The time has come, i finally bought my self Pokertracker and PokerAce Hud
i figured what the hell i might aswell get some use out of it seeing i wanna multi table more and more nowdays
But (there's always a but hehe) i already found the first problem: ME!
me and my brain are really worthless at this point after the past 4 days i have been partying
i only live in a small town but even so my town has these 4 days once a year called Doesburg inside out and the action is just crazy we got bands standing outside the pub and the whole street is packed, i mean PACKED!! there are like 300 people there wich doesnt sound like much but try to fill up a small space between a pub and the stage wich is like - like i said my brain aint working so prob gonna be totally off - 20 meters, yeah i think 20 by 20 or something either way you get my point it was crowded
and the beer tasted good and so did the woman.
Sooo anyway back on topic here
Acehud is gonna take a few minutes to configure but Pokertracker is gonna be crap
i suck at pokertracker so im gonna have to see what everything means and where i can find the important information i want.
gonna get some more sleep now to reboot my braincapacitiy ;) lol

Distraction
Well after a long wait i finally got my PSP last week (Playstation Portable) and man what a machine :) the graphics look so good and the games are just awesome
playing some GTA Vice City Stories now and Tekken Dark Ressurection now those are some kick ass games.
Also now that my boss doesnt have too much work for me for couple of weeks im practicly relying on Poker as my income wich is pretty patethic because i cant live on poker yet lol good thing i still live at home.
But being at home gives me a good oppertunity to pick up my accounting study again wich has been laying around without getting attention.
Then there's another thing, i read this interview on liquidpoker about rekrul wich was very nice to read for poker but also brought up Starcraft wich he used to play (wich i used to play also) so heck i found out i still have it on my computer and decided to play a few games of that aswell.
So all in all pretty much bad for poker however im still very well motivated to keep learning and studieing poker and my game so i havnt been sitting still.
I think most important thing for me now is finding a solid game i mean i like loose aggressive but i find that i can be more succesfull over a long term in finding a middle road between loose aggressive and tight aggressive wich is great i think seeing its another big step in being able to build up youre bankroll and moving up in limits.
Well i gotta go back to my study
cya later

1st Long Cashgame Session
Last night i had my first long during cashgame session in order to challange myself to play good on a long stretch and also to see and play more hands to grow faster
i started at about 22:30 GMT and ended at 05:30
I cant say that i made alott of cash during this 7 hour session wich seems weird
but it shure gave me an explosion of knowledge about my own game and about others
during this session i started playing just tight then half way tru i got little steamed up and lost half my profit then in the last 2 hours i played my "A" game
loose aggressive in a profitable way making plays understanding when i have FE
i was completely card dead during that 2 hour strecht
i got 72o like 7 times and 72s 3 times
i dont think i saw one pair higher then 9s and Ax higher then A9
luckly that style i was playing didnt need me to get those premium hands as i was making moves with complete garbage all over the place
and when i spiked a set with 96o i got payed good for it
This night really made me understand what my "A" game really is and what i should be looking for when im sitting down at a table
i really enjoyed this long session and i recommend you try it aswell when you have the time
besides making money youre learning alott about youre game
Also there's something nice about going to bed when the sun just came up
anyway i just got up at 12:30 and cant wait to start playing again but first gotta get a shower and some breakfast.

