New Blog!

Well, looks like there is a new blog in town Wink

This is my first blog post, so thought I would use it to introduce myself and maybe describe my experience with badbeat so far. I'm currently playing on betfair under the handle of 'officespace' and it seems to be going quite well. I'm mainly a cash game player and I am lucky enough to have Stummer9 as my mentor.. plus the $3k daily loss limit gives me a little bit of leeway on what I can play. I'm grinding $100nl 6 max mainly just because at the moment I'm finding that for me it's easiest game to consistently beat. I've had some bad sessions at 1/2nl, and previously was grinding up to 2/4nl on full tilt before joining badbeat. However for the moment whilst I adapt to playing more tables and generally trying to improve my game, $50c1 is the most fun :)

So I've been playing for badbeat for about 3-4 months I think and been doing pretty well. The one thing I've really failed at doing though is logging a lot of hands. I tend to average about 25,000 hands a month and that is really not enough.. at the moment I'm out of work and decided to return to studying. At the ripe age of 22 it seems like a good idea!

I'll post some graphs below of my hands so far for badbeat at the $50c1 level which I'm v happy with:

Total $100nl 6 max last 3 months

 

Last month (October) - Very lazy and lack of hands.. but did get a bonus Malta package

 

This month so far - (November)

So can't really complain at the moment.. I think though this month is a definite grind month to make up for October. Now I'm 6 tabling and hopefully a new set up arriving soon this could help the volume... the best made plans and all that..

The other thing that is going to hurt my volume this month is the Malta trip that I won on Ipoker. I think it is called the EC Poker Tour, and the final is being held in Malta this month. The buy in is just under 2000 euros, and was lucky enough to sat into it. I believe the total package was worth $5k, so hotel/flights/food/drink/spending money is all included :) There are quite a few online qualifiers for this so should be a v soft field and tbh can't wait!

Anyways, I think I will try to update this blog at least once a week with progress and hopefully I'll put in some hours at the tables... Sam
