I decide to start a motivational blog/diary to keep regular updates and hear opinions from other members.The main reason i start this is because i am a (semi) expert dude on full ring turbo single sng format of poker and it will be a pleasure to hear any opinions

My poker life story at short:


I was a loosing player on online poker while i was crushing my friends.We used to play 5euros bi cash or tournament and in about 50 times i was loosing only 2,but unfortunately i was loosing and loosing in online poker.Then i came in coclusion that online poker is rigged because i saw terrible bad beats and i dont mean AK vs AQ preflop.I mean straight over straight and quads over quads.Back then i have no idea of bankroll management and ofc no idea of variance.I accedentally read a blog of a poker pro which had regular updates of how he turned from 2$sngs playing 60$ and above.And this was a huge motivational blog for me.Every time i runned bad i was there and read.From then i watch 100+ videos.I learnt equity,i learnt how to exploit regulars,i learnt icm etc etc.I took a shot following 50bi in normal speed sngs in 5.5$ and i was good.Better than everyone regular.I felt it inside me.I have a big edge.But unfortunately there was not much traffic.I try to learnt the turbo(variance format).I runned bad but because of bankroll management i was still in good shape.Then i studied and studied and studied and here i am


The reason i start this blog is to give motivation to new players to improve their game and study more.Moreover i would like to see that variance is a huge part of the game and they cant do anything to avoid it


Guidelines to new players:


1)All people experience variance, you run good you run,thats poker folks
2)When start learning the format,dont have in mind i need to make money.No one can make a living from 3$-5$ sngs unless plays 11hrs per day
3)When start learning the format,you should have two goals a-become the best in your limit b-learn the game PERFECTLY
4)Last but most important.BANKROLL MANAGEMENT IS THE KING OF POKER.(or at least the king of online one)You must use 100bis for turbo format and 50bis for normal speed

I played many formats in poker full rings sngs,shorthanded sngs,180 man,45man,18man,big mtts and cashes but i feel i clearly have an edge on full ring sngs.I didnt have much success in other formats and in my opinion this format has the less variance,even though i had experience 50bi downswing

Now i use 100bi bankroll management and allow my self to withdraw any money above this.I play regularly 11$ on ongame network now because i really like and i really enjoy them.I dont know why but i believe that you must be happy with what you do in order to be good,and i didnt ever enjoyed stars and the best software isnt excist anymore(full tilt baby!!!)


Every critisism on me is welcome but i would like to keep this blog polite I will post my goals for every month which they will be volume goals mostly but improvement also

Unfortunately i had a problem with my pc and i only have 3.5k of my games(some backup of the good old tilt days and some on pokerstars.But unfortunately most of pokerstars are lost )

My graph from full tilt,stars and ongame ONLY full ring sngs:





My bankroll currently stands at 924$ from 1100$ that i need on 11$ turbo sngs,because i tilt away some yesterday which will never ever happen again.Another reason for this blog to exist


Finally a bonus from this blog is the following.I am involving in sports betting(only football) so i will give some ''tips'' here for free.How it will go:

I have a bankroll of 2000euros only for sport betting.Every bet we will place it will be for 100euros meaning we have 20bets.We can withdraw once time per month any money above the starting capital of 2000euros.Sometimes i will give online ''tips'' of corners so keep a mind in my blog to make some profit

My longterm goals:


All people have goals so i have no difference from the others except i am cool

My first goal is to start coaching some people in 3-4 months from now because i really like to have 1-2 regular students so they will sent me their hh to review,ask me hands,watch their play and advice them.Not for free ofc but for a small payment.At least on their start


My second goal is to become a professional sports bettor.What is this meaning?I would like to open a site like a tipster and give tips with a small monthly payment.But ofc i need to prove first that i am able to do that.I make approximately 1000euros monthly from that only so i believe i can help some people with a starting capital.But for now its free here


My third goal is: in the near future i would like to start involving more actively in shorthanded sngs because the traffic on full ring sngs above 30+ even on stars really really sucks


Short term goals:


1)Play 2k sngs in November
2)Increase my first place percentage from 10.9 to 11.5


I hope you will follow my blog and you will really really find it pleasuring and enjoyable!!!(if you find any grammatical or alphabetical mistakes-i dont mind )

I hope i will help many people

Wish you luck and god helps with every decision!!!

hi m8,

Interesting read, i will follow this. I am a stars reg on hyper 7-30usd 6max s'n'gs. i will post some graphs when i figure out how to do it.

GL for now.

How did you get into sports betting and how did you get to be profitable. Have you done a lot of reading on it? Its something that has always interested me.

Nice..how many tables do you play? Will be waiting for updates

when i decide to start betting i was reading 5-6 hours so i know every detail of the team considering statistics,past meeting,the abscence of players,home/away performance etc etc.Two years now the football game became more and more nitty because the differences of the teams are smallish When i was in school i betting a lot in draws because you get 3 times your money.Now i am reading and i just need to be profitable.Bankroll management is the key to the success.Playing 100 euros from 2000euros means you have 20 bets.The rest are reading

When i was on stars i play 20-25 tables.Table ninja ftw.Now on ongame i play 8-10 because of the bad traffic.I think 15 is doable with stack and tile but there arent so much tables running in the morning

Thank you.Hyper turbo?Good luck.I hate variance in these

So far so good with the football tips. How much do you make/do you aim to make a week from it? Do you just bet on the weekend games? Also white sites do you use for the stats. Cheers.

