Hey guys, thanks for opening my blog.

My name is Alex, I am from germany and I am 19 years old.

I used to play poker before, I won many times the Battle of Planets and won some small tournaments. So one can say that I am an experienced player.

I opened this blog to improve my english skills and to share my road to success with you.

What will I play?
I want to play cashgame, in the first post of this blog I will post my BRM.
Furthermore I will be playing MTTs and SNGs. First post of this blog to see my limits.


Start Bankroll: 180€

My BRM for Cashgame ( 4 tables, no zoom) or (1 table zoom)
under 800$ = NL10
800$ - 1300$ = NL16
1300$ - 2000$ = NL25
2000$ - 5000$ = NL50
5000$ - 15000$ = NL100
15000$ - 40000$ = NL200
40000$ - max = NL400

MTTs up to 27$, with step tickets up to 215$
SNGs up to 11$, step 7,50$, step 7,50€
MTT-Live-Sattelites = €-Steps up to 82€

First day: Played some cashgame, could double my BR to 360€
Second day: Some SNGs, mostly cashgame, BR to 415€
Third day: Showed my girlfriend PLO and won 60€ on PLO25, BR to 465€
Fourth day(today):
Started with the 27$ Progressive NLO8 MTT, no KO, no cash.
Played a few 5$ and 11$ 90-men PKOs, only got some bounties, but no relevant cash.
Then I took some shots at Cashgame NLHE Zoom, won few very pretty hands.
To end the day, I played a 30$ spin and go for fun, lost with A8 against A5 pf ai. BR to 703,41€

Id take shots to move up quicker if I was you, you are young and don't have any responsibilities so just go for it, more along the line of 25-30 buy ins of the next level to move up, move back down at 20

Hi Fayth,
thanks for replying to my blog.
Acutally I've got a few responsibilities. I am working 40 hours a week.

When I played and won a little bit, I went up to NL200 or PLO200 and lost big, because my BRM is like the stupidest thing you've ever seen.
My goal is to change it and have a good BRM. Thats why I want to use a strict BRM now.


I didn't post hands or my finishes in MTTs and SNGs, this will also change now.
Today I won't play that much, only a few hands on zoom.

How about my first hand posted in this blog?
NL16 zoom, played the hand in german, 2+2 only converts english hand histories. I am the SB.
Changed the language back to english and I will also post my BR in € and in $

What do you guys think about this bluff? I think the A on the turn fir perfectly my range, because I would reraise A7+ BvB.

Against a reg I know.

Played 57 hands on NL16 zoom, got 18.02 VPP and won like 47$.

BR up to 745,89€
BR up to 833,60$

Played 2 tables of NL10 and 2 tables of NL16.
Was okay, lost like 15 bucks.
Last hand QQ<AKs, unfortunately on NL16.
Played 250 hands and got 54 vpp.

Thin value bet on river?






What do you guys think about this bluff, which failed?








Would you call this on the river?










BR at 731,53€
BR at 817,50$

Hey guys,
today I started playing with 3 NL16 and 1 ZOOM NL 25 Table.
Went okay, lost a bit, started playing 4 ZNL25 tables.
Lost a bit, many ugly hands.
Ended up playing PLO200 and NL200.
200 max. 1 table at once.

BR is now at 966,40€/1079.11$

First hand: Pretty sick play by him and I got lucky that I held.







Hand2: Pretty ugly spot imo, could you ever fold it here? He obv had AK+







Hand3: Nice bb-defend where I got money from.







Hand4: Also a sweet spot, which explains itself I think.









Hand5: Sometimes you gotta love Omaha. Fishy preflop play by me tbh.

Played a 7,50$ Step 1 9max Turbo, shipped it with the last hand, where I got lucky.

Hey guys.
Just played a short session.

Hand1
Unfortunately he had also the nuts.

RIP

Hey guys, I have to admit.. I am so ****** ashamed of myself.
I played way too ****** high for my BRM.
I played FL O8 15/30, lost so much.
Went back to PLO 500 ZOOM, and won there.
I blocked myself for any limits higher than NL/PLO50 and FL50.
I hate myself for that.

In this session I got like 6k StarsCoins and won a bit.

Br is at 1,484.90€ / 1,664.63$ + 27$ Step Ticket + 14k StarsCoins

Tomorrow I am not going to play. I need a break of my stupidity.
Will play some MTT's on Saturday evening, including the 100k$ Goldstar Freeroll.

Yes, unfortunately.

I dont know and I cant explain why I do this. Money doesnt mean anything to me, big disadvantage when you always have everything you needed. I also donated much of my winnings.

I think I will need a better mindset, going to buy a book.

I hate myself for my instable mindset. Just sucks.

Hi, i don't think that line will work much against regs, because it's a standard move and villains will check the ace to induce bets. it's a dangerou sline but if it was in the right spot, agains teh right villain maybe it will work, i don't know. but i won't do that much often

AHAHAHHAHAHAA

Hey guys,

only played 5 MTTs this evening.
30k Freeroll for silverstars, busted.
100k freeroll for goldstars, BTN raised to 2bb, I pushed from SB with 10bb with A3o, BB decided to call with T7o. lol Unfortunately he got lucky.
Played the 11$ Bounty Builder, doubled up but busted without any bounty.
Also played a 11$ PLO MTT, lost with nuts on flop, which where also nuts on turn, when we went all-in, he only had a flushdraw and obvious he hit.

Last torunament was the 27$ PLO Badugi, where I bought in with my step 2 ticket. I won it for 143,91$ + 145,40$ in bounties.
Makes 289,31$ for this tournament.

BR is now at 1,720.88 € / 1,931.91 $

Yo guys,
today I went out for a jog, only 2.5km but I didnt go jogging for half a year.

Won 33,76$ at PLO25Z.

Played a few satellites, lost 2 7,50$ PLO sats, won the 5,50$ Sat to the 82$ NLO8, but lost almost instantly the 82$ tournament.
Played the 27$ PLO Progressive KO, where I won 70,40$ in bounties, but lost every hand in the end, didnt make it to the money.
