Welcome Pokerfriends !

Poker has become a very big business nowadays, so I’m trying to take part in it and represent my beautiful country to prove that also Belgium can play with the big guns.
I play poker for about 2 years now and as a real addict to this beautiful game, I’m very proud that I finally have my own Pokerblog.

My main goal is not to tell you how you should play poker, or which playing style is the most profitable, or how your starting hand range should be. Poker is a mind-game, supported by skills, brains and the necessary luck from time to time. It’s just that special because everyone looks different at it.
What I do want to show with this blog is how Poker has giving me sunshine and thunder, sharing with you my bad beats, so that the pain is more or less bearable, and my lucky rivers, so you can see really everyone has some fortune.
I’ll combine this with pleasant topics like polls and especially a lot of lists about poker, music and others.

You probably wonder why I’ve chosen Smallball poker as name. Well It’s really simple.
This term has been introduced by Daniel Negreanu as he likes to play that sort of game where you play a wider range of starting hands more aggressive due to small bets and raises, reducing the chance of a big hit to your stack.
So as a big fan of Daniel and Gus Hansen, both of them like to play that style, I think this type will be very popular in the near future.
Nevertheless it’s very difficult to play because you’ll need a really good read and post-flop play. I know I can prove on that so I would like to adopt that style in the future and you could experience it here with me and maybe even learn it.

Well, thanks for visiting my blog and I’ll hope to see you again soon, here or at the (online) table. If you have some questions about this site or about poker in general, please leave a message or you could also find me at the contact page.

Cheers !
