Hello to all pokerstrategy fans,
My name is Kaloyan from Bulgaria and I am 36 years old.
Before poker I was into eSports.
I started playing poker in 2008, and the main formats I played were tournaments and SNG. That's how I spent my time for 5-6 years until I was a student in the navy. Nothing serious. In the best of times I played 3-4000 tournaments a year up to $10. As the maximum amount I have earned per year is about $3000 with bonuses, rake, etc. I personally was happy with what I earned and lived a wonderful life, like any student and young person.
I think the next years will be successful for players who know what they are doing and have the desire. For many people, this will seem ridiculous or strange. But I believe that everything is possible. I have confidence, determination and with good discipline I will achieve 75% of what I want.
I'm a traditionalist as a person and everything I've learned about poker over the years is from pokerstrategy.com That's why I blog right here. I think the blog will keep me motivated and wanting to win. Re-reading what I learned, I am sure that with the knowledge I have gained I will fulfill the goal. The goal is very different from the game I've played at the time, namely SNG and MMT, which is cash tables NL10 +
Speaking of the goal, it is:
Poker room: Poker Stars
Format: Cash
Limits: NL 10
Tables: 9 max, Maximum 4 tables, no zoom table.
Bank and bankroll management: 25 buy-in (250$), not lowering limits. When the money runs out => Game Over.
Earnings per month: $1000, w/o rake or bonuses as I am starting from the lowest level at PokerStars and no initial deposit.
The idea is at a few tables to get the most value out of the cards by finding a way to make my opponents pay.
As software I use the free ones from pokerstrategy and licensed HM2. A bit retro, but I think it's enough for what I'm going for.
Since just talk and theory is very boring, I will upload my only graphics from the game that I have from the last years in poker.
These are all my NL 10 hands played on PokerStars in the database since 2017.

These are all hands played since 2024.

This is the graph of all hands played this month.
