BETTER GET THERE - A JOURNEY
The purpose of this blog is to teach myself (and all the readers) how to become a successful poker player. This means starting from $2000 and working my way up to big games.
I will post statistics and strategies as well as stories and facts from the "real life" away from the computer.
Getting to be a successful poker player is not just about playing poker and thinking about it. It's also taking care of your health (both physical and mental), planning your future and other things that have nothing to do with poker.
Journey to big games starts now and I ... better get there.

 | It's been a while since last post and it's all because of this dull and gray fall. And also because of the international film festival which is currently running. I have watched six movies and worked daytime so there hasn't been too much time to play unfortunately.
At least I can recommend few movies:
Timecrimes (Cronocrímenes, Los (2007)) ****
Eagle vs. Shark (Eagle vs Shark (2007)) ***½
Gomorrah (Gomorra (2008)) ***

| | I ended up cashing in five events out of 11 which is nice, but failed to get a big score. Odds for that aren't great of course but you can always hope for it.
I played pretty damn well besides few mistakes and could have had a big score if the cards would have ran my way late tourney.
Soon I'm gonna be back grinding PLO and tournaments. I think that I'm gonna continue on Pokerstars with the tournaments for a while. I do hope that I get some tournaments and plo played... | Junior Member | |

| | About yesterday's $530 NL texas. I finished in the money (again). I played well and won some flips when needed but didn't quite make it in the end. To be able to win one of these one really need to hit the rush in some point and get paid by his good hands. It doesn't really help if you get 3x aces and no action.
Oh well today's event is my favorite game, pot limit Omaha. I will try to post some results again.
Break 1 - 4310

| | Ohhh limit Texas Hold'em, very nice. I started my poker career by playing short handed limit texas and it's still really nice to play it in tournaments from time to time. Let's see how this one goes. I try to update my situation during break(s).
Break 1 - 5745
I started in a really good table where I had total aggro on my right. His vpip was 54% and PFR 35%. Unfortunately our table broke and I couldn't get value out of him. 2nd table is kinda good also, with loose aggressive... | Junior Member | |

| | WCOOP is starting in 5 minutes. I have to admit that I'm excited. I had my ex's goin' away party tonight and I ended up being there two hours and now I'm home for the tournament. Most likely this kind of excitement leads to early exit lol.
Let's see if I can edit this post with the hands I play, the interesting ones that is.
Hand 1 ... busted. Just kidding I hope
