Big volume goal. I'll post daily graphs. This will be 8-tabling (~800 hands/hour) on poker stars. The hands will be played between 12:00am January 13 to 11:59pm January 22nd. I think this is pretty achievable. No profit goal but I'd like to not lose too much money . I'll post graphs at the end of every day.

Do it. gl

Thanks brother. Today, Monday and Wednesday will be my lowest volume of the 10 days. I'll have to make up the pace on the others.

sub'd obv... Bacardi & cola..

Day #1 Results:
Had an issue with my hem tonight and it litterally took me like 2 hours to fix due to incompetence lol. I wasn't expecting to get much volume in today and I did not. Just one session tonight.



hands: 1,050
pace: 4,000
vpps earned: 136

haha sweet man thanks for reading.

Plan for tomorrow is to play 6,000 hands.

Off to a solid start today. Put two 1 hour sessions in so far to the tune of 1600 hands. Up just under ~$40. I play a somewhat laggy (spewy) game so the contributed rake on stars isn't killing my vpps all that bad. Still hurts but definitely not at much as it does nitty regs.

So far on the challenge:



If you read any of my previous threads you'll know I make most (if not all) my money at non-showdown. I'm playing 8-tables so I'm still quite able to hand read and not get too spewy trying to take down pots where I think they are weak. Don't get me wrong I'm definitely on the spewy side and probably not playing optimally at micro stakes but w/e.

Hands: 2,629
vpps: 264
Bankroll: $561.72

what stakes?

For this challenge I can't see my bankroll allowing past 25nl unless I run really good. Next one will probably be at 50nl.

It isn't looking good to reach my 6,000 hand volume goal for today. I've only played 3,396 (4446 total) and really can only play 1 more 1k hand session because I have studying tonight. I'm fairly dissapointed with my play today but I did just win 3 stacks back at the end of my last session. Final update for the day to come...

Day 2 Results:
To some today up, I had a 10 buy-in downswing at 10nl. So standard... On the + side, I made like 500 vpps and $22 in tourny dollars from 235fpp 6max hypers.

*^ sum up, not some up.. 3rd grade education?

This is a very clear example of why I'm playing micro's and not mid stakes (hand from this morning) and why this year I'm going to bust through i.e. fish on a heater:

Should be a lay down here I think but I've got a set and no way I'm ever folding a set even when I know I'm behind..

I got friggin owned today. Through 10,000 hands I'm down like 5 buy-ins before rakeback. Not good not good. I litterally have gone on a 20 buy-in ev downswing. Any I am trying to play my best. The thought of playing less tables is coming to mind. Bankroll is only $9 less than when I started though thanks to pstars vip.

Day 3 of 10:
I played just under 4,000 hands today. Did not run good. Played decent.

Other than this hand, this morning's session was pretty bad. $4 profit through 1000 hands.

Day 4 of 10 results:
Today, as expected, was a low volume day. I had class during the day and a 3 hour night class. I did not still expect to be playing 10nl at this point but the run-good gods are taking a vacation I guess.

Dude you gotta step up the pace!

10 4. Day 1 and 4 were both pretty well write offs though.

Oh and go Canada!

Day 5 = Norwalk Virus. Not a good time my friends.. No hands

Quick recovery though.

Today I had my first good session since starting this challenge:



Unfortunately, with only 14,235 hands played, I'm well behind pace. Hopefully I can hit 16-17k hands today. To be honest after running terrible for 12k hands I'm just thankful for a winning day.

Day 6 of 10 Results:



Overall played pretty good today but I got very sloppy trying to stack fish around hand 3200. Cleared the 1500vpp milestone and won 11 T$ from a 235fpp hyper turbo. Volume was better than I expected today as well. Good day good day

Good to see your bankroll growing steadily but how are you gonna do this challenge if your falling so far behind pace?

don't worry about it. I see from your other posts you like trying argue in the forums.

I'm not worried man. Just want to see you succeed yo.

I had an unsettling first session at 25nl. I was one more stack off away from moving back down but fortunately I ran very well and made the comeback.



I want to deposit more to play 25nl but I promised myself I'd build off a $500 bankroll. I really feel 50 buy-ins are needed though.
