog a little bit more entertaining to follow.

Further I wish you all the best to reach your goal of a bankroll of $1.000 :gl:

Best regards,

I've tried following your advice for myself as well - but the link doesn't seem to be parsing to a clickable hyperlink - any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? (it's currently displaying exactly as I type it in). Cheers :f_drink:

I would normal 4 bet and stack off pre-flop in a button against SB confrontation or the SB is a nit.
As played I couldn’t find a fold button either with my over pair on every street. So it looks fine played to me.

Cheers,

What would you do if u were in my shoes?

hi pianist, if BB is a fish, i would definitely call. raiser should have enough bluffs in range and most likely only 22,44 value combos. (from MP look) JJ i call here as you block value hands and you only get called by QQ+/strong FD and you fold his bluffs UTG could continue with. i wouldn't be afraid of giving a good price to BB as the only draw is FD there which is not nercessary to be in and also they don't have AdJd so therefore I don't expect JJ to raise often. maybe on nl5 they actually don't care idk. as played - if BB is a fish (looks like it is) he easily can spew so easy call imo. i'd fold to a reg normal raise size 3b flop.

Hej vonki =) Since I have a little more time now I will post some graphs and stuff :P I am well aware that reading such boring bankroll reports isn't very entertaining :) So far, I've used one of the free HUDs which doesn't have graph results but recently I managed to run pretty well so now I can use a portion of my bankroll to buy HM2 or PT4 :) Cheers!
