Well, when you make a plan and do not stick to it very next day - nothing good will come out of it.

GG!

Have fun!

What @MilfGrinder said. Fortunately for you after that last bad session you still have bankroll that's comfortable enough to play Zoom NL5 with, so there's no need for dramatics. Christmas is the perfect time to rest, regroup and attack this whole poker thing again. Good luck sir.

Watching some of the vids I notcied you tag people as "fish" very quickly, is this purely based on them not having full stacks?

@MilfGrinder I was a little bit upset when I wrote that comment. It was right after my loosing session of ZOOM NL10.

@MattVIP I am not giving up poker. I went down to NL5 and played there but the downswing continued there and I lost in one session of 2 hours 6 buy ins. To sum it up, I lost in just 4k hands almost $100 which is huge for the bankroll.


I have all my sessions recorded and I can post them to see if I tilted or not. At least at my NL5 session I didn't tilt at all from what I remember, played standard and got fucked pretty hard.
This is my worst month of poker so far. I still can't believe that I am having a loosing month at the micros.
Here is the total graph so far:


I am not playing at ZOOM at all for the rest of the year...just some poker to chill out eventually.

@killjoy1987 Yes, everyone that has less than 100bb is a fish for start. After I get some sample of hands on them I might reconsider my option.

Right now my bankroll is at around $310 but there is still plenty of time to change that amount.
I'll post my January objectives after NYE, of course, related to my bankroll.

Good luck everyone!
Happy new year!

Poker was pretty bad in 2016 finishing the year with my first loosing month ever, but overall it was an OK year, can't complain.
I won't bother you with unnecessary real life stuff because it is really not the place here but I would write down what I plan to do regarding poker in the next few lines bellow.

The most important thing is that I quit playing on STARS since I can't win there and I can't focus on only one type of game changing from FR to zoom 6 max and back, not being able to stick to some minimal rules like stop loss and obviously playing like a whale at certain moments without realizing it.

I moved to UNIBET poker and maybe here I'll be able to play profitable and move up in stakes. Everyone says that the field here is softer than on other sites. One thing is certain, there is only 6 max for holdem cash so I can't make any mistakes here.

I deposited only €100 and managed to get it up to €125. I'll move up to NL10 after I reach €200 bankroll with a 4 buy in shot.
Another good thing here is that I can't play more than 8 tables from what I saw, at least at NL4 it is like that. When I take my shot at the uper limit I'll play at only 4 at a time for sure.

Since the new software update I got a few software crashes and some bugs here and there but nothing important. I guess they''ll fix it in the next few weeks.

I wish you all a great year!
Good luck!

HNY buddy!!!! No such thing as a bad poker year....it is like a bad year training for something...no such thing! Embrace the struggle, embrace the grind, learn from mistakes and move forward. Crush it buddy! Behind you 100%! LFG

I just finished my session for today and I like UNIBET so far. I think that I can beat NL4 this month from what I can see since the players there are pretty bad.

My bankroll is now at €133. I had it a little bit larger (almost €140) but lost one stack and some change while waiting for BB to leave my final table, going all in with buttom 2 pairs 56 on flop 56T against fish that had top pair TT and A kicker. He hit an another T on turn and that was it. (lucky me as always)

I posted some videos on youtube from UNIBET NL4. I am not playing great but not that bad eaither.

Good luck all!

€67 left to take the shot at NL10

How did he get all that money?!?!

Short Update
I just finished my session and things are going decent enough so far. At least my bankroll is growing, slowly but growing.
I now have in my account €150 so I'm a little bit closer to NL10.

Good luck all!

€50 left to take the shot at NL10

Today it was BUG day on UNIBET.
I tried to play my last session this evening but after a couple of minutes I closed the client and gave up. At one table my cards didn't show up at all so there was no point in continuing that way.

The good part is that my bankroll is still growing. Now I have €160 so thing do look good.

Good luck all!

€40 left to take the shot at NL10

Things are going ok so far on UNIBET. My bankroll is still growing so I can't complain about it. Now it reached €183 so I am very close to start my shot at NL10 for 4 buy ins. I lowered the number of tables from 8 to 6 because of the bugs from the software in the last 2 days of play.

Good luck all!

€17 left to take the shot at NL10

How you finding unibet? Might make my next deposit on there.

Except for the software bugs (some complain about not being able to play at all or only on the browser version), things are looking good here so far. I think that it will be fixed at the end of the month when they'll make an update.

People complaining about crashes and bugs...

Yesterday I didn't had the mood to play at all but today I managed to put in one hour of poker. Bankroll grew again so now I am very close to a €200 bankroll. More precisely I have €194. By the end of the week I hope to take my first shot at NL10 on UNIBET.

Good luck all!
...I am still playing at 6 tables at a time in it feels better than 8 to be honest.

€6 left to take the shot at NL10

The games are insane here at NL4 on UNIBET... this hand was right at my session start from today, after 3 minutes of play.
The KK hand on middle bottom table (only that hand in this video of 1 minute)

Hah good times. So random. Hopefully get on UniBet when I sort my account out

Yes, Unibet is very nice at NL4. I don't know how it will be on NL10 but I'll give a try pretty soon. Today I played an hour or so, and at the end my bankroll was showing €199.68. So close to reach €200 and take my shot.
Anyway, here is a hand from the end of my session from today. I guess that for some 72s is nuts and go for it.
(Bottom right, I had K4s)

Good luck all!

€0.32 left to take the shot at NL10

LOL that hand!

Wonder if the lad was playing some 72 game vs his mate or something?!?!

Man, it feels so humiliating when I bluff catch and the mega whale shows almost the nuts... how the hell is this possible?!
I just lost two stacks this session versus one of the biggest fish out there. I had almost €210 bankroll but lost €8 against that guy.

I feel so dumb.

Anyway, the good news is that tomorrow I'll try my shot at NL10 since my final bankroll for today is €202.
Fingers crossed!

I'll post the video with my shot here to see how it went. I have only 4buy ins for it and I'll be playing at 4 tables to be more focused.

Good luck all!
