Hi guys i'm back! aka richierichnz, ThePokerGuruNZ and TheSmartestBrain.

I decided to create a new username.

I know I am very good at creating new usernames and new threads in this forum. However I am back for good now...

Here is my 5 minute video introduction to The Team Card Sharks community initiative:




So it's time to make money at online poker. I've given up on video poker and online trading (the stock market is sunk anyway with all the corona virus going on).

My Online poker times - 10-2pm NZT and 7-11pm NZT Monday to Friday (+12 GMT).

I'll be streaming LIVE on my twitch channel
https://www.twitch.tv/cardsharks

I will be blogging video highlights from all my social media sites.

Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cardsharksnz
Twitter - https://twitter.com/richierichnz1
You tube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL4...TCXQfMuQ60r5ow
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cardsharksnz
Discord - https://discord.gg/vMq9zxu

I will also teach you guys how to edit videos and post on you tube and also how to mute your spotify whilst on stream, so you don't get copyright infringements against your name.

I'll also be playing the Sunday Million at least ONCE a month. My goal is to make a 1K payday, so I can play the Million every week.

The Daily / Sunday Marathon looks like it has been scraped by PokerStars, so the only big option to play is the Sunday Million.

Also you guys are welcome to join my PokerStars Home Games Club.

It looks like mixed games are scarce on PokerStars too, so maybe we should create a badugi table and a few other games too.

My PokerStars home games details are as follows:

Open the main poker lobby, then click on the Home Games tab.

Click the 'Join a Poker Club' button
Enter my Club ID number: 3473328
Enter my Invitation Code: becomeapokerprotoday

Finally, I just thought i'd point out that my goal is to make 50bb/100 hands at 2NL online poker. I know i've done this before and I know that number doesn't really count for much until i've got a large sample size of hands played..

However this is my strategy and I will be 3/4betting with AA-J10. I also will be 2-3 barrelling alot too against tight opponents on dangerous boards.

So without further ado, the 3/4bet king is here! Daily episodes will be posted daily on my you tube channel.

Talk soon!

#LetsDoThis

Tell me in the comments if you can insta-call all in with 2nd pair on the flop?



Back on Thursday with another episode!

#LetsDoThis!!

Been playing PLO last few days. Goal is to make a few thousand at that on ggpoker and use it to play the marathon on stars. Last plo tourney I had JJ for trips on flop. Flop was JTx. I put the other guy in and he showed AKQJ. He could hit the A, K, Q or 9 with 2 cards to come (12 outs) its a coin flip. He hit the Q on the river to cripple me. Otherwise I would of been a big chip leader. Just managed to scrape into the money. That is 2x ITM today. I’ll let you know when I’ve done 5x in a row ITM and you’re welcome to buy some of my action... yes gg poker does that. I’ll offer bits of my action to people... although still learning how staking works. So #LetsDoThis

Will stream tomoro on my twitch page. There will be no video reviews due to no video playbacks on gg poker. Also gg poker doesn’t work with pokertracker. Back in 9 hours time at 7.30am NZT on twitch. So #LetsDoThis



Please note: the tournament that is in progress that you can see on the screenshot, I made $1.84 for 20th place. So that's about $8 earnt today. Breaking even overall since I started the PLO tourneys.

I know I can win these tournaments. Will play the 7.35am, 11.35am, 3.35pm and 7.35pm NZT $1 PLO "Omaholic" tournaments on ggpoker.

See you all tomorrow!

financial goals on PokerStars:
==============================

PLO

- to play 8 hours a day Mon to Fri.

- My main goal is making 50bb/100 hands at PLO

Goal bankroll - $1,500 usd by 1st Nov.

- i will probably get there faster - by moving up the limits
(30 buy ins in hand required)

================================================== =

Plans @ 2PL

$1 per 100 hands (50bb/100 hands)

play 250 hands per 4 hour session.
- 500 hands per day = $5 profit at 2PL

July 2020 - 25 days @ 2PL to $150 bankroll.
5 days a week = 5 weeks, including last week in June.
(So that covers June / July 2020).

================================================== =

Plans @ 5PL

$2.50 per 100 hands (50bb/100 hands)

play 250 hands per 4 hour session.
- 500 hands per day = $12.50 profit at 5PL

August 2020 - 12 days @ 5PL to $300 bankroll
5 days a week = 2 1/2 weeks.
(so that covers up to 4th week in August)

================================================== =

Plans @ 10PL

$5 per 100 hands (50bb/100 hands)

play 250 hands per 4 hour session.
- 500 hands per day = $25 profit at 10PL

August - September 2020 - 18 days @ 10PL to $750 bankroll
5 days a week = 3 1/2 weeks.
(so that covers up to start of 4th week in September)

================================================== =

Plans @ 25PL

$12.50 per 100 hands (50bb/100 hands)

play 250 hands per 4 hour session.
- 500 hands per day = $62.50 at 25PL

September - October 2020 - 12 days at 25PL to $1,500 bankroll
5 days a week = 2 1/2 weeks.
(so that covers up to mid October)

How will I achieve this?

By playing a LAG style PLO by playing 80% of my hands and winning 40% at showdown.

================================================== =

At this point, I will split my bankroll in 1/2 to play 25NL and 25PL cash games, with 1 NLHE and 1 PLO 4 hour session per day Tuesday to Friday - 10-2pm NZT and 7-11pm NZT

-I will not play PLO and NLHE at the same time, as I am definately not a multi tabler

================================================== =

I will play the $55 Sunday Marathon every Monday morning at 1.30am NZT from October 2020.

- video hand reviews to follow daily Mon to Fri!

- will spend $55 a week on the Sunday Marathon from October 2020 (not from my bankroll) per week.

So #LetsDoThis

================================================== =

donks to play against @ 2PL:

Tincker - will call all in with anything
pysan - will call all in with anything


================================================== =

Enclosed is the photo of my pokertracker results graph and stats.

To be updated daily! Began yesterday's session badly but learnt to tighten up with non-nut hands and won more money in the long run.

Tomorrow I will post a video hand review from at least one PLO hand!

So #LetsDoThis

solid stream Richard!

i liked the confidence how you opened the HJ with Q742, or repotting the SB with 2237 rainbow. what's the point of learning poker if you have all the talent, isnt it?
