Regardless I am sure you will same amount on BetFair anyways .
Glad the book helped .Work on it.
Yes atm I am staking a playerr from Romania and despite him playing on pokerstars I cannot send him money thru player2player,but must withdraw and send thru skrill.
Do you know why are all those strange regulations emposed on your country? I

Poker was illegal in my country untill last year but nobody gave a shit about us playing. They made more strict regulations and alot of networks are currently blocked by internet providers (party network, microgaming network and so on...). We are allowed to play poker only on Netbet, Winamsters (ipoker both), Stars, Fulltilt, Unibet and 888. That's it so far.

I haven't used player 2 player feature at all. From what I knew, it still worked for romanians too. The only problem for us was the fact that if we decide to send money to another player, it was consider cashout and we had to pay 1% tax for each transfer that is smaller than 15k$. They might have blocked it meanwhile, but I really doubt it.

Good luck!

June final update

It's been a pretty bad month at the tables overall. I played only 58k hands and my winnings were only around 90 euros pre rakeback. In the first half of the mnth I played on STARS with no succes and after that I moved to Betfair were it went a little bit better.
Here are my stats and graph:





July objectives:
*play at least 60.000 hands (hope for 75k hands) at SPEED NL5
*finish the book mental game of poker
*watch videos from pokervip
*move to SPEED NL20 from August

Good luck all!

Hi!
I think you are bit too harsh about your achomplishments .
60k hands close to 3000bb in winnings +rb , came out of nasty downswing and reading mental game of poker.
Given that you have other obligations and activites in real life it looks like really good month to me.
Like all of your july goals but one : move to SPEED NL20 from August.
That should be in expecattions category and not in goals since its something you cannot directly influence.
First you are nl5 and not nl10 grinder which means you would need to beat nl10 in month , second 80$ of winnings is only 800bbs on nl10 and if variance hits you your winnings will cope quickly and I imagine your confidence as well.
So I would suggest to add more study goals and set this one aside at least until you dig deep on nl10.
Cheers

Hi there @Sharky !
I am dissapoined by my results especially of the run on STARS since I was -7bb/100 at ZOOM NL5. I am not complaining about my results on Betfair, even though there is alot of room for improvement. Here I had +8bb/100 at SPEED NL5 which is a huge improvement in my winrate at this limit. I know that the sample size is small on both sites, but I think that I can achieve at least +5bb/100 at NL5 on the long run without a HUD.

Volume was also small since I got bored and didn't play like 10 days at all. So, this month I aim to play at least 2.5h/day average and hit my 75.000 hands mark and move to SPEED NL20 with 600 euros bankroll. There is no SPEED NL10 on ipoker so I have to make that jump anyway.

The math is pretty simple:
My current bankroll is 300 euros.
75.000*5bb/100*5NL=187.50 euros (lets say 185 euros profit... I had 7.7bb/100 in 24k hands last month)
210euros rake*55% rakeback=115 euros (last month I raked 80 euros/24.000 hands but made my July math with 70 euros/25.000 hands)

300+185+115=600 euros bankroll at the end of July.
I didn't took in consideration the 77.777 promotion from PokerVip which is another like 10% rakeback. (20 euros for July)

On paper it seems so easy. I just hope to make it.

Cheers!

It seems that I have only 2 months left for poker. 2 of the poker platforms ended their poker license and I doubt that they will come back soon. (NetBet and Winmasters - ipoker both).

On 31august2016 all the other poker licenses will expire too (stars, fulltilt, betfair, 888 and unibet) but I hope that at least one of them will continue in my country. There are some rumors that one microgaming skin is going to enter the market so this is a very good news.

Good luck all!

Gulp - crush hard bro!

Not going as planned so far this month, but there are still plenty of days to go in the right direction.
Here is the graph so far: (I play only at NL5 SPEED.)


I played poorly in the last 2 days, there is no doubt about it. Hud is still not working after all (it was ok only for a few minutes and then back to shit). I can't find out the problem. I just have to learn better preflop game (for start) to overcome this disadvantage.

I'll post another update after I reach 25k hands.
Good luck all!
