Big steps : Month 2



Not an easy month for me, was tough finding the time to grind out some hours but happy with all the results overall. 

Cash game graph looks decent, was running above EV which is obviously sweet, mostly nl5 but mixed a little nl10 in there aswell, definetly more $ hourly in nl5 though. Knowing ggpoker we can deduct about 150$ of rake from the graph, if only i had it in me to actually learn the game and get that EV going up, there's always next month huh?



Tournament grind was not good but i manged to atleast clutch in the end to break even or even profit a few dollars so thats that. Had a few decent deep runs but nothing special, highlight of the month was losing 8 buy ins on a 22$ tournament definetely though. Wanted to play a 110€ live tournament this month but i went on vacation to Lapland so couldnt make it, guess ill wait for next year since shortdeck is not very popular for live games yet.



And here is where the profits come, rakeback and daily flipouts. Hit 8 flipouts for a combined 323$ ,  add on to that around 50$ of rakeback/leaderboard its not too shabby for a nl5 grinder.


My investments have been doing well too, going up around 250€. 
  • July profits : 1059€
  • Goal : 4137€/40000€

Month 4 - Downswing

 September was pretty mundane, cash ran under EV and all my tournaments went pretty darn horrible, overall i maybe made around 300€ in total but because of the global economic situation i was losing money pretty hard. I also got promoted and started a new job, lots of new things to learn and less time to play poker. I was pretty exited to play WCOOP but the fun lasted for only an hour ' And my cash game graph for me the month, hopefully October will go better Goal :  5279€/40000€

Legend of Leemurikari - zero to 40k through poker : Month 1

   Hi i am a 32 year old man who has always dreamed of buying a house. I used to play nl25-50 holdem from 2011 until 2018 when i realized playing poker for a living is'nt for me anymore. I have made a total of 100k$+ and saved up absolutely none of it, stupid kid i know. Oh well, atleast i can start all over again now huh? Poker has left me with no actual skills that apply to real life, so i definetely can't just save up towards a house from my salary and onlyfans probably isn't for me. Since i lack absolutely any skills i will be doing it the hard way, lots of hours. I started playing poker again last year with 20 bucks and a dream to get some savings towards an eventual house, i will be playing 50-100h a month Heres my tournament graph, sick isnt it. Full five buckaroos an hour, life is great.  Can't really give a graph of my cashgame grind since huds are not allowed on ggpoker but trust me on it, its equally as sick, 5 bucks an hour 👀 Here's where im at after a ...

How to play short deck poker. pt 1

  The basics of short deck poker. Short deck poker is very different from  Texas hold'em   , cards 2-5 are removed from the game and that changes the whole dynamic of the game. With 36 cards in the deck instead of 52 cards and the use of antes instead of blinds (excluding that button puts on the blind) and antes are 1 big blind everything changes. Raises become more rare, limping becomes normal and it is completely okay to go All in  for 100 big blinds seeing 2 limps in front of you. One hard to adapt change is that flushes beat full houses , due to the fact that it is actually harder to hit a flush then a full house in short deck. The chance to hit a flopped flush draw is roughly 15% to hit on the turn and 30% to hit by the river. That is because there are less cards to actually hit. You have 5 outs going towards the river. Sets are the opposite, its easier to hit a set in short deck then in  hold'em , roughly 13% of the time you can expect to flop a set....
