Egon Olsen Poker

A little hand from the 1k GTD tour today on Carbon, there was  a lot of talk from the loosers about how fishy I was.
So its a good learning hand to show here, I wil explain why I do as I do.

So was I a fish, well yes I fished but it was VERY cheap. If you cant bet properly you will loose.

Hi all

Yes I hit my bad streak 2 days ago. Managed to burn 1500$ in 1 hour on 2/4 NL.

I could bore you with how my flopped set in Aces got beat by K8 ect. But I wont.
This always happens to players 1 time or another, so what do you do about it?

Well I can tell you what I have done. First you analize how you played those hands to see if you can better your play, in my case the 1200 went without I could do anything, I was in front 90/10 when we committed. but the last 300 I lost was kinda me taking a chance and not doing well. I flopped 2 pair and just hit the all in with my last 300 grossly overbetting pot and guess what? he called with top set. what a bugger.

So I have 300 left of my 1800 and what to do. Well I did what you have to do. Go back to basics. Do what you do best.

So I started with the low GTD tours again and hit the low Fixed Limit tables and after 2 days I can tell you im on my way back up.
I just hit 1000$ and have started on 2/4 and 5/10 fixed tables. This might sound high and it can be if you dont play them right. But the
reason I hit those is the players are much much more loose there. Doing my thing playing a tight game you can quickly doubble/tripple.

So after the down, 1 day break then back to basics. Remember that when you get your bad streak.

Good luck outthere.

I put a little extra for you on the site.

First my own guide to fixed limit. Use it or not, but I can tell you I earned loads on playing like that.

I also put in some general guides to the different kinds of pokergames around.

Enjoy

So as some of you know, I have been running a little test on myself, starting this new year with a brand new name and 100$.
Playing lowstake tours to start with and as I progress start a bit on higher buy ins and cashgame.

After 1 month I can proudly say its going good so far.
Im almost at 2k$, 1911$ to be exact.

Seems being unknown to your opponents is not all bad.

I have started sniffing a bit to cashgame, mostly .50/1 tables, preferred 9 player tables.
I also started to play the sunday GTD tour.

We will see if I can keep it up.

Welcome to my new site, its still a work in progress, so bear with me.

CarbonPoker.com’s Heart Attack

We’re celebrating February in style by spreading the love of Valentine’s Day to all our poker players. Of course, love is always sweetened with a nice win at the tables, so it’s time for everyone to take on CarbonPoker.com’s Heart Attack!

We’ll be running a Heart Attack freeroll every day, open to any player who has earned at least 700 Comp Points before the tournament. In your Player Admin section, we have set up a personalized Freeroll Counter, which tracks how many Comp Points you need to collect before earning a coupon for entry into our daily freerolls.

There is a guaranteed $500 prize pool to win in each daily tournament throughout the week, and $1000 on both Saturday and Sunday. There’s no break in the action, with four tournaments running over the weekend, two on each day. Players can now keep track of both their tournament winnings and our unique Heart Monitor, which is the surprise twist in our special month!

In addition to the standard prize payout structure for each tournament, we’ve created an entirely separate Heart Attack prize pool for players to win during the game. For example, in our $1000 Saturday tournaments, half of the prize pool ($500) will be divided up and paid out according to the standard tournament structure, while the other half will be used to reward players who collect running Hearts in their hole cards! Both the top five tournament place-winners and the top five Heart collectors will receive a portion of each prize pool.
