Ok, i had no update for a long time.
I see all other people blog like "omg see my huge ptbb / hands" "omg i am on a heater !!!" "omg so much money" !!!
I think that mainly nobody is inspired to make a blog post after loosing money or on a big downswing. It is like taking a knife and hitting your own wounds :D That is certainely why "there is no loosing player in poker" kind of legacy, people dont lie, but they dont brag much about how they lost 20 BI in the blink of a (tilty) eye
Basically, what i did was : Winning a little bit, thinking omg this is less than minimun wage !!!! and going higher stakes without the BR. Tilt there, lose some, go back.
Rince and repeat like 5 times.
Afterwards, i had a méga tilt night where i lost 2/3 of my BR. Work got me angry (you shoudlnt play to forget problems, that generate BR problem, poker is not dota or trackmania where u play a game to basically "fuck up everything"  ) so i started loosing in NL 25, and in a méga tilty move i started playing 50$ head up. Lost 3 of them in a row (i was playing so bad... insulting people and running mega air-tilty-bluff)
Bottom line : from like 230$ i went to 50$ in a very short hour
Anyway... The bottom line is :
- You should always play within a fixed BR strategy (ie for exemple : "i ll play 50 of 5$ head up and we'll see" and not "lets play and see what happens"
- You should not play because u have personnal issues that makes u angry, forgetting how life is shit is better in playing DOTA, better be called a noob than loosing half BR
Anyway, as i always felt asleep when playing 10 or 6 handed, i decided to play head up : i think these game are those where u play the most with your brain, while many other game format are "auto play" that makes u feel like u are working at some chain production... And i have felt again the love for poker that i had forgotten for some time.
I am still a newbie donkey, but i think i am starting to have a good edge in this game, i will try to summurise it :
- Lots of donks only limps with button (or make stupid play like sometimes all in for winning a little blind) while i raise a lot (like 70% of the hands) from the button
Bottom line is, since these donks almost all over-call out of position (lets say easilly 80% of the time), it is like i am playing a head up but with 3 times the blinds when in position... Quite an edge if i am not sucking.
Another thing i noticed, is that you should be very very careful when u wanna make a play out of position... The pot can get very big very fast, and u better have to pick very good hands and spot to make a move. After all, it is not there u are supposed to make the profit, but on the button... I think i have learned this now, dont try to make too many plays out of position just because that guy is betting each flop and such..
And my main mistake, is still, tilty play. Can easilly happen after a bad call or a suckout, i can turn into a psychotic maniac... I got to stop on that, but i think i am improving.
Anyway, here are my stats :
I dont know if a ROI of 10 is ok or not for head up, but i am quite happy with it. Ok i am not even making half the minimun wage, but the whole point is gaining experience...
If there are some experienced head up players out there i will be very happy if they can give me tips (ok i didnt showed any hands or anything, but some head up HH of very good head up players would be interessting or links to very good head up discussion
I wanna keep grinding the 5$ and 10$ Sng till 400$ where i will take a shot at those 20$ sng.
So now :
Br = 209$
Wish you guys all luck
