YEAR 2017
First of all – thanks
everybody who took time and looked at my blog – 915 visits and all
over world.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
EVERYBODY!
What did I do and
how did I do?
I can say now –
it was year to get know myself and realise where I am in poker.
Beginning of last year
I did think about myself like reasonable good poker player who has
what it takes to run through 5 levels in Pokerstars and earn bit
money without changing much how I did before. (I did win sometimes I
did loose sometimes – never recording my resaults much,) Wins did
make me happy and some looses did not put me in tilt because it did
not matter. I think most of us has surviving mechanism and we will
find way to believe in ourselfs no matter how good or bad we are.
Not recording results
did help me survive – I just did not know , or I did not want to
know. Life was easy :)
MY MISTAKES
1) No proper
bankroll management and not realistic with my skills
I
did not invest in my business (started with one dollar). I did jump
around Levels – sometimes level 1 (when tired about it jumped Level
3 or 2 – even four in one point). Did not have proper plan and not
been realistic with my skills.
RESULTS:
LEVEL
1 (0.02 cent)
Hands
185 516 Money + 47.72
LEVEL
2 (0.05 cent)
Hands
55 552 Money – 43.82
LEVEL
3 (0.10 cent)
Hands
60 161 Money - 308.61
LEVEL
4 (0.25 cent)
Hands
355 Money + 41.40
Clearly
did not beat any levels - did run around like headless puppy. Almost
every online poker blog or study site will write about it. Did not
believe it– bit stubborn and it did cost me year of my time and
some hundred dollars of my money. This year plan where I do stick no
matter what. This
is my BIBLE for this year:
2) Realistic TIME
needed to beat every level
Poker blogs and study sites not writing about it and I might be wrong
but I will write about my experience this year. In Micro stakes –
specially then You are new in CASH games or beginner in poker – It
is not possible run over levels. First of all You are not able to
beat levels without playing tremendeus amont of hands. EXAMPLE : To
earn $64.50 (needed to move from Level 1 to Level 2)
with WR 8bb per 100 hands (every 100 hand You will play with 0.02ents
games You will win avarage 0.16 cents). You will need play at least
40 000 hands +. WOW!!!! ( 40 000 /100 x 0.16) = $64.00 Keep in mind
this is very good win rate and not managable at the beginning in
constant basis. How long it will take to play 40 000 hand with 1,2,3
or even 4 tables? Do Your math and be realistic how many tables You
are able play with win rate 8/100. IT TAKES TIME AND COMMITMENT
3)
TILT
Now I can say – it happens with You for sure. Variance of poker and
because You must play so
many hands to beat each level. Nobody can win only
if they will play so many hands and as none experienced player it
will hit You hard. It took me months to get over myself. (I might not
been over Yet). Breaking Yourself is hardest thing to do and loosing
hands again and again and again... will put You against challenge You
will not forget if You will get through it. Prepeare Youself =
meditations, well spent time of the tables – whatever it will take
help to recover ASAP.
4)
STUDY
Think what to study and how much
to study. My experience – I did good at the beginning of the year –
not much over thinking. Level 1 (where You should be pretty long
time) You will not need much. Players are mostly relaxed and not
taking things too seriously – mostly casual players taking time of
their busy life – like I was at the time. I played similar game
with similar players (winning) till = I wanted to WIN.
Studying and worrying about unnessesary things like red
line aggression, bluffing etc.
ect You should play and study at first POST
FLOP game. Reason =
most hands are going showdown at least flop – nobody worried about
couple cents or loosing one hand. If you will beat fellow players at
flop – You are giving Yourself good change to BEAT
FIRST LEVEL :)
GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY AND WISH
(NEW) ME GOOD LUCK FOR YEAR 2018 !!
