Hi guys,
Yesterday was my birthday, I will be gone for the weekend, I played some poker this week, studied a bit, and I'm getting used to the morning routine. I highly recommend starting the day with a morning routine, it gives you a energy boost, motivation boost, mindset boost, it's great.
I post now my spreadsheet for the week


From next week on, I'll be playing full volume, hope to be back soon with some hands to discuss too.
GL to you all and have a good weekend!

Hi
I've been pretty busy the last weeks, I still got in some volume and study, had some hands that I will post here for discussions.
Here is my spreadsheet for the last week :


H1: $0.25/$0.5 - 3 handed with regs

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 9T
Hero raises to $1.50, SB raises to $4.50, BB folds, Hero calls $3

Flop: ($9) Q68 (2 players)
SB bets $3.5, Hero calls $3.5

Turn: ($16) K (2 players)
SB bets $10, Hero calls $10

River: ($35) Q(2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $32 and is all-in, SB folds


H2: $0.25/$0.5

Preflop: Hero is UTH with A5
Hero raises to $1.50, MP raises to $4.50, CO folds, BTN folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero raises to $10.5, MP calls $6

Flop: ($21.03) TT3 (2 players)
Hero bets $7.25, MP calls $7.25

Turn: ($34.73) 2 (2 players)
Hero bets 32.75 and is all-in, MP folds

Here my range looks very strong, and I decide to Cbet 1/3 flop with the intention to shove turn if I pick up a fd or a gs


H3: $0.25/$0.5 MP is a reg who was a bit tiltet I think

Preflop: Hero is BTN with A5
UTG folds, MP raises to $1.50, CO folds, Hero raises to $4.5, SB folds, BB folds, MP raises to $9.75, Hero calls $5.25

Flop: ($19.14) 653 (2 players)
MP checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($19.14) 5 (2 players)
MP bets $10.12, Hero calls $10.12

River: ($38.26) Q(2 players)
MP bets $31 and is all-in, Hero calls $31

Spoiler:
MP shows KT


In this spot, I need 27% equty to call, I have 37% rough equity vs a normal tightish range, and given the fact that I am IP I can realise close to that equity. If he 4bets looser, I have even more rough equity


H4: $0.25/$0.5

Preflop: Hero is SB with 88
UTG folds, MPfolds, CO folds, BTN raises to $1.25, Hero raises to $4.75, BB folds, BTN raises to $9.5, Hero calls $4.75

Flop: ($18.33) TA5 (2 players)
Hero checks, BTN checks

Turn: ($18.33) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $7.77, BTN calls $7.77

River: ($34) 6(2 players)
Hero bets $40 and is all-in, BTN folds

Here my plan is to bet small OTT, given the fact that the board is so draw heavy I expect him to raise his strong hands, and call weak aces and JJ QQ KK + draws, and if he only calls my turn bet, then shove on a lot of rivers, except A

Feel free to leave a feedback, any input is well appreciated.
GL to you all!

Hi guys, I'm back to update my blog, it's been a long break since I posted last time. I'm still playing NL50 on Unibet, I had the bankroll for NL100 a few times but due to monthly withdrawals and the lack of study I decided to keep playing 50 for the moment.
I'm currently playing poker from a rented cowork office, I thought this way I will be more motivated and productive and I can say I'm playing more regularly and I'm grinding my volume but the study part is missing (I need to fix this issue).
On 19 October I will go to WSOP Europe-Rozvadov to play live poker for 3 weeks, a good friend of mine decided to help me start my live poker journey and I seized the opportunity.

"In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." Mark Zuckerberg

I have a ugly downswing this month so far, I'll try to play my volume though and at the same time make a plan for live poker strategy. Any tip, video, article about live poker is greatly appreciated.

I'll make a few updates before I go, post some online hands and I plan to make updates after I start playing live cash games too, so stay tuned.

GL to you all!

Hello hello. The WSOP Europe cash grinding experience was nice one, I've been playing 1/3 blinds, nice location, I've seen a lot of poker pros, really enjoyed the experience but the cash tables were kind of bad. I've been expecting good tables at 1/3, but mainly there were nitty weak tight players, a lot of them were buying-in with 100E (33 blinds) and played pretty fit/fold. In theory you can bluff cbet them very successfully but not when you play 4-5 way pots. I made a little bit of profit despite the fact that I ran pretty awful, lost a few very big pots with 2nd nuts but I've improved my live game and I'm looking forward to grind some more live sessions.

Online went kind of break even, not a lot of volume due the fact that I was gone 3 weeks, tomorrow I'll go to Bucharest to play cash game at Unibet Open, I'm very curious how the field at the cash game tables will be.

I will be back soon with an update after the Unibet Open, until then GL to you all!!!

Hi guys,
The Unibet Open Bucharest was great, the first Unibet Open I've been to, and I'll definitely play satellites to the next events. I only played cash games, the field was very soft, much better than at Rozvadov, and I've heard that the MTT's were very soft too. The location and the staff were great, I'm really looking forward for the next UO.

I've been playing online too this week, but not so much because of some health issues. I'm planning on playing online for the rest of the year, and work on my game off tables too.

Good luck to you all
