haha, that´s a huge lol hand T2o made me laugh ♦

you will surely beat the cash game as you already learned a lot here at PS I guess. btw read the bronze BSS and silver BSS articles (most important advanced open raising and following, mhmm all of them are actually important ♦ ). It is such a valuable stuff. I have not learned anywhere else than on PS.com and it made me move to nl200 and beat it soon. and in the end to come work here

if I had time I would re-read these articles again. it really helps to read and re-read those

btw nice graphs, keep it coming

Yeah, I'll start reading the BSS section tomorrow. Allthough I play MSS, I play mostly against big stacks, so I'll have to understand, what are they doin'. I tried NL25 yesterday and it seems to be as fishy as NL10. I guess I'll stay there a bit longer until moving to NL50.

Btw I think my blog will need some threadsavers, so here's the first one

Spoiler

So, I played my first miniFTOPS today. After these 3 hands

Well despite working together for over 2 weeks, I wish you all the best with poker, real life & the ''extra'' workload from Cornie4ever

But please readd me on skype to work out the details.

- Gervinho

Hey Gerv,
thanks for wishing me luck, I will surely need it

More of those please! ♠_cool:

Bluff 3bet + bluff on the flop = nutz on the river. Yep, I'm such a fckn luckbox

Hey guys, I'm sorry that I didn't keep my blog updated, because I've been quite busy during last 2 weeks, suddenly all teachers decided, that we must write tests, so my typical day looked like: school -> some poker (only to reach 125FTP for iron man) -> learning for tests -> bed -> school.

I wanted to play 50k hands this month, but that was a big fail, actually I'm surprised that I managed to play half of that. Although I began to play CG this month, it looks like this was the most profitable month in my very short poker career

Here's the graph (10k hands on nl10, 1k on nl50 and the rest is nl25)

Goals for April:

Move to NL50
Qualify for the "iron" iron man
watch all advanced MSS videos again
Purchase a music keyboard and start practicing 1hr/day (I've been thinking about that for a long time, and I need some activity to clear my head)

Cheers!

Great run on NL50 so far, I expected it to be tougher but even on this limit there are many donks. If it goes like this I'll be able to hit NL100 next month ♠_cool:

First two days on NL50:

This is beautiful ♠_love:

64o. Maybe the turn raise should have been higher, any flush draw would have good odds to call.

Yesterday was my milestone in my poker career, my BR reached $1k.... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. It's a great feeling ♠_cool: However, I should study more, I still didn't post any of my hands sice I started with cash games, I only go through marked hands and I try to figure out, if I played that hand correctly, imo that is just not enough, I should implement posting hands into my goals. I remember when I started playing cg, one of my goals was to read bronze+silver BSS section, and that was another fail, hopefully I'll deal with that this week.

I'm running quite wel on NL50, I don't have a big sample, I only played 6k hands so far and my winning rate is about 12bb/100. I stil feel I sometimes do some retarded stuff, mostly when I bluff 3bet with thrash and cbet, I need to fix those leaks. Anyway, here's the graph

Cheers!

Quite good run yesterday, I started with FR and I think I played well, I even tried rush nl50. However what I won there I almost immediately lost, but I won't complain. With rb $110+ ♠_cool:
