6-Max Soldier NL100 'n beyond

Okey Time for an update here now my first internship period has ended. I probably failed it because the guys there were so shitty in guidance. They kept saying: "yea everything is going good, keep it up", During the final evaluation they said everything was shit, and i'm like WTF is this shit. So next internship i'm going to find my own spot.

Pokerwise i wasn't able to playing during that time alot, a few hours sometimes in the evening. But last week i've been able to play a bit more. Still have alot of catching up to do for Supernova, i'm at 76K VPP, at the start of the year i thought it would be quite easy to get there, now i'm having 2nd thoughts.. Should be manageable tho, got nothing to do till the end of the year besides writing reports and stuff.

Also had my best day ever i think this week, up 1.3k. also came 7th in a donkament on 888 last week. So my 'restart' into poker is going quite ok. I'm tilting way less and i notice my tilt alot faster. Started playing some NL200, staying focused there is a bit harder cuz i even have to calculate normal betsizes cuz they're twice as big. ♦

First thoughts about NL200 are: Seems pretty beatable.. Fish/Reg ratio ofc worse. But still many badregs with alot of leaks. If i manage to play focused i should be able to beat it.

Maingoal for the year is Supernova. If i'm able to play nl200 consistentely without frying my brain that would be nice too. Volume will tell.

You go girl!

GL with SN

After last update i played another session, totally forgot to update about, can't really recall how i played. Good i guess, since i was up 1k at a time and 666 in the end. love those 5+BI days.

On the other side i hate those -5BI days i had yesterday. Started playing NL200, which went like utter shit, dropped 1k in few 100 hands. So dropped down to NL100 cuz that plays more comfortable for me. NL200 is still a bit high BRM-wise. Grinded back BE almost, to drop down to -600 again. ♦ Eventually i made it to -2BI, which is ok for me. The volume i played was 5k hands so happy about that.

Just need to find the fold button against the stupid badregs that are so freaking unbalanced as fuck. 1hand where i call a 3bet with TT, flop comes T88, we both check, turn goes ch/c from my side. And river he overbets i believe on T887J. So freaking obvious he has JJ, still i call or reship the last few chips. and he shows JJ.

Triggered the SPIN150 bonus on the last moment possible, so i have another free 150$ to grab :).

Already got 33% of the SPIN150 bonus after playing a 3hr+ session. In the end i was autopiloting way too much, so i quit. Happy with the volume again :), if i'm able to keep this up supernova shouldn't be that hard, only 20k vpp left lolz(i'm a slacker ♦ ).

ugly spot to say the least:

lolz, improved my best day again. 1.5k and 150$ rakeback or so.

This was my evening session, was bit lucky in some flips ofc. hence the lowish EV. ♦
Actually not that happy still, should've made even more, my game got way worse in the end, saw my own stats drop quite a bit, so missed quite some spots. But the games were so fishy i figured my B-game was good enough.

mehh hud not working

Great blog mate and good inspiration for players like myself considering reinvesting some time into poker. Keep it up.

Subbed!

MD

Thx for the kind words MD.

Played some sessions today, the first one in the afternoon went quite shit, lost 4BI, Some pots due to lack of concentration where i did some things way too light. And a pot where i lost AK<AK =.=.
So i quit that session to play a lil bit of zelda i downloaded on my smartphone lol.
2nd session i played went alot better, almost won everyting back, but still not happy with some spots. I called some spots with: "Mehh setup" already in my head, saying i'm behind bigtime and i should herofold instead. oh well, can't win every pot.

GL sir! Will follow this

What rooms do you play btw? Stars? Ipoker?

Mainly stars, at 82k VPP right now, would be a shame to let SN slip away. And have a smallish roll on 888.

Played another evening session, so fishy. Lost some flips tho. 5k hands today, happy with the volume for today. Not for the month tho, counted the days i've played and believe i only played <50% of the days in november, ofc quality time with ze misses is +EV aswell, but i should make more time for poker. I'm at a mere 30k hands this month, it should be double imo.

Don't know wether i want to post results in the future, due to lots of regs also following these blogs but never post and taxes here in my country.

okey okey

Normally i don't really like to play in the morning but:
1. wake up
2. grab money
3. rub on titties
4. made a costly mistake in the middle where i couldn't fold QQ vs a nit. And in the last 100 hands i spewed a bit, so time for lunch.

Goodlife lol

Afternoon session went ok, some regs that spewed quite hard vs me, which was nice. Had 1 guy that 5betbluffed me with a 80/64 whale behind him, i lolled so hard, cuz it was a terrible spot ♦

Won ~2BI, lost 1 in the end where i 'spewed' myself, this supernit 3bet me small BvB, so i peel, flop comes 67T, which smashes my range compared to his, so i turn my bottom pair in a bluff, turn is an 8 i believe and river is a 9 which also completes a fd. So perfect board imo for me to bluff, except villain happens to have TT.
The day is still young and i'm already halfway my 'best' day again, hopefully the goodrun continues

Also thinking of going 'pro' for a year now poker is still soft, the extra pocketchange i could gather in a year would be quite nice, have to step it up a notch tho for it to be a viable option. Need to grind a bigger volume tho, this hotrun this month isn't going to last ofc.

Played some NL200, Quite tough field imo atm still and getting used to the new betsizings.
Managed to book a small win, ran 2BI under ev so happy with how i played.
EV wise this is my best day again, $wise it isn't.
Gonna hit the gym and play another session afterwards i think, let's see if i can make some more $.

I have 200k FPP Stored now, will cash them immediately after binking SN, with the money earned from those $$ i'm gonna buy myself a motorlicense in the spring

Hard to win at NL200 when these hands happen.
