Alright then gents some lowdown on myself before we get to the nitty gritty of my blog.
29 years of age/welshman/currently living in beautiful sydney with my wonderful wifey.
Been playing poker online and in real life for around 4/5years mostly ill admit as a losing player.I don't feel im a total spewing donk but obviously i have a LONG way to go to improve.
To start this year i decided to arm myself with some tracking software and get a decent amount of volume with stars.Due to real life commitments i cant play massive sessions in terms of time so i decided ZOOM will be the format i want to progress through the levels with.I also chose 6max over fullring as i prefer to play a little looser than fullring allows.
I started the year with 5nl but as you'll see through the following graphs things haven't gone particularly well and i am about to reinvest into a new bankroll ![]()
So too the numbers :
Since January i have played just under 25k hands of 6max poker.
I have a current winrate of -17.5 bb/100

What was crazy was i went on a super heater for the first 3khands and was actually at my highest winrate when first starting this adventure ever since then it seems i have been on the way further down and down.
My personal stats are:
17.6VPIP/15.4PFR/10.53bet/6.54agg
First off what i really need at this point is for someone to reassure me that even though im loosing im not doomed to be a looser forever!A lot of blogs i read are just super success stories with uber graphs growing through the roof. Does anyone out there have graphs showing them turning things around this would make me feel better and give me the confidence i think i need.
From now to focus i think i will be posting every sessions results on here so perhaps the community can get behind me and help me become the better player that i know i have deep down inside me!
Some questions;
I know reviewing hands is very important but a lot of the time i just feel like i cant critically analyze the situation very well and just write off a bad decision as being 'stupid' and moving on - any tips for practical learning on the back of session reviews?
What is the best way to work out my biggest leaks?
None of my friends share my passion for the game i really feel like a 'partner' would do wonders for my game-any offers?
Is it ok to have a aggressive bankroll management for the micros? I guess not whilst im still a 'loosing player'?
What bb/100 does the rake account for a 5nl on stars?
How much better off would i fare on non zoom games or is this a non answerable question?
I really appreciate people taking the time to comment and read this.this. Im definitely not the most exciting blog you've seen but i PROMISE you and myself i will turn myself into a micro crushing shark during the writing of this blog.
WHATEVER IT TAKE IS WHAT I DO!
