Hello everyone!

I want to start this blog to keep track of my sessions and get some feedback of the best community out there.
Every time I am up money i kept playing high variance games and with this blog I want to me to stay focused.

I will play on GG Poker (radl619) starting with a 500$ Bankroll and playing 2-5$ on my own bankroll (probably sell some if there are some takers) and 10$ tourneys which I will play when 50% are sold, for now.

This blog won't be that regular, because of life , but I will let you the forum know when I play beforehand.
Also I am planning to get rid of my biggest leaks by a database review, when I have enough hands.

Hope I will get some follows and good feedback.
Thank and bye your "OneBeer".

Hello everyone!

I hope you all had a great weekend so far!

More from me
I am currently 30 years old and have a wife and a little daughter. I work at an IT job, where I make decent money and it is just a chill work, because everyone can count on me. I have been hooked with Poker since I was 10 years old and already started playing "Play Chips" games online on Full Tilt. Unfortunately I did not stick to Poker right than and there.
I started playing Poker as a hobby around 10 years ago. The most recent years I played a lot of "Kick-Off" games were I made a little profit (1kish). A month ago I decided to deposit 50$ again on Pokerstars and ran that up to 500$ with Kick-Off and a min cash in the recent Sunday Million.

I decided to put that money into GG Poker and only play MTTs for the next time and see where the journey will take me. I will only play when I feel well and there was no stress on that day, otherwise I always feel like I am making bad decisions.

Starting bankroll: $ 479,18

Thanks your "OneBeer"

I am selling action for tournaments which are not in my Bankroll. I keep my life bankroll and Poker bankroll apart.
I really want to stick to a good BRM, I already was up to $2000 and than played All in or Fold, and quick high variance stuff and almost busted it.
That's why I started this blog and write everything down in an Excel as well, to keep my discipline.

Do you play any other sites? I ask this because based on your sharkscope, you are lets say a high risk stake.

If you played else where and have at least few thousand games that show you are a long term winner, you might be able to get staked.

The last 3 years I played Pokerstars, but only "Grand Tour/Kickoff" and Sit and Goes, since the RB challenge got cancelled for our country I switched to GG and am playing a few MTTs since January.
I hope I will get some results and more volume in April. I also will consult "mttdatabasereview.com" after I got enough hands, to tremendously up my game.
I played a lot of cash before I started the STT Sit and Gos and therefore have a good understanding for preflop ranges and postflop. I just struggle with the limping and flatting ranges in MTTs for now, that will be on the agenda right now.

I will try to keep everything as transparent as possible for followers and my discipline

Good day/evening!
Today I played a small session did not made the money in any though...



Bounty Hunters Deepstack Turbo
I won $12.50 in bounties but only 40% belong to me.

Sold 60% so I played that. Maybe you have some feedback on this hand.
296 Places paid, 566left:

What would you do with 66. I covered everyone and it was 22BB effective. Was it just unlucky that the SB woke up with AA?

Somehow I can't download the hand history directly...


Bounty King Baby I won a bounty for $0.75

Total loss: -$51,25

Bankroll at $400.76

Yesterday I played two tournaments on my Phone:


Bounty Hunters Mini Main
After late reg I jammed 16BB AKo UTG+1and got called by ATs and 88.
ATs won and I was out

Fifty Stack
I played two bullets.

First bullet I lost a hand with T9s two pair, where he riverd a straight.
Blind going up and with 20BB I 3b jammed 77 in the SB over UTG+1 open.
77<JJ

Second bullet 269 paid 293 left.
HJ limped -> CO raised to 3BB -> me on the button jammed 66 with 15.4BB left.
CO called with JJ. We did not get the set and bubbled.

Before the tournament I played about 20min of NL10.
Third hand in this happened. The river could have been a check back, or a bet/fold.
Played like 50hand. Lost $10.73


Total LOSS again $27,13
Bankroll at $373.10

Good evening/day

Another 2 tournaments played on my phone in bed. And 542 Rush&Cash hands on NL10


Bounty King Baby
I finally made the money in this thread <3
After the first money jump. HJ jammed 9BB with a $7 bounty. I isolated with 17BB in CO covering B/SB/BB with A3 and lost against 77
Very next hand I had 9BB myself in the HJ with AJ.
UTG+1 opens and I 3b jammed. Lost against 77 again.

Fifty Stack
2 bullets.
  • 1st bullet I lost a flip with AKo and than my stack.
    MP opens I 3b and than I called the 4b All-In for 33BB
  • 2nd bullet I called down with second pair where the high card was paired

Cash
I had a Profit of $36,81according to GG. I know there is some rake which is not substracted, but if I keep playing Cash I have to get my GGRake.xlsx out again.

Bankroll: $400.47
Profit without rake: $34.80
Profit with rake: $27.37

Is $7.43 rake possible for just 540ish hand?!?!

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know what the best way to import MTT GGHands into PT4 is. I get a lot of errors and it seems that a lot of hands are missing as well.

1st hand: Bounty Hunter $2.16
What do you do in this spot. The flat in the SB seems strong, but are you ever folding for two min bounties?

Shoving AT over two allins and a sb flat is awful. SB is telling you he wants you in the pot. You think he's doing that with worse than ATo?

Also this:

"Second bullet 269 paid 293 left.
HJ limped -> CO raised to 3BB -> me on the button jammed 66 with 15.4BB left.
CO called with JJ. We did not get the set and bubbled"

is ICM suicide that close to the bubble.

Thanks for the feedback, gotta tighten up and take ICM more in consideration. Also I figured out that the aggressive style I played in Cash mostly does not pay off in Micro/Low stakes MTTs. You have to be patient and get as much value as possible in spots you have a top hand.
Just watching the RYE free Masterclass videos as well, which is very contrary to the Cash Course.

For example:
Cash: bet big on wet boards also as bluffs.
MTT: bet small with bluff cbets and big with good hands. This is considering that you cannot be exploited that easy in these stakes, because you will never play enough hands against the same opponents.

Yeah, in micro tourneys play super tight at the start, there will be many ppl wanting to gamble up a big stack early and you will get lots of opportunities to GII really good. Later on when stacks are short switch to being super aggro first in but avoid calling off light without reads if you are outchipped. So easy to chip up just by stealing blinds late it's not usually worth taking 50:50 spots.

Hello everyone.
Today I finished two more lessons for the basics in MTTs. Basically I need to tighten my BRM as well to become a winning player.
So my Bankroll at $340.15 and one ticket left for the Mystery Bounty $25. I will play only between $0-$3 MTTs for now, occasionaly playing Fifty Stack $5.50, where I had two cashes the last two days.

Your "One Beer".

So for short now....

Played 12 tourneys Buy-Ins for $24.62, ran deep in two here are the hands.

Not getting to Day2 Mystery Bounty with this hand. 30 people before Day2.

Spoiler:


Getting a sick setup in the $2.16 Bounty with the big bounty on my left. Guy who limped wanted to be in every hand since my lefty went short. 45th of 9,531
Spoiler:


Total profit: $37.32
Bankroll: $377.47
