A new start, the way to progress

Hello all!

I take the decision to make a journal for my experiences with poker game in general and with Unibet in particular. Before, I was very active in two topics "post some sick hand" and "what the fk is going on" for some time, wondering how some players got incredible hands, but forgeting that sometimes I hit it too. What comes around, goes around, yup?

Ok, some words about me: I am playing poker for about 3 years. Usually I played freerolls and 1 & 2  SNG or tournaments and  sometimes 4 . I was no doubt an idiot for much time, using some knlowledge of poker games and strategy, and more aggresion that need it, but happy for me, it worked a while. I was not investing big money and nor getting money, but somehow I was in a way for becoming a gambler.

And in July I was stopped by Unibet for going in that direction by suspending my account for a while. Even the suspension was for using a word (and the word is not Fk as you are thinking probable) in this forum, it was a good moment to think if it is ok or not. My first impulse was rage :). But then I think maybe is was a good decision.

So now I'm back, after almost 3 months of suspension and I'm playing different. I read materials that helped my game in this time, watch youtube with the biggest players and most of all relaxing and do a lot of other stuff.

My goals for now on are:

  1. Build a bankroll that is permiting me to play, enjoy the game and relax after working hours. My goals for this are: 100, 500, 1.000, 2.000, 5.000
  2. Enjoy the game much more than hate the game :D . Yes there are still moments of hate, when somebody with absolute nothing hit 4 card in a row and get the pot, but now I am more calm and usually smile about it.
  3. Read more about it. Odds, outs, button, etc are words, a lot of them that I usually I don't use. But I have to read and learn 7-8 hours per week. Learn more is better in every domain and for sure is good in playing poker also.
  4. I want to hit the places with money in every SNG or tornament I sit. For this I have to play more tight than now. I still do the mistake of paying the player even I know he won the pot, just to see the cad and understand the behaviour. And sometimes costs me a lot of chips to do that.
  5. I am trying not to care about the money from poker. They are different than the salary :) . Prudence + fun have to mean less money spent monthly. I guess. 'Cause I had days when I was not winning and I was terrible upset, but not now. Now I am more relaxed, even I was third and lost in SNG, or not getting anything in like 25 hands.
  6. Avoid freerolls! This is important because of two things: time consuming and almost nothing to learn. If I have to learn, I will from better players than me, not from worst or lucky ones. And if I have the time to play for two hours is better to win some bucks. Usually I was hiting easy last 20-30 last players and than lost.
  7. If I am succesfull of step 1, advance to NL10 and NL25 :).

Best regards to all and enjoy the game!

PS: You''ll still find me in "post some sick hands", but I hope not in "what the fk is going on" topics :D .

LE: I restarted in 14 September with 10 . Now I am getting closer to the first step in bankroll 'cause I have 95, including the first ten, even I am not playing everyday or winning at the end of the day that I played. :P

First step/goal of bankroll achieved. I can't play as much as I want 'cause I didn't find either time or mood for that :). But I guess if I take it slow this time is better. I lost a freeroll (14 place) and a 0.01 buy in torunament (26) with bad beats, but I managed the 4th place in another one and get the 20 euros of the prize.

I read and listen to others, watch youtube and found that the majority of clips explains odds and out from a flush :)) , but not from AJo or AJs :D. It easy to understand when your outs are 15 than 7.

Best regards to all.

Yesterday nothing worked, nothing came and until the end of the day I lost 14% of my bankroll. Tough for me, easy money for others. I lost a lot of hands on the river, even when I had the better hand before flop, after the flop, on turn, but lost almost every river with big pots.

In the morning after 5 hours of playing:

  • Turbo holdem 2= 0.00
  • Early morning deep speed 1= 0.00
  • Bounty holdem 1= 0.00 (all in before flop, another 3 calls, I had 99, one player had JT, another A10, another KQ , the flop aq9, turn K, and river 8 and bust all of us, with the worst hand…)
  • 25 GTD Omaha Bounty freerolls 0= 0.00
  • 4SNG= 6.33
  • 25 GTD Turbo Bounty holdem 0= 0.04
  • Omaha turbo bounty 2= 0 ( I got AA player got KQ, flop J109, I got 4 cards to flash, no turn or river to flush, the same player hit again, and I did the same fking mistake to call even I knew it!!!)
  • 50 GTD Turbo Bounty 2 = 0.00 A10s beat by A2 off with full of 2
  • 4 SNG=0
  • Omaha PL4 0.2/0.4 8= 0.00

In the evening two more hours, just SNG and the results:

  • 3 x sng 1= 0+0+1.56
  • 3 x sng 2= 0+0+6.33
  • 3 x sng 4=0+0+12.67

Yesterday I started again to hope that I am still able to get my goals. So I played a little bit tight than I am used.

