omaha

Not sure where this is going, I noticed another PKR player has started a blogg so I thought I'd try putting pen to paper or should that be finger to keys!

I had a pretty miserable end to 2010, having played pretty steadily all year I went on slight tilt, after being banned from PKR's forum (for life) after a fairly innocuous post questioning the tournament cancellation policy, after 2 events I had entered were cancelled due to insufficient runners. Their loss in my opinion, if they want to lose the voice of one of the top omaha mtt/stt players on the site then so be it.

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.

ok heres a hand i had the other day...

hole cards J10 diamonds 8 Clubs 9 Clubs...

flop Qclubs 7 clubs 7 hearts...

ok picture the scene 100 player mtt omaha 3 players left ...

am in big blind...stack at 120 ,000

big stack has raised to 25,000 blinds at 5000,10000

i called the raise and that was the flop...

big stack pushes all in (which obviously covers me) lot of money difference between 2nd and 3rd...

other stack has 15 000 inchips

now i was caught in a decision do i try and go for it to take the win? or do i fold and take a definite second?

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.

Hi everybody..

I'm Frederic from Paris France

After playing on different Poker rooms form rake back, blinds structures, change, I decided to focus on POkerstars and to start building a bankroll.

Today, Saturday december 5th, my bankroll is curnetly $176.68 (2212.68 FPP)....

STEP ONE
- Playing only on Pokerstars, $5.25 HU SNG NLH and Omaha 8 Pot Limit HU SNG.
- Move down if my bankroll < $100
- Move up when bankroll > $400

STEP TWO
- Playing only on Pokerstars, $10.50 SNG NLH and Omaha 8 Pot Limit HU
- Move up when my bankroll >$1000

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
