Hello!

At the moment of writing this I'm 35 y/o from Croatia, having full time job and play poker recreationally for about 5 years. Played at lots of platform but now I'm playing @ Pokerstars Zoom NL5 and 888 Poker regular NL4 and trying to put in Netbet so I can get SP. Highest limit I've played is NL10 at Everest and recently at Pokerstars Zooming NL10 (didn't go well :f_mad:), all FR tables or low variance poker.

I know basics of poker, yes I'm a fish, have read couple of books and watched videos but the most valuable book I read was „ The Mental Game of Poker“ vol.1 from Jared so I'm trying applying that text, not only to poker career but in life, general. Also reading PS article although they are outdated but for limits that I'm playing they are still applicable cause consider that atricles like a basics when starting playing.

This is my first blog, hope the only one, where I'll post graphs, hands i and other stuffs for Bankroll challenge. Although, my intention to start blog was when I reach at least NL25, I've decided to start right know to help me improving my game, learn from others i motivate me for this, I hope, long journey. I'll post weekly, monthly graphs and some statistics so come along....

This year:

First week of Bankroll Challenge went great, especially at 888 Poker while at Zoom it was another BE week, what really pisses me off. Hit a upswing at NL4 (888) and feel very comfortable and hope I'll improve my Zoom-ing. Later will post some hands with difficuilt decisions and spots.

See you soon.

Second week started very well, especially at ZOMM, making over 6 BI but then hit downswing with few coolers and mistakes. So, I've decided to play some regular NL5 tables and so far things are going great. I didn't quit ZOOM but at the moment think I'll play regular tables to rebuild some confidance and bankroll, ofc. ZOOM is killing me right now, and I feel something like this....

Spoiler

But also it's great for learning because of volume so I can implement some newly learned concepts. I'll try again with ZOOM when I hit 40 BI limit. At 888 things also going well, today started to play NL6, there aren't so many tables at this limit so I'll combine it with NL4. Overall, another week in green so I'm very satisfied.

First 2 days of week didn't start well, but I manage to end challenge week in green. I'm still adjusting at NL5 regular tables, it's softer than ZOOM, villains bluffs much more and it's lot easier to stack off. Made some mistakes with river calls, but it's hard to fold premiums and TP :f_ugly:, must learn that. NL6 at 888 seems a little tougher but there are more calling stations and made some profit also. My bankroll are almost same so this will be a challenge in which platform will first hit $300 goal, with 7 tables of NL5 at PS and 3 tables NL at 888.

I fail posting hands, but promise I'll find time to post and comment few interesting hands. Week 4 was so-so, hit downswing at 888 but major upswing at PS. I'm not satisfied with volume, and hope to put more hours in following weeks. It's good to see bankroll growing, maybe slow but I'm satisfied because still learn basics. I've got additional monitor plug into laptop so I can tile 10 tables (6 PS + 4 888) and so far multitabling is going good.

I'm not satisfied with volume in week 5, played around 4k hands but still ending in green. Weekend days were pretty up/down , it could be better but I didn't play my best or close to best game, maybe B and C-game. Sometimes I was playing tired so I didn't have sharp focus like usually. Also, I'm getting to secondary monitor and playing with 10 tables, so far so good and hope it will get better.

I've decide to take a shot and try to apply what I learn to the tables, part after part. I'll be still learning new stuff but try to concentrate and get focus on one particular thing when playing session. You know what it's say, you need 5 minutes to learn and lifetime to master. So, for this week and maybe next, will be preflop ranges (or, cc, 3bet). I'm playing with this ranges but sometimes I get wander off and play some questionable hands. So, main focus for playing will be preflop ranges and memorize them.

This are FR ranges so look at them and feel free to comment, are they to tight, loose, what about 3bet ranges, cold call, in what way are different from yours and etc. Maybe there are some errors in headline of pics but you what's real meaning.

HI srna10,

at a first look your UTG opening range is way to loose, not sure if you will make profit opening KQo, ATs and not even with 55 66 AJs QJs and KJs

Hi teddy and thanks for your comment.

Luckily, I'm making profit with those hands that you underline, although it's just some 10k hands combined from 888 and PS. Overall, from EP positions I'm making pretty decent :profit:, on 888 I'm making best profit in regard to other positions with 32bb/100 :f_thumbsup:. I need to improve my SB/BB winrate, that are spots where I bleed money :censored:

The sample is too small to get a conclusion, but i suggest to keep under close observation this possition to be able to adjust it if is the case ;)
