Hey. I'm a NL50-100 NLHE grinder. I grind Heads-up and 6-max depending on the daily feel'. I made a thread earlier in september but I didn't finish it due to being very busy with moving and other obligations.

Now I'm going to look further than just a month. And I'd like to grind 15000$ purely from 50 and 100nl until december 23.



I will post lot's of graphs and hands in this thread and will appreciate any feedback.

50NL 6-max last month. This was 20-24 tabling for the most part or 16 tables with 4 zoom tables. I just wanted to get a ton of hands in as I'm quite new to playing poker "professionally". I'm going to cut down and play 8-10 tables from now on.



Total last month. Running bout' 1500 below ev.



...................

So far this month has began very well. Almost no heads up so far. 6-max is much more fun.



Running 400 above EV which is nice considering i ran so much below last month.

Last night I had the most epic day ever. Even tho only scoring $119 after 11 hours of playing I felt so victorious afterwards. I was multi-tabling a ton for the first 6 hours but went down to 12 tables for the last 2 hours. I was so determined to get even for the night. I had been running very bad vs peoples ranges all day which made me do some bad call-downs as i wanted to catch up.
I ate some dinner and decided to change my mindset and play tighter especially from the blinds. Since I previously had been playing extremely aggro, I managed to get some really nice value from regs. they probably had an image of me being spazzy as they called me down very light for the last two-three hours.

Also went from running $200 below EV to running $5 above EV so it evened out in the end.

Today I'll probably stick to playing fish HU. Didn't get much sleep last night. Alrighty then. Take care and good luck to all ya other grinders out there.

I dont understand those hands, you had some reads on villains, or?

Hola, good luck Hebrebre! I hope you succeed.

So you are playing poker professionally at 50$ and 100$ stakes? What is your average monthly buy ins won? Over how many months? That is good news for me as i play 6 max as well and am currently trying to replace my part time job (which i just quit) with poker. I am just breaking into the $50 6 max games.

I will definitely be following your journey! Subbed!

Let's begin with the last hand which is vs a reg. We've been 3/4betting each other quite a a abit. I shared some other tables with him too.

He 3bets me with a quite wide range from the sb. He cbets flop but checks the turn when club hits. I stab which I'm doing with all my bluffs and the flush. Why would villain raise with the flush when he knows it's very likely I'm barreling the river as well and he could just c/shove river. Villain also had a cbet turn on 78% and i'd most definitely expect him to barrel a flush on the turn every time in this spot to try get value from my top pair+. Makes no sense for him to play the hand that way with the nuts. Obviously this is a play very easy to exploit for a good reg. But most regs at 50nl arent good or willing to bluff off 200bbs when they get pressured. He snap folded not even considering that id probably just call his raise with the nuts.

Thanks for the support, mucho appreciated

I used the " when i said "professionally". Only way I managed to describe that I'm doing it very seriously atm. Not thinking of myself close to being a professional yet but I'm doing this in a very "Professional" approach with all the time I'm going to spend grinding and studying.

Never have i seen a squeeze spot juicy as this. One limper, then reg iso with a usually wide range.

Worst hand of the day. Gah i got sooo stubborn repping only aces. Sometimes reason is taking a nap. Turn check is fine. Should Check back river too everytime here. Only thing i get to fold here ever is queens that smetimes folds the flop so just suuuch a bad bet. But you live and you learn.

Just finished my third session for the day.. I only played roughly 5.5 hours since I got little sleep last night, so it's less than i normally will play. All in all very happy results wise. Ran really bad last session and only nettet 11 bucks but i was down 150 at one point and felt the games were pretty reg heavy with only 40-60 people in the rush games.

Todays giraff. Played 4 rush 50nl and 2 rush 100nl. Back to normal tables tomorrow. Will be bumhunting if my sleeping problems continues.



Villain trying to rep set pretending he wouldn't just call my check raise on the turn. Bish please..

Month so far:



I'm looking to get more hands at Heads-up. So Won't do 6 tables rush + HU as i did last night as i just ended up leaving the heads up tables.

