Egon Olsen Poker

Never really had any hands, but manage to hold myself around average in 5 hours, The I try to Steal with A8, 1 caller flop 883, but I end loosing 2/3 of my stack to 33. Guy called EternalAir.

After that I was really low and drifted, get KJ, 1 raiser I risk a call, but 3 others call behind me also.

Flop: K78

first guy check, so I move on it throwing in my last 5k.

But alas, EternalAir behind me insta calls, rest folds and he show 87off

Egon out of this years Danish Online Championship.
Placed: 125th

Did a couple of sats this weekend 1 for a 150k GTD and for ODM, and guess what? I managed to bouble in both.
That hurt but I will give ODM sat another shot tommorrow.

Other than that my Agame have been off a bit, a lot of outs around 1-5 places before the money this week.
Gonna have to look at my endgame a little closer. although the ODM sat I was semi low and went all in with KJ called by K10 and he hits the 10 ofc.

ODM will be tommorrow at 19.00, so we will see how well it goes.
Day 1 gonna be a biach though, 55 min blinds, 8 blinds to play, so im done at 3am if all goes well .

yes after about 1½ year pokerbreak I started up again.

so wish me luck

Hi all

So I seem to have recovered from my little…erhmm…mistake.

Manage to take down the Deep stack for 1350$ with entry from a ticket, that bosted me right back on track,
also decent moves on the limit tables have made me hit the 3k mark at February end.

Carbon also made a new addition to the Tour schedule, a 5000$ Guaranteed every saturday. Hopefully I can take that one down once.

So back to the tables and good luck everyone.

Egon.

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.
