ok here we go.

short summary: been playing since 2010 - always with good BR management on the table and horrible off.

2012: win 4k, try to buy bitcoin. scared of tax, not doing it. spend the money on living expenses
2020: start again with 200$, run it up to 4k$ with poker and crypto. lose it all in crypto
2021: start crypto again w 300$, run it up to 12k$, crypto goes down as well as some rigid "investments" and am back at 4k$ somewhat.
2022: start poker again with a tiny bankroll on the sites, nitting it up and trying not to deposit before I go <50$ on any site

Roll right now
Stars: 132$
ACR: 320$
888: 160$
Party: 89$

trying to keep a 100-BI rule starting above 100$ so 1$ games are always playable. If I bust or go below 50$ I will deposit another 50$ until I am broke again or am able to cashout - guess somewhere at 500$+ at every site I will cash out and move it into crypto again at 8% APY for my BTC and ETH

main games are mtts and mttsngs. as well as some satellites, 9man SNGs only when I really need to fill tables at ungodly hours.

let's roll

urgh. Time savings fk me hard. The 33$ actually started one hour later than I thought and I was falling asleep even before we got down to 50% of players. Right when we get ITM (240 paid) I make a misclick and 3bet shove K8o into AKo. Out 212 for 78$...

didnt play a single game on party/acr/stars today.

888 roll now 262$ - could be worse

I once bought Mental Game of Poker 2 and the 2017 Jonathan Little book but am somehow resistant to read them again. Are those still worthy or is everything before 2018 kind of dull nowadays?

thanks, just bought the 2021 JL book (Secrets of Professional Poker Tournaments: The Essential Guide) , so I will take a look later. Also got the A-Game course of RIO where I somewhat stopped at week 3. Gotta start that one new

pretty uneventful day. Managed to ship a 2$ 66man and 45man and got onto the FT of two 1$ PKOs w 600 and 700 players only to sit at the FT as 2/7 and 3/8, 3betting AJs vs chipleaders KJo and KQs vs other CLs 78s. Obv lost both xD
chopped a 1.65$ 200man for 55$ on ACR

managed to get some more tickets on party. Got ITM in a 5$ PKO, shortstack pushes KQo UTG, I sit in BB happily w TT. SB overshoves w A8o. Board comes something with AxK. Meh.

tickets on party: 100$
Party: 79$
888: 254$
Stars: 184$
ACR: 368$

Total
985$


1000$ soon, yay.

typical nonsense, I'm 2/2 in a 1100man 1$ and getting hungry and tired at 1am. try to deal but ofc the dude is rather interest in icm and not equal payout.
we play, I get a 3:1 lead when he turns a flush and I kind of misplay because I can't concentrate anymore. Give him my complete advantage, misplay all the other hands and get kicked for 78$ while first gets 154$. God those topheavy stars payouts. Right when I had the 3:1 lead I was thinking about another ICM deal too end this now and finally get some food and hop into bed. But nah.

that whole ordeal also let me go dump my stack in the 2$ 2k$ PKO on 888 with AK vs KK even tho I knew back in my mind that I wanted to fold. But the hand on the mouse has another preferences than the brain. was 3/40/1000 and got myself kicked at 30 somewhat...

also won a 1.65$ on ACR for 100 bucks

Party: 61$ Tickets: 80$
888: 208$ - Tickets 27.5$
Stars: 264$ Tickets 12.10$
ACR: 438$

Total: 1090$

good luck, doesnt the pace of play of tournaments drive you bit mad (worse thing about them for me, anytime i enter one i get hyped then 20minutes later im twiddling my thumbs kinda wanting to just be done with it punt my stack off lol, that and fullring aspect makes it even slower and people still seem to timeout).

whats 8%APY btw?

haha yeah, micro on non-turbo can be boring as hell, but sometimes you get into the zone and it just works out and at every break you're like "wtf, another hour gone already?"

when we get to the juicier games, regspeed eases a bit of the momentum to push absolute garbage all the time just to not blind out

It looks like your game of choice would be zoom 6max or something

APR is interest and apy is just the interest compounded in a year...

I got some money parked at apx.finance for example, a coin trying to be pegged to FTM (Fantom)






good ole' passive income. I got a shitload of those farms (altho with smaller amounts in it) and being able to get some $ every day ****ing rules. If BTC goes upwards 60k again I might sell a big bunch to manifest my $-position and then start investing again

no FT, but 80% ITM due to Knockouts or getting deep in the last 10 games on party looks nice tho

2nd in 2$ MTTSNG, 3rd in small 2$ PKO, 9th in 16$ PKO...

Good 4 month break, trying to get back in action, only for my internet to stop working. Also lost some tickets while being on holiday. Trying to win anything above 1$ now. let's see where it goes.

BR right now is about 800$, did some cash outs but also have 800$ parked for depositing on any site where I run close to brokeness.

me I love satellites so much, that I always hop into those 1c freezeouts on party and a after a big bunch of games I managed to hit a 1c to 33c to 3.3$ to 10$ to 100$ and am now sitting 11/22 w 10 seats paid to a 530$ PKO. super pumped <3

oooh, won the seat. seen so many punts and in the end even the shortstack survived because 2 guys in the money needed to battle it out w 55vAQ lol.

phew. Luck all the way to the last game, huh.
First hand i instantly took Matt Staples half stack with a J high straight vs his 10 hi. Then I end up w KK and push into AA. Next hand is only set mining which doesnt work, gets me a few chips w 33 vs A2 on a medium scary board. Last hand I 3bet push AQo into 22 and that's it.

Not that annoyed right now, because playing 2 x 100$ and a 500$ within the first 4 days of me getting back into a game is a nice move overall. Just keep pushing and we get there eventually.

I'm not posting my numbers right now as they are officially lower due to me cashing out a bit and losing games left and right. Will update them after the next bink. Hope it comes soon <3

slooowly getting back.

also 2x 2$ 180man shipped for ~30$ each and 3rd place in Bigger 2$ w 1800 runners for 270$

stars account finally over 500$ again. Now for the other sites to get that number. Got like 80-200$ on all the other sites I play.

Total bankroll is about 2000$ but it is so split up, that I like to keep it low and easily grind more micros.

lets roll

Grind indeed. In and out all the time. Got super deep in those daily 5k$ games only to bust final 2nd tables.
am satting regulary into 50-100$+ games but rarely cash, stupid scared money or boredom, either one of the two.

partys new schedule does a good job, so I gathered some more tickets, even tho my Party BR is only 150$


Coin Poker and SWC I had some weird runs where everything runs fine and then as soon as we are approaching final table some crap happens and I float for 5th place or bubble. really weird dynamic, as if my brain has problems with using lesser known software. no **** idea.
