Hello all,
I've decided to write here my experience in poker.
I play for some mounths, a few. i started playing homegame, with some friends, then freerolls on some sites, untill i discovered on a blog pokerstrategy. i got my 50$ on mansion poker, and start playing.
At first i was trying to stick to SSS, but lack of discipline made this a bad experience: some wins, some loses, more loses:D my bankroll was down to 20$. Playing still SS i managed to rebuild to 50$, but SSS was not for me...
I really think SSS is for someone with very much patience, but not for me.
about my style... i like to see the flop, i'm not suck a tight player, but i'm trying to bet on the flop only i really think i have the best hand. i take advantage of late position, witch i think it's very important. in EP i fold A9, unless they are suited; i like playing the connectors, and middle and low pair, this ones beeing considereted by me some cash bringers, when you hit a set on the flop.
some other thinks...in last two days i rich 125$, changing but one thing in my game: searching tables with players per flop>35%, and a average pot, for my entering stack size...
I now play on 0.10/0.15 ring tables, buying in with 4 or 5$, and staying there untill i finish the session - even i rich 30$, i dont exit the table, but take more care not losing my hard wining moneys.
I want to post here alomst every day one hand, witch i hope will be analized by the more experienced players. i think one day i post a wining hand, the another day, a losing one.
btw now i have 125$ ,after 2-3 sesions with 20+ winings.
here is one hand i lost today:
