First PCG thread.
Boys, we keep it short.I usually play higher, but I'm having some motivation issues lately so we go for 3500vpps until the end of July at 25 PLOz.
Plat. star screenshot by the end of the month or 50$ to the first 5 posters in the thread.
Daily updates with only vpp counter and graph at the end.Keep it simple, stay frosty <3
Ok.. as expected I couldn't upload a photo
3841 points so far this month and 3659 left to 7500.

First day went well.
Got only 300 vpps because I had to travel.Also cleaned my place and helped a friend with something instead of playing, so I guess it's fine.
I would be grateful if you help me improve my english by pointing out the right way to express myself or spell if you see any mistakes ITT.
Larger update tomorrow including hands
Stay safe : )

Should you be profiting from this? Are you profiting from this chase?

This is my graph for the month so far :


Stats:


Actually I'll be dropping down in stakes for a bit due to the fact that I hardly won a hand in my last 3k sample and mostly played my B game.
I have 3 separate bankrolls in different sites and as I said in OP these aren't my main stakes so despite the small sample size it's safe to say i'm a winner in those games and I should just put the hours in.
Still a bit tired from some recent events so I'll postpone the '' big update including hands '' until tomorrow
GL all

So far so good.Behind of schedule for vpps, as expected before my next travel, but once I return to '' the office '' I should pick up the pace.
Not playing my best game most of the time but it's enough.The existence of this thread certainly helps me a lot to start sessions and be a bit more focused during most of them.I'm thinking about creating a regular PCG after the end of this month including more info about myself, travels, fitness etc.As I promised there will be some hands in this update.They mostly include river calls and I feel like most of them are standard but will appreciate a few opinions.Spoiler of the spoilers: I don't win all of those hands.

              Quick update.
              Playing zoom again is so much fun.I had some trouble finding the right style and balance because I tried 8 and 6 tables plo25z and plo10z.More than 6 is too much and I end up playing too tight, 6 is fine but 4 looks optimal.I'm feeling really good about my game and collecting the vpps as well.I'll be trying to finish the next 2 days and take a break,despite having 1450 vpps left with 3 days to go (this might seem strange, but my timezone is a lot different than stars default and 2+2 default - 31st ends when my date is 1 and it's 7 AM).
              Sometimes I get a bit bored and it leads to gambles like this one :

                Most of them don't end well but we are still over 10bb/100 EV and I already played more hands this month than any of the previous (altough at much lower stakes), which is what i'm striving for.

                Played a bit higher, because games were good .. didn't end well.
                Atleast I'm done with the challenge after playing a lot yesterday after my post and those are the results :

                I'll be deleting the thread soon as the whole thing didn't really end up well in my eyes.

                not normal, u can't beat tough players with this low 3bet, they have data know ur range getting higher value with more reasonable 3bet. but it gives u more post flop decision-making space which is a huge edge against fish, sqz fish is sqzing ur advantage.

                I feel like I have a big edge at those stakes so I keep the pots small.Running bad definetely doesn't make me 3bet more, too My normal game is something like 30/18/6.Thank you for actually asking a question - it made me happy.

                I don't really like trolling, but you made me.You will never know if it's mine or not because I don't have much self respect but you shouldn't lose any sleep over it
                I lost a bit more than 5x50x10 the last few days.To be honest I just wanted people to come for the freerolls and create some discussion so that I could talk with someone about poker..I guess I should think more before I act next time.Btw there was never a chance that I would fail.

                OP scamming people for his own non-existing, promised money.Hop in the drama train!

                I hope someone doesn't get offended..I'm kinda tilted atm.
                I've lurked too many good threads and I thought mine will be fun too.Maybe I should stop posting again and just read.
                Summary:
                -thread motivated me to achieve what I wanted but I probably won't play on stars next month so I won't be getting a piece of those sweet 39% more rewards
                -atracted the wrong people for the wrong reasons which is of course my fault

                Stay positive, don't be like me.
