Dimitar's Poker Career


LeVsKaRa

Recommended Posts

For the first time this year I had a whole calendar week with not a single poker hand played. There are a couple of reasons:

  • I have a lot to do in my regular job. Two big projects that I am working on have their deadlines in May, so some days I stay late at work. The result is that I am more tired and have even less free time than usual.
  • https://www.unibetopen.com/unibet-open-tour-move-online-rest-2020/ : The article is from Monday, but I expected it with the beginning of the pandemic. The whole live Unibet events will be online… This is a huge frustration to me, as the main reason, that I play poker is to qualify for a live event, in order to visit new places and make vacations there. Now this is not possible this year, one of my main yearly goals was to qualify for a live event and this isn’t possible now. So my motivation for playing poker right now is gone...

Of course I love the game. I will continue playing the UO qualifiers, I have a long road until I will be even  able to play a 250€-final. In May I will not update my poker blog weekly, after that I hope I will have more free time and hopefully my motivation back.

This whole pandemic situation is one huge piece of :Heart::Hearts::Heart:. I love to travel and this year (and maybe the next couple ones, who knows?) this is going to be almost impossible.  And the whole “no social contact thing” is starting to really piss me off…

April was a strange month: I didn’t any poker since 19th of the month. Still I want to evaluate my results. I will not have much time to play in May, that is why I will set just two simple goals.

Evaluation of monthly goals: April 2020

  • Satellite goal: collect 40x4€-tickets UNCOMPLETED
    • I have 38x4€ UO tickets right now, 2 away from my goal. I don’t want to make any excuses and that is why this part is marked red.
  • SNG challenge: play at least 20 SNGs COMPLETED
    • 37 SNGs played
  • Study goal:
    • Review some interesting hands after finishing a tournament PARTLY COMPLETED
    • Reread “Poker Satellite Strategy” and take notes (chapter 5-13) UNCOMPLETED
  • Cashgame goal: Play at least 10 hours of cashgames (2-tabling) and finish all parts of the Moving On missions PARTLY COMPLETED
    • I did play enough hours of cash games, but I finished just the first part of the Moving On missions.

New monthly goals: May 2020

  • Satellite goal: collect 40x4€ UO tickets
  • Study goal:
    • Finish “Poker Satellite Strategy” and take notes

I barely played poker the last three weeks, but I will write a short update in my blog.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 16: 100,28 €; bankroll after week 19: 98,62 €

4x2€-SNGs, 2 cashes (2nd place).

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 16: 85,71 €; bankroll after week 19: 98,45 €

4 buy-ins won after very few hands played: I basically won 2 very big pots, both all in preflop. First one KK>AQ, second one: 4-way pot my AK hit the A on the flop and beat KK, TT and 89s.

Satellites:

Starting Budget: 30 €: budget after week 16: 17,04 €; budget after week 19: 0 €

I have a solid ticket bankroll now, so I don’t need the remaining 17,04 € from my starting budget. This will be transferred to my MTT bankroll.

I played 7x1€ UO satellites and won 2x4€-tickets.

On the 2€-level I played 2 tournaments and won 1x10€-ticket. I will use my remaining 8x2€-tickets and then I will decide how to proceed on this road.

UO Ticket bankroll:

2137903093_Week19.png.90066e8cb179533fd86fbdaae84d46a3.png

MTT (bankroll 15,08 €):

I busted my previous “MTT bankroll”. Now I added the budget from the satellites (17,04€). Not real plan how to use/play here, but no need for a plan for the near future, as I am not going to play much.

Double or Nothing (bankroll 32,08 $)

Couple of months ago I started playing Double or Nothnig SNGs on another poker room. My starting bankroll was 25$. The format is very useful to train my satellite play and to be honest is one of my favorite. So far 49 played, 30 times ITM finishes (63%).

My first deadline at work was last Friday. Everything went well so far. The other deadline was postponed with two months, so this all means I have a little more time to play poker.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 19: 98,62 €; bankroll after week 20: 108,62 €

1x1€ HexaPros, hit a 5x, but I finished runner up.

