Hello folks, Orojanjivu here
This will be an attempt to blog on a semi-regular basis.

What to expect?
Really dont know - the usuall stuff. Some RL, some HHs,
some strat talk, and some smack talk

Bit of history:
Started out poker as the biggest aggrotard to ever play this game
some 8 years ago. Was killing live (until downswing) but never cold
beat 10NL online. It was hard finding focus to play $20 when just the
previous night you played 2k+ pots.

I thought I was very good very early. Entered the game with the mindset:
lets read a few books and start printing. Money, cars, bithcez, parties..

Never worked on my game for too fukcing long because I could not face
my own mistakes. Ego worst enemy - guess many will relate.
If I had not had a great coach who believed in my potential id given up
on it long time ago. 3-4 years I was winning live and giving some back to the
online community. Tried all the skins, all the games (nearly)...
thought that playing elsewhere would make me a winner.

Built a sizable roll in live games but downswing kicked in.
Some bad investments (bad money management in general)
and on top of it getting robbed - i found myself
just married with child on its way and 200$ in my stars account.
That was approximately 3 years ago.

One can say I hit rock bottom. Had to make it back, but it was going
to be an insane uphill struggle. Luckily I always had full support from
my wife no matter how bad things were. She never panicked.
Today however she kills my roll harder than any reg out there

Had to find a game that I could beat with an hourly to keep
my head above the water but not go busto.
(I could have borrowed money here and there but I wanted to get out
on my own).
Game of choice was HU sngs, which were running frequently before the
spins introduction. I was working 14h days, making 5$/h roughly...
moved to 25NL, started beating it but then went on a 2 month streaming
adventure. Bad idea. Broke even after 180k ish hands.

Quit streaming, took a CPF deal at 50z (played FR) over 500k hands,
Beat the game at a rate that would grand me a decent living (at least in
Bosnia, we were however working on my wifes papers for the Netherlands)
Became father (best thing ever!), and finally finally started working on my game.

Meanwhile for alsmost a year the entire family is in the Netherlands, my wife
found a job quite quickly and ive been "beasting" 100z for 16ish months now.
Things are looking much brighter.

Almost no day goes by without thinking on that time when I had to start
from scratch, and that somewhat made me a bankroll nit.
Tried to move up to 200z 2 times but failed. I was BE-ish at zoom
but lost some 3k on snap. Then its rebuild.. roll+confidenc u know the drill.

Had a short flirt with MTTs towards the end of 2016 and I ran rather well on
multiple sites but disliked the first 20 days without a big score so much
that I came back to cash and intend to keep it this way.

Few things about my game:
Very aggro, explo based but working very much on theory lately.
Wanna go to a sound foundation I never had.
I may be one of the few winners out there who never had a winning blueline.

Intended to 3-4 sentences but you know how it goes..

What I plan on doing upcoming days:
Same usual. Study, grind, repeat..
I will play 3-4 tables 200z when I feel on top of my game,
or 4x100 +2x50 when thats not the case.
For everything else we'll see what develops from here.


Thats it for intro post. Thanks for reading and GLGL!

gl plower

very funky to play vs u. wish u to move 200z soon

Very cool to see other Balkanian players crushing the games. Sretno!

Think we need a power ranking list for the rungood

Gracias, U are always among the first


Tyvm!



Thaknk you too and welcome




Watch out amigo, 200z is not what it used to be any more :P
Looking forward to some clashes



Ty, Id prolly say the same if I knew who u are . PM SN maybe?



Hvala, where do u play?



Not sure what U mean. I cant complain about rungood ever since starting this thread.
Almost 100z and 50z exclusively. Ran so well didnt bother changing setup.
Still not done for today.





Letsgoo.

It's a list of top 5 best and worst regs. Has to be done to get the run good for the rest of the thread. Just how it works

Hard to judge who are the best. I can name a few that I find tougher to play against but that doesnt have to mean they are better/worse than others.

There are certainly some very bad regs too. I will make fun of some regs but ill
never mentioned any names. Plenty drama on other blogs.

Generally Ive spent too much time thinking of every reg as my personal enemy.
That was wrong I think. Although its motivational, it fills u with too much negativity.
So from the very start I disliked everybody, but the crazy thing is: Whenever I get to
know the person behind the SN I had the idea we could be good friends.
After all nobody can understand/appreaciate what we do better than our colleagues.

Wont go as far to call every reg a colleague (damn hard to spell this word )
but I want to change the perspective I used to have.

In the end I think there is a decent chance best regs are the ones that
play with us for years but never really got our attention.
If I havent classified someone after few K hands, its prolly coz they played
very well.

Additional problem: sometimes we get to see the worst of someone and jump
to conclusions right away.
Not once have I changed my opinion on someone.
Nit turning out to be LAGS, Fish turning out to be regs etc..
Its always a judgement call in the end..

Alright man. GL with the grind

Love that! Have you shown her this?

Best of luck to you!

Glgl see you @le tables
