Break – week 4

Because Poker Stars doesn’t let me play on EU site from Italy IP (where i am currently working) anymore, i am forced to take a break, until i return in my country from where i can play easily.

Unfortunately i don’t know when this will happen, and until then i won’t have anything else to post.

I am really disappointed of the new laws regarding online poker and i really think that this shows there is no longer internet freedom in EU.

Hopefully this won’t end here, and i’ll be coming back soon with new posts.

Week 3

With a small delay, here are the results on the week 10-16 Nov 2014:

Net won=29.86$

VPP 750 bonus=10$

Bankroll=170.85+29.86+10=210.71$

Conclusions:

1) In the first part of the week things went really wrong and i had a loss.

2) I tried a shot at 0.10/0.25 just to gather 5 VPP faster (i was close to the bonus) and things got very lucky, ending up with a nice 40$ profit in only 7 minutes which saved the week.

3) I will keep on going at 0.02/0.05 as planned and play a little bit more tight.

Week 2

This week (3 Nov – 9 Nov 2014) wasn’t so good as i was expecting, with just a small profit of 5.30$.

Also i won only 0.55$ at an all-in shootout (got the ticket by completing mission week)

The results are:

So the bankroll is: 165+5.30+0.55=170.85$ (34 BB).

Conclusions:

1) Still only 8.5 h of play, proving that my goal of 20 h per week is almost impossible to reach because of my day job. In the weekend i can’t just play 10 h because it’s way to much for me to keep focus. So i think i will try to play at least 10 hours next week.

2) Some of the regular players began to notice me, making me harder to win big with good hands.

3) Some of the players with low experience noticed some bluffs, and called on me with marginal hands and i will try to exploit that next week.

4) I had some bad beats on the river and was a little bit tilted afterwards (i have to work on that).

5) I still don’t have enough hands to use HM 2 HUD, but hopefully after next week this will change.

Overall i am looking at the positive side that at least i was on profit, although a small one.

P.S. : At the PCA satellite i got kicked out with KK vs AA (frustrating but it happens).

Keep in touch until next Monday with updates on the 3’rd week.

Week 1

This are my results from the first week of zoom play (27 Oct – 2 Nov 2014):

Net winnings=+25.46$

Add on=+50$ (i had to make an add on in order to grab a ticket to a PCA qualifier which was a very good deal). I still didn’t play on that PCA qualifier but i’ll come back with the news about it.

I transferred some to another account=-10.46 $.

Final results bankroll=100+25.46+50-10.46=165$.

Below you will also see the results taken from HM2.

As a conclusion, i played only close to 8 h, which is a lot less than i wanted to (this is because in the weekend i couldn’t play at all). Also the last session was a mess, but i know that i played much to boldly than i should have (because of the good results in my first 3 sessions). Overall a good profit and now with the add on i am more or less in bankroll (33 buy-in).

I’ll come back with the results from the next week.
