Hey all
After doubting to opening a blog here on the English section since the dutch community is rather dead (Sorry lads), I'm gonna try.
Who am I?
I'm a 29 year old from Belgium. I have had a very passionate on-and-off relationship with the game sometimes taking breaks of months.
I've been playing for years. Primarely NL10 and 25 to have a little bonus aside the job. I have been playing winningly though over the years. I have about 12K profit online all together and about 10k winnings from NL200 live which I haven't been playing in ages. (Wanting to pick it back up after Covid though).
So far I have been struggling mentally to make the next step. Justification tilt and just absolutely hating to lose sometimes turns me into an absolute monkey. So various regs and recs have been sponsored by me as well I'm afraid.
My goal is to:
1) get better technically just move up. I think my a-game is OK for NL25/50 but I need to improve my b & C game.
2) work on the tilt. And really work on it. Not saying it like I have been for years.
3) Crush my limits (DUH!?)
4) set up a poker network with peers to improve.
The fact I live in Belgium makes things a bit more difficult:
My only options to play on are Pokerstars, Unibet & Bwin(Partypoker). And any form of rakeback, bonusses, points, whatever are probihited.
My only rakeback is the Unibet Rakerace. Sucks balls but hey, what can you do right?
So I've been playing on Unibet and will continue doing so. I've been there since the beginning so I'm used of playing HUDless.
Why LOLsite? A couple of years ago on the Dutch community we had a specific forum member who thought me and two other friends who (almost) stopped playing the game were playing on a LOLsite because Pokerstars is the real deal. We had great discussions and laughs and this is not really laughing at the guy, but rather see the humour in it. The tag will hunt me forever.
Will I be posting hands? Sometimes. I'd rather have discussions and conversations about the mental part of the game since there lies my biggest leaks.
Pokerstrategy isn't anymore what it has been, but the site has given me so much. I'd rather stay active here. I think the site is going back in the right direction though.
Let's do this!
