Hey,

I always wanted to start a blog on 2+2 so here I am. My name is Mike,29y old from Poland and im a poker pro.I keep making a living through poker but its not enough. I had a lot of ups and downs durring my short "poker career". Last year i switched from nl50 on pokerstars to chinese apps. I played on Pokermaster up to nl600. I was making some good money for a while and i moved to thailand for 6 months but then pokermaster got worse and colluding and bots killed my bankroll to a point where i had to move back. After a few months of a losing streak i started to hate poker and had to force myself to play and thats where I realized that i have to take a break from online poker. I played for the past 2 month only live poker.

Long story short - I decided to give pokermaster another try and i hope that this blog will help me to become the player that i always wanted to be.

I will post my graph every week so everyone can track my results and i will also post my weekly targets (volume, study, new habit etc. ) to get motivated and be more commited.

Sorry for any mistakes.English is not my native language

Hey,

I didnt play much for the last couple of weeks but i was still runing well for the time i played. This is how my month looks so far:




Im planning to play at least 100h this month so i need to step up a little bit

Good luck to you in your poker pursuit. Your english is just fine as well.

Thanks for the kind words DwayneB!

Another week passed by and this the graph:





Im planning to play at least 36h next week to reach my 100h volume goal for this month.

I need to start to work on my focus as i feel that i playing most of times on autopilot and thats one of the reasons why my redline drops so badly.

So when you ran well on pokermaster there was no bots or collusion. But when you went on downswing there is bots and collusion every where? You sure it wasn't that the regs found leaks in your game and exposed them? I think focus your energy on proper br management, finding leaks and fixing them then worrying about bots or collusion. Then your results long term will definitely be better. When I spot collusion I simply leave the table and go to another one. That is whats great about online poker you can just leave a table and go to another one in a few mouse clicks. Anyways gl on your journey.

Hey OP, firstly. Gl to your goal.
I'm a grinder on Chinese apps as well, I pretty much never had a bad losing streak in 8max games in 3 years of playing. I'm pretty sure yes there could be collusions in big games but for games that are lower than 40/80, there aren't many or at least if ur a good enough reg it wouldn't affect your win rate much. Anyways keep up the thread hope you come back with good news.
