*Update 2 - Dec 26 to Jan 1st



613 games played, 34.8h, +$2667


Good week, ~half played @ 100s. Still getting used to it, but some things I've noticed (maybe sample size):

Reg:Fish ratio def went up. Also, "fish" in general are slightly more experienced. ex. might be winning MTT/cash players donking around.

Action is noticeably slower

Maybe slightly less fish regs->regs are slightly better in general


Was originally planning on my $ goal counting from since I started playing again, but I'll count only 2012 now gonna go for the $200 promo bonus (16.6k VPPs) for sure this month, might shoot for the 25k VPPs one, prob won't make it tho.

2 more days and the semester starts again...

156 GP, 8.5h, -$293.28

Long BE day..ran pretty poorly. Was card dead for like the first 100 games, which was v frustrating. Gonna work on sticking through bad stretches, keeping my A/B game through downswings etc.

2522 of 25000 VPPs so far. Really not sure if I can make it this month. I'm hoping to hit SN latest by end of May. If all goes well maybe I'll even go for 300k VPPs for the year... Also don't really have any ideas about cashing out yet. Have no real need for it, so will just do it naturally depending on my skill/comfort and moving up/down.

Goal for next session:
[ ] realize it's normal to run bad, and don't spew/spaz cause I'm "running out of chips"

64 GP, 3.8h, +$1645.84

Didn't play much today, but did run good this will be a slow volume week.. barely going to play tomorrow, and will not play at all Friday-Sunday. So probably looking at a ~300 game week which means I'll have to make up for it the next 3 weeks to get 2k (hopefully 2.5, but I honestly doubt it) in the month.

now I remember why I always skip lectures again.. Bored as hell atm

Forgot to add January goals:
[ ] 2000 games
[ ] 3% ev roi

Watched a couple of videos last night and gonna work on my under 15bb and sb play. Misapplying overbetting in some spots and missing dbl/triple barrels. But generally too tight from 0-20bb :/

64 GP, 3.7h, +$44.64

another low volume day after not playing at all yesterday. actually more games than I expected..

next 3 days I'll be getting close to 0 games week is at 385 games played.

Tried 2 tabling this session. I should say that I'm the WORST mutltabler ever. Looking to start 2 tabling 60s when I'm feeling 100%, and hope to be able to do it well after this month.

[ ] learn to 2 table this month!

*Update 3 - Jan 2nd to 8th



344 GP, 19.7h played, +$1610.48

Bad volume week because I was away for 3 days + school just started. Should be able to make the $200 bonus pace but not the $300 bonus...

Starting to multitable when I'm feeling 100% and when lobbies aren't full. Action at 60s is more than 2x better than reg infested 100s.. so have and will be mixing those in instead of waiting for lobbies all day.

Ran poorly @ 100s and good at 60s which sucked

Hopefully if I keep doing well I can start coaching a little in a couple of months. That's something I'll eventually want to do. And maybe start staking (+coaching?)

Not v interesting updates so will be v happy to answer any questions.

you're doing great!

Few questions: What helped you the most to move up in stakes? Anything you would recommend low stakes HT players? Also, where are you from? Thanks

I moved up stakes when I hit 50BIs until 100s where I had more. Just playing and studying. One thing that helped me the most was definitely coaching.. It doesn't work for everyone but it does for me. Fixing my spew-leak and being more confident were very big too.

Recognize your goals and believe its achievable , study everything out there, and just play lots I guess. Work hard and realize its a grind, like the opposite feeling of just binking a MTT or something.

Past 2 days:



146 GP, 8.5h played, +$3216

Been mostly 2 tabling, and have played pretty well ~80% of the time. Get distracted some times by skype/forums, and end of sessions.. obv running v well past couple of days (not only EV wise)

Gonna try to be putting in similar # of hours/games during weekdays, w/ a little more on the weekends hopefully.

It's been ~2 months since I started playing, so mandatory SS brag graph:


looking good.. PT3 won't calculate by $, so it's chips.. a ton over EV @ 30s and 60s mostly, some @ 100s EV wise (~85? BIs over):

wow very impressive sir

7.5% over 4k games is pretty amazing. Even at EV roi it's still insanely high.

I remember playing you at 30s just a month ago, hopefully we'll meet up again sometime soon

Wow, a new poker god, incredible ROI so far.

Gl mate! Will follow.

If you have any good tips on time management, don't hesitate to share

Well for me: stop playing video games, sleep less than 10h/night, don't waste all my time checking forums/fantasy pools/fb/reddit etc by doing those during breaks, don't procrastinate. I think it depends on the person, but for me, wanting to do well in poker and school naturally helped me manage my time better.

90 GP, 4.33h played, +$812

Pretty dull day.. lost some confidence the past 4-5 days. Gonna try have shorter + more focused sessions and maybe get an hour of coaching.

Also cashed out 2k, so got back my initial deposits + coaching $, software etc + future use. Maybe I'll tilt-buy my chair some time Roll is at ~13.8k

I don't know the structure of these, but out of interest surely after a while they are just 100% beatable? Playing ~150 games a day and reviewing your sessions you must eventually just know every perfect push/fold range in the book, or is there more to it than that?
