Hi there !
Here we are ! From tomorrow ill be playing the 20's
These two weeks non stop worthed it. Im impatient to start this new step. I start to look about what could be my schedule. So at the begining of my session there is not enough MTT starting so Im wondering if I will late register (20bbs) some, include satellite or play some 30's. I just realized that I can still play some 10€ big guaranties... I dont know yet. Ill take some time this afternoon to take a decision.
So theoritical part : This week i analyzed some calldowns vs 3barrel OOP as a cold caller 40bb+. Pretty time consuming because of wide ranges in blinds but still very interesting. I feel that a solver would be hugely benefic but I like the idea to think about my ranges by myself and when its gonna be the time to buy Pio i can still come back to these hands and find out what I missed.
About the HUD I will add some misscb flop and fold turn bet stats, River bet% and limpfold sb vs bb. Just need to find the right way to organize it.
So now lets take one day off and eat a cheese dip
See you next week !

Hi there !
This is the last week ill study the 3b spots after that ill move on on the RYE course. I watched the 3b part a second time and im about the half of the spots I wanted to see. So Ill push it a little bit more this week.
I lost about 15% of my roll this week. Series on three rooms and lockdown effect so fields are huge but this bring also good opportunities. I had few deepruns but I didnt manage to take advantage of that. Maybe some strategics mistakes, still realy important for me to always think about what could I do better or change in order to be betterthe next time.
I had two days where variance put me to test and three days where I think i played really bad. I have to stay focused and fix to my strategy even if things dont go well.
I have two days 2. One on pmu 20e 100k on 16/11 with 30bb, one on winamax 5e 250k on 11/11 with 50bb. Ps series are finished, one more week on wina and Pmu. After that ill start to focus again on smaller fields to regain confidence.
Sport is really good, not a routine yet but soon.
I must not forget to have fun (still having a lot). And before each session now I take 10minutes where I visualize what I have to do in order to be well focused from the start of my session.
Now I want to play and have good results !
See you next week
PS : oh I also deleted River bet stat on the HUD and change it by Fcb Turn in Srp

Hi there !
A tougher one this time. It was kind of a special week because this is the first time I had like a drop in confidence. I manage after a very lucky day 2 on wina to reach the day 3 of a 5€ tournament with 90k players. I started the day 20/120 with 40bb and ended up 60th for 300€. First, I think i put myself too much pressure before to play all the day so i quiet missplayed some spots and to be honest this kind of leaks make the difference at this moment of the tournament. I felt stunned for few hours after that but it makes me realized few important things. First of all with series I lost sight of what I was trying to do this year... Improve my game and was only focus about results and money. And this is not the good way to go. So I took some decisions. Like I wont play big sessions on weekends anymore during the lockdown. I will take more time to do some sports take some rest and work on my game. Ill fix to my usual session 7/7. Then for next times during series if i play huge fields I will divide in two my BI in order to feel more confortable with the variance and losts. Now, for one month Ill focus again on smaller fields in order to regain confidence (i can Bi some big ones if i dont have enough tables running, but ill prefer smaller BI), win some more experience in late games. Also Ill have less frustration. I have to stay focus on my goal, to be a decent player at the end of the year. Money should matter less at this time and I need to focus on working my game and become a better poker player. So I wont look for the one time anymore and continue to be constant with the work outside of tables.
I also have to realize that the few deepruns i had during the series are encouraging. It is the repetion of these performances which will allow me to become more solid by experience but also by the mind.
I wont let go guys !

Hi there !
I dindt manage to break the losing streak this week but I can still play 20s so its ok !
More interesting part is about what i learned. It was about multiway spots and this was a shock. It was the opportunity to immerse myself in a lot of hands that i played since the beggining of this challenge and i saw billion spots where I played very poorly. I realised how lost I was in multiway spot. Of course its bring me very interesting things about value/bluff ratio in multiway spots and how to elect them but to be more effective I just decided to take the tips about simplifying these spots as im still playing at low buyins. My biggest leaks were to call down too wide, neglicte blocker effets, to value too thin, value cut myself and dont be able to let go a hand that i fell in love with while everything pushes me to fold. Oh and also wrong hands selection. To be honest it's a bit difficult when we realize that we are wrong but also satisfying to find out how to fix this. I am convinced that it will be beneficial to me. From now I will be more attentive to these spots.
Let's back to work!

