Good day to all! I decided to create a blog for many reasons, the main ones are perhaps what I plan to start streaming on Twitch or YouTube, it is generally interesting for someone to find out, and just speak out)
My name is Jurij 30 years old, I am from Ukraine, Kharkov. I'm started poker career at the age of 13 in an online MMO))) you tell me - are you crazy? Just a little bit, but more on that later...) games very well developed my perseverance and norms of attitude to monotonous work, while fencing off from the ghetto...
I turned 18 and decided to play poker on pokerstars, my nickname there is 777Koresh777, having replenished my account with $ 11, I have never replenished it more..
The first thing that I started playing at stars of the SnG for 25-50 cents) played up to $ 50 and merged to $ 30, tilt a little - I registered MTSnG for $ 4.40 180 people in which with a bad beat I won from 3rd place I took 1st and 240 $ for about a night, then I was very happy) but it was scary to play them further, because I was incredibly lucky.
I found out that there are double or nothing tournaments and I really liked the idea, I started from the bottom, I remember a maniac from these SnG rs03rs03 nickname, who took a supernova in tournaments for $1, playing ~70 windows)) I got up to touring 5-10$ and I realized that studying at the university was unnecessary for me, already then I was dragging $800 per month on average and dropped out of the university. Teamplay Chinese appeared, thanks to whom pokerstars blocked doubles or nothing and made fifty50. I tried it, it was not at all... Now what?
I installed a program for the SnG and MTT TournamentShark, it showed who has what profit. I decided to ride with her and imitate those who have a large profit of MTSNG - the first month of wow $1.5-2k, the second $3-3.5k more than I got only 1 reg on the limit AntonVL or AlexVL I don't remember) with ROI is about 100% SnG, I learned a lot looking at his game, we often reached the final/semifinal with him) and then I kept about $3k always, how much money it was at that time, I felt like the king of the world) although not huts no property, nothing, but look at me 3k $ dragging))
Years go by, I'm about 22. Blocking US players. It's fu*ked up, online has dropped a lot, income fell to $ 800-1000 after 3k stable ... even painful February where I lost 13 times in a row on preflop AA-KK was $1.5k profit ..
What's next? At the stars there was a Battle of the Planets with TLT and prize money, I thought - well, why not. The prize money was beating the buy-in, you have to play only 100 SnG per week. It was difficult, I had to roll a few tables, no more than 6, there are a lot of heads-ups, usually I played ~ 25 tables but full. I started to rank in the top 5 world in SnG... $500 in prize money per week, plus what I get in tournaments. And the stars decided to cancel the battle of the planets. Super!
I'm about 24 years old, I again ride MTSnGs and then I learn from the regulars in chat that there is such a program HM2 and I have a losing on it, but at the same time in MTSnG I play as a plus, is that even possible? I started to try to find out what it is, what a 3bet vip prfr is, I played poker for about six years without these stats))) I became very interested first of all to transfer them to the cash game, I quit the MTSnG and MTT right away, although sometimes returning, just for fun...)
I climbed the limits up to nl25, sat on it for about a year and a half, stuffed 1.5-2k$ and did not strain, all my attempts to beat nl50 were unsuccessful.
One very sad event happened in my life and the life of my loved one, which I will not announce. It was a huge stimulus for me to start playing for days on end, because we needed money. I took a supernova(which was canceled next month) BRILLIANT !!! Play cash when rakeback is canceled! But I dabbled in poker playing a huge number of hands for many hours (thanks to MMO games in my childhood), while rereading my favorite poker books, I noticed that at nl50 I was very nervous, my heart was pounding and my game was getting worse, I started to study cardio training and found the best way to increase my heart volume - you need to run with a pulse of 120-130 beats per minute for an hour, 3 times a week. Half a year later, I conquered nl50. Having broken this limit, all other limits up to nl1k fell behind it over the next few months. At that time, I was already earning about 10k $ per month..
And that's all, life was good through pain and suffering, solid profits. BAM - adding a casino on pokerstars to a poker game... this is when you go bank with someone and the opp doesn’t press all-in, but divide by EV type (throwing you on slots / roulette whatever you call it but this is NOT poker, its my opinion, poker is a game where live people vs live people not people vs casino) your fate is in the hands of a fish who thinks which button to choose) and there are many tables, it’s not very pleasant to wait for each player. If it could be solved as with two boards, that is, two players must be in favor, but no - welcome to the casino, even if you didn't want to) so what? I lost -20k in EV for a month and a half, despite the fact that at that time I was a regular nl200-1k, I freak out and score on the game for a while leaving with huge shortfalls ... just to get distracted, it was the beginning of the 19th year.. but the most fu*ked up was further..
After the summer of the 19th, I decided to come back for sure, since the summer games are not very much, I decided to wait for September. Summer is over - my stepfather is dying, all the close ones are in mourning, my mother just started to go crazy, and so on, in general, you will not wish an enemy... I urgently need to play poker, support my family... Blocking the number of tables - ordered?! 4 tables max it's a joke? I stopped sleeping and eating and drove myself to psychosis. I told you that I'm a little crazy)
They put me in a psychiatric hospital. A month later, I was released... my own father was diagnosed with schizophrenia, I was never given this, although one of the best psychologists in the city said that this is a mild form of bipolar that can be curbed. But the diagnosis was never made.
After leaving the psychiatric hospital, the family is still in mourning, I have very terrible nightmares every other day, I go under tranquilizers, I do not look like myself and I fall into a moderately severe degree of depression. I just lay on the sofa for 4 months as a vegetable, too lazy to do everything, I sleep 16 hours a day, suicidal thoughts every hour, I did not even suspect before that why people can kill themselves. I hope you will not experience such emotions, live happily without letting problems absorb you.
Thanks to one person, I managed to get out of depression this spring, and now I live with her and will not exchange for anyone) but that's a completely different story ..)
This summer, I decided to return to poker again, after one and a half year break.. having played a little on stars in 4 tables(uffff), it became obvious to me that in order to return and get a normal experience it’s like hammering Everest through and through with a pick. I chose another poker room, I don’t know why I didn’t consider it seriously this option before. I started playing on the Winning Poker Network Pokerking(Americas Cardroom in US) under the nickname DonButtON. And I was shocked by the huge rakeback, bonuses, good online, promotions - WHY DID I NOT DO IT BEFORE? !!!
nl50 hello again my old friend, slipped very much, lost ~3k$ in a month and a half .. but broke through it and as before, all other limits fell after nl50, only this time not to nl1k, but to nl5k, for which he turned against me every regular in the room, except, perhaps, those who have big profits.
September 16k $, October 25k $, November 57k $. As for EV, neither overkill nor underpayment, nice! On one Russian poker forum, they even created a topic in which I allegedly use third-party software and so on, I am very flattered that high-rollers perceive my game this way) but for unfounded accusations, of course... let them arrange for me to check with complaints to the support. I do not mind.
This blog is not about how poor, unhappy I am, have pity on me, I assure you everything is more than excellent)
It's more about the fact that any garbage that falls on your head is surmountable and you can turn a lot of failures into + bb/100)
PS: Sorry for my bad English, if this beginning of the blog comes to you, I'll post the charts and you can chat about what I love the most, poker, with the analysis of my hands of course.
