Hi there ![]()
My name is Viktor and i'm a 18 year old student who lives in Sweden. I'm now starting a blog in the english community after a few failures in the swedish community. I've failed in the previous blogs by going broke because i've never been able to stick to my own BRM and the rules i've put up for myself.
There's not much more in life i enjoy except for poker, which probably sounds kind of sad, but it's really not
Just means that I can get in more volume, information and studying than many other players who has a life outside of poker ![]()
Why am I starting a blog here?
Well, first of all, it's to keep myself from making big mistakes BRM-wise. I've lost track of how many times I've gone broke by tilting and making bad decisions.
Become more active in the forums. We have this awesome community which i haven't used to the fullest, and I used to think that I don't need any help, because I am so good. Well, I was wrong, BIG time ![]()
Get better at english since I've lost some of my speaking- and writing-flow since my last english-lesson in school was about a year ago.
And ofcourse to hang out with all the awesome people here ♦
Lets talk poker ![]()
I started playing poker a little over a year ago when i was 17. I convinced my sister to make a 30$ deposit for me. I took my whole BR and sat down at a 0,50$/1$ NL table (good start, right?)
Then took it up to 140$ before i went broke with my flush against a full house. And a while after that I found PS and learned about BRM. I made a few deposits until march when I turned 18 '-.-
I pretty much made deposit after deposit and then my first big win came, about 800-900$. I started playing 26$ double stack tournies at FTP and a few days later i won 2100$. 4 days later I won 1600$ more in another one.
I made a 3000$ withdrawal and the rest in my BR disappeared when I played some 100-200$ tournaments. And now i couldn't make another big deposit, because the 3000$ i withdrew I had already spent. I had no thought about saving money "cause I can just go online and play a few tournaments and win more". Well, it wasn't that easy. I had no money, so I'd have to go play micros. Which hasn't been easy. Once you've played bigger tournaments, it's really hard to step back to playing micros. Atleast for me :/
So I've grinded micros for a while, mostly Super Turbos, but my edge is too small and the variance is too big, so I'll stick to Turbos for now ![]()
Not so long ago, I decided to make my last deposit ever. After I lost it, due to not sticking to my rules, I only had two shots left. The Iron Man bronze Freeroll and the 75k$ Madness freeroll on the 13th of November. Luckily I cashed in the Iron Man freeroll for 15$ ![]()
So now, 4 days later, I've been playing 124 1,20$ Turbo SNGs with a profit of 26,70$
Goals:
Re-read all the "Psychology & Didactics" articles
Post 30 hands a week in the Hand Evaluation Forums, not necessarily the english one and also a few hands in this blog
Update this blog atleast every day I've played
