So I have big news: my exams are finnaly over from saturday and so on I am back to playing poker. I had to redo one exam. It was divided in an oral exam and a written one. The written was normal not super. But the oral exam was super... My question was: "discuss the capital increase and how to book it with BE GAAP accounting standards" For me a good question :D After 10 minutes of talking and also not fully responded to the question my prof looked at his watch and said: "OK, you can stop, I see you know it very good" so up to my master year.

For the poker I only played as little as 1000 hands and I am +200$ nothing special but I am very satifsied of my game I played. I am also using a trial version of holdem manager. Damn at mine opinion it is for the moment much better then pokertracker. So I am going to buy it and switch from pokertracker to holdem manager.

That said, I keep you informed with more screenshots of my sessions and some hands in the next post. Hopefully I play lots of hands and get a nice profit

Kind regards,

Don Dav1to

After my super upswing the cards are nasty to me

3 buyins down on heads up.

The first one was against a very good player who I had a very interessting chat with afterwards and will help me improve my game and we discussed the hands played. Afterwards we played a new session just for discussion the new hands. But how good he is as person, how bad the money went in. approximately one buyin down, mainly with a set over set case.

The second buyin was a setup. I raised 56s from the button and my opponent called flop came 789dd. I wanted the money in as fast as possible because there are many bad cards for me (T, J, a diamond) he bet out I reraised he pushed and so the cards flipped. and he has the nut straight JT. ik think I didn't misplayed the hand but correct me if I am wrong and what would be a better line. I figured out he will pay me off with any set and also flushdraw with overs and T9 and maybe a slowplayed overpair.

The third one was a classic suckout. preflop allin me with KK he QQ and a Q on the flop. Standard no more words needs to be said.

For the moment I cashed out to fully focus myself on my exams. I has to redo one exam, finacial analysis and reporting, damn sure its as boring as it sounds!!! WIth my computer in front of me while studying the temptation is big, so cashing out is the safest approach to succes on my exam. My exam is the 20th of august till then no more pokerplaying for me...

Please wish me skill, not luck... thumbs up

HU is my game for the moment

Yesterday I had my sickest day ever net profit of 997$ Therefore I played 3 hours 1table HU and 2 tables 6max. But most of the profit came from HU

Today I could not get action on 100NL so I played some 200NL

And I hit a very sexy flop!!! take a look!

Nice!

So in the previous post I said that my stats of heads up vpip and pfr were somewhat odd. Now i got the problem PT imports headsup and 6max the same. So i must adjust some things in my PT. ...

Hey readers

On my vacation as talked earlier I saw a lot of cardrunner videos, especially the headsup videos. Because I never played heads up before and I thaugt it will make my 6max game a lot better. But damn!! I HU!!! the direct action, the flow of the game, more interaction. Not some standard lines against standard opponents, because on 100NL there are so many players that standard ABC poker is enough to play winning poker.

Here are my stats for my first 2000 HU hands

Feel free to comment my stats and which stats you like (except the green numbers offcourse ) BUT more important which stats you don't like! So we can discuss and I'll learn something from it...

From the video's I learned that the most HU authors have a vpip from aprox 50 and pfr from aprox 45. Mine isn't close. But in the beginning I was less aggresive preflop. the last 1000 hands i'm coming close to those stats.

I'm also posting my biggest pot that I ever played HU (and luckily won)

Hey!

I'm just back from my holiday. It has taken a week longer then expected. Me and some friends were not in the mood to go home after the beautifull holiday in lloret de mar (spain). So we decided to stay a little longer in the cote d'azur in France. In a place called Cap d'agde.

LLoret was FUN! nice parties, hot weather, hot ..., hot ..., hot ...

Cap d'agde was a little bit better for my health . It was a long time agoo that I slept for more then 4-5 hours a night. But the nightlife in Cap d'agde is also damn wild, only more extravagant and much much more expensive. Entrance 25a‚¬ (including 1 drink), Wodka-RedBull 20a‚¬ Luckily for my bankroll I rather drink beer then cocktails

When I have some of the wild funny pics on my computer I definetly post them here CHECK IT OUT THEN!!!

OK back to the poker stuff. Sometimes i was able to find connection with my laptop. So I think I played for 5 hours of poker on 2tables 100NL and made a nice profit of 500$. I also had downloaded a lot of the cardrunners video's on my laptop and learned a lot from it... especially from the heads-up parts!!! I learned I was offen to aggresive, and must keep my spots of agression more carefully and better timed. I learned also a lot more of bord textures and hand ranges. By my opinion damn you cole south you play HOT. Still impressed of some nice hands and definitely nice calls!!!

So for the further of the month I have one exam I have to do back, simply because I S*** at Accounting. My days will be balanced by working out, studying and playing poker. My girlfriend is also coming back the 10th so I will be having less time to play...

But my goal is to play at least for one hour a day but max 3 hours. exercising max 2 hours a day and studying 5 hours a day. Please all thumbs up for my exam the 18th of august

hey welcome on my cardrunners blog!

First a few things about myself. I am 24 years old and in my last year of economics. I am currently playing 50NL an allready taken some shots on 100NL. I play online poker for a month or 4. I also followed strict bankroll manangement to build up my roll!

Here are my stats of the last 4 months of online poker. there are a bunch of hand missing because I play mostly on pacific and my handgrabber often crashes

I joined cardrunners to improve my play and I also enjoy to watch and learn from the different angles people approach specific spots in the game. In a day I leave for Spain on a holliday so i am downloading a lot of the good material so i can watch them on the ride and also in spain to relax in the shadow when i'm not partying and its to hot to swim or sit in the sun...!

So Hopefully I comeback as a better player !!!
