Ain't no party like a DKB party
Greetings Everyone,
Plan is simple but hard to achieve 10k€ in the bank+bankroll and ~+2k$ income/monthly from poker.
After unexpected success in my first blog, where I succeed in making 1k$ profit in a month playing 25nl.
Wanted to continue keep myself accountable and have a good place for reflection.
In this blog I will be posting:
-Weekly updates (Result Graph,Sessions,RB,Interesting HH)
-Weekly goals and plans (upfront)
-Monthly updates
-Monthly goals and plans (upfront)
About me, I'm 26 year old male from Latvian and currently working full-time job(15days a month, 12h shifts). For now I'm playing 25nl PartyPoker Regular/Zoom tables and have a rakeback ~25%. In future might look into other options but for now I'm satisfied with 25nl pool of PartyPoker. Will be using aggressive bankroll management 20bi up with 2bi shots.
P.S. Will not end this blog until I achieve my goal, for how ever long it takes.
Thanks for reading.
Any feedback about how I played or thinks I could do better is much appreciated.
Week 34 Recap
Greetings,
Fine Results, very low volume due to being sick and choosing live over online during weekend. 200nl was fun this week but I'm still overly emotional playing it (adrenaline junkie). Still bad at Live cash and having hard time adjusting, even though we played DC regular nlhe or weird Super holdem (3 cards, can use 0-2 of your cards, NLHE rules).
Monday -Good productive day. Gym / blog / study / 2 session / sleep on time.
Tuesday - Also very productive day. Similar to Monday besides blog writing.
Wednesday - Skipped gym to go out to park/city center with GF. Played one session when I came back but could not keep my focus as I felt sick.
Thursday - Woke up sick, studied decent amount and played 0 poker.
Friday - Did not go to gym as I still felt semi-sick. Studied some in the morning and played 3 sessions (3rd ended early as I could not focus)
Saturday - Wasted morning doing noting (feeling less sick), played one session before going to 1/1€ which was fun but I lost 200€. game felt good as we wehre watching Usky vs Fury in the background.
Sunday - Decided to take a day off
For this following week won't plan anything big with poker as going out with GF on Monday, celebrating Xmas at parents house, celebrating Birthday at 27 of December.

Some interesting hands:
Spoiler
Biggest Win/Bluff-Catch:
HH1: Vs Aggro Fish, have many notes and reads vs him, like him being capable of turning pairs into bluffs and being wide preflop/postflop.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Biggest Loss/Unlucky:
HH2: Vs Reg, not like super happy spot but still think I beat value so called quick.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Biggest Bluff:
HH3: Vs Aggro-Reg, I think nice river to bluff when fd comes in and I still can value bet set that being said it is 3B OTF but did think this guy is overly aggressive from hands that I saw before this one. Also interesting point, is he donking flushes OTR... Either way I don't remember last time I made it to the river vs reg in 3B flop spot.
Spoiler
Luckiest:
HH4: vs Fish, he even tanked OTR vs my all-in. When only fish tanks OTR with 2nd nuts you know this is not a good table to be at.

More Bluff-Catching:
HH5: Vs Loose Aggro Reg, wrong read.

Biggest Win:
HH1: Vs Reg, got it in with 51%.

Spoiler
Biggest Loss:
HH2: Vs Reg, One of the rare guys that runs it once.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Luckiest:
HH3: Vs Aggro Fish, felt as he does not have many flushes because he isolated other fish but was wrong.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Unluckiest:
HH4: Vs Fish, Happens.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Biggest Bluff:
HH5: Vs Reg, if he calls offsuit KK then rather not make moves like this vs this guy. Vs pot bet might not be the best idea anyways.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Nice run-out:
HH6: Vs Fish, imo fish sizes there hands more honest and for that reason I think I have the best hand almost always and at the same time I want to play for stacks, great river.
Spoiler
Spoiler
Biggest Fold:
HH7: Vs Reg, somewhat passive Reg, not sure about river sizing. Preflop could Fold, Open/Fold, Open/Call.
Spoiler
Funny Hand:
HH8: Vs Whale, I call this play desperation bluff.
