i'm a marginal winner on NL200 and every time i make enough BR for NL400 i go there - it's almost a year i'm going back and forth( been ~10 times on NL400 ), i think i have about 100k hands on NL400 and i always lose money there and i have to go back to NL200...

so... i will start to take poker serously, cause i make a living with it and it would be nice to build my BR instead of just making money only enough for monthly expenses:

1. every day before playing poker i'll visit 2+2/LP.net hand forums for ~1h and i start posting hands there
2. watch one CR vid for a day
3. i will always look through hands after session
4. i will play only on two pokerrooms ( insted of 5 ) and i will keep money only there to see every time for my own eye that i have more than enough to play at NL200
5. i will always put ppl on hand ranges
6. i will play no more than 6 tables
7. shut down everything besides poker and music while playin
8. i will check session results only after session

it's been a while, time for analysing hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265552 - after turn frontbet i should know i'm dead as fish without water

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265553 - i thought: he's shortstack i can play this for his stack, but after a while: there's only straightdraw and i doubt he plays it agressively, so i think after flop raise i should fold

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265556 - hand before he lost almost 2BI when he had KK and some guy got lucky, i thought he was tilting...well i was wrong

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265558 - on turn i thought i was lucky, after he called i should shut the fuck up... but i didn't

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265560 - min-raise flop and win or give up, and i played like i'm scared and giving away intiative :/

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265561 - after flop i should leave it, cause if he called flop, he will call river :/

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265566 - so stupid of me, after my turn re-raise i should realize he has better T

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265568 again, tripple and me falling in love with it... i think i should bet less on turn and if he pushes -> fold

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265569 - i'm not sure if it's ok

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265571 - dunno if i can minimize my lose

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/265573 - i guess i should bet less on riv so that fold to a push would be easier

i started this day at 1 PM, cause yesterday i couldn't sleep and i watched 'The 70s show' till 4 AM, done weight lifing for ~1h, 1,5h of jogging, 2nd day of Weider's six. soon i'm going out so no time for poker, and of course no studing either, i may get back a little drunk, so maybe it will be the best not playing tonight



EDIT: well, i did play yesterday:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/253130 - it's always nice to get lucky

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/253131 - again i thought about betting turn, but his call screamed for strengh oO

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/253132 - and some bad luck ;o

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/253133 - this is lol, i make sometimes sooo stupid things i saw 36/26/5 for 10 hands, and i thought: "do it" lol, this was just after i sat to poker this night (2AM) and played till 5AM

500 hands, so not much happend

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/252239 - the guy was tilting, and i thought he can have two overcards, like he had couple hands ago agains someone alse, on turn i think i had to push even with flush and a one card straight cause i couldn't give a free card to one card flush

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/252240 - i wanted to raise less, to make him think i can have 7, but now i think he has me as too aggressive ( i have him on 2k hands ) so that raise could be 120, but after he raised me i think he had overpair

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/252241 - that river bet was just stupid of me, he had to have something, and he calls even with QQ i guess

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/252243 - here i should raise to ~300 i think i scared him with such a small raise

other than that i did 1h of racetrack(jogging), 1st day of Weider's six, and meditation before sleep, now it's 1 AM and im going to bed

and no studying to the exams... got to work on that tommorow

i thought about it for some time, and i decided do run a blog. A little background maybe:

I'm a student of Warsaw Institutte of Technology, for now at least, 23 years old.
I don't remember exactly when i started playing online poker, but i think it was around spring/summer 2005. Two friends showed me this game - marknazzal and tomsOn, and for that i owe them, cause i don't know how my life would look like now, if i didn't know about online poker, they also brought to the game Eo. and StratusS, so there was 5 of us struggling to win $ from this game, as much as we could. I started playing freerolls on regular basis ( cause i never wanted to play for my own money ) there was absolute, pacyfic, poker.com, and couple other sites. But it was hard to win $, cause there ware so many players in every tournament and so small number of players in the money. In December tomsOn gave me like 50$ to play, cause he thought i was wasting my time with freerolls. I played on PS and made enough to give him back, what he gave me, but than i lost everything ( my game was so horrible back than ). And then was a breakthrough, i got 10$ in casion-on-net - part of Paccific poker, and i played there on machine to make 20$ and get it from there to my bank account. When it was there i didn't know where can i deposit it, and marknazzal said to deposit to EverestPoker, and i did. It was 21.12.2005 and the money was on pokerroom on 23.12.2005. I started playing there from NL2 like everyday, moving up with 25BI, moving back on 20BI. After some time i got to NL200 and couldn't make it to stay on NL400, but eventually with help of tomsOn and Mark i improved my game and i did enough money to start looking for an appartment to rent in Warsaw in january 2007 and become a Pro ( well, a low stakes Pro i guess ).

For the last 4-6 weeks i was handling my downswing. I lost ~60% of my BR at NL200 and i wanted to get it back. I made it and soon after that i took high place in an MTT tournament, so i can play NL400 safely - for my state of mind. I play for now 4 tables NL400, i used to do 6-8 of NL200/NL400 for the last couple months.

I have my exams in September ( cause i failed in June so much ), so i should be learning.

To take my mind off i run on racetrack, exercise with dumbbell and barbell, meditate and i trained Taiji for some time. I also played tennis for many years, i enjoy swiming, sailing, pool, bridge.

And i love Tequila. :D



I hope this blog will help me to improve my game, and overall in my life, cause it will make me wonder about stuff I do every day, and i will be able to look at things from perspective.