  • 200 €shooting star 5€ = 0€
  • Ikr pokerfest Bucharest open 0.00€ =0€ (QQ vs 34s get the flush)
  • 1€ sng 1€ = 1.56€
  • 400€ shooting stars 5€ =14.3€ (5th) +19.39€ bounties. (I had a very lucky playerm but I eliminated later - first 3 photos)
  • 200€ wormhole 2€+2€ (re-buy)= 0€

On the final table I got the monster AA vs AKo, but somehow 92.8% my odds were worst than 5.86% of him and instead of leading the table I got only 5th place.(4th photo)

Starting balance: 109.83 €
Curent balance: 130.08 €

Starting balance: 134.37 €
Curent balance: 143.40 €

Today I have played just tournaments:

  • Unibet Open control 0.1€ = 0.00 €

Curent balance: 129.11 €

In the last tournaments I got 2 great gands, especially the AA vs J10, and even I raised and raised he called and get somehow the 4 card to get a straight from nothing. I can't really understand how theese hands are possible to other?!?! I am so tilted that I quit the app and I'm going to do something else for the rest of the evening... How is this possible?!?! I still can't believe it. 82.6% vs 17% before the flop, 85% vs 15% after the flop, 91% vs 9% the turn, and 0% vs 100% after the river! What the fk I am doing wrong?wtf.thumb.jpg.16d79987f13c301f658b1c23b30a6865.jpg

I don't know what is this, but I'm loosing at all games, all the hands that matter. On SNG I barelly hit 1place paid from 10 games, on MTT's nothing at all. All the hand are lost on river or with a better hand before the flop, as you see in the pictures.

No matter if I'm all in, raise or re-raise or call before the flop, on flop, on turn the river beats me. There are some ridiculous hands, like 99 vs Q7, 476 the flop, 8 the turn and 5 the river, I get a straight and he get a flush. I raised all the time but he called like he knows that he'll get the flush. I attempted to get the flush with 2 on my hands and two on the flop and NOT GET IT, but paid a lot of chips and got beaten by a pair, How come is this possible?

Look at the hands posted and tell me what I am doing wrong?

Starting balance: 129.11 €

It sucks that you're going through such a bad run.

Streaks like this are bound to happen to everyone at a certain point, it's part of the variance of poker. Don't let it get you down. It's a good opportunity to practice how you deal with a downswing, find out what's the best way for you not to get frustrated or to get rid of your frustration.

@MathrimC: Thank you for advices. Indeed these moments sucks.

Indeed I got tilted, but now when I got tilted I quit the app and do something else. This time, because earlier this time I was playing tilted and loosing money. Now I prefer to quit and read soemting. It is so hard for me to understand some hands.

I have started to read "Sit'n go strategy" as part of my documentation. This end of the week my goal was to pass the 150 euros and I hope still to do it until monday. I am exercising the "not call" part when I', sure that the other have a better hand. I am trying to be disciplinated, to play much less hands and even to fold when others hit the flop or turn better. But still are those hands that are enoying me like hell in that moment. This meaning that I have to pass it those moments with more peace in order to get over it. But happening in such decisive moments are hard do digest...

From 1st October I paid 115.7€, won 116.3€ so my balance for theese 7 days is 0.6€ :D . It's fking funny that I played more than 100 MTT's and SNG's and Cash Omaha/Holdem and the balance is 0.6€! :D . A fking long way to progress! :D

Let's roll and keep the faith!

P.S. Omaha is a bit trickier than texas 😉

pic1: He had you already at flop
pic2: Kinda classic, villain had a nice low worm on the button, and flopped 2 pairs+open ended str8+flushdraw. No way to fold that! :laugh:

Good morning every one!

The bad saga continue! I was exasperated by the river yesterday, no matter the game. On a moment I had 19.5€ at PLO 4, and after 3 bad beatings I had nothing, closed the laptop and cried in my bad :)))). I wasn't sad or angry, maybe a little angry on myself because I didn't close the laptop on 19.5€ and tried to get 25€.

I completed the 2nd part of the mission and now I started the 3rd one.

In this morning my curent ballance was 96.77€ meaning that I lost in this 3 days 33% of my bank roll! Outside is raining for the second day, almost nothing to do inside so I will continue to read the book and play poker, at least to complete the mission.

Enjoy my picsriver.thumb.jpg.53664dfffff58110ab066791de0a0c1a.jpgriver1.thumb.jpg.6d2d8549034fce45257940afb6544fc1.jpgriver2.thumb.jpg.df94ede24335c52ca0ba38cb022189d3.jpgriver3.thumb.jpg.22a0d65901be72032119d600695ed735.jpgriver4.thumb.jpg.e9124d763dda893e81ecfb4d53416a91.jpgriver5.thumb.jpg.84f8fd20da9b6bb637b5d7b19ee50b6b.jpgriver6.thumb.jpg.1c3563c7315d42a97f7134ddec9d1672.jpg

Morning everyone.

Yesterday the journey of bad luck and bad judgement and bad river got me to the lowest point of balance: 82€ from 96.77 in the morning. Phiuu and yuckk :).

I read a few more pages and did a little analitics of my game. So, I told you that was pouring outside and nothing to do. And considering that and my game was not worst than other days, I continued to play. More tight, much less hands. I played PLO4, 2 MTT's (4th place in one and 10th on other missing the final table with AK vs 22, after many unplayable hands) and a lot of 1 & 2 & 4 SNG's (19 - 11, mostly 2nd, in the money), trying to hit everytime the places with the money. And seems I succed it because at the end of the day my bankroll went up to 104.39€, 22€ in plus from the lowest morning moment.

Also for the first time I am following the mission rewards a 4€ ticket and one for 1000€ GTD. I hope to finish and get them and also I have a lot of points to transform in tickets.

I wish you all to have a wonderfull week and keep the faith and the money if possible :D .Untitled.thumb.jpg.f0d861b59caff44da62404ab53a8c7e8.jpg
