Hi,

My nam.e is Bob and I play 6max cash games on party poker.
Currently Im at 5nl after playing 100k hands of 2nl on stars for 4bb/100 hands.

Right now Im reviewing my hands and will write down some things I find and want to improve:


- tighten up when cold calling
is cold calling when theres a 3bet and I call without beeing the initial raiser?



My 3bet winrate looks good
My cbet winrate looks even better even though Im not really sure when to cbet .

will post some hands now

hey guys, 20k hands of 5nl and a little 10nl are in the books and Im again running at 4bb/100 so far even though most profit comes from an upswing in the last 3k hands.

Will post graph afteer 100k hands.

its actually funny how poeple at 10nl were snap calling me from every position when I first joined lol, the regs were hoping for a new fish then I took 3 buy ins from one of em hehe

time to post some hands now

Hey there, Im now at 28k hands of 5nl and losing at 4bb, sigh.
I really got to learn to fold. Poeple are extremely nitty and passive, so when they bet it's a value bet 90% of the time.

I prolly will stay at 5nl till the end of the year, even if my roll will suit 10nl, just to become a solid winner there first.


My opening ranges look good, my 3b ranges look good, I learned when to cbet and when not to, I started to c/r some flops when they suit my range better than raiser's and I steel quite alot. The -4bb comes all from dumb calldowns, so that should be easy to solve.

please wish me luck as I wish it to you.

Hi Im back after a break and want to continue my blog.

Here is a graph from the last 4 days:




I had 10 bucks left in my stars account and thought it cant be true, I cant even beat 2 and 5nl after many years of trying. I feels so bad man. The one dream you have in life besides love just doesnt want to fulfill itself and you lose all hope and confidence etc.

But now after 10 was left I thought to myself that I KNOW that Im good enough for at least the lowest levels atm and started by two tabling 2nl regular tables, then moved up to 5nl and eventualy some 10nl.

Now my roll is at 170$ and I already start to play worse again I have no ****** clue why I cant keep playing seriously and not gamble. I know I would love it at the higher limits where I think it'll be ok to call 3bets with suited As or connectors cause poeple actually 3bet more but right now I MUST be strict and fold those, keep going for value bets and fold to poeples bets.

so I dropped 2.5 BIs at 10nl and got back to 5nl, added IPoker to my 888 and stars grind to get some actual rakeback, 54% that is.

hey everyone, after some nice days with a bit of an upwsing, I returned to playing bad.
my b and c games are just aweful, so I decided to withdraw all my roll except for 40 bucks and start again at 2nl.
this time tho, I'll tag hands to review, post em here etc. also Ill update every day after I'm done playing.

and some goals for now and the new year:

- stop smoking for good
- start working out again
- read every day no matter how much (start of with mental game of poker)
- drink 3 litre of water every day
- no more music/movies while playing
- review hands
- watch rio vids on a daily basis (right now I feel they are a waste of time)

done for now

profit: +$6.51

changed my game a little, will see if itll help. nothing too trastic but still looking good so far.
Was down 5BIs at one point and made a strong comeback. Variance is a whore for real, need to imbrace the grind tho and keep going.

I'll make sure to get out of 2 and 5nl as fast as possible to finally make some real profit.