Mansion 100k GTD
Yesterday my bankroll got up to the point where i told myself i could play a $10 satalite to the 100k guaranteed on Mansion
and seeing i was playing so well all day long i wanted to play it that night
unfortunantly there was only 1 satalite left as the 100k started in 90 minutes
after doubting a little while i just said "screw it" lets play
i was doubting because it was a turbo
blinds going up every 4 minutes and can become a total crapshoot around the FT
Very quickly i worked my stack up to around 2300 (1500 starting)
then i got AJs and figured this was my first good hand to play a big pot with
i raised to 650 from MP (blinds 100/200 already)
SB and BB both call flop comes Kxx and i have to fold to the all in shove as i dont want to commit myself with just A hi
few pots later im down to 1k as i get AQo in the CO without hesitation i shove it in and again getting 2 callers showing 55 and 77 however a Q on the flop gives me the win and im up to around 3500
other then that i just had alott of luck with some other hands like KJ vs Ax or Kx vs Ax for about 4 times i geuss the only hand i saw a flop on without having all my chips in was when i got K3s spades on the button UTG mini raises to 400 MP3 calls i call SB folds and the BB goes all in for 700
everybody makes the call and the flop comes A33 2 diamonds UTG instantly shoves it in for about 3k MP folds and i make the easy call and win a big pot against A7
With about 20 players left i had a solid top 3 chipstack wich i didnt gave away anymore
top 6 paid a ticket and without any coinflips i made the ticket
Then half hour after that i played my very first 100k Guaranteed on Mansion
and i had a great feeling about it as my first hand showed AA
MP3 raises to 70 (10/20 blinds) i make it 250 and the BB shoves and i double against his AK
sadly tho i go pretty much card dead make a very nice fold against TT
and overplay my pair of 6s on 5QQ and am officialy shortstacked
normally im pretty good at picking spots to get back up but this time my A4s ran into Aces and im out at 366 out 667 entrants
so all and all im happy i made the ticket and even tho i busted out early and picked a wrong spot i played fairly well and looking forward to my next 100k hoping to make a nice cash
well back to the cash tables for now

Down Swing Central
yup its time
i got my first mansion down swing
just finding myself playing marvelous and just end up losing all the good hands
when i got an overpair somebody made a set or FH
when i got a big overpair somebody shows aces
just now i played my hand IMO pretty good except the river might be discussable
i get aces on the CO Full Ring guy mini raises from UTG+2 i reraise his 0,40 to 0,75 blinds fold and utg calls
pot now has 1,80 villian bets out 0,60 on a QJ4 rainbow board
and i decide to slowplay him as my only danger is KT and QJ (wich im just losing my money to) so i just call
turn comes a harmless 2nd diamond deuce he checks and i decide to check behind to get a nice bet out of him on the river and to let him think im drawing
river is a diamond A now im not concenered about him completing his flush so my only real worry would be KT and QJ as i said be4 QJ im just paying off but i have a set now so only problem is KT he bets out 2,85 in the $3 pot and here is the discussable part IMO
i raised him all in for like another $4,50 he calls and shows KT
now i just wanted to get value out of my set of aces and i dont think i could of layed it down here
but calling alone might have been better
but still many times this could still be QJ or KQ or AQ and im getting value out of it
but these kind of hands i just keep losing on even when im satisfied by how the way i played it i end up having the 2nd best hand
so lets just hope this down swing ends soon because else i can say goodbye to my freshly build up bankroll at Mansion hehe :)
will keep you updated

Mansion Mission
so thanks to Pokernews.nl i heard about this pokerroom called Mansion Poker
read some reviews and decided to give it a quick look
and also i heard about the 100k GTD so another reason to play there
so i deposited just the very small amount of 10 Euro putting half the money at risc right away as i sat down at the minimum cash game 20NL and found out the skill level was pretty sweet
no fighting to contain youre frustration against the endless donks trowing it all in with 72o all day like on pokerstars minumum cash table
but also no real sharks either as the tables arent very LAG either playing little loose aggressive there really works out fine
as 3 days later i worked my money up to 70 euro wich is around $90 (10 euro being $13)
to be on topic to the title the mission is:
to try and create a nice bankroll management i decided to go for the sats for the 100 GTD
as reward of reaching my 1st goal wich is $100 bankroll (wich is like only $10 more) im allowed to play 1 satalite to the 100k if i win a ticket im playing it if im not cashing i gotta work my bankroll up to the previous target ($100) plus an extra $33 (25 euro) then the same reward of playing 1 sat stays
this goes up untill i either cash in the 100k or my bankroll is up at $250 then im changing the mission
so wish me luck hope to have a nice cash to talk about soon
cheers.

