Introducing myself

Hello everybody,

I am from Belgium and new to HU poker. Just bought the course. I have been playing poker for about 2 years, but not regularly. Started with 10$ playing 10 man cash tables at the micro's. Then grinded 6 mans. Went up to about 68$, but then started to swing badly, not really knowing why.

I allways said that i would not raise the stakes in poker untill i feel i understand truely what it is about. It is a confidence game and you need to protect yourself from bad emotions.

I tried sit and goes and there i started to understand the value of the blinds better. I believe to a great extend they are the oil for your engine and playing the micro's the blinds are so small i never gave them to much attention, a mistake that will make you loose.

Also at the 10 and 6 cash games i got bored easily, causing stupid plays or not folding top pair after waiting for them...

Some weeks ago started sit and go 9 and 18 player, won some and started reading about them, but they felt to mathematical (ICM) to me.

Then stumbled on this site and finally i saw some light. I did some martial arts earlier in my life and the 'sparring' part of going for 1 opponent always intrigued me. I played some games in HU and started to see the videos on this site and i feel i get better. I play regular speed, since i need the feeling that my skill dominates my game, not just the cards.

Turbos make me feel a bit in a hurry and i really hate that feeling.

I am now at 35 $, was at 28$ 2 weeks ago. Just playing HU. Not much volume, but will proceed steadily and build a roll. My goals would be to reach between 1000 to 3000 US$ a year with this, to get started.

So thats all for now. Not really to interesting for you pro players i guess, but i want to introduce myself to you anyway and hope to learn more from you. I will try to participate in this forum regularly and ask the right questions so it contributes to this great site content even more.

Regards to all and good luck!

That would be ju-jitsu for 4 years combined with some boxing. Loved the sport. Have not done it for 3 years now ;-( But love poker just as much... And it will not break my nose...
