Hi, to present myself. I am 20ish year old student in my last year of uni. I am starting this Thread which I hope it will be a something like a blog where I put all my sesions and get people to laugh and giggle about my life (hopefully give some advice as well). My goals for this are:
1) Be honest with yourself
2) Systematically analyze my game
3) Dont ever (ever ever) go broke again.
4) Make a at good roll and put some money in savings account
5) Be a nice guy in general(this is my non-poker goal). simple right?
So to give some background.
I haven't been playing online since 2013(one of the reasons my game is weak now is that i stoped playing online) and transfered to live poker. It has been going well but I always manage to blow away the money I make(the curse of the young-aggresive-inteligent-wannabe-hero). And here am I again with 9GBP into my account. Which lead me to getting part-time job , got to pay the bills. I will start posting hands and sesions from next week.
Well thats in for now. GL on the tables

session N1
tournament 25+5, 68 runners
position : 2nd
Tournament summery:
I started playing very focused and observing all the action at the table. Grinded my stack from the original 15k starting stack to 50k in the first 4 levels(25/50,,,50/100,,,100/200,,,200/400). The last hand before the break was interesting. I am sitting on roughly 30k on the Button. a tightish guy opens to 1100 on 200/400 a guy on HJ calls, I deliberated 3bet with K9 but eventually decided to just call and the bb calls. pot is 5000 and the flop comes A K 5. OR c-bets 2100, guy in the HG reizes to 6500 (with 11k behind) I call on the button (I will tell you what I was thinking but i want to hear your responce first) OR folds. Turn 6 He checks i check behind. River is 4 he checks i bet 9k he calls and shows AJ off. .
After the first break I won a had with 99 vs A3. we went all in after i CR him on 853 board .(the guy had 30k originally).Went to about 100k while the avr stack was about 27k. Then i started to open too much hands, the usuall junk hands, J8off Q7off 58off and went to about 65k in just one level. I self acessed myself and tought I shouldnt be over aggresive because most of them will give me action on my Premiums anyway. so I chenged gear and went into the tight zone for a level.
Grinded my stack back to 100k and everything else went normal untill we reached the final table. The final table played pretty much standard. I started with 140k while the avr was 100k waited for good spots and play well untill we reached the heads up. Me with 700k vs old guy from Blackpool with 350k.
The guy was so predictable and so passive that i refused to chop the 1st and 2nd money so we played. First i grind him down to 200k then i double him up to 400k. Second time i grind him down to 300k then he shoves with open-ended on the turn againts my top two pair on A9610 board with J8 and binks a 7 .Then we went back and fort and he ended up floping the nuts with 67 on a 543 board while me having A2 .
Notes for the session
good emotion managment.
Study how to play big stacks when i have them because i obviously do some mistakes when i got 3x or 4x the avr stack .

Session N2
Live Tournament 20+5 Turbo (blinds change every 15 mins)
Runners: 41
Re-entries: 11
Place finished : 28
Tournament summary:
Action started very loose and passive from most players.
hand n1 the following action occur.
Blinds 25/50 (25k starting stack)
2 limps I open with 84 to 225 in CO. Button call and 4 other players call
pot (1350)
Flop comes down Q76
everybody checks to me I c-bet 700, lady on Button calls , SB check-reizes to 2100, I call , lady calls.
Turn 5 SB leads for 2k. I thought that his range here is mostly Q or some kind of 2 pair. set or straight drow was highly unlikely because of the bet sizing. I decided to reise him to 7k after wich the lady behind me folded. The guy called.
River 5 He checks i bet 7k (should I have bet more ?) and he calls and mucks his hand after i show the straight.
Aftar the hand I had more than 40k. on blinds 25/50 and again i didnt realize that on that level i should be playing more tight instead of increasing variance. During the next 4 levels I play 60% of the hands and my stack when down to 9k and back up to 22k. (unnecessary varience). on the next few levels i got KK,QQ and 88 and played them very well and boosted my stack to 70k while the average stack was (30k) and again didnt realized how good is my stack and istead of protecting it i spew 20k.
The break started and I had 50k. After tried to get into position where I can get some chips but it didnt go my way and I found my self with 40k stack after 15 hands. when the next situation happened. I limped with QT off UTG (the table was very passive, I want to hear if someone else thinks is it ok to limp with this hand) and a guy shoves all in for 6k without looking his cards. I guy (who i share history alot with and know that i can be very aggresive) calls from the SB , the BB folds and i reshove for 40k ??? (another questionable move) and after too much delibareting the guy in the SB looks at me disgusted says "calls" (he covers me with about 50k) and shows KT off.....my image has come in to bite me in the *** . the board bricks out and thats its for me.
Notes for the session:
I found myself daydreaming from time to time and loosing focus, which results in me missing important information about my opponets tendancies.
How should I recored hands? and which hands to record.?
Be more aware when playing with big stack...
That is from me for now. I welcome any critics
