Day 4: 4.6.09
Today I watched two instructional videos and then played second NL50 session on Betfair. My session wasn’t good again. I had one hard suck out and despite I was almost all session wining I finished -$32. I played 341 hands and my stats were better then yesterday, I had 21/16.
The biggest pot I lost was when player OTB pit sized openraised and I call on BB with pocket eights. Flop came 8J4 I checked and opponent (34/9) bet pot. I raised him 2.5-times his bet and he pushed his last $30. I called and he showed an overpair as I expected (QQ). But dealer had one of his classic brilliant moments and dealt Q on turn and I lost.
In my session I also two times lost aces. First time it was against BB who called my raise with J7s and caught trips on turn. Second time I check-fold my aces on turn but I’m not sure if bet-fold wasn’t better play then giving up this hand that easy. I have posted this hand here on liquidpoker, here is the link : http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/700455
In the evening I watched final table of EPT in San Remo Season 4. In four players Jason Mercier made great call when he was calling all-in bluff on the river with bottom pair. He has finally won the tournament.
Total result so far: 771 hands, -$90.13

Day 3: 3.6.09
Today I played first NL50 session on Betfair. I decided to play tighter in the beginning to avoid some mistakes. I played 470 hands with result -1 bi (exactly -$57.64) and my stats was 16/10. It’s too low but it was first time I played on this site so I had some problems and I missed few hands and also made some misclicks. I also set up the HM and I was improving it during the session.
I think that in the session I could lose more money because I lost some hands against shortstacks. I was also a bit unlucky in session. Biggest pot I lost was set vs. overset when I had set on flop but my opponent caught his set on turn. My three biggest loses were set ups or bead beats. All in all I feel good about this session because I haven’t done any big mistake. I’m looking forward to my tomorrow session. I will also watch some videos.

Day 2: 2.6.09
As I wrote yesterday today I had volleyball tournament so I didn’t have time for poker. Tournament was good. We had nice sunny weather and our team finished on 4th place. Tournament finished in the evening and after that we went to pub to drink some beers with friends, but every body was very tired so we went home early.
Tomorrow I want to play cashgame session and watch some more videos.
Day 1

Day 1: 1.6.09
First day of my two month long session wasn’t exactly how I planned, but it doesn’t mean that something bad happened. I have continued watching Brystmar’s series on CR and I have started reading Justin Zee’s post on 2+2 forum. It’s really interesting and I recommend read it to all players!(here is the link).
In the afternoon I played two satellites on CakePoker. First was 5$ rebuy to daily 10k GTD freezout with 50+5$ buy-in and second was 6$ rebuy to weekly 50k GTD freezout with 100+9$ buy-in. In first tournament I was doing well but I stacked out in one hand where I had ATo on CO and BB was blind all-in. Player on UTG limped in and because of large side pot I decided to push it (my stack was above average). But UTG player called me and showed AKo and his hand hold up. In the second tournament only first player won the ticket and try guess how I finished :-). In very last hand of HU I had pocket nines and reraise all- in my opponent, who had raised from button. He called and showed pocket tens and won the ticket. I took 50$ for second place.
Other plans which I had for today and wrote yesterday I haven’t done yet. It’s because my roommate and very good friend has come and he told me about some problems he has now. So we were talking and then also started drinking...
Tomorrow I have volleyball tournament. It will be all day so I hope I will at least read some articles in the evening or finally set up my Holdem Manager and prepare it for my first on-line session.
Good night

Day 0: 31.5.09
So I start with my daily reports today. Every day I want to write short thread about what I was doing and how I played. My two month long session is going to start tomorrow. I start at NL50(6max)and today I have installed software at I will play - Betfair. At the beginning I want to pay more attention on theory and watching instructional videos. My main sources are CardRunners and PokerStrategy.com.
Today my account on moneybookers.com wasn't working so I couldn't transfer my bankroll of 1000 USD on new account at Betfair. I will do it tomorrow. Today I have also watched first video of Brystmar's five part series on CardRunners and tomorrow I want to continue. I also want to read some strategy articles on PokerStrategy. I'm doing this because of I had exams in school and some other stuff to do and I almost couldn't play on-line. This way I want to refresh some basic theories and again play good and continue improving my game. Tomorrow I want to watch video from CR about Holdem Manager and after that set HM up.
That's all for my introduction and tomorrow it will begin.
