Hello all. This is my blog.
It will be great (eventually).
I have been playing poker for over 10 years. I mainly play live at the moment however I am going to challenge myself to beat the online game from the beginning. My plan is as follows :
I will be playing on a tracked account at William Hill.
I will start with a zero balance and no player points.
I will begin by playing the pokerstrategy daily freerolls.
Any winnings will be taken to the 0.01c.0.02c tables.
I will move up to 0.02/0.04c when I have 30 BI (€120).
I will then move up levels when I reach 30 BI and move down when I have 25 BI.
So a straight forward enough plan. I just wondered if it’s possible. I suspect it will be fairly difficult if not impossible.
I have not been around the forum for a while. So I had better catch up.
Anyway good luck at the tables all and hope to see you soon.

I started last night. I finished 99th in the PS Daily Freeroll at William Hill.

Cashed for £0.13.

Not too bad a start.

This is how I exited the tournament :

iPoker - $0.00+$0.00|<> NL - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

UTG: 177,390
UTG+1: 21,690
MP: 63,439
MP+1: 15,398
Hero (CO): 7,916
BTN: 38,664
SB: 32,845
BB: 6,584

8 players post ante of 120, SB posts SB 600, BB posts BB 1,200

Pre Flop: (pot: 2,760) Hero has A♥ T♦

UTG calls 1,200, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 7,796 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, UTG calls 6,596

Flop: (18,352, 2 players) 7♣ 8♠ 4♦

Turn: (18,352, 2 players) 4♣

River: (18,352, 2 players) 6♣

UTG shows 8♦ T♣ (Two Pair, Eights and Fours) (Pre 28%, Flop 85%, Turn 93%)
Hero mucks A♥ T♦ (One Pair, Fours) (Pre 72%, Flop 15%, Turn 7%)
UTG wins 18,352

I felt slightly unlucky here. Oh well.

Roll on the next one...

Hey Mullet1,

Welcome to the blogs. :)

Nice start. Are you going to freeroll until you have a certain amount before hitting NL2 ?

Definitely following

Thanks Laz,

Im going to freeroll only, i dont think i will use brm until i reach NL4.

I have played PLO8 before so may use the first of my winnings (hopefully) on the smallest of these tables.

Unfortunately i am not able to play as much as i would wish.

On the 31st July I attempted a big squeeze however I was well and truly caught, lol :
