Namish Blog (2)
POST 1
On the 7th of February I restarted a Blog on PokerStrategy, but I can't upload photos there and I don't think that a Blog without any pictures makes much sense. So I decided to move it here.
"In January of 2022 I started playing poker. Online MTTs. And it has been a quite successful journey. From the very first moment that I knew poker; I started with it as my profession. There was no chance for failure. So, with zero knowledge and playing 0,25€ MTTs I started my journey.
That first year, 2022, I ended up +34.016,90€ euros playing mostly on PartyPoker.es (Spanish and French people only) and GGPoker.com a few months that I moved to Andorra to play .com environment.
Then 2023, the next year, was also a good year but a bit of a failure for me. +54.790,74€ euros playing GGPoker.com
And the last year, 2024, was my best and worst year. +133.350,00€ euros but getting completely robbed and scammed by a poker player + agent. Everything has been reported, and I hope the trial will be soon. So here I am now, completely broke until the trial. If they end up not paying me all the robbed money, I'll expose everything when it's the correct time to do it. For the moment, I'll just wait to the trial.
(When I started playing poker, I created a Blog here in TwoPlusTwo, but I abandoned it quite soon seeing that a nobody playing microstakes was not an interesting topic. So, now I'll give it a second chance.)
After what happened to me, I've been very very unmotivated with poker and the MTTs. Last year I went on a poker trip to play live poker cash games, and I get to know other poker games besides NLHE. After a few months grinding live cash games I noticed that probably my game and my skills were better for a more intuitive or "not solver" games. A game where the intelligence is much more important. Where there aren't solvers to study so it's just each player with his intuition and innate talent. So, (at least until they give me my money back, but I'm confident that I'll crush it from the very bottom to the top and that I won't move back to MTTs) I decided to play to most unsolved game where I can put a good volume of play, 6 Card PLO. I'll start grinding in a few days from the smallest stake and I'm 100% sure that I'll crush it.
Join the blog if you want to see some crazy **** here!

That was the first post of the blog.
It's been 11 days from that post, so here it goes the first update!
The first impressions with the 6 Card PLO are great. I've played my first 9 days (plus 2 days off) and it went great. I'm playing exclusively $0,01/$0,02 6 Card PLO, fighting for the daily leaderboard rakeback and learning the game better day to day.
RESULTS:
The first screenshot is the GG Pokercraft graph. The second one is my manual tracker of winnings, rake etc.
The first thing that is shocking to me, is that I'm just paying 0.46bb/100 of rake after the rakeback. Even if my Fish Buffet PVI is i think 0,1 because as I posted in my intro post, I was a big winner.
The second shocking thing is the variance. I'm running 3,663.5 blinds over EV in just 16,427 hands! Running god mode!
And the third shocking thing is the winrate. I'm winning at 27.11 EVbb/100 after rake+RB. Which adding to the god mode run is 49.41bb/100 of real $.
Winning 81 buy ins in just 9 days feels kinda crazy. We will see if I can manage to maintain minimum that 27EVbb/100. Because my plan is to continue crushing those PLO streets with no merci!
To finish:
BIGGEST POT: (1,443.5bb pot vs a 100% VPIP fish)
BANKROLL: ( I deposited $56.20 on the February 7th and now I have $218.54 ) 56,20 + the 162.34 winnings = $218.54
Good luck on the tables to everyone!

Another 10 days on the books. 9 playing days and 1 resting day. And the results keep improving!
I also noticed that my Pokercraft was calculating wrong my EV, and after chatting with GGPoker Help on email, they also noticed that the EV was wrong. In every multiway all-in situation, it's always showing less EV than it should, no matter if I win or lose the hand. So I downloaded DriveHUD to be able to know my real EV. And the truth is that I'm running super-hot, but not as hot as Pokercraft is showing.
And about the rakeback, it's crazy. I'm receiving more than 100% rakeback even having the Fish Buffet PVI super low. Just grinding the leaderboards and the and a couple ThanksGG Flipout min cash.
That's the 6 card PLO graph:
Tht's the 5 card PLO graph: (I saw a few guys going all in blind every hand so I joined the table. Being super lucky and in the second hand winning a 5 way all in preflop before they sit out)
And the total graph:
And the pre rakeback results on DriveHUD:
The winnings are +$348.10 after rake and rakeback and +$255.89 of EV. Which is 45.12bb/100 and 33.17EVbb/100. And I feel like I can really improve it a little bit. I'm still learning the game and the equities.
Here are the full detailed results:
Let's continue crushing it! And let's improve that 33EVbb/100! I
To finish,
BIGGEST POT
BANKROLL (I deposited $56.20 on Feb 7)
Good luck to everyone, I hope I can come back on another 10 days with an improved win rates and seeking the move up the stakes!

With a lot of CRAZINESS, I beat the $0.01/$0.02 stakes in 23 days and a 53bb/100 win rate. I'm super happy with it!
The last session was incredibly crazy. I ended up with 10,000 blinds in a max 100bb buy in table!!! I've never seen such a stack; did you ever see it?
I had the leave the table because I was falling asleep. The session ended at 6-7am. But there was the biggest whale I have ever seen on a poker table.
So, these are the overall results of the $0.01/$0.02 stakes:
- 6 card PLO graph:
- 5 card PLO graph:
- Full graph:
As always, the EV is still calculated wrong in my Pokercraft. Here are the results pre rake back with the correct EV difference:
The win rate ended up being 53bb/100 and 50EVbb/100 after rake and rake back. I only paid 0.86bb/100 in rake after the rake back!!!
Here is the full detailed info:
So today I`m starting the $0.02/$0.05 stakes, being 100% sure that I'll also crush the stake!

Another 9 days in the book, and another stake beat! It was quick, continuing with the crazy win rate. I beat the stake at 42bb/100 and 45EVbb/100 after rake and rake back in 20,197 hands. It's been 32 days of work since I started this..."forced restart" of my poker career, and I'm extremely happy of how is it going + how I'm improving my game.
Here is the 6 card PLO $0.02/$0.05 graph: (Reminder that the EV is wrong calculated in my pokercraft graphs)
And here is the 5 card PLO $0.02/$0.05 graph:
So, the total graph of the $0.02/$0.05 stake looks like that:
And the total graph combined of $0.01/$0.02 and $0.02/$0.05:
Seems pretty crazy that i reached the $1k profit in just 23 days of $0.01/$0.02 and 9 days of $0.02/$0.05, but there is no plan to stop it, so from today, I'll be f*ing crushing the $0.05/$0.10 streets!
Here is the DriveHUD stats with correct EVs and all the pre rake back results:
And the full detailed info:
In total, grinding the leaderboards, it's been more expensive than $0.01/$0.02 but I just paid 2.87bb/100 in rake after the rake back.
To finish:
BIGGEST POT
BANK: (I deposited $56.20 on Feb 7 and in total I withdrawal $489.96)
So, from today, I'll be crushing the new stake. Great things will happen, and I have no plans to stop until I reach the very very top of the 6 card PLO. This is just being the start of something big.
GL to everyone!!!

CRAZY! Another stake surpassed!
Correct, I beat the $0.05/$0.10 stake crushing it. With a 47bb/100 and 44EVbb/100 after the rake back. And this heater won't ****ing end.
Honestly, I don't know what to say, because for the moment there is no one interested in the blog. And maybe no one will be until I reach the High Stakes. I already went from $0.25 MTTs to $500 MTTs in one year. My plans changed for what I explained on the first post, and I will do the same again in PLO.
For the moment, I will just upload the results:
The image above is the full graph of $0.01/$0.02 + $0.02/$0.05 + $0.05/$0.10. As i said before, I beat $0.05/$0.10 with a 47bb/100 and 44EVbb/100 win rate. (My Pokercraft calculates the EV wrong. I'm running over EV but not that crazy of a run as it shows Pokercraft)
This image above is the DriveHUD2 . I use it for the real EV because of the Pokercraft EV problem. I wanted to start studying but for the moment, the only way that I "study" is just learning the equities of the hands of every all in situation I play. In 6 card Omaha the equities many times aren't intuitive for ex Hold'em players, so that helps me to understand a bit better the preflop game.
PS: Does anyone know why DriveHUD2 can't read some hands? There's like a... 0.5% of hands that DriveHUD isn't capable to import.
This are the full detailed stats of win rates, rake, rake back... I like to have everything under control and to know everything detailed. My rakeback % is huge. And I think that this is mostly because I fight the leaderboards and because I always play the 2 happy hours that give 1.5x points. The place where I'm is dawn when the happy hour, so it's a bit hard. But now I'm completely focused on beating stakes and moving up, so that's what it takes to have such a crazy win rate and such crazy winnings in micros. I also moved down the VPIP quite a lot. In $0.05/$0.10 the regs are better than before so I can't just VPIP 40%. I would say that this was my only adjust on this level,
On Feb7 I deposited $56.20. In total, I withdrawal $856.04. And in the image there's the bank I have in GGPoker. Making it a total profit of $2,881.72 in 2 months of micro stakes and 119k hands.
Now I'll start playing $0.10/$0.25. And I'll crush it!
GL to everyone
Great profits bro!
How its going in 0,25?
How do you calculate your paid rake for excel?
At micro stakes in GG, yes its possible to get over 100% RB. But it shifts a bit for 0,25 and a lot for 0,5.
Craft graphs are missleading, those are rake free and ev difference calculated from HU pots, multiway pots are excluded from ev.

Thanks bro!
I didn't start yet. I'm taking 9 free days. My gf had 2 weeks off, so we are on vacations. I'm planning to restart on Thursday.
The rake I calculate with the information given in Pokercraft + my cashier. Ex:
I had $50 and pokercraft says I won $200. Then, without rake, I should have $250. So, if I have $200, I paid $50 in rake.
And for the rake bb/100 you just need to convert the $ in bb and then calculate how many bb/100. Le's say that in that example I played 5k hands on $0.05/$0.10. Then: 50 / 0.10 / 5000 *100 = 10. In that example I paid 10bb/100 in rake. For the rake back it's the same calculation but with the rake back instead of the rake. And for the NET rake paid, Rake - Rake back.
Yes, in 0.25+ the rake is lower, but the leaderboards give much less money compared to the stake. Do you play PLO? And which stakes do you play?
Okok, GL!
Im playing HU PLO in mid stakes. Have played also in GG RnC micro-mid
Started a blog also
It's been a longer holiday than expected. After 2 full weeks without playing, I'm back.
GL everyone! GL me on the $0.10/$0.25 streets!
Oh, ****!
I'm in America, and when I came GGPoker's help centre told me that I could play without problem if it's just vacations. That it is only restricted for people living here.
My holiday time has ended and now I'm with another Visa. I emailed GGPoker because I want to do everything correctly and I'm not longer able to play on GGPoker from here. So now I won't be able to play online poker until I move back to Europe. Obviously I won't play with VPN or nothing illegal.
Damn, that's a big ****! I guess I will need to take an obligatory mini break or move to another country. I'll need to think about it with my girlfriend.
What about Global Poker, isn't it possible to play there for all US citizens?
