starting bankroll: $35

Bankroll at as of today : $77.20

HUSNG yay for those.

God its been a while. But anyways i started with 32 now up to 52 from playing the 1s up to 45 and starting on 2s up to now 52. My volume goal i fail at totally. But i got good reasons :P My ferret. Shes being a little attention who*e :P But oh well as you can imagine ive been crushing it in my small sample. Its going forward. I have been studying a lot of husng again and havent played other than husng.. oh wait yeah i have 5 hands of 2nl shallow plo at ft. where i do play ofcourse. Ill try to get up with the volume i need to get that goal x'ed. I dont have much to tell and today i will not post any hands or graphs. The sample is simply too small and i only have like 1 hand where i think its interesting. the 1s and 2s are to be honest pretty mindless to play.

Oh My God. Heads Up and goals

Im playing at Full Tilt with a bankroll standing at $32

Okay. So ive been wondering how i could make myself better again and even better. I must admit im a bit rusty which may also have caused my -$30 downswing. But but i also blame it on variance as i lost KK vs QK where he hits straight on the river. AK vs AQ. You know just basic stuff. Oh well today i got $6 from playing 6 tables of shallow 5nl tables at FUll Tilt. <-- not a typo :P... I talked with some great friends and have sweated a friend in HUSNG which is my true interest in poker.

I can't help advertising for TAGpoker, an awesome site with some epic people. Go and check it out no matter if you play husngs or not. There are some really great stories and people are friendly. Go check it out at http://www.tagpoker.co.uk/ some really great stuff going on, on that site. You can even get Free HUSNG training for free from Brokestar or just buy it for a one time fee (awesome prices) read more at the site.

But the reason why im writing this is because i have found new motivation to start at HUSNGs again. and since i got $32 on my account i will be starting with $1 husng deepstacked and standard. Depends on what i really want. Hopefully in the future i can get to the bottom line of my sharkscope graph again. But thats just a bonus. Here are some first thought goals i may change them later if i find them not suitable for starting goals or whatever might happen i start out with little just so i know i can achieve it.

Play 100 HUSNG This month , at least 10 a day. []

Achieve a profit []

Work on my game (watch videos etc) []

Focus on one thing (one game format HUSNG) []

Long Awaited

Okay so i know my updates are ultimately slow and such. Ill really try to change this in the upcoming future. and since this is about Poker ill post some poker related stuff :)

Previously ive been playing on Full Tilt only. I took the money out and used it for my Lucifer, Thats my ferret :) I love him. Yay. But here we go i went to a site where they offered me free 50 bucks on some sites for passing a quiz. *see below for links*

So i passed that quiz and got my free 50 bucks. I chose Everest Poker as my new playground. I have tried playing a little bit and up 10 bucks so far approximately. Ill be starting to play a lot more from now on. I know Everest Don't have so much volume at the higher levels. But i find it plenty enough for me to play on the micro stakes. And thats where im going to be at :)

So its Everest Poker and starting capital $50

bankroll management hasn't changed and nor the goals.

UPDATE. Fear not !

I havent posted in a while and im up to 28k hands. I have had a bad month. Kept losing blame it on variance. For the first time down under the line. And in my personal life ive been so busy with everything that i hardly play any poker now. So i had 94$ from being up to 134$ went on a downswing of aprox 40$ in one day. Nothing to blame except me i realized the day after i played my B game. But here is the interesting choice i made. I have decided to withdraw every cent of what i had. And the reason why i did that was to buy a ferret YAY ! I love ferrets and ill be getting my "Lucifer" next week. BUT its not the end. I had free 50$ on Everest Poker. So ill be playing there instead so far im up to 62$ but ill be very slow in getting volume in. Since i am getting a ferret and my wife got pregnant. Wish me luck with both of them hehe.

Later on when i get some money to spare/saved up i will return to FTP since thats my favorite place with the software and so on. I might consider going on PokerStars instead. I don't know yet and to be honest i won't think of it now. Later

So this is my latest update. Sorry to disappoint you ;) But fear not. I will return to FTP for sure at some point. and begin to crush 10nl again :) I have actually been more and more interested in PLO But i have to learn that more and play a heck a lot more before i will decide if thats going to be my new main game.

todays session and months result so far.

today i played a short session but still managed to win $7.92

not much else to report. Except than like 4 days ago i was in red for the month and now i have won more than i did last month so far ($25 total profit last month) as of now ive done $30 total profit this month.

A lot of hands later.

Okay so its been going pretty well I have played a lot of hands since last time. And today ive been rocking it. Graph and everything to follow

Total Bankroll: $122.60

new week new times.

So we are entering a nice week and everything. So here we go. This friday i had a little boost to my bankroll which is always really nice. :) and a necessary thing to a poker player. So i was quite surprised i had generated $10 in rakeback but well, i recieved the $10 this friday which my bankroll was happy with so it jumped from $85 to $95 without me playing a hand :D yay. So these past days i haven't played much more than a few hundred hands per day over 4 - 6 tables which is like only 30 minutes of play or so. But i must say i don't regret playing so little. Ive had loads of fun outside of poker and while ive been playing poker ive been winning a few bucks a day. Combined the last 3 days ive been winning about $8.47 which isn't so bad.