Hi there !
I didn't post last week because I took 5days off. I needed it. Im ready to go back to work.
I want to change my routine the hour before the start of my session to have like a warmup. So Ill do some analysis before each session, push, jams, call down etc.. Depend of what im working on.
Last week i changed my HUD, now its filtered by stacksizes. I also ajusted my pushes and call jam ranges. I was too wide in some scenarios and too tight in others (and now I have a clear decision for 3profiles : decent reg, recrea and nit. Ill check in a month if my winrate get better in these spots.
Im now working on shortstack play and when ill be done with this and before to jump in the ICM part Ill review all the notes i took the last months and Ill test myself in order to rework what is not correctly assimilated.
Im also looking for a study group or people in order to progress and build a network. So guys if youre reading this and that you are interested in my approach it would be great to work together ! Even if you see this post in few weeks or months just send me a message and see you soon !
Otherwise see you next week

Hi there !
So since this week im back in BI 10€ and had a winning week, still good to regain some confidence.
Also i found some groups and people and this is so EV+. This takes a lot of time but I have to organize my time with studies, replying, work sessions with groups etc... But im pretty happy with it. For now im in few differents and will see with time which ones will last. I had few discussions that allowed me to conceptualize things that I would not have been able to do on my own. This is great!
I bought a new chair and my back is already thankfull for that.
I worked on my TMC notes and built a questionnary from it. I didnt test myself yet, Im curious to try it.
I think one more week on this will be enough then ill jump on ICM part.
It was a rewarding week
And lockdown ends next week so ill have my we's off for sure it will be beneficial
See you for the next one

Hi there !
Its been few weeks i didnt post but with christmas its been a bit complicated to do all i wanted to.
We are now at 50% of the challenge so its so right time to make a little point.
Since I started im winning but still not enough to have decent winnings each month to only live with poker. I put a lot of effort on working my game and ill continue in that way for the next months. I want to finish the RYE masterclass, learn how to properly play satellites and ko tournament. After that i will focus on volume and grinding in order to test myself. Im still pretty happy with what im doing and playing, learning everyday. I had few weeks where i didnt play as much as i wanted to but Im now back in the normal schedule. Ill work on my game in the afternoon and play in the evening.
Time of working my game > Time of playing
Ill also change my brm. To up limits now i want to have 400av Bi
I want to buy a new computer in the next months, start using solver (ill get the money from my bk)
I made a plan with all my goals for the year and next months. And i now know eactly what i have to do in order to be considered as a full time player. I have set it up until September. But here for this tread ill continue until June.
Be part of different groups take a lot of time and for now im still struggling to have a decent time of personnal work.
Im still winning in 10€ since last time so the confidence is really good. this is time of series in France and im using what i learned about the hard time i had last series. I still play some 10€ big fields but avoiding turbos also as im playing lower i have less big fields to play. I manage to have a day 2 on the 5€ (same that few months ago where i did 60/90k hope we'll do better this time ) on 01/13.
Also i will play more satellites (especially ends of session)
So im ready to work even more this year that the previous one, next 6 months will be very important, i dont want to have any regret. I'll give the maximum!
See you next week

Hi there !
What a relief to play smaller fields! Seems that im going to have more regular results. End of the series was not so good but i have a slightly winning week. I started to put a lot of hours in ICMIZER, made some simulations too in order to see when the "Bubble time" start kicking. I was considering this way too late so this is changing my game a lot in these situations. I started to do an amazing work with a buddy of one of my study group. Its going to be on a daily basis for the next months. Were going to see a lot of different situations and boards at 40bbs guessing with equilab what is going to be our strategy then compare it to GTO and nodelock results in order to have good exploits against fields that we are playing. I was so excited about it, so interesting. And this daily work with equilab will for sure increase my understanding about ranges and equities and how it impacts our strategy.
Ill just continue in this way for now

Hi there !
Thanks guy for your messages, its nice to feel supported!
Hoping this leads me to good results in the coming months.
I also add a routine work every two days with another budy playing same stakes rather based on finding leaks in each others game and how make our grind more efficient. Always nice to have someone to exchange who lives the same daily life. at the tables it was a correct week, a winning one. I feel confortable but still making costly mistakes. Also i started playing more satelites and study this part a bit more. I think this is the perfect time with all efforts im putting on ICM last days. This week will be more about passive defending under ICM pressure and still pf as push, calling pushes and reshoving. The week after ill start the postflop part. Ill also try meditation, nothing to lose here !

Hi there!
Its been almost three weeks i didnt post here showing that im losing some seriousness. I took some decisions to get back on the right track. I left one of my study group that did not meet my expectations. I told you that i was struggling to find enough time to get invest enough in groups and still continue to effectively work on my own. So for now I have three left
-a duo 3sessions/week
-a study groups with 8 people 2sessions/week : new rules going on we have to host a session 1/month it will be a new exercise for me it could be interesting
-an other one with more people 1sess/week. To be honest I dont fell very commited to this one but i have access to better players knolwedge so ill keep it for now
If the next weeks i feel this is too much ill left the last one. The problem is more that i use discord as an excuse to pocrastinate.
Im in touch with one other guy of the study group who works a lot and were maybe going to do something together in the future, Im just waiting my new PC and PIO because yes, finally i bought one !
I had my biggest win since the beggining of the challenge two weeks ago and i used this money to buy it ! it was a 10€ for something like 1.3k. its been more than a month that i didnt have a losing week (some BE but this is not losing )
I really want to work again more on my own to finish the RYE TMC and then buy the PKO formation, still RYE. That was my goal, first finishing all that i want to learn before to try to up stakes and put more volume. So i still play 10€ and ill continue until I bought the other one. I played some sats and im doing pretty well, this is the opportunity to work this part of my game and fortunatly fields are really smooth so i played some 50€ and lost all of them (5 i think). But yes I still want to improve and feel that i need to try to play higher to have a bit more of challenge. Except that i have a few steps to take first. I juste have to continue to win some money in 10's and soon ill be totally free to take more risks by playing a bit higher.
We are on the right road !

Hi there !
im writing this post with my new computer
! im really happy with it my set up is now pretty good. I also bought a good microphone so this is more confortable for people working with me on discord. Still playing 10's and doing well. Not big winnings but grinding step by step.
Lately i started to work on my HU game and this is really tough ! New ranges to learn and this take so musch time. Before that i had 0 strategy and i think it worths it to put some weeks in this work as the biggest payjumps are in HU. I want to work this correctly then a bit more ICM postflop and ill can start the Bounty beast course that i bought two weeks ago (in two weeks probably). At the same time ill start to work with PIO that ill buy soon. Evertyhing is fine, i really appreciate my sessions with the group and my work buddy and i have a new weekly session with a guy of my study group. I have a lot of fun playing and taking the right decisions and i work a bit more especially on the night. I take more time reviewing hands, analysing on equilab and thinking about exploitativ strategies. Of course it takes some time on the other part of my study about acquisition of new skills but anyway I need time to assimilate what I am learning.
This week i hope to finish the hu part and to play well.
I also started tennis again because it is a little warmer now.
What happiness!
See you next week

Hi there !
im showing up after a good winning month! Nothing spectacular but definitly in the good way even if im able to totally mess up some parts of my sessions, certainly about lack of focus and/or playing too automaticly. I talked a lot about meditation and im still not doing it but im writing it down to kick my ass off ! I bought PIO (the trap) i started having fun with it and damn guys i dont sleep a lot ! Ill try to not use it too much for now as i want to go deep into studying the bounty beast course that i started. I still dont play bounties tournament and i realize that im missing too much value. So for the next weeks i will only focus on this formation and wont do anything else except study sessions with the group and grinding of course. This is a all new world for me and im happy to learn new things everyday. Next week ill stay on my normal schedule but from beggining of series on winamax in two weeks i will stay at the same BI, still 10€ but focus more on bigger fields. I was guessing about playing a bit higher but i think that i will only play when winning some satelittes and playing some 20€ here and there. Also i thought about increasing the number of tables i play to 12. Thinking a lot about it but i didnt take my decision, maybe not the best idea as i will soon have bounty tournaments and wont be able to apply what ive learned in the course properly this way. I have a confortable BK, good confidence and knowledge of the field. My main goal is not to play as high as i can (for now) but having enough money to have one year of expenses + a confortable bk to move out from france at the end of the year. So maybe not the most ambitious way to think about it but reasonable. As I now bought everything needed to work and study (except H2n but it will be a bonus at the end of the year if it works) it makes me want to achieve my goals even more, step by step. Patience and work are the keys.
See you next week

Nothing spectacular but definitly in the good way even if im able to totally mess up some parts of my sessions, certainly about lack of focus and/or playing too automaticly. I talked a lot about meditation and im still not doing it but im writing it down to kick my ass off ! I bought PIO (the trap) i started having fun with it and damn guys i dont sleep a lot ! Ill try to not use it too much for now as i want to go deep into studying the bounty beast course that i started. I still dont play bounties tournament and i realize that im missing too much value. So for the next weeks i will only focus on this formation and wont do anything else except study sessions with the group and grinding of course. This is a all new world for me and im happy to learn new things everyday. Next week ill stay on my normal schedule but from beggining of series on winamax in two weeks i will stay at the same BI, still 10€ but focus more on bigger fields. I was guessing about playing a bit higher but i think that i will only play when winning some satelittes and playing some 20€ here and there. Also i thought about increasing the number of tables i play to 12. Thinking a lot about it but i didnt take my decision, maybe not the best idea as i will soon have bounty tournaments and wont be able to apply what ive learned in the course properly this way. I have a confortable BK, good confidence and knowledge of the field. My main goal is not to play as high as i can (for now) but having enough money to have one year of expenses + a confortable bk to move out from france at the end of the year. So maybe not the most ambitious way to think about it but reasonable. As I now bought everything needed to work and study (except H2n but it will be a bonus at the end of the year if it works) it makes me want to achieve my goals even more, step by step. Patience and work are the keys.
See you next week

Hi there !
A quick post to say that it was a slightly winning week, i had my worst FT since a long time on friday, talking about my plays ahah with 100BI on top but yes, **** happens !
Today is the begginng of the Winamax series during two weeks and im going to play all 10€, 2 20€/day, 9 50€ with some tickets and i have also 3bullets for the 4mili 125€BI.
I started meditating to work on my focus and sleep, i will stick to it for the two weeks of series. Ill be carefull on what im gonna eat also. I know im all year long playing small fields and now jumping into huge ones. Im confident with my play and just want to play well. I wont work to much outside of the tables during the series. and stay positive
See you next week !

Hi there !
Series are over and i still have a bk! Good point Im BE on these series, at least all my tickets are now converted in cash. Was nice i feel that im ready to play bigger fields now it was funny. Also PKO tournaments, i think i will like it of course im doing a lot of mistakes but i have some tools outside of the tables to check what was wrong and to work on it. That is why i didnt like PKO before because i knew that i was doing all wrong but i didnt know how to verify. About meditation i managed to do it the last 15days skiping two days. Ill try to continue this specific program on concentration because this is my main problem i think. The sleep was so so but i cheated a bit using screens late in my bed so this is the next step trying to avoid screens before to go to sleep. And to finish the bounty beast course before May because in May i want to start a full grind period by studying less and focusing on trying to put more volume, so longer sessions. Currently im playing from 20h and stop registering at 22h45 so im playing twentysh tournaments/day. I want to start at 18h and stop registering at 00h. I put so much efforts the last months into working my game now i want to see if im able to keep the cadence and make enough money the next 6months to pretend to do it as a full time job. Also im taking two days off now and ill take this time to build my new schedule where ill add some 20€'s too. so im comparing structures and competence for each tournaments on sharkscope. As ill grind way more i will think about how ill change my routine and still have a programm on what i want to study (or review). I will also set up jurojin and try to play more tables currently playing 8 but im thinking about 10 or 12 ill give it a try the two next weeks before starting at the beggining of may. And to finish i have few things that i want to add in the TMC questionnary that i made (will be usefull in the gringing period). A little change, it feels good !
See you next week

