Got your attention with the title Sorry for my possible poor English, it's not my native language, coz i'm from Finland. I'll try make this short. I have played poker for about 8 months now, I have deposited around $260 to PokerStars, bought PokerTracker 4 small stakes license, and bought the HUSNG.com CoffeeHUD (hate myself for that). I started playing with having no clue of the game and wanting to be a professional which has been my dream since I was 11 and saw Rounders for the first time
I lost all my deposits $10-50 at a time and my final deposit was about 1 months after I had started playing and it was $30 I lost all of it but $7 played one $7 hyper husng, had about $14 and started playing $1.50 husng hypers. Moved to $3.50, started to try 6-max hypers, tried nl5-nl10 cash, moved to $7 husngs lost 50% of bankroll, grinded 3.50's, back to 7's and so on...
Last November I tried nl 0.25/0.50 Heads up CAP (and when tilted I played some normal 50nl heads-up) , won like $500 after 12k hands, lost all of it back the next 10k, The highest peak of my bankroll was at $850 and I was so excited that I finally found a game that I can beat with very high profits , after losing back to around $350 i wasn't anymore

Graph of the heads up cash run:



This January I set myself a goal to keep my goldstar vip status by playing enough $3.50 6-max hypers, I am 300VPP's short but they will come soon. I started playing on 1.1.2014 with $403, played some 3.50 6-max hypers got to $700 in a week, started playing 7's got up more, lost some won some, got to $919, lost few bucks, tried $15 hyper husng's lost some and now I'm sitting at $574.42 + $10 VIP stellar coming very soon, and I can also can buy the $75 VIP cash "prize" after 150VPPs or so. And I also have already bought a ticket to the TCOOP event 1 which is on this Thursday, $50k+ here I come

January Graph:



My goals: Win TCOOP event 1 to profit $50k+, grind $3.50 6-max hypers till death, or when bankroll is $1k (I will move to 7's at 1k), I really want to be a nit with my BRM coz I can't stand variance at all srsly. I'm a huge fish in that way.


Cliffs:
- Wanted to be a professional poker player since the age of 11
- Turned $7 to almost $1k by grinding not gambling ...in 8 months brag or not?
- Will start grinding the $3.50 6-max hypers and make my way to billions of $
- Will win the TCOOP event 1, on January 23 for $50k+
- I will not quit playing poker until I have made at least one million dollars (and why the hell would I stop then)


Lifetime graph after final deposit, cash+tournament on PokerTracker 4 (I have deleted some tourneys and hands accidentally but only a few and they we'rent huge on $$$):


I will be updating this thread hopefully everyday. And post my graphs + how much my BR is. And answer your questions if you have any

Sick volume today, played 16 tournaments -.-, I was super tired and just couldn't play any more or I would have fell a sleep. Tomorrow I will be grinding a ton and also playing the TCOOP event 1, $27 buy-in 6 handed MTT. That's my first ever 6-max MTT and and I think that I will do better on that compared to normal 9 handed tourneys, because I really can't stand the constant folding and then I start playing like 98s UTG with 50bb effective stacks

Today's graph:


Tourneys played today: 16
Tourneys played since the start of challenge: 16
Profit: +$2.77
Bankroll: $577.19

So I did not win $50k today. I ended up busting soon after the lottery part of the tournament had begun, as ~5000 out of around 25000 players, with Q6o shove from SB with around 11bb (there were also 12.5% of bb antes) BB called with A7o, and rest is history. Played very few 6-max hypers today coz I was again super tired and just watched some Simpsons etc. I realized very shortly after the TCOOP had started that my HUD didn't work, tried to figure it out and then I realized that I had the small stakes version of PT4 and I was playing a $27 buying tourney I also got the $10 stellar reward today which is always nice

Graph of today:


Graph since start of challenge:


Tourneys played today: 30
Tourneys played since the start of challenge: 46
Profit: +$5.59
Bankroll: $582.78

Your blog sounds interessting, bad luck Pokerstars won't let you win YOUR #1 TCOOP event like planed :P

I hope you will bring some content about the 6-max hypers, coz I'm playing them too right now

good luck

GL Op, Grind hard and stay focused. You'll get that 1Mil eZ
