Silverstar

Today i achieved the Silverstar status on Pokerstars by earning 1500 VPP points in the month May.

25NL (6-max)

At first i didn;t enjoyed cashgaming on the microlimits. I played on the 5NL and 10NL tabels and didn't know how to cope with al the strange moves and callingstations. So i preffered to play sit n go's and MTT. But after my bankroll was grown to 220$ i want to take a shot at 25NL. I just promised to myself if i loose 2 buy ins i will stop cashgaming.

Playing on 25 NL gave me more pleasure in the game, and i learned a lot on this level. I now have played 4k hands in two weeks on this levell. Here is the summary how it went ;)



I won in 4K hands a little bit more than 200$

and now have a Bankroll around the 450$, and almost official playing like Raszi's bankroll managent:

Pokernewscup20

After a week with a up and downswing, went from 50$ to 93$ and back to 37. I won a free pokernewscup ticket on the forum.
After a slow start i picked up some nice hands, and create a average stack. After throwing out the funder of the ticket (redwatch)and some nice plays i was in reach of the chipleaders. On 1 moment i was even Chipleader, and after a long strongle i came ITM. I reached even further to the final table but ended in 8th place. Good for a doucle up of my bankroll (63.18$)

I also recorded this whole cup. Downloads:

Pokernewscup #18 Recorded

Yesterday i won a ticket for the Pokernewscup # 18, with Eastern egg searching on the pokernews forum. I played the Pokernewscup yesterday for the third time, and finally i finished in the top 100. Because i won this ticket i wanted to do something back, and thought it was nice to record this cup.

3,30 Sit $ Go single table Recorded

This morning i played a 3,30 sit&Go and recorded this again. I played not very well, and i almost was on tilt. I have a little cold, and not feeling 100% maybe that had some effect. But just look this video, and give nice feedback (i already know i made some stupid mistakes)

This afternoon i played the 1,10 exclusive tournament and finished just before the bubble as 29th.

my bankroll is a little better now: $34,16

1,10 45 man Sit $ go Recorded

After i seen some recorded video's from experienced poker players (Scriptdude, Edme) i had the idea to do that also. I installed camtasia and did some tests. Well ok shuffle up and deal, and push the record button.
After Scriptdude saw my Handhistory he used a program to analyse and give comments (in Dutch), this is for me a very informative video. And i think worth downloading or every starting poker player. Here are the Download links:

Poker History

I am playing for now three weeks online poker.

On the very first day i won a Pokernewscup ticket on the pokernews forum. The pokernewscup is a 10$+1 MTT organised by the pokernewscrew (check the link on the right). I was out in 5 minutes and only played 2 hands, a disappointment. After this i decided to start on the playmoney, just learn and enjoy the game.

A few days later i was posting on the forum to look for other players who played on playmoney. And i played with Marceldev and Sharkfreak on a low playmoney table. But for them it was too low, and also want to play a game with me. So they sponsered me for 60.000 playmoney chips. (still thanks a lot for that). With that playmoney i won a few sit & go's and become a playmoney bankroll. In two weeks i made 2,3 million of it.

A week later an other forum member Smerdis, wanted a match with me. We decided to join a playmoney sit & go 9 handed. We ended as the last 2 and starst with the HU. The second hand i was holding A3 and he puts me all in. He called with AK. On the flop was a 3 and my first enjoying victory was there. He donated me a dollar, to play a real MTT. (Thanks Smerdis)

That evening a decided to join the 1,10 exclusive (Noah Boeken) MTT. I played really well there, and was lucky with the coinflips and after more than 3 hours play i ended as 5th. And earned 16$.

Last week i sold 2 million playmoney chips or 21$, so i had a bankroll of 37$.

Last monday there was a new Pokernewscup and experienced forum member TheLoon wanted me in the cup. He sponsered the 11$. I played now longer than the first time but after 45 minutes i ended as 180th in this tournament. Still a lot to learn to perform on that levell.

This week i lost a lot sit&go's and only ended 3 in the money (ITM). So my bankroll left is only 27$ One of those Sit n go;s i recorded with camtasia more about that in my next post.

Welcome

Welcome to my Poker Blog.

I am Vera, and live in a small city in the Netherlands called Leeuwarden. Since a month i am falling in love with the game Poker, and play online a lot in my free time. The reason to open this blog is that i want to share my adventures in online poker with u.

English is not my native lanquage, so sorry if it the English is sometimes not 100 % correct.

In the past i enjoyed, learned shared a lot of poker on a Dutch forum. This forum is found on www.pokernews.nl. For the Dutch readers a real recommendation.

I soon will soon post my poker history, progresses and stories.

i hope you will enjoy reading this log,

Vera
