Poker - The Second Coming

Hey John,

Welcome to the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' bankroll challenge. We will be looking forward to your first update which you should post by Monday of each week in Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge - Reporting thread. Due to the Xmas holidays, it is not necessary to update until January 04th, 2016.

Have fun

Laz

Just a quick update to keep track of my deposits

25 in pokerstars
20 in coral poker
25 in PKR

Things are so so. Bankrolls gone up mainly due to bonuses and winnings from free tickets from new sites.
Been having a bad couple of days on the tables got it in good but a lot of coolers, especially on unibet. That site really hates me lol. I dunno whats going on there it's been really bad last 2 days. 3 bet all in with kings pre flop called with 52o and lose to a straight is probably the worst example. The players there seem really fishy but really lucky at the same time. If it continues i'll prob just quit the site as it's not linked to my pokerstrategy account and i don't really like you can't minimize the windows down so far.

Merry christmas to everyone

please to be here

Quick update on how things stand.

Current balances
Pokerstars 79.68
Coral 36.94
PKR 28.06
Unibet 61.20
Not deposited 110.00

Bankroll 315.88

Hands played (cash) around 1500 (hard to count at unibet)
Tournaments + Sng big fields played 42
Sng (9 handed or less) 8

Quite happy with my progress so far showing a profit of $65 although i do have some bonuses to thank for that.
Unibet has still been really annoying me at NL4 so i moved up to NL10 there even though it is against my bankroll rules. I did manage to recover some of my losses though. Cleared a 4 euro bonus there so still a little down on the tables but things look a lot better than they did.
Pokerstars is going ok. I mainly play tourneys there, no big wins but reached cash a bit
PKR i am only just starting and coral i am waiting for them to unlock my bet limits so i can play the speed tables.

Not back at work now until the 4th of january so planning to get some big sessions in (barring tilt - if i feel myself tilting i will walk away)

Going to try my luck at some satelites sunday for the big tourneys. Not gonna do to many though don't want to eat into my bankroll too much other than that it's grinding and more grinding.

Trying to do some study every day. watch a video or 2 a day and do some hand analysis see where i can improve. (plenty of room for improvement)

Other main thing is i need to stop my biggest leak. I hero call way too much. Hit a maniac today on NL10 on unibet that was in nearly every hand and raising flop turn and river nearly every hand. He was dominating the table and i got caught a couple of times hero calling him. Did manage to trap him in the end though and left the table with 23 euros so was all good eventually.

Looks like you're off to a good start!!

haha i was. things have gone a bit wonky.
For the record alcohol and poker don't mix lol
recovering slowly but its an uphill struggle

So after a bad xmas due to alcohol mainly sigh. Here is how things stand.

Deposits made
Pokerstars 40
Unibet 20
Party Poker 10

Current balances

Pokerstars 58.77
Coral 38.35
PKR 40.24
Unibet 38.49
Party Poker 24.38
Not Deposit 40.00

Bankroll 240.23

Hands played around 5000
tournaments 25ish
sngs 10ish

Overall down 10 from my starting bankroll. I completely wiped my balances at pokerstars and unibet over xmas and had to re deposit. Played drunk and made some bad calls. Stupid but lesson learned. If i'm drinking then i will stick to the tv in future.

Still trying to find my medium. Zoom is not for me so i will be leaving that be.
I enjoy tournaments do well early and middle stages but when it comes to late stages i try to push. Often get caught out. but once i make the money the steps are so small i figure its either min cash or final table. Too often it's min cash but one day its going to work out.
SnGs are ok if times short. I do particularly well at these on the Unibet site where the opposition seems a bit softer. I am also finding NL10 a lot easier than NL4 on Unibet. So hard to range opponents at NL4 as they seem to go with any 2. So despite my bankroll not allowing NL10 play i am going to stick to NL10 and take a risk.
My plan is to stick mainly to tournaments and SnGs now. I will continue with cash games at Unibet and maybe play a few elsewhere occasionally.

Hopefully i can recover some of my losses over the next week we will see.
