It's time to walk with my own feet - A journey about small improvements, by theicebergslim.
Hi guys, some of you might already know me from some time before. Today is my birthday, so I decided that this would be a quite simbolic day to start a poker blog again, a way to start to with the right feet, let's say.
I had a poker blog about me trying to get to a specific team, which I did it, however I had to break up with the team because I was broke and I needed to have a job to pay the bills and support myself and my family. So the contract I had with the team is gone and from now on I will spend some time playing with my own money as before.
My Plan:
1. Spend some time retraining myself on my old team strat (which I can apply well most of the time)
2. Deposit money on specific poker apps that are full of whales and have great rakeback deals
3. Play as much as possible on this apps in order move up to at least NL50 until July/24
It might seem a bit audacious for some of you, but for what I saw the skill level doesnt change much below NL100 on this apps, so I think it's a reasonably achievable goal.
But I will only have the bankroll to play there next month, so for now I'm just playing a bit on PS NL2 and making some bucks here and there in order to retrain myself on my old team strat (which I have to admit that works great).
my graph so far:
Wish me luck guys
Update:
Well, a lot of stuff happened since my last post, I will try to summarize everything to not make a really long and boring post for you guys.
1. My team left bodog for good (thank god) and now we are playing on a poker app.
This new poker site that we are playing now is a lot better than bodog, great rakeback deal, less time bank, unlimited number of tables to play simultaneously, in-built hud, the app doesn't crash when you have AA like on bodog, etc...
2. I finally moved up.
After making some adjustments on my game that the coach told me to do on my last db review, my redline finally became upward and my check-raise stat also improved, so today he sent me a message telling me that now I am good to move up and wished me good luck.
It's just NL10 and I will definitely make no money here, so I will spend a lot of time studying the new strat they will send me and try to align my game to this new stake as soon as possible.
Even though that's not a realistic goal, I will try to move up in this first month that I'm starting, if I don't make it for any reason, at least I will get close enough to move up on next month, which is not that bad also. I don't believe this new strat will be much more complex than my current one, so I don't think it's something impossible to happen.
My graph from last month:
Nice work jumping to 10nl. Keep it up and don’t get complacent