4x2€-SNGs: two wins, 2 other cashes (2nd place).

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 19: 98,45 €; bankroll after week 20: 105,09 €

1,66 buy-ins won, slowly but I am going in the right direction xD. I managed to 3-table for 20 minutes yesterday, but I got tired pretty fast.

Satellites:

BIG NEWS HERE! I have 40x4€ UO tickets now. I played 3x1€ tournaments (using 4 tickets, 1 rebuy) and won 3 more tickets, finishing the step 3b of my yearly goals in style. I played 97 tournaments (I counted a rebuy as a new tournament) and won 37 tickets from these (38,1% ITM). Now with 40 tickets for the next level, the plan is to never ever play the 1€ UO satellites again.

The first couple of 4€ tickets will expire in July, so no rush here. I will finish Dara’s book until the end of the month and will start “grinding” the 4€ UO satellites then.

On the 2€-level I played 1 tournament and my KK got destroyed from AQs (all in preflop), turned flush…

UO Ticket bankroll:

1426662107_Week20.png.010c7dfb2384468c47b272f066a4fc50.png

MTT (bankroll 15,08 €):

No MTTs this week.

Double or Nothing (bankroll 37,40 $)

I’ve got a little mistake in my excel sheet for this section.  Now everything should be correct. 15 more played (10 ITM). It took me two hours 3-tabling, at the end I was exhausted. Overall 62 played, 40 times ITM (64,5 %).

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 20: 108,62 €; bankroll after week 21: 103,12 €

5x2€-SNGs, one buy-in was a ticket from the Challenge Points System (I reached 3000 this week). Not a single cash.

I played also Hexas to complete the May missions. I finished with +2,50 € from playing these.

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 20: 105,09 €; bankroll after week 21: 133,77 €

7 buy-ins won, marks my best week at the cash tables. 1 buy-in was won in Omaha.

Satellites:

On the 2€-level I played 1 tournament, but couldn’t cash. I won 1x2€ UO ticket from Part 5 of May mission. So no changes in the UO Ticket bankroll.

UO Ticket bankroll:

462474091_Screenshot(454).png.4987ad098f15d088d9b8fcbd90684d84.png

MTT (bankroll 0 €):

I busted my tiny MTT bankroll once again. No surprise here, because I do not have any plan and just randomly play 5€ or even 10€ buy-in tournaments. I won the two tickets for the special monthly freerolls. I will play these and then make a real plan here.

Double or Nothing (bankroll 37,28 $)

15 more played (8 ITM). Overall 77 played, 48 times ITM (62,3 %).

If you don’t know I have a restriction for the casino, so I am not able to use the free spins from the monthly missions. So I decided to make a small giveaway here in my blog. In the spoiler I tagged everyone, who has contributed to my poker blog (like or comment) until yesterday, 31.05.2020. If you are tagged and want to take part in this giveaway, please like this post within the next 48 hours (deadline Wednesday, 03.06.2020, 15:30 CEST). Then I will choose randomly one of you and @ReCorpH  will transfer you the free spins.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 21: 103,12 €; bankroll after week 22: 103,12 €

No SNGs played this week.

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 21: 133,77 €; bankroll after week 22: 129,96 €

I had one of these awful days on Friday, when I lost 5 buy-ins (set into set, straight into flush, flush into full house, KK into AA, etc.) Good thing is that overall for the week I am only 1 buy-in down.My main focus this week was on the cash game tables. The King of Flips promotion brought a lot of guys, who just want to see flops. For me this means, that I can c-bet the flops more often, because most of the guys went to flop with speculative holdings and just fold.

Satellites:

On the 2€-level I played 1 tournament and won a 10€ ticket.

UO Ticket bankroll:

809587440_Week22.png.7bbd08e1655570f6482de0d081b75e9d.png

MTT (bankroll 23,48 €):

I had a little adventure with MTTs this week. Playing like absolute gambler tournaments from 0,25 € buy-in until 10 € buy-in. No bankroll management at all. Luckily I finished 3rd in the 300 € Atom (cash for 54,17 €) and now I have a tiny MTT bankroll again.

Double or Nothing (bankroll 39,02 $)

15 more played (9 ITM). Overall 92 played, 57 times ITM (62,0 %).

This week was a small disaster for me at the tables so far. Despite playing close to my best and taking in a lot of situations the right decisions, this card game can be brutal... I will play the May missions freerolls tonight and will update my results tomorrow evening.

The week was a small disaster results oriented, as I mentioned in my previous post. I will try to list the good things first and then will proceed with the results update.

  • No tilt: despite getting a lot of bad beats, I stay calmed and continued playing my game
  • I didn’t chase my losses, I didn’t disrespect my bankroll management: in such situation last year I would have just load a NL10 or NL25 table to try “quickly” win my losses back. Now I took the wise decision to not play cash games until the end of the week, get the Double Trouble Ticket and try again next week.
  • I often smiled, when the fish hit their river. I truly did. It is just a silly card game after all and I know the maths: I can’t win every 80%/20% or even 90%/10% situation. But in the long run I will make money.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 22: 103,12 €; bankroll after week 23: 99,04 €

1x2€ SNG and I finished 5th after my own mistake: it was a river shove from my opponent, when the straight and the flush draw were completed and I couldn’t fold my set.

I then played 10x1€ SNGs, mostly trying to rebuild my confidence. The results weren’t perfect (2 wins and 1 other cash), but it was just some kind of small variance, I did the right things in most situations.

I find a big gap between the players at 1€ and 2€ SNGs. Once I read in this forum, that the 2€ level is more difficult than the 4€, because in the 4€ there are more fish with simply more money to play and in the 2€ are all of the good players from the 1€ SNGs or something like that.

I played my 1€ HexaPro ticket from June Mission Part 1, hit a 10x multiplier, but I couldn’t win it… I hate this HexaPro bingos… In my opinion this is not real poker at all, especially in the 1,5x multipliers, where you can’t play a hand postflop. You don’t have time to wait for decent hands, to get some reads on your opponent, nothing. You just hope to hit some cards and get lucky. Or maybe I am just terrible at these. I see that Unibet will make them even more turbo, there are always promotions to play them, and in the same time the SNGs are almost dead…

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 22: 129,96 €; bankroll after week 23: 104,82 €

Well I “won” a Double Trouble Ticket. No need to say more.

Satellites:

On the 2€-level I played 2 tournaments, but I couldn’t win a ticket.

On the 4€-level I played 1 tournament and won a 25€ ticket. I played at my absolute best and in every single situation I knew why I played it the way I did. Dara’s book is absolute masterpiece for he satellites. If you play these, just read the book!!!

UO Ticket bankroll:

1714448599_Week23.png.013af8c920916962e909403f04746123.png

MTT (bankroll 17,98 €):

No bankroll management at all once again. I lost 5,50€, couldn’t make anything significant in the monthly freerolls.

Double or Nothing (bankroll 35,60 $)

9 more played (3 ITM). Overall 101 played, 60 times ITM (59,4 %)

 

As conclusion I will quote blackrain79: “If you take this game seriously then I would advise you to stop worrying about the money right now and start focusing instead on the things that you actually control. And that is putting in the long hard hours both at the tables and away from them and challenging yourself to get better every time you play.”

No update last week, so this one is going to be a long one xD

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 23: 99,04 €; bankroll after week 25: 124,96 €

My passion for the SNGs is back. SNGs and DoNs were the reason that I felt in love with poker more than 8 years ago, long before I even played at a cash table or discovered the satellites and MTTs. The move back to the 1€ level was a correct decision in order to restore my confidence. I played 41 tournaments on the 1€ level (11 wins, 11 runner ups, 19 not ITM = 11,25€ won), 2 losses at the 2€ level and I took 4 risky shots at the 4€ level (finished 3rd, 2nd, 1st and 1st).

I also played a couple of HexaPros to complete the monthly missions. (profit 3€)

I ordered Collin Moshman’s book and I can’t wait to have 200€ in my SNG bankroll to start playing the 4€ level regularly.

