Hello guys! It is time for my weekly update of my results in 2020.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 7: 76,11 €; bankroll after week 8: 80,86 €

I played 8 SNGs using tickets, won just one and cashed one more. Not great results, but at least I am cashing my bonus points.

Cash games

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 7: 95,71 €; bankroll after week 8: 95,62 €

A total loss of 0,09 €, after seeing 241 flops. A break even, but I managed to clear one major challenge and some minor challenges, so I get to 1500 challenge points (I told you my volume is low :D). As a reward I received 1 € MTT ticket, which I used for UO satellite. It was a mix of good and bad sessions at the cash tables. The good news is that I played on two tables, which is a step up for me. I tried three tabling as well, but I had some problems, when I had playable hands on all three tables.

Satellites

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 7: 17,80 €; budget after week 8: 17,80 €

On the 1€ level I played 4 tournaments (3x with UO tickets and 1x with MTT-ticket). I won 2x4€-tickets. Since I started to keep track of my results on this level, I played a total of 41 tournaments and won 15 tickets, which means 36,5 % ITM. If I assume that I can keep this percentage ITM finishes, I am going to achieve my goal and collect 40x4€-tickets. I will need about 40 more tournaments, because I exchange my 4€-tickets to get the buy-ins. I play 4-5 tournaments a week, so let’s set a deadline for this goal: end of April 2020. It is important for me to realize this and to have patience. One of my main goals for this year is to build a solid cash and ticket bankroll.

On the 2€ level I played 3 tournaments and won 1x10€-ticket, which I will exchange tomorrow.

Here is the most interesting hand of this week. It was an early stage of a 1€ UO Sattelite, about 30 guys, late registration still open, I already doubled up my stack and was 2nd at this time. Stonehenge20 limped, GoodBoy10 called and I raised to 10xBB from the big blind. On the flop I folded to an all in from GoodBoy10, Stonehenge20 did call. What do you guys think about my move? Did I make a mistake? Can you guess what did both guys have? I will add a picture with the showdown in a few days.

Ticket bankroll:

@GR1ZZL3R , I do believe 80% of the players at NL4 are not thinking at all. They just look their cards and will call you with almost any pair on every single board-no matter if double paired, flush, straights or etc possible. In my opinion strong value betting your hands is the best strategy on this level, fold equiaty is nearly zero xD 

Hello guys! It is time for my weekly update of my results in 2020.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 6: 69,77 €; bankroll after week 7: 76,11 €

I played two SNGs using tickets and won both.

Cash games

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 6: 87,41 €; bankroll after week 7: 95,71 €

A total profit of 8,30 €, after seeing 92 flops. Nothing spectacular to be mentioned.

Satellites

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 6: 18,80 €; budget after week 7: 17,80 €

On the 1€ level I played 4 tournaments (3x with tickets and 1x with cash buy-in). I just won 1x4€-ticket.

On the 2€ level I played 1 tournament, where I used 2 tickets (1 buy-in and the 1 rebuy).

I have to say, that I should have won at least one more 4€-ticket, but I played the late stages awfully this week: no patience at all and shoving some questionable hands. Something I need to work on!

Ticket bankroll:

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 5: 66,60 €; bankroll after week 6: 69,77 €

Cash games

Results oriented this is the best week for me in the cash games. A total profit of 13,54 €, after seeing 191 flops. I did run hot for sure, but I think, that I played solid too.

Satellites

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 5: 19,80 €; budget after week 6: 18,80 €

Well I can sum up my week at the ”Qualifier to Unibet Open 4€ 5 TIX” with the following sentence: “Turned full house is not good enough!!!” xD

I also busted two more with QQ<AQ and KK<JJ. I won just two tickets on this level from 12 attempts.

On the 2€ level I played 4 tournaments and won 2x10€-tickets, which I exchanged.

Hello guys! It is time for my weekly update of my results in 2020.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 4: 52,34 €; bankroll after week 5: 66,60 €

I decided to buy 1€-tickets for 5-man SNG with my poker bonus points. I won 5000 from the tennis competition and got some from the Supertoto competition and Advents Calender left. My goal is to get my SNG-bankroll to at least 100 € after using my bonus points, which will mean, that I can go up to the next level (2€ 5-man SNG).