flop comes 4J8 r
villian bets 0,08 i raise to 0,24 he reraises to 0,98 i think about it little while figuring JJ is just bad luck and decide to go for it and push all in for the rest of my $4 wich he calls

Learning new things
This last week ive been learning alott of new things by reading alott of stuff there is on the internet
all the strategy posts i can find on p5s 2+2 pokernews reading blogs from online ranked players
LAGs and TAGs
just eagerly trying to get my game up
as i where doing this i stumbeled on to some hand histories from BeLoWaBoVe, you know the super aggressive dude with the amazing memory ;)
i really enjoyed reading those and it was amazing how he memorized every detail
and his logic into making moves and playing the table is just incredible
after reading these i suggested myself id try this aggressive style again (ive tried it be4)
Like every other time ive tried this aggressive style i was really enjoying myself
people folding my bluffs when i knew they where weak
calling me down when i got the nuts even putting me all in be4 i could even make a bet lol
"why dont you keep playing this style ?"
well the problem is that my stack swings are enormous because im not capable of reading every hand correctly or making the right move at some parts just yet
Anyway back to the trying part
i signed up for a $2,20 6 max MTT (seeing i like shorthanded and its easy for being aggressive IMO)
and man what a tourney that was
i laughed my ass off even when i lost because i knew i was making a move that is +EV and will work most times
there was about 800+ entrants and as we where down to 320 or something i was in the CHIPLEAD!!
and just at that point i loved it i was playing very nice poker and everything just fell right into place
then we came down to 150 or so (108 payed) and i started to get swings i figure this is where my leak was and i had to switch to tight aggressive here or at least somewhat tighter
as i went down to 73th out of 120 and back up to 4th back down to 20th back up to 5th and so on then finally the keyhand for me i think showed up with about 30 players remaining
villian just moved in here about 4 orbits ago
My Stack: 48k
Villian : 53k
blinds 800/1600 75A
im in the BB with 36s spades villain is 2 to my left and raises to 3200
wich i call
flop comes 32K rainbow 1 spade
i check villian bets 6400 (overbetting the pot)
at that point i decided i had a set and raised 14400 to 20800
on wich villian pushes me all in
i still had 24k or so behind
and i really didnt knew what too make of it i figured he couldnt repop me when i got half my stack in without having something
i folded wich seemed weak because i had half my stack in
afterwords im thinking i should of raised bigger so he didnt have FE or i just should of folded on the flop and wait for a better spot but then again i was playing aggressive style and stood still am standing behind that decision to raise because i feel i can really make people fold the best hand there
later on i busted out at 24th loosing my JJ vs AQ i started railing the villian from the 36s a bit
and found out he called down and raised more hands with middle pair or a draw
wich concluded for me i just made the right move against the wrong type of player
this morning i woke up thinking about the tourney feeling content about my play and bit bummed out i didnt made that FT because i was just running good
oh well another lesson learned and got a new gear to play with now so hope to make some FT's soon

Pokerroom
So, recently a friend invited me to Pokerroom and it sounded fun and easy to play there so i went ahead and deposited a smallish amount just to check it out
first thing i noticed was the 50% deposit bonus wich needed 80 player points (rake points)
and a refer-a-friend bonus for $50 needing 150 points
wich was impressivly easy to do after just 3 days ive cleared out the deposit bonus
and made a good $80 on the 0,25/0,25 tables
wich to me was amazing, because i suck at ring games
and yeah it took me a hour or so to get adjusted to the fish level of players because there are really alott of em there
offcourse after grinding at the ringgames for few hours i wanted to check the tourneys
they are pretty nice altho the pay-out structure isnt that great compared to Pokerstars IMO
but still theyre fine
so started doing some SnG's and here there where alott of fishes aswell
just playing 2 small SnG's i made up to $70
so im gonna keep grinding here
fogetting about pokerstars for a while (only gonna play some regular freezeouts and the $3 rebuy) and once i get a nice bankroll here im gonna keep climbing up
nothing much more to mention other then this great new site im playing at nothing much really happend
so till next time...

