Hi! I'm a former grinder and now I'm studying and working. Even though I have been working, I'm kinda broke because I just got married :f_drink::f_cool:

My work contract ends 30.9 and after that I began to do my final work here in my school. I will do most of that work from home. Because student money is pretty shitty and I don't want to work at the same time as doing my final work (I'm so lazy so I must maximize my time at home). I decided to try to play some poker instead.

My ultimate goal is to gather money for fatbike. I have tried it few times and I absolutely loved riding it!!! I live in Northern Finland so we have a lot of snow here so it will fit here like a nose to a head! But it will cost 1500€ so I'm trying to fund it by doing some extra work (poker mainly).

I began my mission 1 week ago by betting Mayweather vs Mcgregor. I placed a 700€ for Mayweather to win 200€. So my goal is 1300 anymore!

About 6 months ago I tried playing poker again after a long time! I played NL10-25 at Unibet. I think I was crushing those NL10 tables but had some problems at NL25. So I'm going to begin by playing NL10 which I feel is comfortable for me and my bankroll. I deposited 300€.

I have never done this blog thing but I decided that this time I'm going to set my goals straight for myself by saying it out loud here. I'm going to update my progress here and also I'm trying to post some hands etc. I feel a bit rusty and I do make mistakes every session so I could use some help from u guys! Though I'm not sure how can I post hands from Unibet??? :f_frown: I would love to follow my stats and stuff with tracker but is it possible to use at all at Unibet? Right now I'm going full natural!!! :f_cool:

I have already had 2 sessions which lasted approximately 3 hours combined. Yesterday I won 3bins and today I won 1,5 bins. Games were still kind of soft. I think most of my money came from aggressive multi barrel bluff plays.

To go: 1255€

Had a bad day today. After 2 session I lost 5bins. It feels like when there are more fishes I do worse. I always do better against NL10 regs lol _biggrin: Also I did a ton of mistakes and didn't play very well... I would love to look back at my session but it is impossible at unibet...

I have had few unlucky sessions and fell back to break even before yesterday.

Yesterday my old grinding partner and a good friend seduced me to play Omaha PL25. He wanted to show some moves (he is actually good omaha player but likes to bluff catch too much for pl25). So we made a deal if we lose a bin then we will quit (never worked 😂).
We started the session quite good picking up some pots. Then it went to rollercoaster mode and we ended up losing 150€ 😂. Fuck I hate omaha 😂 I think we played quite good except few mistakes. It is kind of fucked up to know that I just ran way below EV but u are not able to see that EV line...
Btw that omaha pool at unibet looked fishy.

My bankroll got splited now so it is now ~130€. Back to grind NL10 its only 17bins to get back to be 😂

Does anyone have any experience about Natural8 poker room? I would like that 35% cashback. Unibet pays me literally nothing back
