Hi guys,
it's been a while since I last posted, since my last post mid february I had a bad streak. I lost three buyins at 50nl, decided to step back to 30nl to grind out the bad luck (whenever Im losing I always start to doubt my skills) and at 30nl I dropped another 9 (!!) buyins. Most of the time I just couldnt do a thing about it. But I thought about my play, watched some videos and figured out I had drifted a little from the abc-value style that can beat the 30nl. In april I adapted my pla

Just a short update on my progress. Im happy the way its going. Since last post I am 4 buyins up at 50nl. After 3200 hands on my new site I am at 12 bb/100. Sometimes Im surprised about really bad opponents. Sometimes I encounter strong ones. Decent tags at 50nl are starting to learn how to squeeze and even respond to my constant 3betting. This makes the game more interesting :)
My roll at 888 is now $ 819, my total roll is 1519. I will have to keep going until 2200. Seems a long way, still.

Hi all,
just a short update of what Im doing atm. I took a break for two weeks back in november and when I came back, Bodog had their incredible update. This ment that I had change sites again! I decided to go to 888 poker (pacific). They seem to be stable (atm that means no US-players, sorry) and they do have enough traffic.
After I had deposited 500 and the generous lady from the chat made it 530, I started out at 30nl just to get a feel for the site. For me its right in between Merge (many
I have to stop paying off the donkeys!

Hi,
so far I am going around in circles. Playing decent for a while at 50nl and then a decent hand faces agression from a loosepassive...and I get stacked off again. Then a cooler from time to time and then its back to 25nl...where it's exactly the opposite. I need to be very alert on loosepassive agression!!!!! Here are some of my results in HEM:
50NL: 2166 hands, -$238,- -22bb/100
25NL: 2230 hands, +168,- +30bb/100
At 50NL I lost 5 stacks with allins and I won only 2. I hav

Hi guys,
after a lot of hassle with my previous poker site I now have my bankroll safe and I made a deposit at Bodog. Before I started to play again I watched the first episode of Tims new series. Good stuff and excellent to get back into the right mode. For a couple of days I have been playing at 25nl to get back into it. And I have to say, coming from the merge network, bodog is unreal...at 25nl on merge I was usually playing 3 weak tight players, a nit, and one loose/passive. At bodog...well
good times at 50nl

I'm going to spend a family weekend in the country side. No internet, so no poker. But Im bringing a copy of a book called 'the poker blueprint'. I will read all the chapters about postflop play to sharpen the senses.
As you can read in my last post I'm doing well at the tables. Right now I think that I have an edge not only on the fish and nits but also on other weak tight players. A lot of them play very abc on 4-6 tables at once. I only play 2 and that gives me time to spot their wea

Hey guys,
Because of the annoying spambots I was waiting to post an update. In between my poker is doing well. I’m getting more and more confident at 50nl. Sometimes I get a little overconfident and try to take control of the table being in too many pots. I have to stay focused on position and on who my opponent is.
Also I have been looking at my results in holdem manager. Ever since I went to play at playersonly on march 5th, Im having nice scores. I had to do some calculations

Hi guys,
I was doing well untill today I had a really bad session. I had my biggest loss at Playersonly, - $107,-...I'm trying to get through the 50nl stages but this sure isnt helping! My bankroll sits at 1170.
Today I played two tough tabless, made a mistake: I 4bet KK, opponent calls, an A hits, we checked the flop and I couldnt resist to call his push on the turn. It was only 30 to win 100 and I thought he could have QQ and perhaps JJ in his range...but afterwards I think that range is too

The last two weeks I played 1018 hands at 50nl. I wanted to get an idea of my current level and thinking process, so today Im analysing the hands that I thought were difficult. Im not just analysing the hands, but Im sort of analysing my overall thinking.
During the play I hardly expierence problems preflop. Exept for working 4bets into my game that is. But I have a pretty good idea of concepts like position, stealing blinds, 3betting, I take into account opponents pfr'

Hey guys,
I've been backpacking for four weeks. Went to Panama and Costa Rica. Interesting new expierence, especially since I didnt speak any Spanish. Well, I picked up a little bit a long the road. I've visited nature, villages, cities, and did some surfing along the pacific coast. Nice :) It seems that in every town, no matter how small, they have at least one casino. I've visited a few just to check if there was any poker going on. And yes, there is a lot! But...I didnt play. I didnt fa
