The good and The bad. Month 3

 

Scroll down if you just want to see my monthly results!

Another month down and i am so ready to turn the page and start september. While i did make quite a lot of money, the run was not enjoyable. Every tournament i played seemed like it was out to get me, all the crazy bubbles, final table bad beats and a break even cash grind. Crazy to think this is the best month i have had in Short deck so far. Running bad always seems to build character and i did a fair bit of learning(i really need to learn some preflop charts). Hopefully september will be a dull grind, i have had enough of swings. I started the month up around 2.1k€ but it really did cool down a bit as every single tournament seemed to have a bad beat in store for me like this one :


Lovely right? I guess you have to take these on the chin and move forward.

Anyhoo, lets get into my month.

Cash game graph is pretty bleak, take out the rake and i am barely profiting at all. The big swings were all from shots in nl10 , i definitely have a hate relationship with that limit and do not look forward to playing that, the hourly is just so bad and the swings get pretty big.


On to the tournaments, while i did have quite a few 100$+ cashes, i did also have quite a lot of buy ins. The biggest win obviously came from a Zodiac event win, for 1592€, you can read about it here.

I never seem to get lucky in the 21$-31.50$ tournaments though, hopefully this will change as i am not even looking forward to playing them again. I will post some bigger scores and some bad beats, those are always fun right?











 Not too bad eh? A lot of value but not a lot of results, all of these are from final tables so a few holds could have changed my month drastically. But this is poker, if it was easy everybody would do it.

This looks like a bitter rant, but it really isnt, this game is so much fun and i love the swings even if they sometimes can seriously tilt you up.

I did manage to hit a lot of flip outs at least, oh and this jackpot, well i didnt hit this but somebody at my table did and i got some crumbs, sweet!



Lets get on to the flip outs!


A quick calculation shows that we made bank!  A total of 487$ , added to that around 40$ in rakeback, 50$ from leaderboards and we are a true rake back warrior, profiting with rake is awesome.

August profits : 1339€

  • Goal : 5476€/40000€  
My investments are taking a big hit during this economic down turn, but the poker profits leave it to dust!


By the way, i am starting a guide on how to play Short Deck poker, take a peek and stand by for any new posts i make, lets earn some dollars!

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 ...

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€

What a tournament!

  Best tournament of the year. So i was not planning to play a big tournament but there it was, the 75€ zodiac festival shortdeck bounty. How can i ever resist that, the tournament started off like hell, i lost an all in from a JT6 flop with JT vs KQ and then lost another 2 buy ins against hands i dont even remember anymore. Here we go, buy in number 4... thats 300€ down the drain so far but the prize pool was too juicy to ignore. After playing tight for a while i flop a flush versus a massive 120€ bounty loose losing player, i bet the flop and turn, i see the river and think this is a nice spot for an overbet shove, opponent tanks for ages and makes the call, cool. 120€ heading my way, we dont feel so bad about 300€ in buy ins anymore. The rest of the tournament went pretty damn chill, everyone played super tight which is very unusal for a shortdeck bounty so we just took down small pots all the way to heads up, nothing special , no bounties, no big all ins just a boring style of ...
