Starting out!

So I decided to play some Texas Hold'em online to try mastering the game. So far not good, have played for awhile and I suck! Therefor now I document my progress, thoughts and things I learn to try to check where I went wrong!

Where I already have gone wrong:

• Started playing live events without knowing the rules
• Played against better players
• Never really calculated odds or outs
• Get tired and all in spam
• Get tilted and all in spam
• Played on too high level for my bankroll
• Bought a book to learn Texas Hold'em but it was about draw poker
• Bought a book about Texas Hold'em but didn't finish it
• Played too loose
• Played too tight
• Took re-raises against me personal
• Went afk and forgot I was playing

There we go, there is probably alot of other things I have done aswell and I am about to find out more about my weaknesses through this blog. See the strongest players in any sport is the one that knows their weaknesses so they can relearn and improve.

I played today, my bank roll started out today at 6$, yah I know, incredible big bankroll. Anyway after three sit&goes with buy-in 1.50$ I have finished first, fifth and second. this brought my bankroll up to about 10$. I know I play on too high buy-in for my bankroll but not much to do when the smalles sngs are at 1.50$ and I didn't have a greater amount on the site.

My play today have been quite okay except a few bad hands. Tried a few bluffs too hard, and lost most of my stack when I wasn't folding at the right time. Need to read the game better when doing bluffs, and maintain a stable stack. Chose starting cards more wisely. This worked well in the last sng where I ended second place. Managed to hit two good hands in a row at the start, QQ and AK which I managed to put two players out of their missery with and gain a good lead early. This lead got abit lost when I tried bluffing once at 4 players left to gain some chips but managed to get to second place with what was left. unlucky heads up where he was a great chipleader and I went all in with the best hand but got called for it and he hit his straight.

Going to play one more Sit & Go tonight and I hope to gain some knowledge of the game and that my documenting of games will help out in me playing better.

All the best for now!
