Starting a challenge to try and move from 25nl - 100nl on 888. Challenge will end on the new year. I have been playing low stakes plo before and have gotten bored so want to try holdem. Will move up in stakes when at 50 buy-ins. Don't know if I even beat 25nl bc I play very little holdem. Will update thread reguarly.

And yes I am real Matt Berkey

Hold'em manager there's prob an option for posting to forum instead of text, pt4 has it anyway makes reading the HH much easier

GL with your challenge

nice seeing someone reply.

This week was really bad... got in 1k hands with a 24bb win and about an hour of study Was busy with friends, partying and being hungover. Lost alot of motivation actually but this week I will try to put in more volume.

My goals this week:
-Use my time spent on phone scrolling endlessly through ig, tiktok, snapchat etc for poker
-Play 10k hands
-Study some
-Try not to go out partying this weekend (toughest one)

Won some money last week ran well in the start and glet like i was getting destroyed every spot after. did not finish my goal of 10k hands which is fine as i went out drinking friday and satyrday and lost money playing sunday whilst being hungover.

Bought a cash game course now so will try to get thorugh most of the course this week and will try to play minimal hands. Not reallly feeling that good about my game actually and will try to improve much more over the next couple of weeks with studying instead of playing.