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 23: 104,82 €; bankroll after week 25: 49,23 € + 8,65€ cash ticket

One more Double Trouble ticket “won”. I will use my tickets in the following two weeks. Any wins will go to the MTT bankroll. Of course there were bad beats in those two weeks, but surely half of the losses are from my own mistakes. After almost six months playing the cash games, I can definitely say it is not my thing. I will slowly give up on these and play them mostly to complete monthly missions or to clear some cash tickets. I will get my focus on the SNGs, UO satellites, DoNs and soon MTTs.

Satellites:

On the 4€-level I played 3 more tournaments.

  • In the first one I managed to build a solid stack, I was in the money in the middle of the tournament and then made a mistake: I called an all in with trips and a bad kicker on the river (very dry board). My opponent showed his trips with K kicker and I was left with a very small stack. I should have just folded there and wait for a better spot. I considered the fold, but couldn’t do it.
  • In the next one I played very well, again managed to build a solid stack playing mostly again two fishes and value betting them strong. In the middle stage I shoved my 30 BBs (AKo) from SB and got called with KJ from the BB (13 BBs). Turned straight… Shortly after I shoved AKs and another guy with a similar stack to mine called with AQo and the Q on the flop was the end of my tournament. I believe my shoves are both ok. The KJ should surely be a fold preflop and the AQo is a close one, but until this moment I played tight and only showed monsters on showdown.
  • After the late registration in the third one there were a total of 26 players registered, which meant 4x25€ tickets, 2x4€tickets and 1,04 € for place 7. I was really card dead in the first 30 minutes, but I stayed focused. There was one very funny guy at my table, sadly I didn’t have any chance to play against him. My discipline paid off and I was dealt AK, AA, AK in a row and managed to chip up to around 5000 chips. Then I made one small mistake shoving with 88 to a minraise. I was snapcalled (TT) and my stack was down to 6 BBs. After two orbits I shoved my 3,6 BBs with AQo and got called by the chip leader (66 BBs) with his K9o. Double up for me. This happened at the final table. Despite the double up I was still last. And then the funny guy shoved and it was folded to me in the BB. 88 was my hand, I saw this guy shoving all kinds of Ax, Kx hands, so I called. He showed T8 and I doubled up one more time. Shortly after we were down to 5 (the real stone cold bubble). I had around 15 BBs and was once again the short stack. Here comes my second small mistake in the tournament: I shoved 66 and got called by AJ. I had luck and won the flip and eventually won the 25€ ticket, but I should have waited for a better spot/hand with my 15BBs. 

As a conclusion there are definitely people in the 4€ UO satellites, who know what they are doing, but still make some mistakes. There are also at least 3-4 huge whales with no idea how a satellite workes, so I am confident that I will beat this level too.

UO Ticket bankroll:

1404734088_Screenshot(470).png.e77950e4e3ed664cb2193456ddfb415e.png

MTT (bankroll 10,06 €):

I have my first MTT victory (satellites not counted here). It was a nano tournament, but still I am very happy. I kind of felt it in the middle of the tournament, when I took the chip lead and never looked back. Unfortunately this was the only cash for me in the MTTs.

The other good news is that the maximum buy-in was 2€ (I cut 5€ and 10€ buy-ins). The next step is to cut the 2€ as well. Then I will try to collect some bonus points (I have around 25€ in these so far) and have a proper MTT bankroll to play 1€ tournaments.

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 25: 124,96 €; bankroll after week 26: 137,73 €

This week I played almost exclusively the 1€ level, volume was low (9 played, 6 wins, 1 runner-up) as I had lots of stuff to do at the weekend.

At the 2€ level I ended my red streak (9 without cashes) with one second place.

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 25: 49,23€ + 8,65€ cash ticket; bankroll after week 26: 59,87 €

I busted the cash ticket, but I won 10,64 €.

Satellites:

On the 4€-level I played 3 more tournaments.

  • In the first one I just played awful and after couple loose calls I was out.
  • In the next one I was card dead. Shoved my 20-25 BBs with AQ after the late registration was completed and got two calls: JJ and AQ. The pair held and it was over for me and the other AQ xD.
  • The third one started in a perfect way. First hand, I was in the BB and as usual a couple of guys limped. I floped trips with K kicker, bet the flop and got called and then bet again the turn and it was folded around. Chip leader! xD After that there were slow 10-15 minutes for me. The KK on the button with 4xBB original raise and one caller was the perfect opportunity. I reraised and the original raiser shoved his stack. I snapcalled and was against AQo. K on the flop and my opponent was dead on the turn. Chip leader once again with 8500 chips. Nothing interesting until the final table. With 7 people left (4 tickets, 1 other small cash) there was one very interesting hand. At that time I and 3 other players had similar stacks (15 BBs) in the first four places. I was in the BB (Ks9s) and all the other 3 mentioned players limped the pot. FLOP: JsThKd , giving me top pair, a dangerous gut shot and a backdoor flush draw. There was a bet of 1 BB, 1 guy folded, the other guy and I called. Turn: 3s. Again 1BB bet and two calls (including me). River: 2d, total brick. It was check around and I won the pot against AJ and QJ. This gave me the chip lead with more than 17000 chips and I folded all other hands and finished 2nd

On the 2€ level I played just one tournament, but I couldn’t cash. Don’t even remember the bust out, but it was something standard.

On Friday I registered a freeroll (I do this mostly to add one more table, when I play) and then play these freerolls very aggressively and loose in order to gain a big stack early on. This time it worked: I won a 6 way preflop all in with KJo. I won 1€ UO ticket from this tournament and then turned it in a 4€ UO ticket.

UO Ticket bankroll:

989998936_UOWeek26.png.ed5a4147bf75accc2a6daeb98436c83c.png

MTT (bankroll 46,96 €):

I finished ITM in the first Double Trouble, that I had ticket for. And boy, it was a sweat. I finished with less than an ante. Two hands before the tournament ended, I had 744 chips and the ante was 600. 10 seconds before the level change the hand was dealt with 102 players left. I folded and at this hand just 1 guy was knocked out. So 101 left, 100 ITM, I was forced all in and was dealt 45o, a guy shoved his 56s (??, but thank you!) and JKAA7 board meant, that we chopped! Unbelievable joy for me!!! It was actually just the third showdown for me in the tournament.

I also played a couple of nano tournaments to complete the last part of June Missions.

I will now use my second Double Trouble Ticket. I will play with my community alias. Wish me luck!

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 26: 137,73 €; bankroll after week 27: 141,47 €

I used my 5€ HexaPro ticket from June missions Part 5 and won 7,50€. I played two more HexaPros (1€ buy-in) for Part 2 of July missions. Won 1,50€ from the first one and finished second in the other one (5x). For Part 3 I played a 5 more, three wins (1,5x). Total profit: 6,50€

I played a mix of 1€, 2€ and 4€ SNG games this week. On the 4€ level it was just one shot and I finished second. On the 2€ level I played 8 games (2 wins, 2 other cashes) and on the 1€ level 16 played (1 win, 3 other cashes).

Overall a small profit and the SNG bankroll is going in the right direction. One tiny step closer to the 4€ SNG level.

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 26: 59,87 €; bankroll after week 27: 57,30 €

10 flops seen in NLHE: +1,06€ ; 10 flops seen in PLO: -3,63€

Satellites:

On the 4€-level I played 2 more tournaments.

  • There was a small overlay in the first one. I won 3-4 medium pots and had an average final table stack. When we were down to 7 (4 tickets guaranteed) all of us had similar stacks (around 15 BBs) and it was shove/fold modus. None funny players, everyone had a decent understanding how to play a satellite in this stage. So it was mostly up to the cards. My shove (99) was snapcalled by the next player to act and I knew I was in a bad spot. Folded around and the caller showed QQ and covered me by 2-3 BBs. 9 on the turn saved me and made me the chip leader. One more ticket won shortly after.
  • In the next one I made some stupid mistakes. Sadly, because I build a nice stack after flopping the nut flush and one guy bet all three streets with his K high flush. I raised him on the river and he snap called only to see the nuts. Good opportunity wasted, but it can happen.

On the 2€ level I played just one tournament and won a ticket.

MTT (bankroll 85,53 €):

I finished 131/400+ in the Double Trouble. Best hand that I was dealt preflop for 45 minutes was 77 and I doubled up against KQ. The bustout was a A6s shove from the button with 3,4 BBs. The big blind called me with KJo and four flushed me on the river. Painful one!

The big news this week is my second MTT victory for 2020. And this time it was a more prestigious that the Nano one. I won the 100€ Multiverse (2€ buy-in + 2€ add-on). Of course the luck part was enormous: in the middle part of the tournament (after late reg and add-on) I was down to 10 BBs and shoved my A9s from late position and got two callers: AJ and AQ. Miracle happened and I rivered a 9 and got my triple up.

Tonight I will play the monthly freerolls with my community alias. I don’t remember to ever cash anything in these. I hope it will sum up and I will win one soon :D

SNG:

Starting bankroll: 50 €; bankroll after week 27: 141,47 €; bankroll after week 28: 157,64 €

I played once again a mix of 1€, 2€ and 4€ SNG games this week. On the 4€ level 2 wins out of 3 (profit 13,34€). On the 2€ level I played 2 games (no cashes) and on the 1€ level 28 played (7 wins, 8 other cashes, total profit 6,83 €).

Another step to the 4€ SNG level!

Cash games:

Starting bankroll: 100 €; bankroll after week 27: 57,30 €; bankroll after week 28: 52,03 €

4 suited cards in PLO was a hard one to complete. A little loss here, let’s hope to turn that 2€ HexaPro ticket into money.

Part 4 required also cash game play.

Satellites:

On the 4€-level I played just 1 tournament: 4x25€ tickets, 6x4€ tickets and 0,08 for 11th place were the prices. When we were down to 15, I had a small stack (not too short, but nowhere near to the needed stack for a 25€ ticket). So I decided to play it safe, secure my buy-in back and then look for a spot to double up. Well the double up didn’t happen, but I got my ticket back.

Well after moaning last week, that I never cash in a monthly freeroll, I cashed in both of them last Sunday. I was the chip leader in both of them for some periods. Especially in the 3000€ guaranteed I was long time at the top. When we were down to three tables everyone was kind of short because of the fast structure (10-15 BBs for the chip leaders). I was 7th at this point and played my AQo aggressively (well most hands were allins preflop). Sadly I was up against AKs and lost this hand. It was going to make me chip leader once again with some decent stack (maybe enough for final table). I busted in 16/903 place for 21,03€. Nice deep run, but there were more than 400€ for the winner, so I am not very happy.

On Thursday I played the Betting Freeroll and it was played like a freeroll indeed. My AQ got cracked by A8 and it was game over for me pretty fast.

A couple more tournaments played, but nothing spectacular to report.

Part 4 and 5 of the monthly missions required also cash game play. A little profit here.

Satellites

Finishing bubble boy in a satellite is always painful. I made a small mistake, no need to say more here.

MTT (bankroll 108,49 €)

On Monday (13.07.2020) I played once again the Betting Freeroll. There was one maniac on my table who shoved any two. He managed to knock out three players and build a huge stack. I waited my monster hand and called him with AKs. A little sweat there, but I managed to hold. The maniac stopped shoving any two preflop, but still raised every hand. I waited for another sweet spot and managed to value bet him huge on all three streets with my nut flush. I was in the top 10 with 150 left and then lost a big pot after getting the money in good on the turn 70 to 30%, but the river completed the straight for my opponent. With my shortstack I showed discipline and cashed for 1,06 € (55th out of 400). It’s a small amount, but I need to respect every single cash, every single cent and play every single tournament with the right mindset.

I had a deep run once again in the 100€ Multiverse, but I finished 2nd. Sadly because in the HU there was a point, when I had 30 BBs and the opponent 10 BBs. There was an all in preflop AK for me, KT for him and he hit his T… I got disappointed at this moment, because the guy always dominated me on showdowns, always with some kind of monster hand preflop, when I had a decent hand. He survived three times an all in against me before the HU... 29,51€ for my second place.

Couple more tournaments, but no more cashes.