As you can see from my graph. Im beating the game if you can say that for 3.73 BB/100 which i am very happy about. :)

Also for fun a few days ago i tried out some PLO 2nl. I suck badly at it. I tried the shallow tables of 2nl and i doubled up a guy 3 times :P which is almost $2.40 so yeah i won't play around with plo for a while again.

Total Bankroll as of now: $101.06

New times

Hey all, It's been a while since and i have no reason at all not to post earlier. Well my heater and very fast upgoing graph couldn't last forever (I had hoped) but well i hit a downswing. I don't really know if it was just variance or me beginning to make more and more bad calls with TPTK and low sets. When i knew i was beaten by flush or other things. Oh well. Stuff happens in poker.

Heres my graph for the last 5000 hands. I have put in a decent amount of volume. As you may can see. At least i think its heck a lot of volume, hehe. But yeah. Right now it is going up slowly. I hope to keep that going for a little while :) Also on Friday Rakeback i have on my FTP account is up over $10 this week. So this puts me up 10$ almost for free hehe.

You may notice my bankroll haven't moved so much. It is simply because of some mixture of Heads Up Sit n Go's ups and downs and i found $20 in my wallet packed away for no reason so after i had payed all my bills and stuff i decided to add it to my bankroll :) I may do that from time to time.

Total bankroll: $85.27

Todays sessions

So todays session has been keen to me. after 281 hands im up $7.53 .

My biggest hand probably was when i had KK on the hand and i 3bet this guy kinda smallish to lure him in and i had no problem with it. Since his stats were VPIP: 53 PFR 34 something like that. Flop comes JK7 and i actually decide to let him take the lead. It was a risk i was willing to take since ive noticed him to donk bet quite a lot. So i check and he bets 3/4 pot. I just call and on the turn comes a 6. At this point i thought he had a King if he was unlucky enough or a good Jack. He bets 80% of his stack which is a pot bet. I raise him all in immediately and he snap calls with JK top two pair. cooler for him.

Well here is my graphs for today and total graph. Just so you know ill be including both everyday part reason is i will be saving them other place than on my own computer.

Run like god 0n the tables

Total Bankroll: $85.57

Nightly session.

Hey all

This is just a small update. My as you may already have noticed. Nightly session. Though i felt tired i quickly went on to get some water and i was ready to play. I opened 6 tables of 05nl shallow tables.

I cant come up with some interesting hands. If i had to post some it would be almost like a brag. "Hey all i can go all in with the nuts and get a dude to stack off with middle pair" and im not one to brag. But here is my graph of this nightly session. Pretty well it went..

$14.35 won today.

Total Bankroll: $78.04

Little Info

Hey all thanks for reading this blog. So yeah Im playing on Full Tilt and playing as MrAva. Im currently running on the cash tables as i find myself better on cash than my original love Heads Up Sit N Gos.

If you are into Heads Up sit n gos. I suggest you head over to www.tagpoker.co.uk Its an awesome site with lots of free videos. and its run by an awesome guy we call Brokestar. :) Hes the best. Check out his site and come join us in the forums if you are into HUSNG.

But yeah im still playing HUSNGs i just figured after 300 hands. Hey im actually good at this and i would try out cash games like this and so far its been going the right way. But anyways enough talk On to the updates in the near future.

Good luck on the tables and run like god.

MrAva -

Another day at the office

Okay so another day at the office refers to today. Ive been absolutely rocking the 05c shallow tables. Its like you drive down town and people are throwing money at you and showing boobs :P If you see my graph you can see downswings. That is simply because of some stupid calls and the last downswing was TT vs AA for 5$ . Yeah ive analyzed my play and i know what ive done wrong the last sessions/tables ive lost a little. but since i play 4 - 7 tables. i always have managed to come out as a winner ín my sessions

Total bankroll: $73.93

Rolling on cash game not so much on HUSNG.

Hey all its been a while. havent forgotten this blog though but almost :>

So lately ive been playing cash game. Ive found myself sucking at HUSNG even though thats my love in poker. Ive recieved training aswell. That is the best thing ive ever done for my poker. But i guess im not in training as i should maybe my concentration are lacking. I dont know but i promise ill do anything that i can to fix it.

But on to cash game. I deposited $46 last week or so. I have played .01/.02c tables for about 100 hands or so. So i came up with this idea. Shallow tables. yay. I read about them on a few forums and all agree that there are actually more fish playing at the shallow tables than the normal ones. So i thought i had 46 dollars. which is about 11 buyins for .02/.05c at Full Tilt Poker. I tried them out and so far after only 281 hands over 23 sessions ive come out with a $9.41 in plus from the cash tables shallow .02/.05. Ive been playing a lot of freerolls aswell and actually cashed in one of them and some other small sit n gos like matrix (just one) ended at second in matrix pool 1st at one table and 2nd at another table. which gave me plus in what i bought in for.

Total Bankroll : $63.83

Run like god at the tables.
