Nice to see you starting an english blog as well, keep us informed

ok here i`m going to put some more personal stuff. about my tilting sessions, and more of that stuff.

ok when i started playing poker i found myself a reasonable player. I`m pretty good in all kind of games, the less luck the better ♦. and started first on everest with al kind of shastas. here i managed with sit en go to get some dollars. but it wasnt going fast ebnough for me. so i threw away bankrollmanagament and was quickly broke.
i simply lacked te discipline to go from 0 to a nice ammount.

so i started looking for free money. the first free money i found was at vcpoker. and i started playing there. i played some tournaments and alot of other stuff. i couldn`t go + so after a couple of badbeats i tilted a little and registered for some mtt above my bankroll. and lost it all again.

i considdered myself a moderate player at that moment. but not good enough to make a deposit. i found it a waist of money. cause if i`m going to be a winning player i must learn alot.

so found another site with free money. this time my money went to titan. and boy this was a non stop tilting session. on the lowest stakes (cashgames) i got rivered alot. so i hoped that if i played a bit higher i got better players against me. wrong off course ♦.
in the end i was fed up with all the beats. i put it on heads up games with my entire bankroll.
first i won some. but eventually i lost.

after i was broke again i decided to stop playing poker for a while. if i tilt this much i cannot go really + i suppose.

after a while i wanted to played for real money again. and whent for a search (again) for some free money.

then i found pokerstrategy.

after that i played a lot. and also tilted alot. it is a big part of my game.

i`m not happy at all that i`m still tilting so much. you should think i gotta get rid of this.

i`m a pretty experienced player i suppose. but this part of me is very bad.

psychology was a part of my education so i should be a little bit good at it. but i can`t get it right in my head.

at some point i just get some sort of blackout. and start to do stupid things.

my tilting has two markable points.

the first one is started acting like a calling station. i see draws and am going to chase them. this always is the first tilting point.

the second and a bit more serious is the pushing with bullshit stuff.
one of my worst tilts was in a heads up game. i got runner runner outrivered. and reloaded and starting pushing any hand.
when i also lost this money i stopped and saw what i did.

afterworths i can laugh about it most of the time. the stupid stuff i do.

but its also very frustrating. cause this tilting has cost me alot of money. and its just a shame.

Hi marcel,

It's good to hear you recognizing your tilting problems. I think this is the first step in fixing them. I have also lost 2 free 50$ bankrolls after making it to 350$, then 1000$ and loosing it all both times. For me it wasn't really tilting like you, but more playing way over my bankroll. Once I played PLO200 2 tabling with full stacks when I only had 800$ in my account and barely new how to play PLO. I've learned to NEVER play over my head now.

Everyone makes mistakes and its how we learn from them, and not make the same mistakes again that is important I think. For you it sounds like you need to identify your tilt earlier on while you're playing, when you become a calling station and stop playing immediately. Even if you just stop for 15min it can often be enough to get your focus back.

Best of luck, and hopefully we can both make this our last free bankroll we ever take

ok soon i will be making a bigger update.

but am playing omaha hi/lo at the moment.

omaha hi was too swingy for me.

sessions of 40+ 60+ and then a single tiltsession of 150- and 110-

still i made a profit ♦.

but i`m playing hi/lo right now.

the game is very weak and quite passive wich suits me fine.

so i hope i can continue with playing this game focussed.

Welcome in the English Community

gona edit my blog again i think.

since the last time i wrote mansion moved from ongame to ipoker. and i hated everything. so i moved some money to full tilt. for the rakeback. about 500 dollars. the rest i had left went to moneybookers --> my bankaccount.

however on full titl my 500$ were gone after two weeks. (i guess they call it full tilt for a reason)

i had about 500 dollar left on stars so started playing sit en go again. however i did not run very well.

so i now am playing 0,10/0,25 shorthanded.

and so one in a while a tournament.

the fun part on the tournaments are. i made some pretty nice ships.

i shipped and omaha tournament for about 500$

and last night i finisched 5th in a rebuy tournament for 1000$.

so i now have 1900 dollars and am kinda overrolled for 0,10/0,25. but i will stay playing it for now cause i am not completely satisfied with my level of playing.

i have a little bankroll on other sites to keep my status at least silver. cause my stars isn`t linked to pokerstrategy.

further i`m withdrawing every month abouth 10% of my bankroll. but i keep in mind to maintain a reasonable bankroll.

it just feels good to make some money out of poker.