$3,30+R 10k Guaranteed
so again like monday i registered in the $3,30+R 10k Guaranteed
along with some other guys from Pokernews.nl we started a sidebet for another $3 each for whoever got the deepest well i will already let you know that i came in 2nd
just like monday i played very well and was very satisfied about my game (getting consitancy here) unfortunantly i got moved to different tables again in the 4th hour for like 5 times wich is really anoying when you like to assemble reads on certain people
anyway tourney started out great unlike the other time i managed to play it just with my $3 buy in and an extra $3 for the add-on, yeah just $6 (last time 1 rebuy and total of $9).
The first hour started pretty easy and made my first double up with AQoff on the button everybody folds to the HiJack who raises to 140 (blinds 10/20) I call SB calls and BB folds
flop comes 42J rainbow SB checks and HiJack makes a bets half the pot and i push he calls turns over KJs turn comes a Q and river is a blank
some guys like to push/fold everything they like Preflop in the rebuy and they usually end up rebuying 5-8 times
seeing as i know im not aggressive enough…yet to make it to the final table i wanna invest as less as possible because i know if i can make just a nice average stack with minimal buy in i can still make some nice cash.
Then next i get 4A of spades in the SB blinds are 25/50 UTG – UTG+1 – MP2 and button calls i complete and BB checks
flop comes 3h2h9s so now i got a wheel straightdraw and a backdoor flushdraw everybody checks to MP2 who bets
then 4 mins for the end of the rebuy period i get the hand everybody wants during rebuy Pocket Rockets! in the CO blinds 50/100 2 limps i raise to 500 and get 3 calls
flop 5Q9 rainbow shorty pushes for 1000 and MP with 4500 also pushes I ofcourse call
A3off and 9Joff is what im facing and take it down 15k into the 2nd hour
2nd hour doesn’t give me much action
As we go in to 3th hour im at 17k once im dropped down to 11k I finally get a hand AKoff
blinds are 600/1200 + antes 2 limps and the blinds being well so tight they could be on sit out
so i push getting 1 call by QK as i double up and am at 27k nothing much happens after that
i couldn’t record after 3th hour because of lags but i can tell you nothing much happened as i got in the money at 155th place i pushed all in with A9s from UTG figuring i need a coinflip to make it deeper unfortunately im up against AQ and bust out
still another cash and 2 out of 2 now in the $3+R so im going good

Start of my own Blog
Hi, my name is Sven
i started playing poker for a little more then a year ago
started like most people did just playing a little bit not thinking about hands or w/e
just playing on instincts
had a few wins and losses like a normal player would have on the low lvl SnGs
and everytime after a nice run of wins i kept losing my bankroll in the downswing after.
Now a year later
reading posting and just checking out sites like 2+2, pokernews, pocketfives and pokerxfactor
ive been learning alott about my own play and about the theoratical side of poker
but sadly i realize that i am way far from being a good winning player
i recently finished Harrington on Hold em vol 1
and started on vol 2
last monday i had a great result- (for my doing)- i played some great poker i felt good and most things felt right only made a mistake or 2 and finished 69th in the 3+R on pokerstars good for $47
even tho knowing i could of made it further if i had made a certain call i am very satisfied by my performance
and the next day again a small tourney made by a guy on pokernews
only 32 entrees for $5 but still started out good and making the FT
just ended out the money tho noticed i was tired and made a huge mistake by letting my ego play instead of my mind
and ending pushing on a flush draw against pocket 8s which held up.
By thinking about these results and how i played these 2 days i noticed im improving in a very good way
starting to loose less on marginal hands
starting to win more on my monsters
just really thinking correctly about every situation
and you are probably thinking why does this mirco player loser make a blog its totally not intresting ?
well if its not for you then lets hope its for somebody else :)
at least its for me
a good way to see myself develop and for others to see me develop
hope to post some great stories and to develop a classic from Rags to Riches Blog
thanks for reading.
