Hi guys,

As of tomorrow I will be a professional HUSNG player, I'm going to record my goals and results here and track my progress hopefully up through the stakes

Lifetime HUSNG graph:



Lol yeah that is 1700 games, hope it's not variance and I can actually beat these games

I'm starting out playing the $30 hypers and hope to move up if I don't suck too badly.

I will be aiming to play Mon - Fri 9am - 7pm, 2 hour lunch/gym break and with some random breaks during I am aiming for 7 solid hours per day, 35 per week and hopefully 1k games per week.

I'm going to update EV graphs daily (hopefully), the odd HH and full graphs at the end of each week.

Week 1 Goals:

[ ] 1k games
[ ] 5 hours of study
[ ] +$900 in EV (3% EVROI)
[ ] 9AM start everyday

2013 Goals:

[ ] 12k games
[ ] +18k in EV
[ ] Reg at 100s

Cash graph:



GL!

DAY 1:

Had some computer troubles early on today which was pretty annoying as it took me a couple of hours to sort out which took up most of my morning.

I did however manage to still get in 200 games 2 tabling, it has been a long day!

Overall I think I played OK, I did notice that my thought process gets foggy after about 50 minutes of a session if the tables keep popping up quickly. I'm going to try to keep grinding to practice and get myself used to putting in the volume, but think I will have a 3 or 4 minute break every 45 mins from now on, even if I don't feel like it just to keep my mind fresh.

Ended up running at 4.51 EVROI over 201 games for EV of +$272.19. So so far my EVROI is OK, but I think getting in 1k games this week will be tough, especially with trying to get in 5 hours studying, but I will try my best!

Got a coaching session with the bossman zzztilt tomorrow, so that will be about 1 hour down, and going to watch half a video or so now before I sleep so I will hopefully have 1.5 hours of studying done by the end of tomorrow.

Day 2:

Had a good day on the studying front! A great coaching session, as per usual, with zzztilt, looked over about 30 mins of video and a few HHs and overall didnt find anything terrible going on, a few mistakes here and there but overall decent, so I was happy with that.

Today though I have to finish up early, got some **** to do tonight, so I have to quit the day wayyyy down in EV and volume. I think I got coolered a lot today, and hope it was just bad card distribution, obviously a nothing sample but still disappointing to end the day down in EV! Hope to do better tomorrow. We will see...

-$125 in EV and only 87 games, good hour of study though!



I actually think I need to focus more on studying than volume for the first couple of weeks so I am going to reduce my volume target a little and aim for an extra hour of study. If I can get in 500 games next 3 days and 5 hours of study I will be happy.

I'm going to watch videos/take notes for an hour before I start playing tomorrow to get it out of the way and then get in 200 games, no matter what!

Day 3:

So I didn't get 200 games in, zzzzzzzzz! Got to around 185 but it's 2:45 am now and I have a coaching session at 10:30 am and I need to wake up at least an hour before to get breakfast and prepare for it so I have to sleep. I wish I wasn't so pathetic.

Overall pretty decent day, I was absolutely buried for the first 70-80 games and was just getting coolered for ****, I even started reacting somewhat which is rare for me. When I noticed myself saying "**** off" out loud I was like wow, this must be pretty bad lol. I took breaks very frequently, like probably every 30 mins to avoid tilt/autopilot which has meant my volume has not been so good, but I kept concentrating and trying my best and eventually won some EV monies which I am proud of after a day like today!

Also watched a video and took notes for approx 30 mins, so 2 hours study down so far this week.

Today 185 games, +$207 in ev.



Tomorrow I have a coaching session which I am excited for, and then got a busy day with random life stuff so probably low volume day. Friday will have to be a big grind day!

Sorry, missed the update yesterday, will do both days 4 and 5 here instead.

Day 4:

A bit of a nothing day, barely any volume, did not get much chance to play. I did however have a good HH review session with zzz, for about 40 mins of study!



Day 5:

Decent volume today, got stuck and coolered a lot early on as seems to have been the trend this week but managed to bring it back and played a good amount of games at around $1 per game which is pretty much my target so all round decent day.



I have really struggled with volume this week, not got as much time as I thought I had to play poker and also not getting in as many games per hour as I expected! I am going to try to play most of the weekend to get as close to my weekly goals as I can and next week I better set some more realistic targets! lol!

Good luck mate, I know the variance in these can be cruel, how come you moved from cash to HUSNGS?

Thanks mate I actually didn't play at all for about 9 months and just did not feel like playing cash. I really love hyper HUSNG, so much fun, and its fun to learn a new game so I thought I would try it!

Day 6:

Only played about an hour today to try to get closer to my volume/ev$ goals for the week, nice to have a day where it all went my way, even if only for an hour!



