Hey thought id make a thread as a motivation for my grind!

As the title says Im planning on making $40k playing hu hypers in 2014, in this thread im going to be posting graphs goals and so on throughout the year!

A little bit about myself i currently play hu hypers on pokerstars $30 - $60's and ive occasionally taken shots at the hundreds. Ive been playing hypers throughout this year with really poor volume, think around 20k hu hyper games lifetime (started november 2012) started at the $5 games on ipoker gradually up to the $50's there before i changed to pokerstars and started grinding the $30's.

So here are my poker related goals for 2014

-$40k pre rakeback
->45k games for the year
- book 10 hours of coaching before 1/2 the year passes

January goals

-4k games
-Not to look at cashier throughout a session
-Learn to four table hu hypers
-Reread The mental game of poker and finish the mental game of poker 2
-Start reading Will tiptons expert hu no limit again.

Ill aim post weekly updates sometime more sometimes less and do a monthly update on how the grind is going.

Cheers

Nice, gl! Will follow for sure.

Hope you can find it in you to update more than 1 time per week (at least 3 times per week)

Yea updating 3 tines a week ks doable

Sent from my GT-I9300 using 2+2 Forums

So just got back to uni and first sessions of the year one short 20 games and the other long....Feels good to be playing again after the christmas break and im feeling super motivated right now!

Managed to finish read The mental game of poker 2! its awesome changed the way im looking at playing poker quite drastically i feel, only time will tell how it impacts my play on the tables though. Going to start rereading the mental game of poker 1 tomorrow as well as will tiptons book!

anyway heres the graph so far this month four tabling 30's and 60's

gogogo bro crush them

go go ! playing the same game... it's all about volume

Got back to playing today, took tuesday off!

Some interesting hands came up been thinking lots about cbeting ranges/checking back ranges on the flop. especially against aggressive opponents

Thought i played decently two long sessions four tabling is tiring though as i used too just play 2-3 tables. Was sat by a strong reg and we played for around an hour while at the 60's when action was slow. Going to be putting in some decent volume over the next few days also!!

(Heater alert) Graph for january so far

Cheers

Wad up! Heres the graph from today and thursday, didn't play friday as i was mightly hungover!

Feel like ive been playing really strongly so far this month, last year i really don't think i played that well for a majority of my sessions, think that was down to not taking my sessions properly not warming up or down and getting so easily distracted during sessions! happy with my play sp far but really really trying to play as best as i can every session, always looking for places which i can improve.

Also ive been havn't been looking at the cashier throughout sessions and instead setting some goals for each session, things to work on, which keeps me motivated and focussed while playing. For those of you doesn't or hasn't tried this you really should give it a go!

Anyway enough of that, heres the graph four tabling 30's and 60's if you have any questions about the games or whatever ask ahead

Great thread- Good luck with your goals.

Im also playing HU hypers and looking for people to discuss with on Skype- send me a pm please if your interested

Cheers mate,

So basically i've taken a week and a half ish off playing properly had exams early in the week so couldn't really find time to play. Played a session yesterday was ok, felt like i wasn't playing too well so stopped the session early, was tired from revising and so on!

Anyway i won't be able to make the 4k games i wanted to this month, but thats not a huge deal for me right now. Instead of reaching that target i'd like to really set up a schedule for the remaining week or so of january to approach something like 2.5-3kgames by the end of the month.

As for that ive got a couple of other goals i'd like to set in motion pretty normal stuff really these ar:

-Eat healithier (been eating so much **** takeaways and stuff this month, me and wallet aren't really feeling it right now!)
-Drink less! much less!
-Routine for going to ze gym

anyways heres the graph for the month so far. Really feel like ive improved my game game overall despite the low volume been thinking about spots tons more and been really focussed on maximally exploiting unknowns and adjusting quickly, really low volume though but i couldn't play the first week of jan or the last 10 days or so!

Long january for me, really couldn't find any rythme for putting in decent volume but this wasn't really my decision too much, as couldnt' play for 2.5 weeks of january due to exams and stuff. so the volume has been pretty woeful. but apart from that thought my play was decent, only had 2 session where i thought i wasn't playing well, which is pretty positive! also feel like my game has improved quite a bit, in adjusting to opponents and developing game plans against different types of players. Also im feeling pretty confident in my four tabling ability, i need to try and work out how my hourly is highest 2-3-4 tabling? think likely 3 will give me the highest hourly but not sure.

Also i had to withdraw a big portion of my bankroll for living expenses and stuff so i stopped playing 60's for the last 1/3 of the month whichs sucks because it means this month ill only be playing 30's

heres the graph for january basically only one real weak of grinding! my roi adjusted ain't too great think i ran pretty lamely card distribution wise at the 60's but not 100% sure. Either way the sample size is tiny so really not too bothered






Enough whining anyway, goals for february are
-4.5k games to make up for my weak volume this month!
->3 ev roi., i don't really like making these ev.roi goals but with good volume this should be comfortably doable!
-finish Will tiptons book 1st book
-Manage my money better off the tables i'm just spending way too much money per week at the moment
-Be more professional when playing stuff like being easily distracted, and disrupting sessions will have a big effect on my roi and volume played

These goals aren't set in stone and i may add to them as the month goes on cheers and gl at the tables.

Great plan and I'm sure you will do well.
One question tho: how do you like will tiptons 1st book? Is it worth a read I mean really good stuff?

Great Goals, GL Mate!

Cheers sir!

Cheeers! Im only like %50 through ive been super lazy in reading it, just have sooo many other things which i want to read as well! But yea man its well worth buying if you're committed to improving your game! its not a book to be read passively so if you decide to buy it be prepared to put in some effort and work to ensure you'll get the most out of it. Its decently priced so pick it if you have the $$$

Just a quick update here anyhow heres the graph so far this month! going to by trying to average 200 games a day for pretty much the rest of the month! will be tricky but should be doable. Fairly happy with me play, but im constantly looking for spots in which i can improve. Still thinking about cbetting ranges a tonne in position, think in alot of spots ive been cbetting to much so im experimenting with checking behind more marginal showdown hands on the flop, well see how it works out as the month goes on!

Heres the graph:

Wad up! long time no update my bad, been busy and been lazy with updating and grinding!

Quick update on me goals for this month,
Decided to aim for 3.k games because ive got a **** tonne of uni work today, in my last year so theres a fair bit to get done!

As for me other two goals, which were 3% ev roi for the month
and to finish Will Tiptons book, these are coming along well should be able to do both by the end of february easily!

ill update 3 times a week from here on!

anyhow hees the graph for the month. just been playing 30's planning a fairly expensive holiday and withdrew a big portion of me roll at the start of the month so just trying to build my roll back for the 60's and beyond!

anyhow heres my graph for this month at the 30's -- Running well and playing pretty well still think im making a fair few mistakes mainly down to focuss mis clicks and so on so ill be fixing those asap!



and graph for the year



Real happy with the ROI but feel that i can be playing better so i feel that im likely running well card distribution wise but who knows/cares?

Chhers and Good luck!

Subbed, GL!

Cheers mate!

Evening all, just doing a quick update!

So since i last posted, me and (everyone in my house) have been super ill bad chest nose and so on! So i havn't really played until today.

Had a coaching session with Cog Dissonance on sunday though! thoroughly valuable enjoyable and he seems like a really cool dude, would definitely recommend him to anyone looking or interested for a coach!

I, trying to get back into the 60's also right now so started playing the 60's "cartel/group" today. I still feel kind of ****ty so didn't play a many games, felt i played okay but not close to my best, probably played like my Bgame.

The last couple months or so ive been working super hard on my game against fish and unknowns that i felt a little but rusty in spots today, so going to be working really hard on my game against regs!


But enough of that heres a graph of since i last updated

gl

Sup Bitchezzz!

Another quicky update. Just been playing some 60's hu against the group there.

Small sample so faar only like 340 games. Feel like im playing pretty decent so far. Think ive played like 5 sessions so far and think played subpar only in 1 of them. Feel like my reg game has been alright so far, obviously lots of room for improvement but enjoying the challenge so far.

Heres the graph, running pretty bad though this sample but could be worse i suppose!

Anyway heres the graph




Cheers

in and gl!

Hello there you beautiful people hows it going?

So ill try and make this short and sweet.

Poker goals for this month
-3.5k games at the 30's / with 3.5% ev.roi
-Work on my reg game
-Learn to use Card runners EV
Don't play super late sessions
-To lay my a game 9/10 sessions this month?

Pretty simple goals fingers crossed!

Anyway heres the update, so ive been p[laying the 60's cartel guys over the last week or so, its not been too pretty. Feel like i played reasonably well in most of my sessions but certainly decent room for improvement. Made a couple of spewy bluffs/and call downs but didn't feel like i was being beaten up on. It feels like i ran pretty bad but then again i would say that wouldn't i? ! Ill likely be playing mostly 30's this month could play more 60's but could do with trying to grind my roll up somewhat, feel somewhat unrolled atm.



As for the 30's feel like my game aggainst recreational players is becoming super strong been experimenting with playing quite alot of smaller pots and really becoming super confident on barrelling in position in spots which i hadn't been doing before seems to be working rather well. graph since febuary is below




Cheers, more updates to come soon

Wad up Bitchez!

Not too much been going on since i last updated! I Have despite this done another couple coaching sessions with Cog Dissonance which have been pretty awesome, really enjoyable!

Apart from that, not tonnes to say, ran super hot at the 30's this month and ran pretty awful against the 60's cartel.

One thing im trying to get sorted is a playing schedule, at the moment i'm kind of just playing in when i have time throughout the day but this is an awful way to go about playing so im in the process of sorting this out now!

Heres the graph for the month 60's and 30's,



Also had an idea to keep this thread from becoming to stale, that being feeling pretty confident in my game right now, especially against recreational players, for you guys following, if there are any hands you've played recently which you aren't sure on or any tricky spots post them below and id be happy to give some feedback


Cheers and gl

Hello there fellow 2+2ers hows it going?

just a quick graph update from my grind today! played 30's felt i was really at my a-game for the first time in a shortwhile which is schweeet! apart from that not too much happened games were super slow during this afternoon so didn't play as much as i wanted to but thats how it goes sometimes!

Not played in the last 4/5 days too much as i've been busy doing some other schtuff, uni work and visiting friends all that jazz!

anyway heres the graph from today playing 1-4 tables
