Hello everyone!
I decided to make a poker blog aswell, in hopes that this could make me a better poker player.

I am pretty young poker player from Estonia, my first language isn't english, so sorry about the mistakes I make, if something remains incomprehensible (hope this is the correct word) then feel free to ask. I started playing poker 4-5 years ago, on some weird site. I did pretty good there, so my interest in poker grew. Then I saw Pokerstars advertisements on TV, so I downloaded it. First few months I played with play money there, then I started going to freerolls, got some cents and builded my bankroll to total of 126$, which I made by playing 9 men 3.50$ SNGs. (it was 2008 I think). Then I found Pokerstrategy! With this sites help I reached total of 126$ bankroll, then I saw a video on youtube, where some guy played a tournament with buy-in of 1.10$, he won like 950$. I got really big interest in winning so much money at once aswell, so I went over to MTT's, unfortunately I did really bad there, my bankroll crashed to like 20$, thats the time where I quited playing poker. 2011 december I made a new account because I had forgotten the old accounts username and password.
Again, I started playing with play chips, made around 16m in them, then I found that there are some freerolls, which I started playing with couple of mates. I did pretty good there on times, so I got some cents again, WOHOO! After geting some cents on 2012 January I think, I played 0.25 cent 45 men tournaments. After geting my bankroll to like 12$ I started playing 1.50$ sngs, where I made my bankroll to like 175$ in a month or so,
then I decided to take shot on 3.50$s, where I did pretty good, now my bankroll is 383.35$, today I started adding some 7$ SNGs along with my 3.50$s.

My username on Pokerstars is "Exceiient"

Pic of my bankroll:

My goals of this month will be:

Be regular on 7$ sngs [ ]
Read book called "SnG Strategy" [ ]
Update this blog often [ ]

Nice graph my friend :)

Good luck on increasing that bankroll even more will be following

Btw you said you played 45 man sng's is this all 45 mans or when you switched to 1.20s did you start playing 9 man? Just curious cos i've started the super micro 45 man games and loving them

Why? $383 is like 54 BIs and if its Single table tournaments thats easy enough imo. If it is 45 mans then yeh sure maybe is a little loose i would prefer at the very least 75 Buy-ins for taking shouts myself to feel comfortable but each to their own i guess as long as you are prepared to move down pretty quick if things don't go to plan then go for it

Didn't make a lot of money today but a little =) I feel like I can beat 7$'s pretty easily, not 100% sure yet tho because I haven't played too many of them. When I open tables I open two 7$'s and four 3.50$'s, just to not get too big swings.
Running 10BI's below EV but it's cool I'm happy with the results =)

I've been busy so I haven't had time to write anything to blog, but now I got holiday!! for 1 week! I only played like 10 sessions of poker last 3 days, but my bankroll increased pretty nicely which I'm really happy about. I downloaded League of legends about 1 week ago, it's pretty fun, but I feel like poker is more important for me, so I'm trying not to spend too much time on there when I could play poker! I feel like I should put some goal for myself to play atleast x amount of sessions per day.

Bankroll since last update: 345.19$
Bankroll now: 383.34$
Profit: 38.15$

Once I reach 400$ I will start playing 7$'s again! Hope I'll do better on these then!

Sadly I only played one 8 table session today, results were decent tho, ran a bit above EV I think. Don't have time to write anything more at the moment, gonna go to cinema in a second, peace out!

I downloaded SNG Wizards free trial today, hope it will improve my skill;) I did the experts quiz for first time there, got 80 correct out of 100, so I definitely need to do it again until I'll do it for 95%+! I'll probably start posting some interesting hands on this blog aswell.
