Update

It's been a while since my last post... The last time i tried to post i wrote a big story and when i submitted it something went wrong and everything i wrote was lost. Since then i stopped posting for a while but i'll will try now to post a couple of posts every week.

A lot has happened since my last post. I'll try to explain in short what happened.

First of all i managed to qualify for the 300k gtd tournament on party which i sometimes try to qualify for. I qualified two times before but in the main tournament i didn't even get close to the money. This time was different. After hours and hours of poker i finally managed to finish in a 15th place out of (i believe) 1179. I won 2300$ with this spot which i cashed out for the most part.

In real life I sometimes play in 10euro rebuy and 50 euro freeze out tournaments which are organised here and in a 1-2 euro game with some poker people i got to know during these tournaments. Normally I dont play 1-2 euro but some of the people who play in the game are not that good. To keep a long story short, after one of the tournaments i started playing in a 1-2 game and after a couple of hours of play i lost 300 euros.

A day later i was following a course in Utrecht and since i heard that they host 2-2 euro games there i went there after i finished my course and checked out the poker there. Quickly i found out that i had to wait a couple of hours for the sng tournaments to end before the 2-2 tables would be opened. Because i didn't want to wait that long i decided to play in the 5-5 game again. I've played this limit in the casino in Amsterdam as well but i dont really think i have an edge here but i gave it another shot anyway. I bought in for 500 and i think i didn't even last 2 orbits. First i walked into a straight while i hit my second pair on the turn. Second someone sucked out on me with a flush. I immediately left the casino, while i didn't play bad i just walked into a big hand and got 1 suckout and with such a limit i dont want to put another 500 on the table.

In another 1-2 session with the people i know from the local poker tournaments i lost again another 400. Basically i lost most of the money i won in the Saturday 300gtd.

Meanwhile the 15up/5 down challenge is going up and down but latelely it is going up. Right now my BR is $784.42 although $100 of that amount is still left from the tournament win. But i also played in some small tournaments like the qualifying tournaments.

To keep working towards a clear goal i will update my targets to be:

Target BR: $1500
Point of failure: $450

I will post stats and graph later.

Good luck on the tables!