Cash games

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 4: 70,08 €; bankroll after week 5: 73,87 €

Very small sample here this week, but the good news is that the bankroll is moving in the right direction. I played the Double Trouble tournament, but I didn’t cash (QQ<K3s).

Satellites

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 3: 20,30 €; budget after week 4: 19,80 €

I played 3 Unibet Open Centrolls. On Monday I was the bubble boy once again after some sick hands and people playing just bingo… After that I decided to not play the Centrolls anymore. My stats look like this: 60 Centrolls played (6€ spent) and 14 tickets won (23,3% ITM finishes). I do recommend them to players with very small bankroll. They are great for building a satellite ticket bankroll from almost nothing. I also played 11 more freerolls and won 2x2€-tickets. One of the tickets I won from the “Jackpot Freerolls”, where I paid an add on for 0,20€. I won’t play these anymore either. I played 80 and won 9 tickets in total (1x4€, 3x2€ and 5x1€). From now on I will exchange my 4€-tickets to 4x1€-tickets and go on like this until I have 40x4€-tickets. On the other path I exchanged my 10€-ticket to 5x2€-tickets. I played 8 x ”Qualifier to Unibet Open 4€ 5 TIX” and finished 4 times ITM. Ticket bankroll:

Summary of January 2020:

It was a good month overall. I didn’t manage to play or study much, but the good thing is that I respected my bankroll management 100% and managed to control myself, when tilted. I also updated my blog regularly. I read the @MathrimC  poker journal here on the community. I found it very educational and inspiring. I hope that I can do something like him and climb the poker levels that fast. I will copy one thing from his blog: setting up monthly goals and doing summaries at the end of the month. In my next post I will write my goals for February.

Enjoy your Sunday evening and run good at the poker tables!

@KrustyTheClown  Thank you very much for your comment and for the link. Feedback like this is one of the main reasons for starting this blog. I really appreciate it! Yes, in this particular situation my call was right, even though I messed up the math, but for sure I made wrong calls on many other occasions, which is one of the reasons for my losses in cash games. With this gorilla maths, that I use, while sitting on the table, I never really consider the possible outs for my opponents, so this is one big leak in my overall game. I should take some more time into practising this, playing with such calculators and reviewing more hands/situations.

Hello everybody,

I have one question: I already asked for acces once and I did exchange one ticket. Should I ask for acces every time, or there is some kind of a list and I am in it now? Which will mean I can exchange as many tickets as I want, if I follow the rules on the first page?

Thanks in advance!

Acces requested, please!

Hello guys! It is time for my weekly update of my results in 2020.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 3: 52,34 €; bankroll after week 4: 52,34 €

I didn’t play any SNGs this week.

Cash games

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 3: 80,12 €; bankroll after week 4: 70,08 €

Well, I am struggling with this one. I overvalue my hands, play very loose, open a lot of hands, which is just wrong and I lose money. I need to work on my game, maybe will take some time and study a little bit. On Tuesday I will play Double Trouble with the ticket I received two weeks ago. Any winnings from any Double Trouble tournaments will go in my cash bankroll.

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 3: 24,90 €; budget after week 4: 20,30 €

I played 6 Unibet Open Centrolls and 4 freerolls and didn’t manage to win anything. The Centrolls were very painfull: I finished in 4 of them in the top 10 (10th, 7th, 8th and 5th). The last one I was the bubble buy after the short stack keep doubling up when behind… But it happens, I am glad, that I played them well. I also played 3 ”Qualifier to Unibet Open 4€ 5 TIX” and I did a rebuy in one of them, so 4€ gone from my budget. The result was 1x4€-Ticket won. I also played my 25€-Ticket, because it was going to expire and I couldn’t exchange it anymore (got more than 20 4€-Tickets). I lost a big pot witk AhKh flopping Jh2h5d and then two bricks. Then a few hands later I was dealt KK, a guy opened from middle position 3x, I shoved my 20 BBs and he snap called with 55. I am very glad and happy, that such guys play on this level, it makes me confident, that I am going to succeed with my mission. A 5 on the river was very painful, but I am also proud of myself, that I shut down the client and went to bed, instead of losing my money on NL25 for example. Ticket bankroll:
