Hello,

I will be using this as a daily journal to document my progress. I will be playing 6- max hypers starting with 1$-3$ and moving up as my bankroll permits. Current bankroll is approx 300$. A little background about me. I am 37 and feel lost in life. I do not really enjoy any one thing. I like the idea of being independent and away from the rat race. I have been playing poker on and off for many years and have always been a big loser at cash games. Probably down 10k +. Paisting level stuff. I recently got into Hypers about 3 months ago and have had good results. I am hoping that through this poker blog I can motivate myself as well as others to never give up. If you have a passion for something keep going and keep trying to get better. My plan is to play approx 200-250 Hypers per day, every day for a year. I will strive to follow a structured daily routine that includes exercise and eating healthy. I will not be detailing which site I am playing on or my screen name. I will however be posting daily graphs, weekly graphs, monthly graphs as well as excel spreadsheets documenting bankroll progress.

Hey man,

Do you mind sharing how you study the hypers? Like do you consume theory content (free stuff, training site) and/or study spots with icmizer?

200 per day sounds like a lot. are you commiting to this full time?

Wish you good luck and lots of energy!

If this is Pokerstars (I am guessing from the volume and buyins it is) you're on a massive heater right now and will get graved at 5s & 7s. Wouldn't move anywhere before a 10-20k sample accumulated, it will be rough and you likely just end up clearing 5 days of work in 2 sessions.

Another tough day. It looks better than it really was. Played a 3$ satellite and won a 55$ ticket which I ended up losing. So really I only ended up about 20$. Ran pretty bad until the very end. Maybe it’s a sign of better things tomorrow.

I must do better. Kind of a crap day overall. Found out that the scale I’ve been using to weigh myself for the last 2 months is screwed up. (I randomly weigh myself at my brothers house. I don’t own one) I thought I had gone from 224- 204. Turns out I’m actually 230. LOL. Oh boy. Tomorrow I am going to start a new diet. Basically just eating one large meal per day. Thanks to those of you that have started following this thread. Tomorrow I will be updating overall progress since the challenge began.

I sense a 5s & 7s reg afraid of a little competition!

He he no I was just trying to help out as he looks someone actually could do well even at two digit buy-ins, I mean if he doesn't spend the next year yoyoing between micro and lowstakes, but I mean once he ready to like blow 50-80 buy-ins for 5s in a few sessions and move back down - that's when players actually should be moving up not at the end of a couple of day's heater.

Took some shots at the 7s today and it went pretty well. I think I will continue to play it safe though and grind primarily 1s/3s until my bankroll reaches 2000. My current BR sits at approx 1100. This is a combination of table profits/rake back/refunds from cheaters. My volume has not been where I want it and that’s something I need to keep working on.

I could post a something like "told you so" but honestly you didn't got destroyed yet. It's just a day at upper one digit buy-ins, like any other. Better to get used to it because most of your days will be like this. GL!

Sounds like you're going to start some intermittent fasting.

If that goes well but you find one large meal a day is not viable long term than you should look into macro counting alongside intermittent fasting.

You can still eat more than one meal, but you eat specific amounts of carbs, protein and fats based on your level of activity and then squeeze it into a 6 to 10 hour "eating window.

Good luck!
