Good day guys!
Nice to meet you all here, and greetings from Latvia! I just requested 40$ for an action poker. So , at the moment i got about 120$ , just after playing few hours. My targets are, to clear up the upfront bonuses and reach the targer of 1000 before the new year. So that`s my marathon! What i am gonna to play ? That`s a ring games, and cheap overlay tournaments(up to 5$). Every few days i will right some comments here, and will discuss some hands and difficult decisions!
I see you are very ambicious. How long have you been playing before? It's very difficult to grow on Action poker 'cause there are only few players, but still most of them are fishes even on nl300 - and this is almost top level on this poker room. So good luck! Hope you could share some secrets of your success while going up to 1000 .
So at the moment, my bankroll is about ~140$ dollars.And i got about, 440 POP points.If i understand correct, when i reach 700 POP points i will get 50$, and other 50$ with 1400 POP more ? ( or 700 POP more ?!) I am playing only cash games at the moment. So how do i find fishes? I open 2-3 tables, and looking after people`s play. I make some notes, and then "join" the table. The player`s skill is middle average, they bluff a lot , playing tight - what`s good for me. Question to admin, or ACTION POKER. What kind of poker office does the action poker support? If it will go with a Poker Tracker , it`s gonna be perfect. And how can i "convert" hands from AP So i could put some interesting hand here, for a discussion. Question for today!
You are on a big blind and u got a pair of Kings. The early position raises, and 2 more players from middle calling. You are giving bank, 1 player call. So you are only playing with 1 opponent. And the flop comes Ace . What would you do in this situation ? I knew the player good, and i knew he will bluff. This moron wanted to pull me down with a pair of Fives
2 Medvedev i am playing about 3 years for now, but that`s a long story when i had to cashout all my bankroll for something.So now trying to get it back
ijavascript:void Indsaetsmiley(' ') javascript:void Indsaetsmiley(' ')n a few days i have cleard the bonus, and i will cash out..........action poker sucks

Back to the blog!!
Thing is going quite well! I cleared up first 50$, and all together it`s about ~360$ Played few guaranted tourneys, but people playing there are really insane
So i had about 12k stack, after rebuy period finished, and was going in 3d position out of ~20 players. So i had AKs on a button, and 2 limpers before me, i raised the pot, both call. Flop came K J 2 , 1 player moved all in and i made easy call. He showed, JQ and J comes on the river. I am not trying to say that that`s a bad beat or something, thats just a worse people playing skill and that`s it. I don`t care, i will finish in money next time So my plans are playing 2 tables 25nl(does anyone knows how to minimize them?) , with a short stack strategy. Good luck all, and see you on the tables!

Congratulations! Now your stack is big enough to play the stable game on NL25 with full stack. Seems to my that I've seen you at the tables but don't remember if we played raised hands together. So continue eating fish, shark).

Congrats and good luck to you. I just finished requesting the same bonus but am only up to $50 so far after about an hour of play. Keep grinding away I guess.

What`s UP!
So that`s sounds insane But i catch fishes all the way round. Have a look. It`s been only about 5-6 days when i requested my bankroll at action poker. Now i got 670 So if the things will be alright, i will catch my marathon finish within 2 weeks time.So i got 330 left. Here are my results. Still playing cash games, but it`s not good that i can not use Poker Tracker. That`s why i make notes on the players
before the new year. So that`s my marathon! What i am gonna to play ? That`s a ring games, and cheap overlay tournaments(up to 5$). Every few days i will right some comments here, and will discuss some hands and difficult decisions!
