Hi :f_grin:

I decided to start a blog to improve my game. I chose an English forum because I would also like to improve my English.

I have been playing poker for a long time, but I have always focused on the game itself rather than on strategy. It’s time to change that. I think that the pokerstrategy website is the right place :f_biggrin:

I am playing actually on GGPoker. I started three weeks ago with 20$ and I chose 100$ Welcome Bonus. I play SPINS but I’m also keeping an eye on AOF.

My actual targets:

Bankroll challenge

Starts: 20$
Target: 1000$
Actual 270$ (+50)
Game: Spins,

What to learn.
Ranges. (I am just starting to takie it seriosuly, but I already see that it makes the game much easier.)

Great, let's see where it goes! From $20 to $180 in threee weeks is a great start!

Did you also do the Honeymoon quests for new players at GG Poker?
What limits/ buy-ins do you play? And do you go up in limits while your bankroll grows?

Also, what is your poker experience?

Your written English seems fine to me :f_thumbsup:

Good luck with reaching your bankroll target!! _drink:

Hi!

I Started Honeymoon quests at the day which i started blog. I Found a list of tasks and I'm waiting for the 26th "Win a Bounty Hunter MTT" On the other hand, one of the tasks didn't appear(straddle), so maybe they changed that one also :f_rolleyes:

I'm playing 1$ Spins and 1$BI in AOF. The Idea is that I will stay here until 1000. I will withdraw some, new challenge and move to higher rates. I focus on strategy right now.

Bankroll challenge

Starts: 20$
Target: 1000$
Actual 230$ (+50)
Game: Spins, AOF

So I focused on AOF last week and it didin't go well :f_o:

I played 10 000 hands and didn't hit a jackpot. It should be hit around 9 000 with my ranges. So 0,07$ fee per hand gives - 70$
Rake: 0,06$ per hand gives - 60$
All in Fortune jackpot is another 0.07$ which gives us another -70$

GG AOF fees

I achieved profit almost 10/100 bb (5bb above All in Adj) it's +100
All in fortune Jackpot - i dont know how to check it. It doesnt appear on my Timeline. So I assume that the balance is 0.

To sum up. Its -130 + 100 = -30
But is should be: -50 (All in Adj diffrence) +65 (jackpot) = -15 PokerTracker shows 18h (most of the time I played just one table to improve and learn ranges) There is also Fish buffet but In my opinion it still doesn't look good so... I'm quitting from this game.

Next week I'm going to focus on Spins and move up higher stakes.

Bankroll + 20 (spins :f_love: )

Ps. If someone who plays AOF regularly is reading this, I'd be happy to talk about the game. I also plan to look for information about the strategy but not right now , the variance is too high.

This time I mostly played 3-SPINS. Again, I see this is the game, I play the best poker, right now. Even though I didn't have much time to play, I achieved a nice score.

I am going to focus at it fully. I had an Idea durig the week to try Cash. Becasue my game with 100bb + is really bad, I think. I like MTT so this is a serious problem :f_confused: But not this time. This time I would like to higher stakes finally.

Plan for next week. I am going to play agressive BM 50 BI. Is was 100 BI+ Quickly eliminate bad sessions and use them to improve the game. I will try to reach 10$ games.

Bankroll +120

Thx for the great meassage I didn't know :f_love:

This is more than what I lost during a $10 spins session :)

The plan for next week is the same as last time. However, this time I am mostly going to play $5. The $10 games will have to wait for a better strategy.

Bankroll +105 I don't count tickets from HoneyMoon (100$) and extra $ from PokerStrategy :)

This time It didn't go so well. The first part of the previous week was really godd, and I decided to try $10 again. And than the madness started :f_ugly: To make long story short. The first act was sick with coolers, bad beats etc. But the second act was on me. I didnt move back to $5 and started to play higher variance game. And i lost almost 50% of bankroll :f_rolleyes:

Bankroll

Almost the same story :f_biggrin:

But I didn't play a lot. I spent time on something else. I hope to focus on strategy this week.

I didn't play a lot again :( But this time I spent some time on strategy. I am going to make a schedule to change that. Spending more time in the game and learning.

So, it's time to get back to reality after the Easter holidays. I didn't play, but I did some work with ranges. I thought it would help, but I see that during the game I still made many mistakes prefloop. I've changed my goals. I'd like to improve my game and add more tables. My current target is to play 4 tables at the same time. I've gone back to the $1 game, and I'm working with ranges to automate decisions as much as possible.

Bankroll
