We used to play HU hypers back in 2013/14 around the same stakes. Great to see how well you've done since then! Best of luck with the future grind too

Nowhere, only have energy for one wife and one house haha

Yea I remember your 2p2 name, thanks

Week 2 review:

Volume fell off on Saturday, ended up being late to start and then just never really got going. Played around 1600 hands. Third week I am going to make sure I update the blog once a day with goals and that should stop me falling behind again. I will just do 6400 hands a day this week every day, still in two minds about how much to push leaderboard or not but there is also some benefit in just putting down consistent volume. Felt I played ok this week, hovering around B game.

Day 11 goals:

(x) 6400 hands
(x) Stretch

Still not running too hot but not too concerned, it's a struggle not to wake up early and finish off leaderboard grind good but I think I will just grind some minor places before the reset and no more at the moment. Often I get $100 extra from the leaderboard but then volumes seems to struggle further down the line, I might try next week a bit of a leaderboard grind but then maybe I'll do 3 big days with a day off after each one.

Day 12 goals:
() 6400 hands
() stretch
() 15 minutes Estonian

I remember your name in the hs husng lobbies on stars and also sweated some of your games (did you have some pokemon as an avatar or smth?).

Good luck with your goals!

Thanks, yea I have a Mew avatar so you're correct.

Was a bit useless with daily updates last week, had 2 extra days off also so volume came in quite short. So I'm on 13 playing days and 2 extra days off. Until new year I'm going to do just do 6400 hands a day and barely touch happy hour. At this point I'll take stock and think about the best way forward. I keep getting baited in by happy hour but then volume tends to fall when i push it so I think its just not worth it when you are playing 4 days in a row back to back. Maybe some exceptionally easy days I'll push it but we will see how it plays out.

Been a tough start so far, winning days have been rare, I've reviewed a lot of my hands and feel my level of play has stayed decently high, just things not working out as it happens sometimes. Think I've been in a very poor run but still break even in ev so I take solace in that.

into the willd !

Hello and goood luck

I hope to see you achieving your goal soon

In a scale from 1 to 10 , how much would you rate this pool in terms of difficulty?

How many tables do you play ?If 4, do you think that your WR would increase a lot if you play less tables?

Thanks!

It's very difficult to come up with a rating honestly. It's also changing, I do think recently it has been quite a tough pool since the rake is high people playing better has a significant effect. I know some respectable regs that struggle a lot in the pool. It also depends what wr you are aiming for. If you are ok with -2bb I would say its not tough. if you want 1+bb I'd say its very tough.

I play 4 tables. I think it would increase slightly but not dramatically. I review a lot of my hands and think I am doing pretty well as picking up the nuances of most hands. I do notice some mistakes I do where I fold a hand without thinking too much when I really shouldn't or call when its not good but I dont think that happens enough to tank the wr. I also know the pool pretty well at this point so I already have an idea of my approach against most people.

Week review:

Volume fell off a lot, just ended up with a lot of house work things that needed doing and some technical issues and then I just fell massively behind volume and had too many non-playing days. Played two days instead of 5 so instead of posting a week graph I'll just do an end of month review.

Month review:

Was quite a tough month overall, volume not where I want it to be and ev also much lower than I'd like, I have done a lot of reviewing and my game seems solid, so I'm not overly concerned the challenge is having too adverse an affect on my wr, but always possible of course. Nonetheless, I keep grinding and see how it goes.

Going to come up with a challenge for this month to keep me on track. Would like to take a 5-10 break over christmas/new year so I'm going to set myself the challenge of once I have matched my hand total from this month I can take a break for rest of the year. So I will try and complete this by the 21st December. So 13 playing days, 86416 hands, so I need to keep the pace of 6650 hands a day, starting today.

Week review:

Caught some heat this week and wr almost back to 0 after 100k hands. 16 playing days done so still quite far behind where I would like to be, even if I have had a few days off more than planned. Goal next week is to hit volume goal 4 days back to back, then do same again on saturday. Mini goal is definitely helping at the moment. Since I set that I I have averaged 6481 hands per day, I need to do 6650 to keep on track, will hit it every day next week and then maybe in the last week I up the volume so I can finish a day earlier and take a break for Christmas on the 19th.
