Hi!

It's bout time for me to start a PG&C. Been here for a while, but only as an outside participant, trying to study a game... After a long break from cash game and pokerz, I decided to prove myself that Pokerstars uNL is beatable, although I've heard different things, such as RiverStars conspiracy, biggest donks at the table always win hands, rake is too high (1 thing that's true ), not winning a good hand for ages etc etc etc lol =) So I've created an account and deposited 40$ to PS, recieved a 1.50$ instant bonus (free20 bonus, you probably know the details, if not f'in google it.... ) to make a fresh start at NL2 6-max and move up the stakes ASAP!!!

OK smth bout me... Pre-Black Friday I played quite a lot, bout 1M hands @NL10 & a couple of 1K hands @NL20 on Ongame (i know, i'm a fish if I played that much of uNL ), slightly winning with a bit of bankroll boost through rakeback (got a pretty good deal of 60% RB there), and constantly cashing out for RL things, leaving roll for grinding NL10.... tried to move up several times but every time I had a good upswing that enabled me to move to NL20, I instantlly recieved a bitchslap there that made me move back down....After getting tired of constantly moving up and down, I cashed out roll and left 100$ which i transfered to PartyPoker, where I after playing my D- game slowly lost that too... Then I took a short break from cashgame and moved to FTP to play some MTTs which were amazingly soft, so i made some profit there, but then I degened it playing cashgame which was surprisingly difficult to beat for me, don't know why but I just couldn't beat NL10 there... then Black Friday came and I didn't play much pokerz but only studying the game and reading 2+2....

Well that's enuff talking bout me, let's talk bout PG&Cs... =)

Broll = 41,50$
Game = NL2 6-max (but will use all free 1$ SNG tickets available and will try to play as many Privilege freerolls as possible )

PGs:
• Move up to NL10 with 20BIs BR rule before September ends (I think thats plausible)
• Play 4-6 tables
• Play 4-6 hrs a day (3 sessions with 1.5-2h of play and 30mins of hand reviewing)
• With 20BI for higher limit, I'll go for a 4BI shot for that limit, if I lose 4Bis I'll move down
• Posting questionable hands after every session (if it's true what they say, then there will def be questionable hands LOL)
• Weekly progress reports with giraffes and stats
• Daily morning workout routine (pushups, squats, lifting 10kg weights, calf raises, breakfast), for body and mind

Cs:
• BRM!!!!!!
• NO TILT
• NO STRESS
• Move up as quickly as possible
• Not spewing
• No cashouts


Now let's go show them Stars, how it's done!!!! =)

well quite a welcome I must say =) i wont take that for granted, since i'm just probably a fish on a heater atm.... =)

played 1h of my first session, 4-tabling, 339 hands and a $14.77 profit !!!!!

i was playing 30/20 and hands held too =) my luck for now, but i know from experience that everytime i went to new poker software they gave me a nice welcome but then they took all back.... =/

a few hands for flaming =)

with this guy i didnt have any history, i suspected i was beat and was planning to fold this flop, but hey i've got a bigstack and implied odds with that gutshot.... =)

            i'm not gonna grind no CG tonite cuz i'm watching basketball world cup, so I'll just play one $1 45man SNG since I recieved a ticket for that... =)

            had a bad session with full of mistakes.... luckily I'm down only 5$.... =)

            forgot to mention in OP that I'm gonna have a tilt stop at loss of 4BI... if i lose 4 BIs in a session, I'll either take a long break and reevalue my plays, or won't play at all, depends on how I'll feel...

            This is also a reminder for me to follow that rule, or I'll just degen my roll away playing my F game.... ;-)

            so I'll keep positive in my mind, make lunch and drink another coffee afterwards, then I'm gonna try to grind my loss back and hopefully to make a bit of profit.....

            and still maybe there will be time before a new session for me to go out and shoot some hoops and breathe some fresh air.... =)

            good morning =)

            only played yesterday evening nearly 2hrs session, grinded back my previous loss and made a whoppin 50BB winnings!!! =) i started this project with 4 tables to adjust and added 2 tables more and saw that i'm able to play good even 6 tabling... im not trying to be a massive multitabler, im focused only on profit, so i can move stakes faster, but while playing i'm 100% concentrated not to play nitty ABC game..... =)

            my stats are 35/25 on 6max, is this too loose or is it ok? and i see my red line also going up in a giraffe, suppose i want to much money from others and they fold to me when i have a monster, and not try to force them to give me moniez... =)

            well, we'll see if i can improve that tonight.... i find myself in a lot of situations where i just dont belive that minraise when I hit my A on turn is really better than my AK in my hand and i lose my stack to a set.... but as i said i have to adjust here in their thinking process too and i'll conquer the limit in notime hahahahahahahhahahahaha

            well, here's my weekly report... i still dont know what to say other than I'm a fish... after 11k hands of 'only' 10bb/100, i can say i'm slightly winning but i'm definetely not satisfied with the results... i win too much nonshowdown and lose too much showdown winnings... guess I still cant belive that fish has anything so i call those rivers like a bitch and they always show up with monster lol.... =) and in those 11k hands i've witnessed such a fcuking bullsiht that almost made stop playing poker... lol @JokerStars.....

            so here's the giraffe with SD winnings, if you want i can post with EV line too, that would be bout 10BIs over my winnings.....



            and stats by position.... please if anyone is reading this to comment this peace of crap.... =)




            thats it for now, i just have to remember my goals and go towards them, and try not to play too spewy....

            also i'm using all free 1$ tickets which i recieved with my first deposit, and playin everyday 100k privilege freeroll, but havent binked none of that yet... maybe with my last ticket i'll win a tourney.... =)

            have a very nice day.... =)