I dont aim in some point per week but a 1000+ monthly having 2000euros bankroll is my goal.On AVERAGE.Some months will be at 3000+ some in -500(extremely rare)

No i bet every time i find good games.Meaning that in some point i would bet in tuesday but no in saturday if i dont find any good games.Furthermore i never bet in national teams because it is hard for me to read statistically so i cant make safe predictions.Maybe i ll play then by soul and not big

Soccerstats and soccernet.espn.go for stats.But my predictions are based in more than just stats.I do care about them a lot but it is not the only thing.Moreover i see many teams live and i understand how they play home and away and they general philosophy

nice day yesterday in football tips.So lets take a look today

1)from italian league

atalanta-cagliari 1 2.1*100euros
udineze-siena 1 1.61*100 euros

2)from english premier league

fuhlam tottenham 2 2.3*100euros

3)from brazilian league

atletico paranaense vs atletico goiense 1 1.9*100euros
america mg vs corinthians 2 1.57*100 euros


and i will bet 27euros in:

rayo vallecano vs real sociedad x-x 4.75
velez sarfield vs boca x-x 4.33
union de santa fe vs nuels old boys x-x 4.33

they are three draws and if we win we gain 2445euros and clearly we are freerolling this from the 227 euros we gain yesterday.Wish us luck and fingers crossed

Two very good days from football betting in this weekend with a total profit of 492euros Today i will not play any football matches but i will grind a bit

Football starting capital: 2000 euros
Football current capital: 2492euros


I will give you a poker update every 500 games.I hope we will have a better football program for tomorrow

Good luck at the tables

bad day for poker today All my hands are dominated (even AKs into KK) and 4-5 straight early looses (QQ,KK into AA all times).Even when bigstack pushes 80% and i call with AK somehow he turns 66 xaxa

But thats poker folks, and variance is part of the game(still in profits because i cracked some hands )

A little break now and two funny hands from the morning session

Hey op, I'm a bookie from England. Interested in how long you've been betting on football for? And how many months profit compared to losses? Like you said, I agree bankroll management as with poker is vital with sports betting, do you aim to raise your stakes when winning a certain profit?

nice picks in football m8, well done!!

will follow the sports betting as I just got back into it a little bit too, mostly spewing tho lol.

glgl

i football betting from school always a passion but back then i done it for fun.You know, 3-6 euros and mostly in draw.While i start playing regularly in my country, every month i was in profit although i played 3 matches+ each time because opap rarely let the players bet in one or two matches only and those are when rivals teams were playing

Now i play mostly online because i like betting one team each time.I never experience a loosing month so far not even a breakeven one.Fingers crossed i ll continue to make good choices


Bankroll management is a key to everything with short term luck involved and this is the key concept that makes people thinking that everything with luck is gambling.I prefer saying it is investing


I would like to see my self within the year betting 1000euros+ per team.Meaning i need a bankroll of 20.000+.Thats why isnt in my itentions any withdrawl.Always i will use 1/20 of my bankroll in each bet.But after i reach this limit of 1000euros per team i will use a 30bi bankroll management meaning i will bet 1500 when i will have 45000euros(hopefully till the end of next year)

thank you.Pray to continue like that so we will both have profits

i hope you will follow poker too Thank you.Good luck to you too

It wasnt in my itention to post a graph before 500 games but i will post my graph from todays session because i firmly believe that is a good lesson for everyone

so my graph:





As you can see i had a very bad day.What we can understand from the graph?Most of time i made the correct shove/call and most of the time the money was in good.Now as we can see one more time bankroll management is the key because even if you play a good game the variance can kill you.Loosing 10bis from 100 is nothing.So imagine one player with 25bi loosing half his bankroll in one session.It would be very cruel.Especially if the player is in the beggining which means he doesnt have a clear edge and feel of the game.I feel i am one of the best regs in this limit and i have a clear edge in others regs.Even though i had a big swing So remember: BANKROLL MANAGEMENT IS THE KEY

Secondly i must say that the players who havent any edge in the game they choose to play they will experience bigger and bigger daily swings because they cant make a maximum profit when they are winning and a minimum lost when they are loosing.So choose a game and try to be the best.It is much better than learn 3-4 different formats and be a breakeven player.Just my opinion.I like winning not be breakeven


Now the matches on football today arent something special because of the small varianty of the games.I will suggest the following games

from english troffy: swidon town vs wimbledon 1 1.61*100euros
from scotland league 3: elgin vs montroouz 1 1.61*100euros
annan ath vs piterhend 1 1.5*100euros
from brazilian league 2: salgeiro vs bragadino 2 1.72*100euros


Sorry that i made all the mistakes in the names of the teams but i see them in my language and i dont know how i should write them exactly.Good luck and fingers crossed again


Btw when they ask how i imagine my life and what dreams i make.I think something like that http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417217/

follow u with Annan Athletic seems a good bet even without team news.

thank you.lets wait and see

Another winning day today.I really thought we gonna have 4/4 but swidon betrayed my trust and equalized in 82'.Too bad because it would be an awesome day.Now...just decent with 3/4.Anyway still a nice profit of 84.27euros


Football starting bankroll: 2000euros
Current bankroll standing: 2576euros


Unfortunately there isnt much traffic nor tomorrow neither on weekend because national teams are playing

Too bad Swidon too bad

As long as its not this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103759/ you have my blessing

Hey mate gl with your goals, I was just wondering, you state the two teams that are playing each other than you just put x-x 4.33 and **** like that at the end, what does that mean? Can you please explain it, also it doesn't say what team you pick too win
