500k hands and win 200BI in August. - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Goal = 200 BI @ 5nl ($1000) +500k hands played which would make me ~12kvpps which would make me another ~$550 in RB.

Im a 20 year old student from the UK and I would like some money in the bank for when I return to Uni in September. Im Living at home for the Summer with my Parents rent free. I have 57k vpps right now and would like to get to 70k by August 31st.

here is the 5nl graph so far. 24tabling almost 100% of the time.

last 70k hands have been a drag

Are you platinium star? Otherwise i don't see how u are getting 550 RB. And if you are platinium star at NL5 nice hand.

probably a little harder.... you get regs that only play euro tables who seem pretty decent but the fish seem even worse then on the USD tables... But this is only after ~5k hands of Euro so its a little hard to tell...

1850 hands / hour at 24tabling fr? Wow this fast dealing update is certainly not a 5-6% upgrade, more like 10-15 amirite?

How do you remeber what happened 23 tables ago when it comes back up?

Are you just 0% results orientated at the tables? Like you don't care what happened in a few all-in draw until the end?
