Becoming a winning 50NL reg in 2024
05-05-2024
, 05:08 AM
Gonna try to hold myself accountable and improve my volume by starting this thread.
My goal is to move up from 10NL and become a winning reg at 50NL with a minimum winrate of 5bb/100 over 100k hands by the end of this year.
I started using a tracker in Oct 2022 and the graph starts from there:
I will be playing reg tables only on stars. I plan to update regularly with hand histories, etc, and once a week with my results.

I got absolutely destroyed at the tables today. Coolers not going my way and running bad in 3BP and 4BP. Haven't checked, but I should be down at least 5-6 buyins 
.
I was planning to grind for 4-5 hrs but decided to cut my session short since I'm not having fun anymore.
Won't post big losing hands since all are super standard. Ended my session right after this hand just to feel good

You might find your C game improves along with your A game. At some point your C game might become your old A game. Something that was really powerful for me was when I know I’m tilted, stop my mind and go play simply 5-10 more minutes before closing session and be mindful about coming back to calm. Slowly and surely my tilt lasted less and less which allows me to have much longer sessions (have done well up to 10 hour sessions, used to lose my mind after just 1 hour. now 1 hour is bare minimum for session) and perform much more consistent even when the cards may not go my way.

I got over tilt by playing through tilt. It is just an emotion it wont last forever. The problem is if you quit every time you are upset you wont be playing much poker. A lot of things go wrong when we play. Once you accept the variance in poker you wont tilt anymore. Things you can do on the tables is make sessions shorter until you put together a few winning sessions and feel better about your game.
