Progress Log: unlucker#1
Hello all!
I have started my second progress log (first and main on Russian Community poker forum).
Short about me: My name is Aleksandr, I am from Siberia (it is in Russia, but only official). I am 27 years old (today I beat that milestone ). I have a girlfriend, we are 5 years together. I have full-time job that I love (Engineer of electronics).
My poker nickname: unlucker_1 (PartyPoker)
My poker milestones:
– I played Holdem with friends on partys, but never liked that game. I heard about Omaha from my friend, and rules and action have got me.
– I started with play money on pokerstars and played for this about 3 months.
– I made deposit on Pokerstars 30$ and have been started playing PLO2 real money in extremely tight behaviour until I lost about 20$.
– Next 6 months I have tried full pack of poker rooms (888, Pokerstars, Pokerdom, RedStar, Partypoker, APN) defining what of rooms is better for me.
– At the same time I learned PLO by watching videos (streamers, old Galfond’s videos), by articles (great “PLO from Scratch” by Donkr), by joinng Russian poker community (that very friendly and strong, f.e. Aleksey Altshuller is professional poker player, who can give feedback for, may be, 99% of hand histories)
– I have played MPN about 2 years on regular basis (2-3 hours a day after work), moved up from plo2 to plo20 with bankroll strategy “40+10” (40 buy-ins of working limit, 10 buy-ins for shot);
– At the same time I subscribed at PLO Mastermind about 6-7 times, from the start (April 2018) and after that about every 6-8 months (as I have enough time to study concepts).
– I have found that partypoker leaderboards can be extremely profitable and after calculations moved to PartyPoker after MPN was closed.
– Now I am playing PLO25 Fastforward and feel slomelike comfortable in spots, but definitly want to improve my game (graphs will be next time)
My purpose:
– Make an alternative way to gain money to my life to be less dependent of my full-time job and raise level of my life
– Become competent player in poker with solid strategy
– Gain knowledge in more and more concepts of strategy (I have medium strength passion for solver nosebleeding )
What is my current status?
I have played a huge amount of hands for not-full-time-poker-player last 1,5 month, that was my personal challenge, I have played 54k hands. Start was pretty good, ending was a little dissapointed, so my overall EV winrate for this hands is -4bb/100. By the way, with rakeback from partypoker promotions, I get some amount of money above zero. That was interesting experience I`ve never tried before.
My current goal:
– Improve my game and other aspects of life to have more accountable results and to hold on PLO25 with conservative BRM.
Have a nice day, see You on tables!
