Hi, mates.
"Why are you writing ( or trying to ) in english?"
Well, if in the future someone besides me wants to read this bunch of crap, at least this way a lot more people will be able to do so. Savvy?
Regarding the cards...let's see.
I've received an e-mail from a rake back site telling me they have missed me very much, me and my ( very ) small rake. Just for the sake of it, i logged into the site and, hell freezes over right now, i had 17$ i didn't cashback!!!
I choose a site where i could withdraw the money too and then i intended to withdraw once more but to neteller, where i have my account.
Since I've chosen ultimate bet, my minimum withdrawal possible is around 50$ so of to the tables.
- I've found out i have 150$ pending bonus dolars in my ultimate bet ( UB ) account! Hard to release them on .02/.04 stakes but hey, anything that comes my way is good.
After a few explosive barrels and some wicked bad beats, where i managed to reach 30$, then go back to 9$, i'm staying now with 24$.
I've learn a lot about oponents on this site and on these stakes, they are a lot different from the ones on the NOIQ poker where i too play ( remember the first 10€, the tournament qualifier? ).
I think now i'm in the zone, i'm ready baby, i think i will make it to 50$ or more ( bonus, bonus, bonus!! )
On to the other account.
Since i've got these new challenge on my hands, i've played a lot less on this account but sometimes less is more and on just one table ( was in four, counting the 3 at UB ) I tried to be patiente and let the cards come my way.
For better or the worse, i'm now at give or take a euro, 70€.
Sweet! Almost at 100€!
Well, as Cartman would have said it, screw you guys, i'm going home.

Some changes
Well, where did we left off?
Ahh yes, the tournament, the qualifier, the money!
Well, i didn't qualify, had some though luck. In three hands, i left it all to ruin..
First, not a really smart move but i was trying to get some chips from the blind with 35s, he went as well all in with 86 and the flop revealed an 8.
I've rebuyed and got all in later on with AQ against a big stack ( who went all in before with T8s, 33 in a multiway pot without position, etc, etc ) and he had AJ. Cool, i thought.
The flop? xxJ.
Last rebuy and i went all in again with a big pocket pair, don't recall if it was AA or QQ. Well, the other player had a pocket pair as well, like TT or 99 and hit a set on the river.
Enough is enough and i lost.
Then i charged the ring tables and manage to build up a stack to about 39€.
Played some more and lost it to 30 € with an incredible bad run of events ( 3 hands lost almost 3 buyins, ill put some of the hands here ) and later on manage to a solid 37 €.
One of the hands that forfit my escalation to success ( the mark of 50€ ) was:
- AA chased by a weak player who caught a set on the river. He then quit instatly.
On the rebound to 37€ the two hands i remeber most were AA against one player, i hit a set ( flop A28 ) and he went all in. He had 22. Perfect flop for me here.
And another hand was in a table where a good poker game was being held. Lots of bluffs and power play. One of the players, Ash something, kept being both agressive and insanelly passive.
At some point i had AK with a solid raise pre-flop 3 or 4 time the big blind, and he chased me down. The flop revealled only rags and he bet half the flop. I raised him the pot and he re-raised me the minimum.
I re-raised me, with the read he didnt hit anything but was trying to push me out or make a cheap 4th and 5th street. He quickly re-raised me. I fold and he show A6. The flop had something like 274.
Later on another player, in a flop with QJs2xx, kept betting small values until the river which i felt it was a blank card.
I had Q7 and knew my weak pair could probably be the best hand, since this player was to into bluffs at this point. I call and became very proud to see a straight flush draw in his hand ( T9s ).
I'm a weak and learning player, so this kind of hands make me happy!:)
So, now i've got 36€, with .25€ invested in a 3000$ garantued tournament and .20€ in a 200€ tournament.
Let's see how this goes.

New stage! New life! Part 2
Hello again!
Since the last post was becoming very long ( and therefore a boring read ) i splitted it into two short(er) posts.
I'm guessing no one is going to read this anyway but the hell with it:)
Well, i started to play lots of freerolls. Anything and everything that cost 0€ to play, i was there.
My main objective was to gather at least the minimum buyin at a .10 / .20 limit table, so i could try to play and get lucky for the first few times ( 0.80€ was just 8BBs ).
I've manage to qualify, with the help of a very good player ( later on i'll introduce her ), to play a tournament with 3.000 $ guaranteed - the buy-in to this tournament was 0.25 €. At this time i had only 0,16 € because i rebuyed in a random freeroll i was playing in.
On that tournament, and with the help of the magnificient pro player ( that i'll soon introduce ) i've manage to finish at a position that payed off 27 €!
I was back on track.
Now i've qualify to play on a Cup 2 tournament, that will lead to Cup 3 and with some luck, to a final Cup that pays 45 € to the 13th position - the final has just 100 players so i guess i have a real shot at the money. Who knows, maybe i can make the final table.
Ps.: I've played a bit on a 0.02 / 0.04 nl 6 seats and manage to win some cash, some stone cold hard cash! About 1€...:). I have now, more or less, 28,50 €!
Strategy
From now on, my strategy is to win a consistent amount of money per day. As long as i'm below 50€, my mark is 1€ per day.
Let's see how it goes.

New stage! New life!
Well, i had 1,95€ like you all know.
Yes, had. I lost it all in less than 5 minutes, not due to bad beat or bad playing but because of a big bet of the remaining money i had on a .10 / .20 (limit) table - at that time i had more or less 1.50 €.
Fast forward!
So there was i, in a "big" pot, against another player. As i expected ( and wanted to ), the other player raised me to cap the bet on the turn. At this time i had more or less 1.15€ in the pot. I was about to double up!
As i pressed the call button, the world stood still and nothing happened. The chat became as cold and silent as...hum...as anything that is cold and silent. I tried to move the mouse, press some keys, nothing.
My computer just froze. And the table didnt have any all in protection. Quick, fast restart.
As soon as my computer restarted, i try to log in into the poker client and found out i was left with more or less .30€ in my account.
The lowest limit to enter the smallest stakes table was....0,80 €.
I was left unable to join any table or game, since the smallest buy in at any tournament was 1€.
Well, back to the freerolls baby!

First post!
Hello, hello!
I'm a curious poker player who started to play some time ago.
I started with 0$, then manage to win, wait for it...wait for it, yes 1$ from a 4325235 th ( can't remember ) place!
A hole buck!
A friend of mine borrowed me 10$ which i was able to double and return after a few days!
From then it was just going up.....until i found out some schemes with the roullete game and sporting events bets.
So i lost a bundle of cash and after some withdrawals and stupid things ( yes, the roullete wasnt my only dumb mistake ) i'm alone at the poker tables with something like 1,95 €!
So, this is my diary, on how i managed ( or not ) to get my roll to a decent amount!
