Hey guys, I'm a 20 y/o kid from Sweden who always had a dream of beeing extremely good at poker. As of right now im studying full time so I might or might not have time over for poker, but I'll try my best to keep this PG&C updated and the volume flowing.
My poker journey started for real 2015 when I actually tried to get better at the game. My first deposit(when I was getting better) was about $25 which I grinded up to about $130 then withdrew it all. Later i deposited $40 and grinded it up to $350, and had a terible downswing and withdrew my BR
. After that I've kind of gotten bored of cash games. After that downswing I havent really played much poker but I've been lurking in the PG&C threads and have gotten more and more motivated to play.
I've read alot about pokerstars VIP changes and it is basically ridiculous, so I have decided to boycott them. Even tho it would never affect me but I can only imagine how all those people who have grinded thier harts out getting punished. Nuff bout' that
.
So here I am deciding to choose what site and format I'm going to play. And after some research I chose the site Winamax and the fromat DoN(Double or nothing). From what I have seen these games are running quiet often, are grindable and ofc they are fun. Now people think that I am crazy, "How could you think that DoNs are fun!?". Well first of all the format is way different from everything else and you really have to think through you decisions(as every type of poker
). They are extremely grindable, they run day and night, they are very soft(people there have no idea what icm is and makes terrible mistakes on the bubble) = $$$.
Info about the games;
I will start with a €40 BR.
And ofc I will start from the bottom; €0.5 games.
There are some different types of DoNs;
there are 6man and 10man, turbo and semi-turbo.
The 10mans are more reg-infested and not as "fun" IMO.
So I've chosen the 6man turbo games.
Top 3 get payed (obviously
). 3 minute blind levels, antes comes around level 8.
Thats about it, GL to all and have a great year!
