  1. Looking back on my goals for June: 1) get a membership on a training site and study for at least 4 hours a week ==> I failed this one pretty hard but i have better hopes for July as I did subscribe to learnpropoker in June and the goal is to actually get to study this month Time to study!! 2) get the business side of poker in order (taxes wise) ==> I managed to get an appointment with an accountant and he is currently setting up the poker business, all my winnings will be declared to the tax office!.. not sure if I should cheer or start crying.. 3) lower the table count to focus more on each action while playing( i was playing 9 tables..) ==> this one is still a work in progress but the table count goes drastically down as the session progresses and I find myself putting more thought in my decisions that way. Also, as I'm playing on multiple poker sites, I am still trying out a lot of different tournaments to see which ones fit me best. For example, I have found that bounty tournaments tilt me way more as the math behind them dictate a more liberal gamble style given the increased odds because of the bounties at play. Also, it should be noted I suck at them and need to learn the format better before donating my money again. Life Goals GET IN SHAPE lol ==> after a back injury in December 2019, I gained a ridiculous amount of weight as I had to give up any sports for a few months and i love eating good food. Just as I started going back to working out, the pandemic hit and I couldn't be bothered working out on my own..so yeah much kilo's to lose for our hero. ==> WIN!! I started the month by buying weights and I have been working out almost every day during the month. The fact that I'm still working form home because of the ongoing epidemic helped a lot in setting up a fixed workout schedule ( before I start work or during my lunch hour) In addition, I also started eating healthy food and avoiding alcohol, allowing myself just 1 cheat meal during weekends to be able to go out dinning with my wife. I kept track of my evolution andit looks pretty good as I managed to lose a bit over 5kg during June! Anyway, lets have a look at July 2020: Poker Goals for July: 1) study for at least 4 hours a week and join a study group 2) average 5 sessions a week 3) create a pre-session routine to get mentally ready to grind. I have found myself auto-piloting too much in June. Life Goals for July: Continue working out at least 5 times a week and eating healthy, hoping to dive under 80 kg by August. vaaaammmmoooosssss oh, I'm thinking sharing my story on the 2+2 forum, will see how that goes..anyways.. J*out
  2. ♫And, baby, you could have whatever you like (if you like)♫ aka june 2020 update! Stacks on deck (deck) Patron on ice (ice) And we can pop bottles all night And, baby, you could have whatever you like (if you like) I said you could have whatever you like (if you like), yeah (yeah) Ok so June is officially gone, so I guess it's time for an update, not feeling terribly inspired so this will be a short update . After a good poker month of May, I was hyped for June and hoped to at least confirm my status as a mtt grinder and hopefully keep the goodrun alive. Things started well, cashing in some tournaments and feeling great overall but from the 5th of June until the 15th of June, I had a first taste of mtt variance as I was unable to grow a stack in any tournaments and losing all my allin flips as a big favorite. The fact that i punted some stacks because of impatience during these days didn't help much but things turned around toward the end of the month as I did keep grinding when things were looking grim. I'm glad I didn't stop playing as i managed a new personal best, winning 504$ in a 5$ reload tournament! some other note-worthy finishes: So all in all, we did pretty good as I managed to secure around 750€ in June, and although it's less than what I made in May, I'll still take it!
  3. In no particular order Our hero also did pretty good in some UOS events, in order of shiippingz: 1) E88 Rebuy Nano: shiiip 2) UOS83: runner up! 3) going places: good luck mister J* 4) non UOS event but nice score in the galaxy 5) started from the bottom...now we getting somewhere lol UOS125: 4 left as the shortstack but without a care in the world as i was guaranteed at least 242€ 3 left and our hero is still short..but guaranteed 329€! Aaaaaand headsup lol: the headsup lasted 1 hand as villain woke up with AKs and flopped the world..but biggest shiiiip for hero for his first tournament month: 451€ That's right, not bad for a few hours of clicking buttons lol So yeah, May was pretty good poker-wise, I feel like I won way more money than I deserve playing a poker format I know very little about but it feels damn good to see that decent amounts of money can still be made in poker with more or less basic understanding of some poker concepts. Moving forward, I want to start studying tournament poker as I find myself unsure of the correct action in too many spots and know for sure I'm playing way too tight toward the end of tournaments. Poker Goals for June: 1) get a membership on a training site and study for at least 4 hours a week 2) get the business side of poker in order (taxes wise) 3) lower the table count to focus more on each action while playing( i was playing 9 tables..) In short: bankroll UP, weight DOWN Before I leave: I like to put song lyrics in my titles and posts as they reflect my mood or state of mind while writing my posts. For this post, I chose the song i have been using on all my tournament final tables on loop, it's clearly a winning song ! J*out
  4. may 2020 update: ♪Turn up baby, turn up, when I turn it on You know how I get too lit when I turn it on Can't handle my behavior when I turn it on Too fast, never ask, if the life don't last♪♪ After the realization of my newfound love for tournament poker, I started 2020 still cheating with my old cashgame love, grinding a bankroll to be able to play 25nl after i cashed out my roll in December to spend in the holiday season. I would still play a tournament on occasion but nothing spectacular. Its only from halfway march and the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic that I started playing more tournaments and slowly making it my main game. One of the main reasons for the transition was a new passed law going into effect in April that prohibited online casino's to hand out any kind of bonuses or play incentives to players. For example, one of the bonus i got last year: In this bonus, players losing 20€ or more in 1 week get a free tournament ticket where the top100 finishers get 40€. The new lam prohibiting Belgian players from partaking in any bonuses means that we as players are at a major disadvantage as these bonuses are a inherent part of a players earning from poker. This fact accelerated my transition as I didn't have any incentive for grinding cash games anymore and from mid April, I started viewing myself as a tournament player and stopped playing cash-games altogether. I stated in my previous post that my knowledge of tournament play was very limited but this didn't stop me from playing tournaments lol..and I guess my luckbox was nicely filled because I quickly shipped a tournament over 147 players for my then best score of my newborn tournament life: Because of the pandemic, i was working from home and keeping my daughter at the same time in a time period that is the busiest in my line of work ( I'm managing a training fund) meaning I didn't manage to find much time to grind in April. I did get an email from Unibet stating that the Unibet Online series ( UOS), a tournament series with buy ins ( entree fee) range from low to high, would be running the first 3 weeks of may! In my mind, this could only mean 1 thing: LET'S GET OUR GRIND ON! After receiving the spousal ok, I then started grinding the satellites and did pretty well in them ( a satellite is a lower buy in or entree fee tournament that gives out a number of tickets for a higher entry fee tournament): Despite my resolution to grind hard during the UOS, I didn't manage to find much time in the first 2 weeks of May to play the events I wanted, still I did play some tournaments and did fairly well in them, ending in the money ( paid places of tournaments) more often than not.
  5. Hey UB community, As i find myself in love with the pokergame again, i started writing about my story (https://juliano4fun.wixsite.com/mylifeonthegrind) to keep track of my poker journey and now decided to share it here for the lulz. Too lazy to rewrite my reintroduction just copy pasting first entries from my blog until end of october :-) --- New year, new me.. hmm scrap that, but allow me to reintroduce myself, I am J*, 35 year old from Belgium currently living in Brussels. I had a blog many years ago ( back in '08) where I would write about my pokerlife when the poker BOOM was raging and I got bitten myself by the poker bug. I recently stumbled upon that blog ( in dutch) https://mylifeonthegrind.blogspot.com/ and it was a great read for me as I had forgotten many of the stories I shared back then. Also after years of absence from the poker field, I started playing in a very recreational way as I now work full time leading a training fund, am married and father to the sweetest imaginable 5 year old girl. The recreational grind started again somewhere around the beginning 2019 but with big lapses of time in which i wouldn't play at all. How did i got the poker stuff restarted u ask? Well i always have been a big computer game enthusiast and as such, have always kept an eye out on twitch for some poker streamers like Unibet ambassador David. Now poker-wise, I used to be a hardcore cash-game grinder back in the days when poker sites would just throw insane signup bonus/rakeback deals just to try to get your action but since I restarted playing a bit more, I haven't been able to enjoy the pure cashgame grind as I used to many years ago. Off course, the poker climate has changed drastically with the abundance of free or relatively cheap material to improve one's pokergame resulting on games where the vast majority understand at least the basics of poker, even at the lowest stakes. Still, even without having read any extensive theoretical material well over a decade, I have been beating the 10nl games on Unibet for a decent chunck of green but I find the 25nl stakes to be quite challenging as the stake regulars have a decent grasp of what it means to be (over) aggro in cashgame. As of now, I believe I am only a slight winner/ breakeven player on 25nl, but I lack a decent samplesize as I haven't been grindin much cashtables in the last couple of months. Back in the day, I would sometime play poker tournaments but I never really quite enjoyed them ( or shipped anything substantial lol) as I enjoyed the much faster paced cash game action up to 100nl online. Anyway, from watching twitch streamers/ poker end-bosses like Jaime Staples or Fintan Hand or Ian ;-), I slowly got the idea to maybe start some donkaments from time to time. Playing on Unibet, I was pretty amazed how low the level of play is in tournaments and as the fields are pretty small compared to the 1k plus fields of pokerstars, I even found myself shipping some donk.. euhm I mean tournaments for 50x buyin while still feeling like I knew very little about them except for having heard terms like ICM, knowing that aggression is key around the bubble or to abuse the shorties when u build a big stack lol. Some examples of (very) low stakes tournament results from 2019: Anyway, after asking a 2019 mtt graph from Unibet somewhere around february 2020 where i had 100% of my mtt action, i was surprised to see that I shipped around 800eur in 2019, which is amazing since I couldn't be bothered to play anything else that the 2€ multiverse tournament and the 2€ galaxy on rare occasions since it ends so late ( between 1 and 2 am). Playing ( and winning) these tournaments, I discovered that I much more enjoyed the thrill of shipping a tournament over 30,60 or 200 players, than winning yet another AA vs KK 4bet pot in cashgames. Also, I discovered that I tilt way more from losing that same AA vs KK in cashgame than losing a flip with AK vs TT for final table chiplead with 15 left.. Adding all these ingredients together, it was now clear that I would play way more tournaments in 2020 when I would have the time to do so. How did our hero fare into the messy world of MultiTableTournaments in 2020? stay tuned for next update and find out :-) J'out
