[Closed] FTP down, hey stars! plo25 - Recent ding! :D

So had my first session, mainly to get Silver today on Rush week. (Or maybe this Mystery thing, not sure how many FTP it is each day, but)

Going to another city in Norway today, so only had time tonight.

Anyway, was a really nice session, up 40$, so have a BR of 1290$.

Todays graf just for fun:

And an interesting hand:

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) - Full Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Hero (CO) ($35.50)
Button ($35.62)
SB ($33.67)
BB ($70.90)
UTG ($16.72)
MP ($25)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8, 8
UTG bets $0.75, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.75, Button raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $1.25

Flop: ($5.10) 3, 2, 8 (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $2.50, Hero raises to $6, Button calls $3.50

Turn: ($17.10) 10 (2 players)
Hero bets $11, Button raises to $27.62 (All-In), Hero calls $16.50 (All-In)

River: ($72.10) 6 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $72.10 | Rake: $3

Basicly, standar call pre. And since we are so deep, and he 3-bets so small, easy call by me. Hitted the dream flopp.
Biggest pot of the day also, and it was the only pot i called a 3-bet with a pocket pair under TT, hence the small 3bet.

Breakfast!

Hey! Good luck at Rush: Seems like this'll be an interesting blog. A little piece of advice though, you can use a hand converter to make the hand histories more readable. I personally use this one: http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.php

I believe PokerStrategy has one of their own as well.

Good luck at the tables!

Sweet, thanks for that Now i didn't have to go look for one.

Yeah hopefully i'll have a fun ride through out the year, looking forward to it!

Nice to see a fellow norwegian here! I'm also playing rush, currently NL50 FR. Added u in the community section, PM me if u want to do a sweat session sometime. GL at the tables!

Hi, nice blog. Find really interesting BMR stile for moving up. I think I will use something similar

Thanks guys Yeah i hope so aswell.

Right now i'm in the army though, so the playing and updating will be very up and down. Really depends on what i have to do

Like had a 15 hour day today, meh. But still got in 100 points for the Rush week on FTP

Going for silver 7/7 days, and 50$ bonus.

Went on a little dowswing, lost a buy in with AK vs AQ pre, and set vs flush draw, but oh well.

Still over 1200, and 200$ ish rakeback coming friday. Going to be epic. Will come with better updates, once i have time to sit down for real. Living in a tent for the moment...

And btw, yeah i really like this BRM method. It's really safe, and it also gives perfect room imo in moving up, and adjusting to a new lvl.

It will be a good read, since I will try something simmilar.

Hope you don't mind if I "borrow" your BRM. I like it.

GL with your grind.

Thanks man. Sure borrow it. I feel that it's a really nice strategy so. Happy to help ♦

Hello. I'm trying to move up through shorthanded rush too, but I'm using aggressive BR management, 20+5, instead of 50+10. I currently have 30BI for NL50 and I'm trying to get established there. I think 50+10 is too nitty. You're not going to go broke if you use this sort of BRM, so why not be a bit more aggro with it? You learn faster the higher the limit you play. It took me two attempts to get from NL10 to NL25, and this is my second try at NL50. Good luck and I will follow your progress.

following your blog, it's gonna be intresting, I'm playing same thing fr nl25 rush, see you at the tables mate...

Hehe understandable.

But i'm experiencing huge swings, so i need a big roll not to tilt so much

I'm on a 300$ downswing atm, so my roll is down to 1003$.

It's mostly OK play and running bad, however, thats far from good enough, need to play good and run bad atleast. But will get a nice rakeback tomorrow, and some realy relaxing. Having way to long days, and trying to get.

Anyway, will come with more this weekend

So, i'm experiencing a major downswing on the Texas part. It's prolly cus i'm not 100% rested while i'm playing. Playing OK, but running bad as hell.

Anyway, will try to rather only play when i'm 100% focues on the stake i'm playing.

It's going OK though, won some nice on PLO, and got a rakeback of 183$ (Sick for playing NL 25 lol, 1/6th of roll)

Getting a 50$ bonus from rush week on FTP also, but i'll take that when it comes.

It's been a couple of really hard days in the army, long hard days, and my tummy is fucked up. But hey, getting in shape!

Anyway, i'll post some grafs of the nice 350$ downswing later, and some interesting hands maybe.

Current roll: 1220$.

Main goal will just be to get in over the green line this month, currently down two buy ins, nothing much, but. Just keep on playing A-game!

Hoping to be shotting at NL 50 in the end of august / start of september, that would be awesome Hence i cannot play that much all the time, but there will allways be some!

Love having a nice and steady roll, and just playing poker whenever i want, cus i really freaking enjoy it. Will also play some PLO, don't have the tracker atm, so maybe i'll buy the full version of PT3.

Thanks for all the nice messages guys, just ask any question if you're wondering about something

So back to post updates.

Have had a huge fucking stupid downswing on NL 25 rush, feel like im playing OK, but running bad as fuck.

It's like a 400$ downswing, 16 buy ins. Does not effect me too much, but it sucks

However, i'v been winning great in PLO, and also gotten some rakeback so it's all good.

BR is currently 1,329 $ Really happy with that.

Also i have an incoming 50$ Rush week bonus, and a 50$ mid-year iron-man bonus. And some rakeback next friday

Next month, does not really matter what happens. I'm just going to play the best poker i'm able to play and hopefully it'll go good. I'll atleast do my very best.

And now to graf and some hands:

I flop the perfect flop, hence i know he does not really have much, maybe a flushdraw or something if he calls.

Kinda pot commited imo on the turn there so have to call anyway, and it's kinda what i want so.

He End up showing 9 - 7 Of hearts, but but.

I'll post more later. Maybe a monthly update

So just a quick post before i go to bed

Been a really nice day, got my 50$ Rush week bonus, and won some in Omaha 25.

Bankroll: 1481$!!

Was acually up to 1550$ for a while, but started running bad like
Anyway, really happy with the current pace of things.

Will just keep trying to play my best, and hopefully i'll soon be to see at the NL 50 tables

So i fucked up, and for some reson, i lost 80$ on PLO 100 lol.

Not that it matters so much, but when i think about it afterwards, i just have NO idea wtf i was doing. It was really late, and i was going to bed, but noo.

Anyways, i'v found out that i have taken in 400$ into my account since 1.

Therefore, i deposited 100$ more hence i just got buttloads of cash.

Therefor my Deposit amount is 500$

Right now roll is 1500,34$

This is a profit of 1000,34$

After checking up pokerstracker i have played for 47 hours so far.

That's 21,27$/ hour.

As a punishment for my bad desition, i'll have to win 5 buy ins at NLHE 5, and NLHE 10, before i can go on playing "yeey"

But hey, atleast i learn.

Okey, so I'm fairly impressed by myself atm actually. Did not think i would win 5 buy ins at NLHE so fast. At least i won 25,07$ now, and are really impressed. Played fairly good, not 100% A game, but pretty close. (mostly due to 4 tabling)

Took me two hours. Anyway, now it's over to NLHE or PLO 10.

25$ at 0,02/0,05 = 25,07$ won (COMPLETE)
50$ at 0,05/0,10 = 12,80$ 25.50% Done

Hopefully back and running soon

70 ish $ rakeback incoming, and 50$ mid year bonus!

So i acually managed to become platinum on NL 25 / PLO 25. Not bad eh.

However FTP gambling licence got taken, and stuff is kinda unclear atm. I though still belive everything will be fine.

Not sure yet if i will take out all my founds from FTP the first moment i'm able to, or if i'll just keep on playing.

1700$ is alot for me to lose, but not crusial. Just got some cash in today from the army so it's all good acually.

Maybe i'll deposit 200$ to stars, and have some grinding, so i can acually do something. We'll see. Really love to play the game

So i deposited 200$ into stars, just have to play some.

Started to play PLO 10.

Really nice results first day. Got a 10$ bonus, for 1 FPP point.

And also won 48 ish $.

Was a total noob at my table that lost 100$ in 70 hands lol.

So anyway.

Deposit - 200$

Profit - 56,48$

Hourly - 64,22$ (lool way to good)

Hopefully i can build some kind of roll out of this. We'll see.

I'm atleast not giving up ♦