Will be doing 4 zoom or rush tables then sit out on two of the zoom tables when i get fish HU.

Miss clicked flop. But worked out in the end

Felt like a really bad day. Had one winning session and one losing session. Ended being up $50 for the day.

I've managed to put some psychological pressure on my self which can't be healthy. I feel i should be winning every day. So when i do a bad play i just can't help but feel terrible and can be affected by this one bad play for quite a while.
I felt wierd and completely unmotivated to play after the first session where i lost 3 buy ins. When i managed to get to the point where i was up for the day I felt happy and quit even tho i could've played several hours before feeling tired. Need to work on my mental mindset and let my shoulders down.

I also feel afraid that what I do now that currently are making me money, suddenly aren't going to work and I'm gonna start losing. Like if you won in the lottery and are afraid of losing the lottery-ticket.

haven't had a losing day this month and it's ****ing up my mindset.

Ran really bad in the 6max games. Had Hu games up almost all day at the side of my 4 rush tables. Luckily i got some really bad players Heads-UP. Prob won 150 from 50nl rush and rest from HU.



Tomorrow which is actually today since it's 8am ~ I'm not playing poker, it's caturday and we're going out partying.

Here's month. total 8 days played.

nice thread man! keep crushing

Thanks, appreciated!

This is awesome!

u know theres like 1% of grinders that not quitting when they feel like they want to is a good strategy for.

Will be primarely bumhunting today. Got a huge hangover from last night. Up 150 for the day so far. now lets SHEEP the moneh this way.

Okey. Small update. Played a ton of hands of 50nl. Won about threefiddy from 6-max and bout 55ish from Heads-up. I ran outrageously bad heads-up today. Got hitn run for 20-40 bucks five times and got somewhat tilted after the last guy hitn ran. I took my shovel and shoveled the F*CK outta the snow that's been building up like crazy outside blocking my entryway to my apartment. Felt pumped after that and went back to the grind.

Todays giraff. Rungood at both Hu and 6-max soon?



Still haven't had a single losing day this month which feels great. But i want that $1000 dollar profit day soon.

Almost forgot a couple of hands.

Worst river in the deck. I can't see villain ever call with an overpair if i shove. I potbet the turn to make it look like a draw and hoped he would ship it on the turn. However when that river came I bet on the smaller side to force a call out of him. I think it was an OK play.

This was such a wierd hand. I was tanking down on the river for over a minute deciding wether to call or ship. I just couldn't understand wtf was going on AND YES the 3bet was a missclick. I never 3b low PP in that pos ever.

Haha. I had to read that post 10 times myself to get the hang of it. He meant that for about 1% of players it's fine continuing to grind when not really feeling like playing because it doesn't affect their game in negative ways.

hehe yea i get it now I personally lose confidence in my game if I don't feel like playing. Today is a good example. I've played for about 3 hours today, Ran horrible at 6max. Clashed with the top of peoples ranges over and over. Turned a boat vs flopped fish, flush V flush, kings v aces two times. It's all super standard situations, but I have the problem of losing confidence when nothing is working. Also had a guy 3b with kings and call down my 3 barrels on a AT9hh,8c2h. I don't recall ever getting called down with kings or queens on that type of board. So absolutly nothing went my way in 6max. I luckily won decent at heads up. So I'm still up $148 for the day. Gonna watch a movie and just chill. Hopefully i get some confidence back later and i can go crush the morning zoom games.

PEACE

Might have turned around my sleeping habbits. I usually wake up between 8 and 11.30 pm. I woke up around 8pm yesterday but somehow managed to fall asleep after my first session and woke up 9 am today. So now I'm going to grind until hopefully around 10pm and hopefully be in bed by 1 am. I want a more scheduled grind compared to just grind whenever i wake up. I also feel much more drowsy when i grind at night. This way I can also get to hang more with some friends in the evenings.

And also here's monthly graph so far. And a nice tune.

sick thread, subbed, gl!

Thanks!
