I am gonna try and find tha grind again. This time I will be playing at iPoker. I have played Stars, Micro, Everest and some other shit. I liked the Stars software and the shitty regs combination best, but the rakeback on iPoker or Microgaming is like 2ptBB/100, so I have to live with the somewhat shitty software.

I started of yesterday and it was a hard day of work, but I managed to keep the loss small. I am just gonna try to grind out 50NL and clear the 600$ deposit bonus (which is deducted from my rakeback, damnit). Off we go:



A really bad aspect of iPoker is the look and feel of the software and the fact that tables are not resizeable very well. A Dutch guy wrote a software package that lets you mod the software a bit and also delivers some hotkeys and scroll wheel betsizing, which is awesome. It costs 28 euros I think and it is something you can not live without as an iPoker player imo. Get it here: http://minimaxmod.com/ If you want to see screenshots of my tables and stats, hit me up on Skype or post in the comments. I will upload some tonight (it's 8:50 AM here ffs).

I used to play them pretty often. Obviously I suck at them lol. I usually build up to a good stack by playing tight like an ants ass in the beginning and in middle fase of the tourney I spew my stack away by 4bet shoving 89s or something like that. So I quit. Fuck donkaments. I am gonna concentrate fully on cash games.

Last tournament was the Sunday Warm Up yesterday.

So, I got my session on 4 tables of 50NL reviewed by Probability and Vitas23. VEry cool. Thanks again guys and really excited to do some more sessions of this.

I told Matt on Skype that this was one of my last sessions on 50NL and he made a remark during the vid (which you can check out at the frontpage of Leggo) that I would have probably moved up to 100NL. Well.....unfortunately not. I was in a stake deal and due to private stuff I needed to stop it. I needed a few extra bucks and I could not look my girlfriend straight in the eyes if we would have to use some of our savings, while I had like 800 bucks online which I could easily cash out.

So, as soon as I get some money online again I'll start grinding 25NL again. Wish me luck!

Hi, my name is....... Aerschtuner. I am 27 years old, live in The Netherlands, have two kids and work my ass off during daytime. At night I tilt away bankrolls. Sounds fun, right? Not really.

So I got myself together, got a backing deal through my home forums (Pokernews.nl) and started grinding 25NL with a 1K roll. I hopped to 50NL and am now trying to get to the 3K mark. Then I will end the backing and start grinding 50NL for myself. Wish me luck.

Just wanna share my location:
