Thanks I actually just played another session of 500 hands while I was waiting for a download to finnish and made another $6
Glad to hear you're running good what are you playing?


edit: Oh yeah sngs now i remember :P

Yeah going to shot take the $7 Reg speed 9 man soon. Probably this weekend pending how I run during the week.

Wow I'm such a nit...









Anyways NOW I'm really done for the day finnished with 3717 hands played and +73.7$

Nice Hope you run good and crush the 7s!

Heh, your first post is almost identical to what I was about to post, except you're 10 years younger than me and have a bit more ambitious goals for number of hands played.

I just need some of your rungood and we'll be 5-bet bluffing each other at the Zoom 10NL 6-max tables in no time.

Very impressive run so far!

Just played a session of 20 mins, Playerpool was pretty nitty so I decided to take a break and play more tonight. Had a couple of good hands so managed to win a bit more than $7 tho

2 biggest winners



My min check-raise ott looks really nutty but I still decided to raise hoping he held a good ace, didn't want to risk him checking behind otr with an ace or let another diamond come which would kill my action from an ace.





Here I put him on a pp worse than mine since he didn't raise pre. Think I might have raised the river a bit too much.









Biggest losers


I think this maybe should've been a flat pre? I didn't put him on KK+ since he didn't reraise me pre.





This hand I'm quite unsure about... I bet the flop for value and the turn I also bet for value against hands like AJ, AQ, KQ or flushdraws
Then on the river when the flush is complete I decided to bet fold thinking that I might still get value from KQ, AQ, AJ but that I was dead if he raised me
























Haha thanks Hope we will see each other at nl10 soon gl

played about 1k hands and had another nice win

This session:




One thing I need to work on is to keep myself motivated when I'm winning. If I play a few 100 hands and am up a couple of buy ins I kinda feel like my work is done for the day. I have to start thinking more longterm and realize that it's better to just keep grinding out a few thousand more hands. I've still got about 8.5k hands left to play this month to reach my goal so can't slack off too much.
Anyways next month I'm going to have some hard fpp goals and vip status goals to keep me motivated to grind alot

Here's the complete graph so far br is at $310.5

Nice little spike in the graph. I am running alright myself, keep it up mate.

zzzz

Running great above 2nl

Teach me please ! Running hot ! Keep it up

Thanks ^^it's easy, just hit some 2outer and you'll be fine lol. Naah but seriously just try to maximize value and don't call off when you're most likely beat

Today I've played 3600 hands spread across 3 sessions (less than 3k hands left to complete my 70k hands goal ).
I ran pretty bad at nl5 and got set over setted and had some other setups. However I finnished my first 2 sessions at 5nl up almost 8 bucks so I can't complain At this point my br was up to $330 and I decided to give myself a 3 bi shot att 10nl just for fun.
The shot started out pretty bad and early in the session I played a TP really bad which cost me about 150bb. At 5nl I would've gotten away from the hand but I talked myself into getting it in because "they're probably just making moves at this level"
After this hand I started to focus and played pretty well Made some successful bluffs and also started to run good again. After almost 1k hands I finished my shot +3.5bi

Here's the graph from today

Was thinking about grinding some more but think I'm gonna devote the rest of my day to study some theory

studied for about 30 min then I though "screw it! Who needs theory when you run like god". So I logged another 700 hands and ran my br up to $409. Up 86.47 bucks today which makes this the new winningest day for me


I'm not really sure about my raise ott. Think I should've made it bigger so that it would've been easy to get the money in otr. I'm also not happy with my bet on the river. I think I should've made an overbet shove since I don't think he's raising with just an ace but I do think that he would call any amount with just an ace there, not sure tho






Going to sleep now gn

It's funny how your brain works. When I started playing I was making plans on how long it would be before I moved up. I figured that I would play approx 200k hands at nl2 then 150k hands at nl5 and then move up to nl10. I was imagining how it would feel to play nl10 and how cool it would be to actually be able to make like 100$ some days. I thought it would feel a lot different from nl2 since the money you can win at nl10 is actually enough to buy something (by my standards) cool every month (assuming you're good). But now after only about 3k hands at nl10 it already feels like nl2 did. I don't think of the chips as money at all. Now I'm dreaming about how it would feel to play at 50nl. But I'd imagine that if I ever get up there, it still won't feel very different than nl10 moneywise. Poker is poker

Anyways.. I only played 230 hands today at 2 tables. Worked late so I'm really tired and don't wan't to play anymore today since I probably won't be able to make my best decisions.. Still running hot tho and were able to win $21 today.

Like I said, I'm so tired from working late I actually feel ******ed. So if this post/the english doesn't make any sense I apologize :P

Had a really frustrating session today. Have never seen so many setups. But somehow I did finnish the session up about $3 so no worries My graph just got less beautiful




Febuary update

So now I've been an online grinder for 2 weeks and these 2 weeks have been lots of fun and I've been running good

Gonna try to update where I'm at with the goals everyday

Going to get started this weekend, and start grinding my way up. Only played a few thousand hands at various levels, was winning till i got to the 25NL level, and lost my play money. I haven't played any Zoom but may give it go. Keep winning!

Played another session and now I'm done with poker for the day. Played about 5.5k hands and it has just been down, up, down, up all day long. Hade some pretty sick coolers, got set over setted twice, ai pre with KK vs AA 3 times and flopped trips vs fullhouse etc. I started to doubt is I really was ready for 10nl. But I actually think I am. Sometimes you just gotta run i bit bad I guess Finnished the day up some bb but according to ev it should've been a bit more
I probably shouldn't just blame the session on running bad tho. I started to autopilot after a while and made some bad decisions. But I'm still pretty happy with how I played today

Guess I wasn't completely done for the day

br is now $500! wiiie


I'm gonna try do post hands more often next month... Here's one anyway

GRATZ ! Post some interesting hands and your thoughts on them thx

The hand I posted earlier is pretty standard I think. I check the river to induce a bluff from a missed draw + possibly induce a thin valuebet by an AJ or something. I think if I bet there's not many hands I have beat that will call me so I won't get much value from betting, but some hands that will fold to a bet would bluff if I check.




here's a fun but not very interesting hand. Tho villains line is pretty intersesting








This hand was pretty thin. I think I could have flatted the 3bet and got it in on a blank turn. I could also have folded to his 3bet OTF. But when he donks out so small it just seems so likely that he's trying to draw cheap and I kinda didn't buy his 3bet. If he had a set I think he would donk much bigger and if he had QJ I think he would go for a check-raise.. So I just decided to go with the hand






In this hand my sizing on flop and turn is a bit bad since it leaves me with an awkward stacksize OTR. But still OTR he doesn't have to fold very often for the bluff to be +ev and I don't want to give him an oppertunity to bluff the river with his busted draws by checking to him. I also think I might get him to fold a Top pair since I've played the hand like an overpair. he also timed down a bit before checking which I think often indicates that villain is trying to scare me into checking behind.

Oh and here's a fun hand. I have no idea what UTG is doing in the hand

Thanks man Let's just hope things will keep going my way for a while. Have a feeling I'm just a donk on a heater that will go bust soon But I'm studying a lot now so hopefully I can prevent it from happening

Just got a trial for parallels. This makes me able to run windows on my mac so that I can use a hud when I play zoom from now on should be helpful
