My name is Alex, I am from germany and I am 19 years old.
I used to play poker before, I won many times the Battle of Planets and won some small tournaments. So one can say that I am an experienced player.
I opened this blog to improve my english skills and to share my road to success with you.
What will I play?
I want to play cashgame, in the first post of this blog I will post my BRM.
Furthermore I will be playing MTTs and SNGs. First post of this blog to see my limits.
First day: Played some cashgame, could double my BR to 360€
Second day: Some SNGs, mostly cashgame, BR to 415€
Third day: Showed my girlfriend PLO and won 60€ on PLO25, BR to 465€
Fourth day(today):
Started with the 27$ Progressive NLO8 MTT, no KO, no cash.
Played a few 5$ and 11$ 90-men PKOs, only got some bounties, but no relevant cash.
Then I took some shots at Cashgame NLHE Zoom, won few very pretty hands.
To end the day, I played a 30$ spin and go for fun, lost with A8 against A5 pf ai. BR to 703,41€
Id take shots to move up quicker if I was you, you are young and don't have any responsibilities so just go for it, more along the line of 25-30 buy ins of the next level to move up, move back down at 20

Hi Fayth,
thanks for replying to my blog.
Acutally I've got a few responsibilities. I am working 40 hours a week.
When I played and won a little bit, I went up to NL200 or PLO200 and lost big, because my BRM is like the stupidest thing you've ever seen.
My goal is to change it and have a good BRM. Thats why I want to use a strict BRM now.
I didn't post hands or my finishes in MTTs and SNGs, this will also change now.
Today I won't play that much, only a few hands on zoom.
How about my first hand posted in this blog?
NL16 zoom, played the hand in german, 2+2 only converts english hand histories. I am the SB.
Changed the language back to english and I will also post my BR in € and in $
Hey guys,
today I started playing with 3 NL16 and 1 ZOOM NL 25 Table.
Went okay, lost a bit, started playing 4 ZNL25 tables.
Lost a bit, many ugly hands.
Ended up playing PLO200 and NL200.
200 max. 1 table at once.
BR is now at 966,40€/1079.11$
First hand: Pretty sick play by him and I got lucky that I held.

Hey guys, I have to admit.. I am so ****** ashamed of myself.
I played way too ****** high for my BRM.
I played FL O8 15/30, lost so much.
Went back to PLO 500 ZOOM, and won there.
I blocked myself for any limits higher than NL/PLO50 and FL50.
I hate myself for that.
In this session I got like 6k StarsCoins and won a bit.
Br is at 1,484.90€ / 1,664.63$ + 27$ Step Ticket + 14k StarsCoins
Tomorrow I am not going to play. I need a break of my stupidity.
Will play some MTT's on Saturday evening, including the 100k$ Goldstar Freeroll.
I dont know and I cant explain why I do this. Money doesnt mean anything to me, big disadvantage when you always have everything you needed. I also donated much of my winnings.
I think I will need a better mindset, going to buy a book.
I hate myself for my instable mindset. Just sucks.
Hi, i don't think that line will work much against regs, because it's a standard move and villains will check the ace to induce bets. it's a dangerou sline but if it was in the right spot, agains teh right villain maybe it will work, i don't know. but i won't do that much often
only played 5 MTTs this evening.
30k Freeroll for silverstars, busted.
100k freeroll for goldstars, BTN raised to 2bb, I pushed from SB with 10bb with A3o, BB decided to call with T7o. lol Unfortunately he got lucky.
Played the 11$ Bounty Builder, doubled up but busted without any bounty.
Also played a 11$ PLO MTT, lost with nuts on flop, which where also nuts on turn, when we went all-in, he only had a flushdraw and obvious he hit.
Last torunament was the 27$ PLO Badugi, where I bought in with my step 2 ticket. I won it for 143,91$ + 145,40$ in bounties.
Makes 289,31$ for this tournament.
Yo guys,
today I went out for a jog, only 2.5km but I didnt go jogging for half a year.
Then I played a 11$ PLO8 Mtt, which I lost, then I played a 5$ 6-max HT SNG, won it with 4 KO's and for 7,14 or so. Makes 16,66 with bounties.
Won 33,76$ at PLO25Z.
Played a few satellites, lost 2 7,50$ PLO sats, won the 5,50$ Sat to the 82$ NLO8, but lost almost instantly the 82$ tournament.
Played the 27$ PLO Progressive KO, where I won 70,40$ in bounties, but lost every hand in the end, didnt make it to the money.
For fun I played the 7,50$ NL HT PKO, but lost first hand, pushed with A7 in AQ with 7,5bb starting stack.
