Hello fellow humans!
I have been playing poker sporadically for a few years, playing half a year/not playing for a year.
I started playing about five years ago and did not particularly well, though eager to learn (which I didn't). Two on and offs later i did pretty well ending up playing nl10 regularly. As always, a time came when sets got beat by higher sets, bluffs never worked and common sense seemed to be a scarce commodity. I ended up loosing almost my whole bankroll.
Last time I tried the game of poker I did better! Taking shots at nl25 which started promising. But again, when the dark times of variance (which wasn't, I was just playing really bad!) my bankroll was down at 30 bucks......
At the moment I'm home quite a lot, taking care of our puppy and studying. So I thought "maybe I can play some poker aswell". So with 30 bucks on my account, and a few more videos watched here on pokerstrategy I was fit for fight! ![]()
What have I learned from last time?
I have noticed that I had some tremendous leaks!
- I wasn't enough aware of position
- I couldn't tell a good board vs a bad board for c-beting
- I couldn't fold river vs a raise
There are of course more leaks in my game but these are the biggest ones! After I realised these and adjusting my game I immediately started making profit ![]()
Why am I making this blog?
Well hopefully this will keep me motivated and not making any stupid things along the way.

So coming down to goals and stuff..
Bankroll management
30$ -> 100$ nl2
100$ -> 200$ nl5
200$ -> 600$ nl10 (I will move down if I loose 5BI)
600$ -> ??? nl25 (Have not thought about this very hard, but hopefully will be taking shots at nl25 this year atleast)
I guess I should have some volume goals aswell, but it's difficult with puppy, studies and what else. Will see in a month or two ![]()
Bankroll: 168.45
How my nl5 is going so far:
Not really sure what to have in the pic..
That's about it I think... wish me best of luck!
