£2000+ from casino and a $2000 online roll by graduation
Got till July to achieve this goal, the live part should be fairly easy since theres loads of really nice casinos where i live with plenty of fish, the online part will be much harder, really struggle to get volume in online, hence this thread.
Playing 6max on stars, bankroll online ~$350 (can top up if i need, plus got some vvps)
Live bankroll is around £1000
Lifetime graph on stars since getting new laptop
been trying new strategies recently since watching a few vids on deuces cracked, and had quite a few swings plus running pretty bad
Ill try update thread most days with live results and day graph plus interesting hands

Re: £2000+ from casino and a $2000 online roll by graduation
been running really sh*t this month, started to doubt whether its because iv been mixing my game up, cant actually beat 0.16/0.08 or just running bad,
month so far
:
feel like this only tells half the story though, keep getting coolers like set vs set, set vs straight, or running into the top of fishes ranges constantly.
Really disheartening watching a fish spew his money then, but when you finally get a hand he has the nuts lol.
guess Ill just keep grinding and hopefully break through it, thats if im even beating this level.
Only few hands on villain:
