My name is Kenny, and I am 19 years old. I go to one of the colleges on the Fenway, MCPHS. I am a 2nd year trying to become a pharmacist.
But who cares about that until you know about my poker skills right? I'll start off by saying that I play on FTP under the name aopoki. I play HU regularly at .5/1 and as of right now I'm avoiding people who I think are good. I moved up 2 weeks ago after grinding & basically pwning everyone at 25c/50c of HU for 2 months.
During this stretch I had at so many upswings, along with downswings. I had as big as a 23 buy in downswing (-$1200!). That was not mentally pleasing. So thankful that I had a huge upswing after that or else I would have probably permanately switch back to 6max (what I have been doing before HU). Which is not fun as it takes a lot of time to game select, while when playing HU, I feel like I have an edge against most opponents.
The main reasons why I am creating a blog is to make myself a better player overall & to keep me mentally check. I can do this by giving daily results about what I think of my play. This will help with me with not going on super tilt, as I have a big history of that. Maybe I'll talk about this if I find nothing to talk about, but basically I have a history of playing way over my head (one time I played one hand of $100/$200 with a short stack of ~$5K!). Although that hasn't happen since summer time, I would still like to keep me mentally check for the stakes I play at so I would have less chance of having a big downswing.
These might be selfish reasons of creating a blog, but I'm sure many people are like me. That's not to say I'm selfish as i think I am a very reasonable person & many times a generous person.
Well that should be a decent introduction. Hopefully this blog would be a fun & interesting read. I will be posting updates about my recent plays & also when I have time, I will be making a post about how I got to where I am today as I find it interesting & hopefully inspiring. I'll end by posting up a hand I played yesterday. It was the biggest pot I ever won in term of big blinds.
Things to note about that hand. It was a 753BB POT! I played it horribly. I should start by betting the flop, as we are super deep enough to stand a raise. I like my turn over bet, but when he c/doubled my over bet, I should've 3b him to $156 or something to give him room to shove hands like JJ,QQ & other junk as he was the type of player to do so.
