Introduction
Hi everyone
I play poker mainly as a hobby. But won't mind playing full time if I get good enough. I have been a winning player at microstakes(2NL, 5NL and 10NL on stars). I have also won a decent amount of money in live poker. But I am certainly not good enough yet to be a full time player.
Purpose of this thread
I think writing my poker thoughts will help me with my tilt problems. Also putting my poker thinking process into words will help me clarify my understanding of poker.
I am not a good writer so I am not expecting this thread to get popular or something. But the point is even if no one else reads it, writing my thoughts will still be beneficial to my game.
I do play a lot of crazy hands(sometimes because of tilt and sometimes because of good reads on my opponents). So I will be sharing any hands which I think might be interesting. I also plan on sharing my worst played hands so that may be the embarrassment will help me prevent from doing stupid things.
Past poker experience
I used to play on pokerstars before it got banned at my location.
I played on pokerstars at around year 2016-2017. After it got banned in my location I have been playing some live and some on untracked asian websites. Mostly winning but not too much volume.
My pokerstars all time graph graph (mostly 2NL,5NL,10NL and very little 25NL):
I started playing on 888 this year with initial deposit of $10 on 888 poker.
The reason why started playing with only $10 is because my aim from online poker currently is not to make money but to improve as a poker player. The money I make from poker comes from live poker. So in a sense its kind of a bankroll challenge. But I don't have a specific target in mind(may be I should set a target?). I just want to see how far can I go.
So far this is how its going on 2NL on 888:
I am planning to move up to 5NL when I have at least have $100.
My play volume
I am not a high volume player. I like to play regular tables and like to develope reads on opponents and play exploitative poker. Usually I play only 2 regular tables at a time.
Also I like to take breaks from poker when I get tilted which further reduces play volume. Sometimes I will get so tilted that I need 3-4 days to recover. So I might not post updates very regularly.
