"Old fart at play" is just a song-title from the sixites.

(pejorative, idiomatic) An elderly person who holds views that are considered old-fashioned. Synonyms: fossil.

So I guess thats me.

Spending most time on the microest of the micros. NL2-NL5. Occassionally on NL10. 90% of the time no-limit texas, some sng, mtt and even omaha.

I guess this is it....

Yes. The old Captian. Nowadays I look a little bit like him but my hair and beard are all white.

Hey man. I'm an old fart myself ♦ (52 in fact)

Why not post in our Who is our oldest PokerStrategist? thread.

The gameplan was to start some serious gameplay. But of course I got a bit drunk. Or... to be honest so didnt I dare go to bed. At the time it seemed at a good idea to play some poker. I should have choosed Unibet but I had poker770 near at hand. Well, at least I made some strategy points.

But when I got sober it has runned quite well. 812 hands on Fast forward NL5, 8.19 euros, VPIP 22.3, PFR 15.6, agg% 3.48.

EDIT: when I look at the graph it doesnt seem so smooth.

I added you to community tools as friend.

I am starting a Skype channel for 5nl and 10nl players! add me!

Hi nice to see a new blog and as swedish i will try follow you,
i also play at 770 for the sp and status, but i play daily just trying to make 40 770 poker= around 15 strategy points +10 bonus points, this gives me gold status and takes around 30 minutes daily playing speed poker 2/5 4-6 tables. otherwise i agree with you about bugs and other strange things ...
anyway good luck at the tables

They say the darkest hour is just before the dawn ...

I have problems with 6-max. Or .. my leaks in FR is so evident in 6m. I´m a bit passive, bad at bluffing and pay to little attention to position.

So for the first time in a year I´m going to have a negative result for the month.

At the moment I can´t even manage 2 tables. I have geared down to one table to keep the focus....

"Summer challenge" - the big challenge seems to live with poker software. "Leakbuster cant connect to server". "We have to log you out for maintainence" for the second time in an hour.

At the time it seems like I´m doing fine at Poker770. Been on the plus-side for a while now and I have sharpened my goals. Now I´m aiming at winning more money than I am paying in rake. This month I have made €10.37 and only paid $9.29 in rake .

After 4 hours of struggling with user-unfriendly software I at last made my 10 strategy points. Now I have made €11.54 and the rake is $12.86 at a bb/100 of 12.2. Sure hope it is $ and € or else I´m alredy behind.

Hi sir,

nice blog over here

I'm in

Kind regards,
Fran

Just now I hate Poker. And especially iPoker. Let me put it like this.

My graph at Svenska Spel looks like this:

Thats not so impressiive. The players on Svenska Spel is by far the worst players on earth. But my graph on Pokerstars looks like this:

And thats quite okay for me. And my graphs for Partypoker and 888 looks good but over a smaller sample. But my graph on Poker770 looks like this:

If I thought that the players at Poker770 was so much better than me I wouldnt mind but my feeling is that I´m a bit better than they are. But there isn´t a flop so dry that at player on Poker770 can´t pull a straight or flush out of thin air.

The oddest thing is that good hands like AA. KK, AKo, AKs all give a bb/100 of more than 100 on all other poker rooms but I´m actually loosing money on AKo and AKs barely makes a bb/100 of 30. AA gives a bb/100 of more than 1000 on all other sites but only 800 on Poker770.

It would be better economy to play on other places and buy my gold status but I am so irritated over that Pokerstars wont let me retrack so at this point I feel better to skip Pokerstars and play on Poker770 till I can beat the bastards.

And as a final mockery Leakbuster gives me the best grade ever for the last month

My grade for Svenska spel is F and something like D+ for Pokerstars.

Maybe there is the key to my problem. I try to make use of my groving knowledge of Pokerand the tools I gather and it is not giving the results I am getting on Pokerstars because of the strange mixture of players on Poker770.

Well. This will be my goal. To be a solid winner on Poker770 in the nest few months.

I had a similar problem. LeakTracker in PT4 told me I was doing it all great, yet I was losing for a long time at a horrendous rate. A coach pointed out that I had to be making too many mistakes postflop and that these analyses didn't pick up on those things.
My biggest leak was having no clue multiway when I missed and those pots were very common on PKR - worse players than you met at Svenska spel I guarantee it! ♦ ♦
I needed to get to grips more with ranges and cbetting board types etc. Things are a lot better now.

May I suggest posting some statistics for our community and a few hands, any hands that made you go hmmmm.

Regards,

Mal.

I dont think that my multiway-pot-play is any problem. As I played a lot on full-ring at svenska spel where 8 players on flop isnt to rare.

I dont know why but I dont seem to find a hand converter that can manage Poker770 hands from HM2. "illegal header" they say.

Stats is like
VPIP: 20.91 seems okay
PFR 14.64 have sunken a bit
Agg 1.26 What? used to be like 2.5. And I thought that I was turning to aggressive.

I think I start from there ...

One new problem that I have faces in the last few weeks is that my steals gets stolen. I have a fairly good hand at SB and all have folded say 55 or JTo and bets 3bb then BB bets 8bb. That rarely happened before so I fear that the site have been W34z3l:ed. So instead of winning the one bb from BB I loose 3bb to BB.

I just have to give it up. I have played 24 sessions this weekend. 20 on non-iPokersites and won them all. No big deal. A dollar here and 3 dollars there. An then I have played 4 sessions on Poker770 - lost them all. Big!

I got tricked again and put in some money for the Cash Machine.

First I played some on Poker770. I played bad and had bad luck. So I played a session on 888. Never in my life I have seen such a wild game. In 200 hands I saw 4 quads an a serious amount of full houses, flushes and straights.

Back to Poker 770. Things went well for a while. I had no premium hands which seems to be an advantage on iPoker. A good hand is just an opportunity to loose money.

So came this hand. My impression of Villain is that he is a risktaker so I take a chance with a coinflip.
