Welcome to the 2nd greatest pokerblog in the world.
I'm Sauron92. I play under the screenname "92_sauron" on PokerStars.
I'm a 20 YO dude from Denmark and I currently study business administration at (business) university.
IRL I suffer from autism (well, I haven't gotten it checked, but I got a lot of symptoms), syringomyeli and some other random **** too.
I need to improve as a player and start making better results - I hope this thread keeps me motivated.
Poker "career" so far:
Spoiler:
warning: tl;dr. srsly do not read that ****. It’ll be boring as ****.
Spoiler:
Couldn’t help yourself, huh?
I started out playing a couple of live sng's with my school mates in the danish version of "college" at the age of 17. One of them has won a PLO HU SCOOP but I obv. pwned them all just playing TAG vs. him and outplaying the other fishes straight up Also played online but only freerolls.
tbh. I played very good and solid pretty much from the get-go. I didn't understand so much about ranges and wasn't 3betting the checkraiser where it now is completely obvious that he his range is like 85-90% bluffs/semibluffs and the rest is actual value hands. I've never been good at talking strategy with others but has been getting a tiny bit better over the years.
Anyway, from those freerolls I spun up a "roll" of $110 (!!!!!) by shortstacking PLO and playing sng's/mtt's.
I ended up saying **** this and took a shot at playing HU PLO for the roll as my 18th birthday was around the corner and would have to create new accounts anyway. I got sucked out on within like 10 hands and that was it
I turned 18. Deposited $20 to play a miniFTOPS on FTP. I went "deep" and made $150 or something like that. I played out my $20 bonus (as the idiot I was I didn't go bigger...), withdrew the money and deposited $60 on Stars thinking “now I’m freerolling” which was a major part of my plan with poker – it should NEVER affect my real life roll. Long story short. Ran good at PLO and went deep in some smallfield PLO mtt’s and had a roll big enough to start thinking about playing $5 DoN’s. I played a couple of them and was like “this is the ****ing bomb!!” – I understood the concept waaaaaaay better than 99% of the 50-tabling retard nit regs that played like 9/5/2 (or at least that what it seemed like since I didn’t have HUD ^^). Quickly moved up to $10 DoN. Decided I’d take a shot playing the Sunday Million - one of my goals starting out. Played awesome in it but like 100 players before reaching the money I 3bet jam AKo for 18bb into an UTG raiser – he tankcalled w/ KQo for his life despite me having a nit-rep at the time.. board ran out Q73 X X. FML - back to grinding $5 DoN's. Within a week I was back in the $10’s and had taught myself to 4-table (lol). Took shots at $22 but games were tougher and I ran bad.
Stars stopped offering DoN’s and I thought my life was over for a second
I looked around and saw Party had them too so I moved my roll to Party to play out a depositbonus playing DoN’s. I was destroying everything it seemed. I bought PT3 with partypoints and within weeks I was playing $33-$55 DoN’s while learning to 9-table. I was really LAG but it worked.
I was playing a few VIP freerolls and PLO on the side. I had a baaaaaad time playing PLO on Party but made that up by playing sng’s and those freerolls.
Soon enough the bonus was played out and I didn’t feel like playing Party anymore for some reason. Withdrew roll again => deposited on OnGame. Played out my bonus 6-tabling 5max turbo sng’s and stacking ~10 DoN on the side.
This is when I learned playing a lot of tables. Unfortunately those SH sng’s are 70/30 payout so you need to be pushing/calling…. WIDE! I was one of the only regs that I could see that actually made money pre RB on there while multitabling. At the time the whole push/call wide seemed awesome but has sort of ruined my head I think I’m such a spewtard now.
November 2011, we get the news that all sites are going to be taxfree and 100% legal to play on. This was awesome news as I could now get back on Stars (Stars had been taxed so I tried avoiding it after building a roll). I tried out a few games in december to try and find my maingame for 2012. Tried F50’s – hated them. Tried hypers and CRUUUUSHED over a small sample (also EV) but saw that everyone at $30’s (they only had $7 and $30 6max back then) was breakeven-ish in EV which I wasn’t looking so much forward to. Tried 18mans and I crushed - I ran hot as hell too - and decided that would be it.
