Hi
I was thinking about starting to play online poker again. Main reasons are:
- I like poker
- Some extra cash would be nice, though need to build a roll first
- I have too much spare time after work/in weekends
This thread is to keep track of my results. English is not my first language so pardon in advance for any mistakes in words and/or syntax.
My first steps in online poker go back to 2008-2009. The last time I seriously played goes back to 2014-2015 I think.
I was never a very good poker player, mainly because I am (or was) very tilt sensitive and have (or had) problems sticking to proper bankroll management.
I have no idea about my all time results, but overall it's probably negative.
I have played everything from 6-max NLHE cash, hyper turbo SNGs, MTTs (mostly turbo and hyperturbo). The idea is to get started again with € 250,00 playing 6-max cashgames.
I came up with something like this: (stakes / minimum BR / 5 buy-in shot at higher stake from / move down stake when BR <)
2NL / 80 / - / -
5NL / 200 / 350 / 150
10NL / 400 / 875 / 300
25NL / 1000 / - / 750
Which means I will be starting at 5NL. Shotting 10NL from 350,00 and moving down to 2NL from 150,00.
I have an account at BWIN with two bonusses running as of yesterday.
One is a reload bonus which gives me 10% rakeback, to be cleared in 10 steps. I need to rake 2760 dollar in one month to fully clear the bonus which seems impossible. Maybe if I can get to 10NL, I can clear some steps.
The other one is the reward program where I'll probably get 20% rakeback.
I was trying to set up Pokertracker 4 yesterday, but it looks like I can't get handhistory files from BWIN anymore. So can't track my own progress on this site, let alone using a HUD. Of course I only found out after I signed up for the reload bonus... I hope they implement downloadable handhistories asap (I read somewhere they where trying for Q1 2020)
I will be 4-tableing 5NL Fast forward. The goal is to play 30 hours/month or between 20k - 25k hands/month. The main goal however is to not tilt and to stick to the BRM. No monetary goals, let's just see how it goes to start with.
If you have any questions or want to give advice, don't hesitate to post in here.
See you at the tables
