Hi. Im new on site and this is my first post and project.

I want to try to become good poker player, no limit holdem player, and i will play at partypoker. I will start with speed poker on nl5 limit trying to see my level.

My maine goal is to keep myself motivated to work and play enough hours, but would also like to meet people who are level above me or 2, or how many levels above if they have time, or same as me to talk hands , and maybe even learn together. I will start today with first update.

For now i have trouble making my HUD working on party, so im dealing with that. If someone has some info or idea ty.

As we go i hope they will be interesting stuff, like my travels, what i do to relax before and after sessions, maybe even some hot pics.

As for tools i use to work on my game, main is flopzilla, which i probably missuse like everything, but i do try to **** up things as good as i can. Hem and Hud, but to be real with you all , hud is for me random numbers on screen that obscure my view when i do manage to make it work.

Good thing or maybe bad is i dont like live poker, i dont like people around casinos, and i really dont see myself ever playing poker if its not online. Thats like something i like, so i thought really hard do i want to try it when everyone says its all GTO bots and machines in pools, and there is no point when there is no future in online because i dont want to play with a pretty chick next to me, bottle of scotch on other side and cigars in mouth, its not something i dream about when i dream , i dream about nicer places and nicer peoples. So im not someone who will like play 2 years online and than crush live, never say never, but my feelings now would be i wolud find something else in my life.

So here it is.

Day 1

Still no luck with HUD for fastfward on Party, so i play blind.

I did not play that much today on PartyPoker 858 hands with a loss of 2$, but i did play on one Eu site which does not support hand histories, huds anything, so i can explaine spots and put pictures. First is first some spots from Partypoker speed.

Hand 1

Im not to sure about how to approach this river spot, it was some kind of small vbet/block bet targeting some 3x, or A highs, stopping him from maybe putting bigger bet on river. But im not to sure about it, sizing wise and is it a bet or check. I think flop and turn ar ok.

Hand 2

Here i just dont see hands im infront he plays like this, maybe a little to tight, dont know. So i would like to know how you approach this spot. Its interesting

I dont have any spots from party that are interesting today, to small sample, but tomorrow i feel like playing decent amount.

Now on my parallel grind on a untracked site. Here things get out of hand. Bi is like 40$. So my biggest pot was 50$ or little higher lets see. Here i play little higher because players are far worse, but i do play over my roll on site. And have to be carefull. So i will play only when games look really good with a huge donk with money.

Im Utg and my stack is 76bbs i open with Ah8h, and get 2 callers from mp donk that played every hand and has stack 59bbs, and btn on short stack 19bbs. Flop comes 6s7dAc, i decid to cbet in pot of 10bbs i bet 5bbs(think i need a little bigger size) and mp fish flets, now btn shoves and im in spot where if i call im commited vs mp, so i decided to shove. This is pics of how hand finshed so im nut just rambling random things that did not happen (lol).

picture 1

I have one more interesting hand. Same table, we are now 4 handed and donk left to me(same guy from A8 hand) has about 98bbs. I have like 90bbs(its tuff to reload on site thats why i sometimes have like under 100bbs stack) and get AhAd i open to 3bbs, and he of course flets 3bbs and sb flets also has a stack of 24bbs . Flop comes Jh10c7c not that great, now plan was to check, if donk bets, and sb folds im raising and getting in vs mp donk. So i check and he of course bets 5bbs, sb calls, he is short, if he had a 2pair or better he i shoving, i think mp donk will bet and stack with far worse and i decid to raise 16bbs, donk of course calls and sb calls. Turn is 7d. Think its good card and i decided to bet for value vs draws/Jx hands etc and sb does not matter he is on 5bbs. Sb check, i bet in pot of 91bbs, 23bbs to small, i could jam maybe turn. Dont know. Mp calls and sb folds. And on river if its not a club im jamming. Its interesting what to do if its a club. Good thing river is 2d and i jam my stack, mp folds.

Picture 2

Im going to bed, will listen podcast from Joe Ingram with Makeboifin little and sleep . Tomorrow is a day of bigger grind and hope better results. Gl people. And comment how would you play or what you dont like. Ty for reading.

Day 2

I played only 339 minutes today on party, played 2546 hands and finished a session only 9.33$ and got only that 11 points for rb. So im not happy, tomorrow needs to be a much better day.

On a different site there where no good games, but i did manage to lose like 10$ something in that area in few hands i played.

I will just chill now and watch little of that Triton Cash Game and go to sleep. Tomorrow i plan to learn and review a session in the morning and than play whole day preparing for weekend. I still did not manage to get HUD working, so i play blind but i will try to find solution.

I will not post hands today, but tomorrow i will in strategy forum micro stakes and here.

Just to add i feel like learning, playing and watching poker all the time. I watch random battles online to try and see something.

Btw this preparing for weekend is not drinking or party, but massive grind. So i want to learn decent amount until friday. Still would like to play 6h minimum.

I had some personal issues and did not play for 5 days. But i have decided that this blog will not be about a guy trying to go from terrible to half decent. But i guy who will be last HS player (hehehe) last to come, even if i have to sit on 25/50 alone. I will not do anything else in mylife for as long as it takes i will come there. I decided to not live, only play. Its easy decision, because life is game. Those two cards delt. Heheh. We shall start with 8h plus sessions, and learning sessions of 4h, 12h plus in poker every day. We will piss blood and do what it takes.

I have great self control, i can grind many hours and i dont tilt, but i still dont know what im doing, so i have to learn a lot, those are good things and pluses i have to be good at this game. Now its time to show i can do it. I can play the hours and learn everyday.

Maybe it never happens, but i will do everything possible to see if its attainable.

Yeah, we worked zero. Got like the worst cold ever. But yesterday i said lets play a tour, and cashed 1,2k for 5place, so its a good bankroll buster, we have enough for PIO and real work begins.Updates will be regular, and play time and learning will be massive. So just say im still alive.

I plan to live in pio and on tables hehee, just a question, is there any difference, or massive difference between pro and edge versions.

And ego is in checked, im a massive donk, like FT i was biggest fish, uh yea ICM , shoving ranges, i was randomly clicking buttons, its a miracle i did not bust before, so that was not so good.
