Hello,

I'm a 22-year MBA-student from Finland. I'm starting this pgc to keep myself motivated and help me track my results in poker and life. I have had a quite a long break from poker apart from some recreational 0.50$ STT SnGs, which I've played around 400 in last year with roi of 19%. However SNGs always require certain amount of time and thats why I'm trying to make the transition to cash tables and start climbing up the 6max cash stakes. I have deposited 50€ to stars so thats somewhere around 53$ or 54$.

I will be playing 6-9 regular tables at a time. I had a bad habit in SNGs to play overaggro in the start of session so I will try hard to get away from that. I also have around 3k VPPs to use on stars so when (if) the move to NL5 is close I will use those to boost my bankroll. I will be posting some graphs and hands here which I feel need reviewing or I dont know if I played them right or not.

That is not a long background story but I want to get playing so onwards to tables!

Good luck man.
Keep up posted with the progress

Thanks!

Played two sessions yesterday, first was only a bit over 300 hands but second one was close to 2k hands.


Some hands I would like to share

H1.

Villain was fish, he had gone all-in preflop in all 11 hands he had stayed in the table so I thought I'm ahead of most of his range here.



H2.

Hadn't played many hands with villain when this happened but he had 4-bet AKo a few hands earlier, I could maybe just call his 4bet but this is pretty meh imo



H3.

Didn't bet flop because I thought I would not get 3 streets of value, maybe I should bet it 3 way? On the river I thought long for value betting but just got a feeling I shouldnt do that, which seemed to be right



H4.

Villain here seemed to be really fishy, my turn raise was meant to look fishy so he could jam all Kx hands which he did



H5.

This was in the end of the session and I felt I was getting a bit tired. Villain seemed to be pretty solid, no meaningful stats yet. I thought myself that I would fold turn if any of the possible draws make it. After the session I thought about this hand and tbh I didnt seem to get raised a single time with FD or some combodraw on flop or turn, so raises on flops and turns seem to be sets really often in NL2.



Also decided I would do some sportsbetting with really low stakes, decided I would go for 50bbs of the stakes I play meaning now I bet 1€ (sports betting on my client is in €). I went for Napoli - Juventus BTTS with odds of 1.85 which landed easily. Could keep some track of bets here aswell.

Sports betting profit: +0.85€

Played a small session


Some hands from the session

H1.

Villain here is 27/27/20 in 50 hands. Initially I thought I just have to get this in and hope he doesnt have better J since he has been 3betting so many hands and cbet otf from him seems pretty std but after session when I put more thoughts on this I could have just called the flop and fold turn to any card the completes draws. Am I any right with my thinking here?



H2.

vs fish 43/2/0 in 132 hands, I thought he could do this kind of stuff with any Ax and FDs, should I be able to find a fold here or is this std vs fish?



H3.

I dont know whats going on here

Had another session of around 1,5k hands and towards end of it I felt like I just couldnt win a single hand, ended up losing 2 buy-ins. In total after 5k hands up around 3 buy-ins.

Some hands



vs 35/8/0 guy over 70 hands, tried to get some value with my fishy play



A guy with 32/32/50 AF:6 in 30 hands



And the same guy than in previous in the very next hand in the table

After that left the tables asap, felt I was gonna tilt hard.

Best of luck!

Thank you!

Had a nice day pokerwise today. At the first post I said I was gonna play regular tables. Well went to play a bit of zoom today and had a nice day there with great volume


Some hands

H1.

First (imo) great call based on my notes, had a note on him jamming midpair with weak kicker on turn



H2.
Right after the overbet I thought why didnt I bet smaller for value, guess it was fine



H3.

Biggest pot won so far



H4.

I thought on the turn when he raised he could do that with all sets, didnt think he would raise draws but just call them. After session I thought that I should probably fold to the raise, idk. But as played I cant never fold otr I believe.



H5.

Biggest loss so far, at the table I thought this could be a huge spew



Now I'm gonna watch some premier league, think I'll also be placing some sort of bet to Betis - Villareal match as Villareal is having nice odds imo.

I played a zoom session few days ago and was really tired, run good at the start and then just started making stupid bluffs etc and ended up losing 2 buy-ins. I just finished session in normal tables, around 1,5k hands and won 3 buy-ins. I feel my red line is going down more in normal tables than in zoom. Also did place a bet to the Betis - Villareal game, DNB Villareal at 1.85 and won it so betting is now up 1.70€. At the moment in poker I got ~15,2k hands and im up roughly 18$. BB/100 is 6,01 and evBB/100 is 6,48. I feel those could be much higher without the zoom session where I basically spew 3 or 4 stacks by stupid bluffs when playing really tired.
Couldnt even remember the losing hands after the session. Now I made a strict rule to myself not to play when feeling too tired.

Just finished today with a zoom session which was, well...


Some hands from the session

H1.

Kinda weird from villain but I thought Im in pretty good place and V had fishy stats



H2.

This is the variance I suppose



H3.

More variance



H4.

73 hands with Villain, 13/6/0 and AF:0,1. Was in a bit of a tilt mode after one of those coolers, thought otr that yeah w/e



H5.

Villain was 24/21/15,4 in 31 hands with 100% flop aggression so I thought he is donking pretty much everything. My preflop was a bit questionable but I had position so thoughts its fine from time to time



Something positive, placed a bet on Liverpool to beat Stoke at the odds of 2.30 and they did so bets are 3/3 now and exactly 3€ of profit from them.

Played my longest session so far this morning in zoom tables. I kept one break around 2,5k hands since I was playing tilted and just punting my stacks off. Took a shower and tried to gather myself, still obviously not satisfied with the session.


Some hands

H1.

Villains stats in 204 were 30/24/12 and squeeze 32% so I thought I have a good place to go for a 4bet here



H2.

Spew in tilt vs fish



H3.

Was feeling every hand went like this in the session



H4.

Hero call gone wrong, thought long about this one and thought he could try to bluff me off with many busted draws there otr



NL2 so far



If I would be at EV I might already take shots at NL5, got 3k VPPs atm.. Im just trying to stay positive and hope I'll start running a bit better
