A new blog for a new start .

Hey,
I’m going to start a new blog which will be written in English.
And for this first post, I’m going to be very very original because I’m going to introduce myself .

So, my name is Julien, I have 19 years old and I live at Lille, France. I have a French blog but I don’t think I’m going to continue to update it. In fact, I create this new blog for a several reasons:
- at first because I’m really bad in English and I really want to learn this language;
- I want to be able to understand perfectly the 2+2 forum, the others blogs in English... ( Because the French poker forums isn’t also active that 2+2 and the bloggers community is small);
- I want to meet and to discuss with others regulars of SSNL.

Here are the main reasons of why I want to start a English poker blog.


My past in poker is very chaotic, I really discovered poker in February 2008 in my boarding school and I began to play online in play money and after few weeks, I discovered the freeroll tourneys and I began to grind it on FullTiltPoker. For my first cash, I finished 9/2700 players for $3 ( lol) and the next day, I played this $3 in NL10 (lolol) and I remember when I was « all in » with KK on a T hi flop with 2 diamonds and villain show 2 diamonds, I shouted « NOT A DIAMONDS NOOOOT A DIIIAAAMOOONDS » ( in French obv. ^^). And after this double up, I play a little in cash game and a little in SNG $1 and up my BR until $27 but I was scared every time I played, because I didn’t want to lose this money hard won: I was blocked.
For to change, one of my friend gave me $5 on pokerstars and I played in deuce to seven until $20 and I exchanged my $27 FTP for $27 PS (thank « lipo all in » yet) and I started to play PLO2 until $90. And I continued to play freeroll, I discovered Winamax (Ongame) and for my second freeroll I won against more 2200 other donks for $20 and I started SNG $1 and $2 until $80 and I realized some result in Omaha8 and hold’em tourneys. Then, I returned on FTP with $50 of pokerstrategy and I played in CG but I was breakeven (with the Rackback :s), so I played SNG until the $10 (~$400 BR) and after one bad week in SNG $10 (-$100) I tried again the cash game but again I was breakeven with RB.
But I’m not going to detail everything because that would be too long.
So for to go faster:
- After my -$100 week I returned on PS for play SNG $3 45players
- I played after the $3, the DoN $5 and $10 and up my BR a more $1k.
- The poker annoys me and I want stop. And one Monday, I decided cash out all my money except my winnings of the day. I played in NL50 HU and have win few buy in, and I started a tourney PLO … and obv. I won it (lol ).
-So, I cash out $1100 and I just kept $350 on my poker account
- I continued to play in NL50 until I began to lose a lot (obv. -> lol BR management and I didn’t have the skill ).
-With my 150 last $$$ I began to play cash game on PS in NL2 FR( 24 tabling) -> NL5 FR (24 tabling) -> NL10 SH ( 12/16 tabling) -> NL25 (8tabling) -> NL50 ( October) (8 tabling)
-I played also few tourneys low buy in and I won a badugi, 8 games and two top 4 in HORSE.
- Now, I am in NL100, I play 4 tables because I really want to become a good player and to improve my game. So with 4 tables I can think on every spot, I can know my opponents … I can play my A Game.

It’s a little chaotic, in more, I almost have not played in September and November, and just a little in October. In reality, I began again to play since the 27 November but I’m now ok for grind every time and to improve my game.


For finish, I know that my English is very bad, but I hope that it will be better in one or two months.
And if you see extracts where there is big faults, do not hesitate to correct me.