January 2012, within 2 days I had won 80BI’s or something at the $15’s while 28- to 30-tabling them. This was it – this could be my new DoN’s.
…then came reality and regs started figured out my ranges and I was still in my 5max turbo mode regarding push/fold - I had adjusted a bit but not close to enough. ATM I’m looking at a 3000-4000 sng breakeven streak of horrific insane runbad, failing at every chance to move up and playing poorly. I’m still +EV in the games but it’s not ideal AT ALL. I’m running at my EV bb/100 but am 800k under EV for 18mans. The only level I really run good at is the first level so basically running bad in pretty much every spot in endgame and tbh I was getting coolered a ****load on top of that too.
I grew a bit tired of that kind of variance last month and I'ven gotten into the 6max turbo’s on stars until I get everything under control with exams, bankroll, skills and so forth.
I'm not much for showing my results so I'll only give you my MTT graph for now:
As you can see I don't really play much other than my sng's, but when I do I own your soul
WAUUUW TL;DR... anyway, if I don’t get better results during this summer break I’ll start looking into the possibility of maybe being coached/backed by the megatroll quadzzZzZzZzZz and his fishreg partner BPP if they’ll let me :P
I need to find some of that old “good/solid” spirit again and I’ll be playing a mix of 6max turbo’s and 18man sng’s. ATM I’ll be playing the $15’s. AS for exercise I’ll try to get a long walk or running session going ever ~3 days or so.
I don’t have money goals as such but more like improvement/volume/running/etc. goals.
I’d like to give you haters a bit of them sweet monies if I don’t succeed in my goals, but I’m too lazy to open accounts for that **** as we can’t do player-to-player transfers in Denmark anymore Instead I’ll let you guys decide my avatars on 2p2, Stars and PokerNet (Danish pokerforum) and whatever things I/you can think of.
ITT will be:
- Pics of MEAT/sweets/junkfood at complete random.
- Drunk posting.
- Music - old as new.
- Motivational video here 'n there.
- Beratings of me personally will be received ITT fo'sho'. It's almost encouraged :P
- Occasional cool HH's with the likes of thin river valuebet-instantsnapcall shove for life w/ ace-high weak kicker and being right.
- Maybe a HH or two w/ Q-high calldowns and me being a spewtard. They happen... too often
- Fellow breast lovers will kindly share their respective collections?
- Random bets? Could be "first to get 10k views @youtube" or something. I’ll update w/ stories if I catch any.
- Occasional strategy talk but it won’t be that much (lol, as if anyone cares what I think anyway ).
- Freerolls – please come with suggestions for fun/retarded/embarrassing freerolls.

June goals:
Quote the bet you'd like:
- Run/go for a walk at least 5 times. Freeroll reward: get to choose my avatar @PokerNet for a month.
- Play 2000+ sngs (only played 34 thus far due to exams). Freeroll reward: get to choose my avatar @PokerStars for a month.
- Play less tables until redline improves "enough" for 6max. Freeroll reward: Get to choose my avatar @2p2 for a month.
You get the reward if I DO NOT finish your selected goal!
The redline thing is a subjective call by me - I will be fair though
The avatar can be whatever you want as long as it's not child molestation or something like that.
Some random suggestions:
- "I like stix" as text.
- Picture of two gay men kissing.
- A picture of a nice lady (benefits everyone).
- Donald Trumph and his big bald head.
- My little pony:
Or whatever you can find on the interwebz these days
Again, if you can think of a better freeroll or something; let me know and I'll think about it

EV only says 1.6% thus far but obv lolsamplesizeaments. Tried a new setup today since I'm not stacking 25-28 tables anymore, but using tile and play ~18 tables instead. Not sure if I'm used to it yet though. I guess life's good - all done with exams, there's half price on the sunday majors and I got an old buddy coming over on monday for a quick visit.
This is some of the greater parts of life in Denmark:
Gonna watch some episodes of Lie To Me or New Girl and I'm off to bed.
