Hey guys I am relatively new to posting on this forum but I want to share my entire poker experience from when I started around 2 years ago. I started with a $500 roll being able to build it up quite fast as I ran like god and felt like I had the game crushed at 50nl. A little after I started losing I started becoming the biggest degen requesting flips and also multi tabling in 600nl HU on ftp which ultimately leads to me being busto on ftp.

I restarted on pokerstars grinding 24 tables of 5nl after wining 13 dollars from a freeroll and was able to build that up to eventually $1500 moving up from 5nl-25nl. Once I was able to hit the 1500 mark I became break even for the longest time. I became a VPP pro at poker stars which was really demotivating.

I heard of a new sight called Mansion Poker on the IPK network where I was able to get close to 80% rake because of being able to achieve diamond and collect massive rake from that and also a 10$ unlimited bonus to clear. I went to buy Minimax and everything I needed to start my new poker journey on this sight. I started at 25nl and for a long time I was able to beat it for 5bb/100 over 300k+ hands and I was also able to make massive income through rake. I felt good in my game at this time and decided to take a shot at 50nl but when I moved up I went on a huge downswing. I moved back and forth from 25-50nl taking shots nonstop but each time I would be pushed back down. I eventually finally started making a little bit of money at 50nl and moved to 100nl which was where I got destroyed and gave up.

In came a good friend of mine and he saw the trouble I was going through and also noticed that I was getting unbelievablely good rake because I am a insane grinder and got VIP at mansion. He helped me out and coached me a bit and staked me for 10k to play 50nl 6max hoping to eventually move to 200nl 6max. I was able to beat it for the first 50k hands pretty hard and going through 1000-1700 swings a day was just crazy at 50nl standards. My swings where now almost as big as my friend and I was getting kinda worried as my roll can not really take swings this big. My friend also helped sweat me a lot during my sessions and looked through all my hands noting what was wrong and right but I felt like I was still not improving.

After a while my mansion account got screwed over because Minimax decided not too update their program and it was not compatible until they do. I was stuck unable to multi table on mansion anymore and stopped playing completely.

I did a lot of studying in the mean time reading a wide variety of forums and also had a lot of study sessions with a few of my friends which are mid-high stakes grinders.

I came back to poker not long ago starting on FTP depositing 200bucks and starting all over at 5nl and from here on out I have decided to make videos of my sessions and post it on the forums and hopefully get good feedback and good criticism on my play. My mic currently does not work but I intend to buy one as soon as possible for future videos. I really hope I can move up fast and be back at regular stakes within the next few months. Wish me luck!

Hey guys sorry I haven't been posting any updates yet but would any of you know if there is a poker blog I can post on where I can post poker hands. I don't wanna spam like 30 hands in 1 post and feel its probably better if I can post it all in a blog instead.
