Hello,

I am a 25 year old guy that is somewhat addicted to poker i guess, because I always come back to this f*cking game. Im depressed and Im on pills atm, after my suicide attempts earlier this and last year. Altough i feel calm in my personality at this moment and I dont have much to do to fill up my days so I thought why not try to pick up poker again. Need to get some decent routines so the days feels more structurated and enjoyable again..

As far as my history to poker I started playing this game at about 17years age, and I've gotten back now and then in somewhat serious approaches which has yielded in some money. Ive played mostly at a swedish pokersite earlier where I've made the biggest winnings. I've played on PS/FT also in periods but those times I've lost money because of bad runs and tilt.

I am starting at NL25 at pokerstars, I will try to put in some hours every day and this will result in atleast 30k hands per month. Hopefully I can get a decent sample before next year and then the true grind begins where I will aim for supernova (200k vpps), Im hoping to step up to NL50 as soon as possible in 2015 so I can get VPP's faster.

I've got loads of different databases but this one is the biggest one from the swedish site (currency = SEK)

Todays graph. Im not a really lucky guy mostly in games, but today I was a little winner atleast when i got a milestone winning. A nice little boost to my BR.

I might be nitty here, but I'm not sure really. I have often called in this kind of spots earlier and met all kind of straights, 2p and etc, I dont think he bluffs enough here to find it profitable to call almost a pot bet.

Pretty interesting hand imo vs a fish (only 8 hands but fishy stats). I was thinking about folding firstly but tanked it awhile and finally made a call. Its a pretty wet board, good for bluffing on, sure there are loads of flushes, straights, sets which i loose to, but the onces i win are all other 2p's and all bluffs. All in all, i think this is a reallllly close call in the end, but i think its slightly protitable in the long run.

One more.

Im probably putting him on all sets (likely) and some flushes/bluffs (rarely). Im in position, I got nutflushdraws and a GS straight i just cannot fold here. I also want to keep his bluffs/semibluffs in (if there are any) that is why i dont really want to get it in here, I want to see the turn and see what he will do here. I think he really misplays turn here, I have a hard time thinking that I will show up with anything other than a flush here.

Pretty slow but stable day, didnt really get any good spots or valuebets after half the day but just gotta grind it out, good ending at the sess thanks to some fish.



My image is pretty nitty at the table and CO is a fish with a pretty high F3b hence I see a good spot to try to take down the pot pre, the rest pretty much speaks for itself, altough I'm not certain to push on river but i think its the best decision because fish might check back worse hands and often call with worse because fish is fish.

This is just funny, the guy hadnt really made any noice before on the table, he was involved in a bigger pot some hands before this (I dont remember if he lost it or won it). I'll just jam no fuzz and its a pretty fun to see what im up against.

Hand 1:

So this is vs a reg I don't really know much about and have no hands on really, I don't often bluff but this time I thought might be a good spot. I don't think he plays flush this way (even though it occurs), Im putting him on hands like Jx, 9x, 8x with his line, while I can rep flushes, sets, straights, 2pairs etc. Not really sure though if it is OK or if it is horrible.

Hand 2:

This is a spot where i find regs often bluff or play with weaker pairs/pps, I can likely be repping high pp's and 4's, hard to see I never bluff with a raise on river on this board and with this line, or what do you think? Maybe a lil higher raise on river but im not sure.

Month so far

Hello!
Gratz on the milestone.
I wish You good luck, will be watching your blog.
With 89 i think You should've just given up when he bet the river.Im not sure if he's bet\folding there.

Welcome and thank you sir.

Yes maybe i should've just given up on that board, my standard play is simply just to fold.

How many tables You're playing btw?
And why pokerstars?

I'm switching from 3-4tables zoom and 6 when I play reg tables.

And I'm playing stars because I simply just love the software. And also I feel like i develop my game more over at stars, I don't know why this is though.

If I compare to the other swedish site where I have my most volume put at, the software is just really bad. The EV-lines does not work propely because the v's mucks their hand. The only advantage is its really fishloaded, and full of crazy fish, yes that's a really good advantage but the sessions can get really swingy so you need to have a good mind handling this.

[QUOTE=Mrboogerboy;45455327]I might be nitty here, but I'm not sure really. I have often called in this kind of spots earlier and met all kind of straights, 2p and etc, I dont think he bluffs enough here to find it profitable to call almost a pot bet.

I would bet the turn and river here for value. If you sense aggression from the BTN, re-evaluate

No need to be depressed about ANYTHING man...Life is beautiful no matter what!!

I wish you good luck with your goals

Thanks for input. If I valuebet the turn and he raises/pushes, what will we do then? Versus most regs I just shoot 3 barrels (atleast the turn) here on this board but he seems like an aggro fish, just let him shoot with air or draws I want to keep the pot down I dont want all money in on this turn right? We are dead vs all 2p's straights sets. Now when I see this hand again I think the fold is even more nitty given the line I take.

I understand your logic behind c/c the last two streets. But if you were planning to call down his bets, a river call is justifiable for the line you took.

I got sick of poker last time out, tilted a bit but still ended up on NL25, now I depositet a small roll on stars and will try to grow this bankroll from NL10 --> ?.

I will only try to play zoom and I've became a bit nittier and only valuebet more cause people tend to call to much on these stakes

this month so far:



Running pretty bad imo but im glad to be up atleast.

Thanks dude.

Yeah depression is serious ****, everyone who knows someone who has it or if you had it yourself you know this. It's a bit better now so maybe I should change the thread topic.

IDK man, depression always seems to reappear even when run good happens. Maybe you should leave like it is as that who u were when u started the thread.

Played a bit, ran pretty well in the end.

I played some more afterwards, and it went really well. Also played some regulars table, just got to say jesus there is alot of fish. I just felt I had to go up and take a shot on NL25 and it went really well. Rungood obviously but I think the fish on the regulars beats the grind on zoom even though the volume is like the half when 6tabling regulars. How big roll do you think is good for NL25 regular table? Im thinking about switching from zoom to regular tables.. And also there's alot more creative poker that suits me well compared to the nonstop ABC poker **** because of table dynamic. Posting a few fun hands from NL25
