Welcome

Hello all, welcome to my online poker blog.

I've been playing on and off for a decade after being introduced by a friend.

I played regularly for a few years during the poker boom and had a decent record at the micros, particularly Rush and Zoom No Limit Hold'em games (here's one of my graphs).

Around 2012 I began a new career which involved immersing myself completely in study in my spare time, so I had little to no time for poker. However recently this burden has eased and so I have been gradually dipping back in.

I'm an amateur player who still hopes to some day beat the rake.

Graph (2009 - 2013) Zoom and Rush NL Hold'em 750k hands

As promised, my playing history from the lucrative period to 2013. It just shows that even through some downswings that felt quite terrible at the time, it seems that I was a small winner in those games at that time.

How that translates to the present day I'm not so sure. Recent results in Zoom have been break-even at best and it could be that those tables are no longer "soft" enough for my small win rate and I'd be better off back in the standard games with table selection.

A quick note about the player alias, it's given as B4nko - my Full Tilt username - but this graph also includes hands played in Zoom poker.

 
 
A note on playing style, tight aggressive was key. 3-betting was so prolific that I was ditching small pairs UTG (up to 55), along with other marginals e.g. KJs. Post-flop understanding of fold-equity and value betting were key. Understanding ideas such as hands on the river with showdown value should usually be checked back if villains are not calling with worse. This combination of pre-flop discipline and post-flop understanding is what yielded those results.
 
 
I will update soon if I get around to playing some hands.
 
 
GL!
