Running hot like hell.
Liofle, Oct 27 2008
In the recent weeks i haven't really had much time to play poker cause of the exhaustion at work. However, i've made some very good sessions the last few days. Yesterday i wasn't in the mood to play much so i played a short session, 4 sngs - 3 10+1EU, and 1 20+2EU cause there weren't much ppl to register for the 20eu sngs . I cashed in all 4 of them for a total of one 3rd place, two 2nd place finishes and one 1st place. Yummy . Total profit: 125 euros for an hour and a half. Wanna run like this every day and play just a few hours but damn poker doesn't work like this . So here is my graph stats, guys - it is becoming pretty steep lately:


    
Decided - f**k work, going pro!

Hi again, guys. In the past few days i really thought things through and i decided to go for it, plunge into the deep unknown (for me) waters of professional poker. Yesterday i talked to my mother about the pluses and minuses and i tried to explained her how i hate archivating stuff as i did in the job, and wake up at 6AM in ice-cold mornings and deal with the shit traffic of Sofia. Damn, this city is designed for 1/3 of the number of cars driven every day and it sux when u go to work and back home for 2hours+ staying still in the overcrowded buses smelling all the farting and shitty people around you and the gipsies waiting for you to look the other way in order to take yo money... Shit shit transportation in this city! Moreover, i explained her how i can make more money from poker in a week than i do at the job, where i spend almost 1/2 of the salary for eating during the break. She couldn't find enough arguments and I won . For her, poker=roullette. I hate it when she says that many ppl have lost their homes, families, sold their pants in order to keep gambling. She just can't understand that i am not playing against the casino and i am doing fine in this game. She thinks i will be a scumbag, douschebag, a lazy mf with no social life and so on... I just told her she is wrong and she ll see she had been wrong. But the deal is - she won't give me $ anymore ;(. So, i am on my own after a week when my monthly salary comes. Until then i will have to wake up in 6am and try to survive mentally at work. I hate that! I just told my boss 30 mins ago that i quit and he had hard time hiding his smile. Probly because I am the only person who would tell his boss he quits after just 3 weeks of working lol. Wish me luck at the beginning, cause if i hit a god damn bad streak i will have to eat whatever the gipsies have left in the trash cans in front of my block :D
    
Whow da hell am I?

Well, as you can see, i have very few posts here so you don't know me. Let me introduce myself to you - I am 19 y.o. from Bulgaria. My name is Nikola and this is the first blog i make so it is kinda new experience to me and hope there are people that read this . I started playing poker just a year ago and have never looked back . For the past several months I have played only SnGs and MTTs and have abandoned the cash games cause of various reasons. I prefer cash live, so if i decide to play cash it wouldn't be online... So... i have specialised exclusively on sit`and`go`s and have moved from 3+30EU in Boss Media to 20+2 (have played stg like 6-7 sngs already and getting unlucky, but steal about breaking even) , but I mainly play 10+1 cause there r just not enough people playing on the 20+2. That sux big! Yesterday night there were 11K people on Boss Media which is the biggest nmbr of ppl i have seen online there at once. And still, I waited for it to begin for more than an hour and a half :O.
For now, i am crushing the 10+1 sngs, really just killing the fish! I`ve read some articles on sng stats and the ROI stuff and they all say that generally a 15% ROI is great. To me, playing 9 10+1sngs and being up 10euros is as great as getting fuc*ed in the ass! And i am no gay! I just can't see how this % ROI can be considered great, probably they meant the much higher buy-in SnGs. Ppl on 10+1 and 20+2EU sngs are soo weak. Callin allin with A-high or a gutshot+a backdoor flush draw is something I see every day. Many ppl just don't know what beats what (not literally but still stg close to that). I've seen ppl calling allin with T-high, no draws on, the flop. However, there are players that kinda know how to preserve their chips at the beginning and I wait for the big later-stages-mistakes when i think i am very good at. I don't use tracking programs like PokerOffice/tracker or Holdem Manager cause i think they r not supported by Boss Media and i am kinda lazy and feel good on my own. I am currently typing this blog from my work. I work in an insurance company and it's been 2 weeks since i started. The job is pretty boring and the salary sux. Ahhh, the boss just entered the office, signing off . see ya
