Hey Guys.

Started playing online poker last feb on various sites and only made small amounts of profit playing very little volume. I work part-time and play alot of Football and Table Tennis every evening and on the weekends so i can only play poker up to 5pm each day during the week.

Started with $50 on PokerStars about 3 weeks ago and i'm currently on $215.34 playing nothing but $2/$5 HUSNG's. I single table as i'm trying to master the game and i get much more info and a feel for my opponents. I started a BR threat on tagpoker.co.uk and thought i would also share my progess on this site aswell.

My goals:

$50 - $500
$500 - $5000
$5000 - $10000
15 Games per day (Single Tabling)
Maintain over 10% ROI at each level.

I'm currently 10 days into my BR challenge which i started with $142.84. Here are my results from the last 10 days

Day 10

Start Of Day: $226.09
End Of Day: $215.34
Games played: 23
Won/Lost: 11 - 12
Daily Profit: -$10.75

Total Profit: $72.15
Total Games Played: 110
Total Won/Lost: 65 - 45

Bankroll: 215.34

I don't quite understand how starting br (142.84) + profit (72.15) = 214.99 when my BR stands at 215.34...

Hey guys. Still not running well at all. Lost four times with Kings preflop lol. On the brightside i believe i played a good as i possible could for today and can't wait for my hands to hold again. I'm breaking even on a bad run which isn't too bad i guess. Here's how today went.

Day 11

Start Of Day: $215.34
End Of Day: $220.34
Games played: 20
Won/Lost: 11 - 9
Daily Profit: $5.00

Total Profit: $77.15
Total Games Played: 130
Total Won/Lost: 76 - 54

Bankroll: 220.34

GL sir!
Im doing a similar challenge after years of just dragging on in poker, mainly mtt's. I just started y'day.
Ill follow ur progression and hope u do great! Do u play turbo or regular?
If u play regular speed i would switch to 10$'s asap, even with 200$. Players r similar in skill and 20 buyins should be fine as long as u move down once u hit 100$ or even 150$.
I also mostly 1 table, but 2 tables sometimes.

Hey man, thanks for the post. I play reg speeds. I'm not worried about moving up levels but my plan is to get to $250 then go back to 5's if i go below $200. I was crushing the 5's until the last 60 games so i'm confident i'll be playing the 10's soon.

What challenge you doing? Feel free to link it here. Good luck mate.

that sounds soldi BR wise.

im jw do u have a membership to any sites like husng.com?
and how much husng experience do you have?

i was able to move up from 5s to 50-ish fairly quickly main, i think BRM and not tilting/spewing (haha i guess that goes for any game) is the key here

best of luck with your goal!

Good luck with your goals guys!

I'm fairly new to HUSNG's (250 ish games) but have over a years exp of online poker now. I'm looking to sign up to HUSNG.com but i have been learning from free videos on tagpoker.com. Its a great site that has been very helpful with a good community. I would like to get some coaching to help improve my game and plug any leaks i might have.

I've been inspired by previous threads and thought i would give it a try so i started with $50 and have been doing alright since. My tilt control is very good but i do have my moments lol.

Thanks man, I see you're doing well with yours so far. Keep crushing it mate.

Thanks, will definitely try my hardest.

Currently in a 200 game break even stretch but I'm pretty sure thats normal in the Turbos .

Anyways, keep it up mate and it will be interesting to follow your progress.

So did u play today?
And where can i follow badonkadonks?

I'm at: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...inning-991059/

Will be following both you guys, awesome for additional inspiration .

Very best of luck to all of you guys. Maybe get together and do some game reviews for each other too??

I know having other players go over my game every week helped me a ton as I was coming up through the stakes.

Hey guys. Well what was an alright day turned bad. Was 7 - 3 up in games and finished 8-7. Hit a set on the flop in 2 of the games and lost to a backdoor flush.. Can't seem to finish on a good day. I'm overall happy with how i played today and i'm sure things will start to go into my favor again. Got a busy weekend ahead so i won't be playing until monday but will be on here still. Here's how today went

Day 12

Start Of Day: $220.34
End Of Day: $221.59
Games played: 15
Won/Lost: 8 - 7
Daily Profit: $1.25

Total Profit: $78.40

Total Won/Lost: 84 - 61

Bankroll: 221.59

Yeah i think that would help me out alot. Sadly my HEM's free trial has expired so i'm waiting for some additional money to purchase it. If anyone is up for it i would love to get together over skype for a sweat session. Never done one before though.

I'm glad i'm not the only one going through a break even stretch even though i'm playing 5 regs lol. You two seem to be doing solid so far. I won't be able to play until monday as i have a busy weekend ahead but i can't wait to see your progress.

Gl bro.... also playing 5's and messing around in the 10's. Whats ur SN maybe we have played each other before?

Gl with ur challenge, here is my take on the hands:

the A5, u should shove preflop

the AK is fine

the AJ i would flat his 1st raise if u dont wanna 5bet shove

the K9 i would 3bet shove turn or sometimes check behind

the AK, i would either shove preflop or make it 400 so i can shove pot on any flop

the AJ, this depends really on the opponent, but without to many reads and him probaly being idiot aggro. I often call here.

Shove A5.
After the 4bet, just shove AK
Bet ~300 on turn of K9 hand, you need to protect against draws, and get value.
Not sure about the last AJ hand, really read dependent.

Thanks man, At this point in time i prefer not to give out my SN. Can tell me yours if you want and i'll let you know if we have played and how the matches went.

Thanks for the advice guys. As to the last hand. The guy was very LAG. raising 4-5 x preflop and calling everything and over betting. He had k6 btw.

Hey guys. Back after a busy weekend. Today went alright. Starting to run better but still sadly lost two races when ahead. Hope you guys are crushing it. Looking to get some decent volume in tomorrow. Here are my results.
