Hello everyone!
Since i recently had a lot of breakeven and loosing sessions on 25nl 6max zoom and also my HUD is somehow not working anymore and i cant fix it, i thought of a way that still allows me to grind but does not hurt my BR(cause without a HUD i feel like totally lost in zoom).
So i came up with the idea to make a Challenge( that has no time limitation).

I want to make 100 Buyins at each limit starting at NL2 and move up to NL5 once ive reached the 100BIs and so on.

I also think that this should help me overcome my problems with playing underrolled which leads me often in playing scared money and bad.

I have absolutely no problem playing huge volume, i really enjoy that feeling after a 10k hand session. It feels like an achivement even if the session was breakeven. Loosing sessions however i dont usually take that well and i tend to take a day off after a big one. But i think ( at least at nl2/5/10) these loosing sessions should not appear all that often so this should bring back the fun into my poker world

I plan to update this thread every 10k hands that are played.
The goal of this challenge for me is to focus on the long run, stay motivated and to have a bankroll that does make me feel comfortable playing the limits i do want to play.

I apollogize if anything sounds weird, im not a native english speaker

until the next update

cool challenge, will help you develop discipline!

Soooo 20k hands done
this 10k hand streatch wasnt that great , much setups but anyway volume is the solution to everything^^

Im currently about 14 Bis up, still a long way to the 100 but its just a matter of time
Graph so far:



Stats:


I think of maybe adding 4 fullring zoom tables, just to get more volume more quickly but not sure if i can handle 8 zoom tables, but we'll see

feel free to ask questions or to participate on this thread, would love to interact with you guys

until the next 10k hands

I agree 100 buy ins will make you play better but why put yourself in that situation. I think you should try to get out the bleedy 2NL as fast as you can. especially if you know you can beat that stakes. Start taking shots at 5NL when you have more than $75 on your account and move down when you go below $50. Start taking BRM more serious when you're playing at least 10NL. if you stay with 100 buys in for 2NL and 5NL, you just wasting time and electricity which is -EV. lol

Hey dude, I'll follow your challenge. I'm playing NL25 with 100 BIs but I'm with Betlog above. Go ahead and move to NL5 already.

Are you studying or just grinding?

About the hand where you folded AT, you're getting 5 to 1, you can't fold IMO.

Hey,
so first of all for me its not about moving up or making money, since im playing nl25 regulary. its just about to do the challenge to grind 100 Bi on every limit and maybe to give some players that are new to the game some motivation and show them what is possible.
Im also not in a rush to get as quickly to Nl25 again, since my HUD works curently not for zoom games and im really not into playing regular tables.

Im currently studying with the book : Modern Small Stakes by blackrain79( Nathan Williams) witch came out not so long ago and i can suggest it to everyone.
He also wrote a book called: Crushing the microstakes
which is a very good start for beginning players.

I just played 8 tables of zoom(4fr and 4 6max) and dusted of some buyins.
I just cant play that many zoom tables i guess^^ and im also not a fan of fr.
Im going to stick with 4 6max zoom tables for now.

And a little fun fold, that is still correct i guess^^

and about that AT hand, i just thought i can never be good since it got pushed and called in front of me on the river, but i guess i can lol^^

Sorry that i didnt continue with this thread, i had some family problems.
I do not plan on continuing this challenge but istead im going to start a new one ( one that isnt that frustrating like grinding 100 bi on nl2 )
see ya
