I'd love it more if it were above 0 til now but can't do shit about it.

I can't find the six plus holdem tables on ipoker, at least not on netbet. Do they run on all ipoker or just on a few skins from the network?

Speaking of ipoker, I retaged my betfair account with you guys a few days ago and I'll start my grind there in a week or so. I played a few hundred hands there but I am not sure if it is working or not since screen name is still not confirmed. But hey, must have been because of almost 0 rake generated there so far.

Anyway, I feel a little bit disgusted of STARS since I'm on a downswing for a month and decided to take a break from there. I am currently playing on netbet and I must say that I started to like ipoker. Of course that I started with a big upswing wich ended up in a little disaster playing like a moron, trying to win every pot, doing alot of dumb shit as you like to call it.

I am playing more focused now and mostly ABC poker which seems to pay off so far. Here is my graph so far:

The conclusions of the month will be in 29th February.
Good luck all!

It is on only 5 skins currently I believe. Betfair is 100% one of them as i was railing it yesterday! Looks like such a fun game

Finally some good news this month. Betfair account is retaged with pokervip wich is awesome.

I'll be grinding here at least the hole month of March to see how it goes.

That's it for now!
Good luck!

Oooooooh nice! Re-tags can be a complete pain so nice to see them confirming it!

Love seeing the avatars in the top 500 - yours looks epic lol.

Starting from today, I get software problems at Betfair poker. At some tables I can't see my cards at all. For exmaple from 10 tables, maybe more than half don't show my cards at all starting from the first hand I play. I don't know what the hell is going on but can't play a single session there. I have only a few euros on the site and planned to deposit there to grind from March but I guess that I won't do it anymore.

Is anyone experiencing this kind of problems?

Well, it seems that netbet does the same thing. I really don't know what is the problem. Can anyone help me?!

Final update for February!!!

It was a little bit of a failed month but overall I am at least relaxed that I managed to finish it with a little bit of profit. Here is the overall graph:
Attached Image

I am happy about the volume played and played all sort of games from NL2 to NL10, from FR to SH, from ZOOM to standard tables, from STARS to IPOKER. Bankroll is very solid for the limits that I play, so that is a plus too.

Marc Objectives:
1. play only at regular SH tables mostly on STARS
2. play 40.000 hands/month
3. play at maximum 12 tables at a time
4. climb in limits every time I have profit 5 buy ins for the upper limit and take the shot with that money (this might be interesting)
5. finish the month with profit and get out of the micros for once.

Good luck all!

Final update for March!!!

I played on both Stars and Betfair and it went pretty bad. The volume was ok since I managed to reach around 81.500 hands overall but when I moved up to NL5 lost almost 20$ in 2.500 hands and failed the shot as allways. I think that this month I will focus on Betfair and if everything goes as planned, I'll be taking shots at NL4 here in approximately one week. (No more Stars for now)

I didn't deposit any money yet on Betfair. I retaged my unused account with Pokervip, received 10x€1 tickets and used them at twister which led me to €8 bankroll. Strated playing some NL2 MSS until I reached €24 bankroll and from there I played normal NL2 BSS.

My current bankroll on Betfair is now around €95 (including rakeback), getting closer to NL4... I want to have 30 buy ins for the micros to feel confortable. If I get $15 from the PokerVip rakerace would be grate.

Here are my stats:
Attached Image

I will use my deposit bonus only after I beat NL4.

April Objectives:
1. play around 45.000 hands.
2. crush NL2 and move up to NL4 when I reach €120 bankroll.
3. mix NL2 with NL4 if there aren't enough tables going.
4. watch all new NL videos from pokervip.
5. post 8 hands for review.
6. update the blog weekly.

Good luck all!

nice going ,always nice to have a winning month

lennuk: nice going ,always nice to have a winning month

Yes, it's nice to have profit at the end. I was glad that I managed to build a small bankroll from nothing.

I have the feeling that players on NL2 are weaker than the ones from STARS. I have only 35.000 hands here, but this is my general impression. Hopefully on uper limits is the same.

Good luck all!

PS:I wish that there were more poker videos from ipoker, here on PokerVip.

Oh sick that you are doing the ultimate spin up with the twister tickets......such a sick idea! Did you get any big jackpot shots?

No big jackpots unfortunately. ::)

Man, I hate the QQ hand so much...

Thank you!

I just finished one of the worst sessions ever... I almost tilted like a moron, not giving a shit about the money invested in the hands... MONKEYTILT!!!
I guess that I'll stay a little bit longer here too after this fucked up thing that I did.

I got tilted especially because of one whale that hit magic boards every time against me...still pissed about it

Anyway, tomorrow I'll be as good as new to hit the tables again. Writing this things dow here is helping me... I am even smiling right now.

(I need some professional help, jumping from a state to the other right now)

Good luck eveyone!

AA - I think x/jam flop is better, especially with your sizing. If bet, go smaller to just 25c - fish will stick around with overcards (most likely spazz jam). But yeah, I x/jam this one.

This should be a straight forward check fold on the turn. Jamming is really bad as villain calls with better and folds worse. I don't even like check calling to bluff catch so for me this would be a check fold and move on spot.

@Jon-PokerVIP : I was on tilt at that moment.

Here are the stats so far this month:
Attached Image

I started the month really nice, but after that, is a little disaster. Next 2 days I won't be able to play at all, but I might recover some volume on the weekend.

In normal circumstances I think that I can achieve at least 10bb/100 here, but I have some really big leaks (tilt included).
I will continue to play at 16 tables since the player pool here is so weak.
Good luck all!

Hello!

As I said above, I took 2 days brake from poker, and today started to play again. I was "welcomed back" so bad. This was probably the most unlucky session of this year. I don't understand, how the hell can come together so many fucked up hands in a 2 and a half hours session.
Here is the graph from today's session:
Attached Image

So far this month was terrible at the tables, almost brake even. I am still so far away from NL4 and it doesn't seem to get better anytime soon.
Anyway, the good news for today was that I won 5 euros at some all in tournament and I guess that I received the money fro March 55.000$ rake race of 15$ (13 euros and some change).
Later I will play another session, maybe my luck will change (I doubt it though).

Good luck all!

Tomorrow has to be better!

Good luck all!

Played less poker today, but it went a little bit better than yesterday.

Man, this game is tough. I wonder, how the hell can some players with idiotic stats win so good on decent sample. For example:
Attached Image

I really can't understand what is going on here.
Here is my total graph on BetFair since I started playing here:
Attached Image

I know, I know, it is pretty disapointing. I am being brake even for 20k hands or so though.
At the end of todays session the autorebuy stoped working, poping all over the place some system errors or something and after closing the tables I have noticed that around 6 euros were missing from my bankroll. I'll wait to see if it gets corrected since tomorrow, or I'llhave to contact the support to see what is going on.
Oh, and I almost forgot, another magic god damned river:
