Allright I am getting closer to the $100!

I played a session today and I won $8 and my bankroll is now at $87. I was a bit lucky in one hand where I chipped the turn with toppair and the short stack called with his trips and I hit my 2 outer on the river.
But overall again a great session where I got my money in with my set of 8 vs Toppair.

Next to my sessions I had given myself something to learn. It was playing 3-bets better. After some reading and practicing with flopzilla I feel that I am more confident in playing 3-bets and see what it will bring in future sessions.

I did a session tonight with just 1 table for 90 min and it went okay.

I managed to grow the bankroll to $89. Didn't happen that much but I miss played one hand with TT where I am not proud off. Take a look at the hand below. Other all-ins where pretty good.

Check out my graph of all my hands on 5NL this challenge

Good evening everyone. I did another session and my bankroll reached the $100 dollar mark!

I feel that 2NL and 5NL are pretty good beatable with the strategy I am using at the moment. There isn't much 3-betting going on and they pretty much represent what they bet at the pot. It is all about your self-control and don't lose to much when I have air.

I am thinking about trying a shot at 10NL when I reach a bankroll of $150. Allowing me to drop to $130 for the attempt.

Keep my head down and focus on the horizon.

Yeah biggest session win of this challenge, I made $19,50 in one session!

This brings my bankroll to $123. my bb/100 is 17/100 on both stakes together with a total hands of 17.800. So I can assume that I am beating these stakes.

Lets continue the grind to a $150 BR.

GL to all my fellow poker players and their challenges

Because of my biggest win session today I will show a funny hand that helped a little...

Sunday,

After my first session of the day the bankroll is at $135. I will be playing some more tonight and maybe enter the 5,50 PKO series on 888.

Maybe i am going to take a shot at 10NL but not sure yet.

Keep you posted

Allright,

This is what happend.... i missed the $5,50 PKO tournament, I played a 20k freeroll winning $2 and I played 10NL. My bankroll is.... $137, so not much happend but that is okay.

Next session will be on 5NL again trying to reach a $150 bankroll.

Night night

yeahhhh!

I did a session today on 5NL and it went good,my bankroll is $150. That means I can take my 2nd shot at 10NL!

Allright I took another shot at 10NL tonight and I did won $4 but didn't play great..
I should have lost $5.

I bluffed a few times that got called and not very happy about the bluff. I tried to 3-bet a bit more but not really liken it yet..

I have to see what I will do next session maybe slowdown a bit with the bluffing and 3-betting. Because I think they still play pretty tight so by 3-betting lighter I am playing worst hands in bigger pots..

Night night

First and last session of today.

I played on 10NL again and I was planning on 3-betting less lightly and bluff less. i think I succeeded in doing that. I still did more 3-betting then I was used to on 5NL, but when I did I was like 85% of the time IP.

I won $8 and should have won $8. So pretty happy about the session and the way I played. Bankroll ATM $163.

I got a little bit of a buffer for 10NL now..

Good morning all,

I have been playing a longtime on the microstakes.. Bumping up and down from 2NL, 5NL and 10NL.. I feel like I have a better mindset in these levels then ever before.

If you would like some help with your hands and thoughts about them, feel free to post a hand of your choice of a 6-Max nolimit Max stakes (10NL).

And I Will Shine my light on the case and see if it helps you..

Have a good day all

Another short session on 10NL

I doubled my money with a flush in a multiwaypot and I was lucky one time SB vs BB villian was shortstacked and I reraised allin with TT and he called with JJ, I hit a T OTR.

bankroll $175

Did a session today and won $2. I had a couple of coinflips 1 loss and 1 win.

Bankroll ATM: $177

Did a session tonight and it didn't go well.. I lost $17. I think I over did it with the 3-bets and checkraises on flops. Lost it all with no-showdownhands..

Bankroll ATM $161.

Next session a bit less fancy plays (stupid plays)

Well as agreed with myself to play less fancy... It worked.

I did 2 sessions today and won $23. Bankroll at the moment $184.

What I find on this stake 10NL, people still play pretty save and not to fancy. What they bad is what they have.. Bet big, big hand. Bet small, small hand. Not that many bluffs in big pots.

Well sweet dreams

first update for today's session.. I was a bit lucky on the coinflips. I think I had 3 situations where I was a bit more then 50% favorite and won all 3.

Bankroll $198.

The last session of the day went pretty smooth. Not that much happened but I still managed to win $6 and that brings my bankroll to $204.

I am pretty happy I went over the $200 bankroll. My plan is to keep grinding to $250. When I reach $250, I will try to grind for a week and everything I earn above the $250 bankroll I will cashout. After that week I will continue the grind to $1000.

This way I am making some money when **** hits the fan. I mean if I move up to 20NL and you lose your first 3 coinflips its back to the grinding. I need to keep myself motivated and by taking some earnings of my account in my pocket it will give a satisfied feeling and a feeling of a good return on my initial $12.

Well first I need to reach the $250.

Night all

Here is my graph of the beginning till now (2NL - 10NL)

Last session of the day. I won $14 and was a bit lucky..

I had an all-in with KK vs 2 villains ( QQ and 88) My KK survived and took down a pot of $28,50.

Bankroll $218

Night night

Did one session today and I won $3.

I made some good laydowns but also made a few mistakes in my opinion.

Here are the hands where I think I should have played better:

Hand 1

Turn: (35.8 BB, 3 players) 9

Here I should have called the turn I.M.O.

Turn: (24.9 BB, 2 players) Q

In this hand I think I should have made a small bet on the turn so he could continue the hand with more badhands or drawhands.

Well Night night everyone

Allright my first real setback is here. I played on 10NL and I called 4 allins lost them all. With that being said I also wasn't on my A-game. so my worst session of the challenge is a fact.

Bankroll $179

I am still breathing but need to sleep it off.

Night night

We bring
