yarik_gr Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hi all! :happy:I saw a couple of poker blogs here and decided to start my own one. My name is Yaroslav and I'm playing low-stakes poker for a living. I used to play freerols 2 years ago and for now my average buy-in is 5 euro. "Slow but sure" is my motto. :laugh:My goals are $670 average monthly profit and I want to build up my bankroll up to $10.000 until 31th of December 2019.For now my average monthly profit is about $400-500 per month and I will start my journey in Novemver with $3.000 bankroll and also I will withdraw $600 once every three months. To increase my profit I'll start playing 10 euro tournaments and also I think that this little blog will help me to gather my thoughts to approach more seriously to the game. I will try to post my results once a week.I will play 2-10 euro tournaments / sattelittes and sometimes 4 euro SNG's. Hope that everything will be fine and I will start playing 5-25 euro tournaments after a few months.Also, I live in Belarus and life is pretty cheap here, so $200 per month are close to average salary in my country. And I'm sorry for my poor English. :happyshy:I'm happy to hear some advices and questions, but this blog is most likely for me. The higher the goal, the better the result.Good luck for you all and I hope we'll meet at the poker tables! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarik_gr Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Day 1: Starting bankroll: $3000 Buy-ins: €55 Profit: +173,40 Current bankroll: $3.173,40It was a great start of my poker adventure, but also I lost a couple of euros because of my poor internet-connection. :Waterfall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Day 2: Starting bankroll: $3.173,40 Buy-ins: €42 Profit: -$20.40Bankroll goal for day 2: $3.044Current bankroll: $3.153,00Such a bad day for me. I lost almost all important all-ins with hands which were ahead preflop, so I decided to stop playing because I was close to tilt. But this day was definitely more unlucky for this guy at screenshot. :Laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Day 3: Starting bankroll: $3.153,00 Buy-ins: €52 Profit: +$31.26Bankroll goal for day 3: $3.066Current bankroll: $3.184,26 + 2x €5 TicketsNot a bad day, but I don't understand why almost every time I go deep there is a crazy chipleader at my table, who pushes almost every hand and call pushes with %90 of hands? Also, I will not count my tickets as buy-in money in my challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Day 6: Starting bankroll: $3.184,96 Buy-ins: €26 Profit: +$55,16Bankroll goal for day 6: $3.132Current bankroll: $3.240,12There was my birthday on Saturday, so I decided not to play. :Smile: On Sunday I played only two monthly freerolls and use my 2 x €5 tickets for a Nebula, but there was a very lucky day for a guy at my table (take a look at his alias). :Laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkingun Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Happy B-day and best wishes from me.Indeed the river is so hard to digest especially when you are in advantage before flop, on flop and on turn.

yarik_gr Posted November 6, 2017 Author Share Posted November 6, 2017 Thank you @fkingunI know about your bad runs, hope you will build a solid bankroll. Don't pay much attention on bad beats and suссess will come soon. :cash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Day 7: Starting bankroll: $3.240,12 Buy-ins: €15 Profit: -$15.37Bankroll goal for day 7: $3.154Current bankroll: $3.224,75 + €5 MTT Ticket / 2€ SNG Ticket / 1€ MTT TicketToday was one of those days when luck turned away from me from the very beginning of my poker session, so I decided not to play anymore today. I'm not the one who will upset over a couple of bad beats, but sometimes it looks like it's impossible to win today. :Smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Day 8: Starting bankroll: $3.224,75 Buy-ins: €12 Profit: +$0,79Bankroll goal for day 8: $3.176Current bankroll: $3.225,54The saga of run bad continues. It was a third hand of the turney, I believe. On the river opp pushes around 200bb into 20bb pot, but how can I find a fold here? I decided to play tomorrow and if I'll end up my session without profit I'll maybe take a break for the couple of days, because I'm close to tilt now and it's hard for me to play. Of course, I can fall behind the plan, but I still think that a little break will be better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Day 9: Starting bankroll: $3.225,54 Buy-ins: €78 Profit: -$39,08Bankroll goal for day 9: $3.198Current bankroll: $3.186,46Today was one of the most awful days in my poker history. I went through all the circles of hell (bubble boy with AA, bad beats, suck outs, lost almost all all-ins I dominated preflop, etc.), but the fact I lagged behind the plan is the most disappointing thing for me now. Of cause, when I set a goal I expected that I will make a little less then $670 profit per month for the first couple of months of my challenge. I'm upset a little, but I'm still optimistic. :Smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Day 10: Starting bankroll: $3.186,46 Buy-ins: €31 Profit: +$52,43Bankroll goal for day 10: $3.220Current bankroll: $3.238,89 + €25 Ticket / 2x €1 TicketsCan you believe that I hit 2outer on the river today? :Laugh: I decided not to play tomorrow, but I will come back on Sunday. Also I'm thinking about betting on sport but I don't know for sure yet. Maybe I'll start with a couple of small bets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarik_gr Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Day 12: Starting bankroll: $3.238,89 Buy-ins: €86 + $24 Profit: +$372,82Bankroll goal for day 12: $3.264Current bankroll: $3.611,71Finally a HUGE win for me! I was close to tilt when I started my session, but Ice Giant saved my day. :Cash: :Cash:Also I tried some @AndreiBN tennis tips, but I choose the wrong time to start betting and lose a couple of dollars. :Waterfall: I will try again later, maybe betting on sport is not my destiny. :Smile: Anyway, I boosted up my bankroll and now I have a little bit of time to relax.

Pucuri88 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Nice score @yarik_gr! How much bounties you collected?Do you see any difference between the 5€-10€ KO and the 25€ KO tourneys fields? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much bounties you collected?Do you see any difference between the 5€-10€ KO and the 25€ KO tourneys fields?Thank you, @Pucuri88 I earned around €40 in bounties.I have never played €10 KO at Unibet, but it was second time I played €25 KO. I will not say that people play much better than in €5 KOs, I started to feel that the field becomes stronger only when it was close to ITM. But still there were some players who just pushed their hands with 30-40BB pre with A10o. When blinds was at 40/80 level, SB raised me to 240, and I called with 88, flop comes 789 and he just pushed his 7500 chips into 500 chips pot with KK. 😃I mean, if you are playing €5 MTTs with a nice profit and you have at least 80-100 buy-ins, most likely you will be good at €25 MTTs, you just need to identify bad players and play most hands with them. But still, I won this €25 ticket in €2 satelite and I'm not ready to pay off the whole buy-in for now, because it's a big money in my country and it's hard for me mentally in spite of I have more than 100 buy-ins.Good luck!

Pucuri88 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thank @yarik_gr! Same here, 25€ is out of my bankroll now and I am not as lucky as you to win a ticket :P :DBut yeah, I am planning to play only the 25€ KO tournament.Alright, GL!

yarik_gr Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Day 14: Starting bankroll: $3.611,71 Buy-ins: €26 + $24 Profit: -$34,21Bankroll goal for day 14: $3.308Current bankroll: $3.577,50 + €25 TicketHaha, I'm still in good vibe given the fact I lose a couple of dollars today. Seems like betting is for sure not for me. :Laugh: I will try again and if I lose some money again, I will start to place $0.10 bets just for fun and I'll see how it goes.
