SkilfulPoker Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I've decided to start a little challenge, my vegas challenge is on a stand-still right now, as the last ticket lost so I may re-load at some point in the future and have another go. For now I decided to stick to a format I am relatively already OK at which is cash. For betting/poker I have £150 spare this month. My choices were: -Go to casino with £150Sports bet £150Play poker with £150Casino is fun but with £150 is just pure entertainment, smallest buy-ins live maybe i'll have 1 - 1.5 by time i travelled there and back, so can hardly expect to profit, and I want to try to profit here so decided against that. Sports betting is fun, but I really have no clue about sports betting, I just have fun watching some in play games, and deluding myself into thinking i'm a genius when I pick a winner now and again!Poker I at least have an idea what I am doing, especially at Micro cash. My biggest hurdles, are mental game playing online poker, so that'll be a key part of the challenge. I took the cunning step of downloading and saving some of @Hymn2Ninkasi 's 400nl grind videos from his original challenge back when he started his first challenge, and still have a few hours on my drive so I'm going to watch them and try to improve from them a little as I play. I need to set some meaninful goals, so my first goal is to make €250 profit at 25nl. Starting Bankroll: 192.00 I'm going to try to share any technical things / mental things, I learn / discover also during the challenge :) Will also post the odd video with some interesting hands, now and again :Thumbsup:@MarcoV urgh, i posted this in wrong section sorry - can you move to blogs, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamesDean Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Really nice hand – overbets are underrated and rarely seen on NL25/NL50. Are you playing value poker only on these stakes or would you bluff overbetting with hands like AJ of hearts as well in order to have a balanced range? In my mind, if I decided to overbet the turn with a hand like said AJhh, I tend to check on really blanky rivers like this one because people don’t like folding on these rivers. That’s super unbalanced but I think it would be actually bad to follow through on that with bluffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkilfulPoker Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Thanks @Magicadil haha yes I was a bit tempted earlier, just take a 200 euro bet, cash out 200 happy days, was the thought that crossed my mind. But i'm being good. This month is all about the poker. =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkilfulPoker Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Challenge Update: 50k hands was a bit ambitious playing part time i think, and it feels like it'll take forever, so have switched the 50nl goal to:10 stacks profit at 50nlHere's an update and a set over set hand!

GamesDean Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 @Stubbe-Unibet wrote: Really like the video content :)Me too. :)I would have played the 22 hand the same exact way – you are only beat if your opponent happens to have 99 or 44 (44 are not even part of everyone’s 3-betting range which makes our hand even more nutted). You are beating JJ-AA and your opponent can easily follow through bluffing with a turned flushdraw or even just AK of hearts or clubs to balance out his 24 overpair combos. So you are ahead a vast majority of the time and just got incredibly unlucky.In general if you beat at least some value combos and you get decent pot odds you just cannot fold.I think I saw you at one of my tables yesterday btw. Didn’t know it was you tho @SkilfulPoker in disguise. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkilfulPoker Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hey all, things going very well, it's 8pm here and I'm too tired to play now, but fancy some entertainment, so have decided to place a sports bet, not sure what yet likely tennis. Progress has gone very well with poker so far, so I think I can afford the luxury of a sports bet :happy: Bankroll currently: £725 / €825 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkilfulPoker Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Was a great night tonight, here's where things are at :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkilfulPoker Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 So before I withdrew my money yesterday just after I made the video, I decided to see if the Unibet Roullete woman wanted to pay for drinks when I next go out. The plan: just play a couple of spins, and see if I will win some money for a few drinks when next out :happy:The roullete dealer (what do you call people that spin roullete wheels?!) was kind enough to oblige!Spent: 50 + 10 + 25 + 100 + 75 = £260 Won: 150 + 200 + 100 = £450 minus £12 I deposited to play some poker today 🆒Free drinks tab = £178 :rockon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkilfulPoker Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Weekend was very cool, lost at live poker but was drinking so to be expected!It was a great weekend though and am actually extending it right now, i decide to make it a 3 day weekend :Dthis is a decent feel good song: listening to it at the moment. Challenge wise, I have decided i will start again soon, with a £20 deposit and try to make a thread to teach people how to grind a package or generally profit at poker. Loving the hot weather here in the UK, we are having nights like mediteranian at the moment! 10.22am and very warm here, it's nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