Hi there !
I tried my new schedule. I added 3 20€'s on a daily basis for now and played 12 tables last 3/4 sessions. So there are pros and cons, I cannot take all notes i would like too and of course its tougher to focus on tables dynamics. But as these are stakes that i now know well i feel like that im not losing too much ROI and that volume compensates it. I still start a 20h (at least for this week again) but i tried to register until 00h and this is nice for now i dont finish later than my usual grind schedule (no deep runs in late mtt's aha) and i double my volume : usually aroud 20mtt's/day and now around 40.
I started to think about my routine and it will looks like something like that :
warmup 18h -18h30 : using questionary on the TMC that i made then start the sess
post session: review hands "quickly" and select ones i want to study next day then launch pio sims for the night.
Everyday during 2h30+ :
meditating 20min ( should be when i wake up )
review hands
1 ICM situation
1 Call vs AI
1 Bounty situation
1 pio analysis
actualize RYE discord
then put the rest of the time related to my weekly work
every week :
Post at least three hands on my differents working groups
one sim of aggregated reports on pio and the analysis
One icm postflop situation
watch one video
play 3hu and analyze them (at least PF)
explore ICM ranges
3x Sport
Also i finished the bounty beast course (talking about watching videos) but i don't master it. At least i will be able to do a lot of mistakes and then work on it to see where i punted !
This week i will focus on how keep a track of all my research and work and how i want to sort all that, then finish the questionnary, also i have to host a session for the group.
Then the next week will be the start of my grinding period...
See you next week

Hi there !
So guys... I didnt post since a long time because i knew that would be my last.
"one year challenge" and its been a year ! Time flies.
Ill quickly talk about my two last months before what i accomplished or not this year.
May was amazing playing 10/20 i had my biggest life time score winning a 10e and finished second in a 50e playing with a ticket i think i more than double my bk. I was really happy about that even if i know that i was very lucky and running so good. About working my game and routine i read my last post and im far away of what i planned. My sessions now are really long and i didnt have the energy and the will to do all this. So i decided that during summer ill focus on volume, playing 10/20 until 15tables.
June is for now good as well i had more realistic results but still winning. To be honest my mind was really buisy because im planning what is coming next.
When i started this blog my goal was :
"I will take an entire year to try to win enough money with poker to do this as a job the next years. So its not just about winning money this year, its about working to be good enough and be ready in one year."
For me, job is done! Im still a lowstakes player and this will be my goal for the next year trying to up the stakes but i have enough money to move in another country + one year expenses + a confortable bk to play stakes i beat after working my game. So now im ready to start the real adventure thats maybe why my mind was a bit buisy lately. Indeed i will leave France to live my dream. I'll certainly move to Mexico but the destination is not the more important. What I think is more important is to say that by doing the right things, work and be passionate we can accomplish a lot. I failed many times before this success and i still have a long way to go before to considere myself as a good player and ill probably never win enough money to play all the games that we all dream about but i can now live the life that i want and this is to me totally amazing.
Fail is okay and it's not because we have failed once that we will never be able to succeed.
Im for sure way much slower than others but this is my way.
If I could i would tell myself that if you don't want to waste time as i did by doing all the mistakes by yourself find people to talk with, better players, motivated that know the road. Put your ego aside and question yourself.
I don't know where i will stop, but not here
See you n...
Bye guys