Going out for dinner now, weekly review coming tomorrow night!

Nah I actually just realised switched between all in EV and net adjusted mid week like a fish, will be all net adjusted from now on.

Day 7:

Bad day. 62 games just to try to increase my weeks volume a little and got coolered in my second session by two huge fish over and over again to end -$95 net adjusted.



Week 1:



Disappointing first week. I think I ran pretty bad with card distribution this week, felt like I got coolered a lot but I can't be sure as it may just be that I remember all of the coolers and none when it went the other way, either way my net adjusted $ is very disappointing at less than 1%. Managed to run a couple of buy ins above EV though so I can't complain that much.

Failed all of my weeks goals Pretty much a disaster week.

[ ] 1k games
[ ] 5 hours of study
[ ] +$900 in EV (3% EVROI)
[ ] 9AM start everyday


Plan for Week 2:

Need to do much better with regards to pretty much everything in week 2.

Firstly I am going to switch my goals to include more study and I am going to note down my studying time more accurately so I can hold myself accountable to my study goal easier.

I didn't study enough this week as I was concentrating more on volume, which I think is OK for my first week to try to understand a little bit more about population tendencies and get some experience, but next week I am going to up my study hours by a lot and lower my volume goals to try to improve. A lot.

Week 2 Study Topics/Plan:

- 3 bet shoving ranges

- zzztilt videos

- Coaching

The first topic I have no excuse not to know perfectly, it is just memorising the ranges using 3bet shoving program. I will be working on that for the rest of the night and spend 20 mins at the start of everyday this week running through it and getting the ranges in my mind for the rest of the day. Think I should have this pretty much perfect by this time next week.

The other 2 are pretty self explanitory.

Week 2 Goals:

[ ] 8 hours of study
[ ] Record study sessions accurately
[ ] Have an excellent grasp on 3bet shoving ranges for each stack depth/opponent type
[ ] 700 games
[ ] 3%+ EVROI

OK so today I am going to 1 table all day and run through every potential 3b shove spot as they come up. It is going to be long/boring I think this is going to be the best/most productive way for me to learn this ****.

100 games 1 tabling today, and everyday until I know my 3bs ranges like the back of my bloody hand, so I need to learn quick! lol!

Goals for Today

[ ] 100 games

[ ] 1 tabling only

[ ] Analyse every potential 3bs spot

[ ] Watch one video

Day 8

Goals for Today

[X] 100 games

[ ] 1 tabling only

[X] Analyse every potential 3bs spot

[X] Watch one video


Only managed 3 of my 4 goals for the day but it was still a good day! I ended up playing a 2 tabling session in my last session as I felt like I was running/playing well.

I 1 tabled nearly all day and annoyingly I do actually feel that I play noticeably better 1 tabling. I say annoyingly because it likely means I have a lot more to learn on the unconscious competence level, but I guess that is to be expected as I have only played ~3k of these things in my life.

I actually ran badly to start the day, got coolered for my whole first session, but one tabling allowed me to run through each spot and gave me a lot of confidence because I could see that I was definitely just running badly, rather than playing badly, which was important especially after my disappointing week last week.

Ended up +$427 net adjusted and I felt like I played well today, particularly while 1 tabling. I did a lot of work analysing 3 bet shoving spots and have a much better grasp on it than I did yesterday, particularly at the deeper stacks. I still need to to do more work, especially for shallower stacks (<20bb), so will continue to work on this while 1 tabling tomorrow.

I think I am going to split my volume between 1 and 2 tabling this week. I want to get some volume in, and also practice 2 tabling and try to improve that, but also get some 1 tabling volume in to try to improve my game and boost my evroi.

I also managed to get 45 mins of study in, watched a zzztilt video!

Day 8:

Terrible volume today. No excuses just ****ed about too much in the day and had to get all my hands in after midnight, what a dick.

Good day for EV$ though, really nice to have 2 good EV days back to back, especially after last weeks results being pretty disappointing.

I have now got nearly 2.5k games at the 30s running at slightly >3% evroi which is really encouraging. Obviously the sample means basically nothing, but I think at this point I can infer that I am actually (probably) beating the 30s at least, which makes me happy because I wasn't too sure after last week (lolsamplesize).



I really need to stop these random ******ed no volume weekdays if I ever want to be able to have any days off, which I do! Tomorrow needs to be a decent (150 game+) grind day, going to get up early, and stay up late tomorrow to make it happen. Also have coaching session with zzztilt at 4pm and have >100 hh's to review with him so that should be at least an hour of study!

So far...

45 mins study
209 games

Going to aim to have all the studying/games done by Saturday so I can have sunday off and hang out with my gf on her birthday!
