Ecce's blog

This is it. I am positive as by now and that NOT considering the bonuses I had. Which means my game, which before had me seeing losing 20$ over two months, gave me 30$ back in just one month.

I had a bit of a downswing today, and lost almost 10$, dunno what was going on, I just felt in a gambling mood and did a lot of stupid thing. Then I freed some time to play, and I crushed the games winning all the money back and show a profit of more than 10$.

Now some question:

So, I moved to cash game and got my feet wet with it playing 1/2c PLO.

I am now positive being up 21$ over my original 50$ bankroll. I must admit tought that's mostly because of FT promotions and bonus which allowed me to play for a while without going flat broke and with the recently held Take 2 kicked me up.

But in fact I'm now on the right track having all my session while "Taking 2" being positive and managed to learn a lot about the mindset I need to have when I hit the table and setting some goal.

Been a while since my last post.

I had some baad run, most due to lack of concentration because of personal problem keeping my mind busy but I managed to almost get back to where I was before the runz.

I finally cracked the ban on .com poker room we have in Italy and moved to FT to try the cash game, I guess since it's coming in Italy I should try to get an edge over my opponent by experiencing cash game sooner than most of them.

So now the unbelievable bankroll of 85€ by winning a couple of 5€ game in a streak.

Recently I managed to find a way to walk trough my being out of br by playing constantly 1€ Omaha sngs which I'm confident to beat, and an occasionaly 5€ to try to pump the bankroll up.

This way my ROI went up a lot, hope this may help all of you out there.

I figured out that I got two problem, first I'm quite sensible to BR swings, so when I lose too much in a row I definitely go on monkey tilt wasting my work so far, but with the method of mixing stakes up this seems solved.

GDP: 24.244

PPM: 10.460

I need just 756 gdp to cash in my 10€ rake back reward, and I need them by the end of the month otherwise my vip level will sink back(tomorrow last day...), which means eleven 5€ games...but today...not even a SNG starting...

I'm actually 74€ after a wrong streak in which I in fact overplayed my bankroll far beyond the 35€ limit I imposed myself.
Fortunately I climbed back up here and learned something in the way.

Never saw these beauty before...WOW! And I was on the button too!

Simon17 called too, I raised the max, and they all folded!^^
Brought some cookies home!

Ok, I'm swinging hard, but I haven't been kicked out of my bankroll yet!
Instead I'm back to 69€, so, since I started my movin' up thing, I'm still positiv!

Yesterday I got a very tough run, losing all my games and ending up completely tilted!

One game I was third then some shit head decided he should call my pot sized bet with a gutshot and a 4 high spade draw, ending up with me bumping my queen high flush for all is chips when a spade hit the turn giving him a straight flush...!!!!GGAAAHK!

At night I was on a total tilt and desperately looking for some game to play

Ok, now I'm gonna kick it up a notch.

Played a lot of Omaha 1€, but I'm always stuck. I win a couple, lose a couple, and I always found myself in the same place.

I feel like I'm playing good, I'm tight just as much as it is necessary and increasingly aggressive as the field thins.

I know the difference between J T 9 8 and J 8 7 6 and the values of all different hands.

Point is, I probably need to win a bit more when I get first or second. So, I'll try to move up to 5€ Omaha sng.

Bankroll problem: I got 63€ I hardly earned starting from twenty.
