Lousy English Gypsy Learns

I have decided to make another blog in a hope to finally get into poker properly. I have been playing recreationally for the last 6 years or so and I have never really got out of $2NL, after I would make some money on $2NL I would go play $25PLO and either win some money and withdraw or lose a lot of the money and go back to $2NL.

FIRST CHALLENGE TO PLAY 10,000 HANDS OF $2NL 9MAX SHALLOW

I started playing 4 days ago when I had $3 in my full tilt poker account. I have been keeping records of how many hands I have played and profit/loss though I cant afford HEM yet so will look into buying that when I can afford it out of my bankroll.
So far I have played:
$2NL 9MAX SHALLOW - 1696 hands +$6.90
$2NL 6MAX SHALLOW - 196 hands +$10.52

Current BR = $20.42

I am confident in my game playing $2NL 9Max Shallow and will keep grinding until I reach 10,000 hands. I also played some $2PLO 6Max Shallow and ran very well. That is where the name of my blog came from, a lovely gentlemen from Hungary kept calling me a Lousy English Gypsy over and over again. Made me giggle :p and helped me decided to make a blog.

Got to do real life things today, but am going to try and grind 800 hands tonight to get me up to around 2500 hands total.

PEACE :cool:

GL man! Hope the grind goes well this time.

Bankroll management should help you from spewing off at 25 PLO :)

Well...... Same old me....
Short Story - Busted, had to redeposit $10 starting grinding $2NL 9Max exclusively again
Long Story - I have disgraceful self discipline and probably am never going to make playing poker profitable, but $25PLO and roulette are hella fun :)

So I am starting again with my goal of grinding 10,000 hands and hopefully I will be able not to tilt after a bad session this time. Not starting a new blog, just going to make this my fail blog. Woop Woop :)

Right then well after I got my spewing my money away out of my system, managed a few sessions in the last two days.

$2NL 9Max Shallow - 962 hands +$9.89

Obviously I ran super well, especially in todays session where I won around $7, but it just annoys the shit out of me that if I hadn't tilted and fucked up my old bankroll I would be around $35 and 3000 hands down instead of here. BUT HEY HO.

I'm out tonight for a birthday and working all weekend and prepping for a job interview which will happen middle of next week, so probably not going to have time to play until Sunday Night. Though the next time I do have time for poker, I want to do some studying into pot odds and implied odds, which although I am quite good at mental maths I seem to have neglected for years.

Going to work my way through the beginners circle digest when I can motivate myself to do it, because when I do have free time I just normally want to play. I brought myself an awesome books of quotes as well so just going to through them in here every now and again.
