Hey Everyone,

I've been posting here for quite a while now and figured it was time to start my own PG&C after putting it off for so long, so here it is!

I've been playing ZOOM 6-max on Pokerstars exclusively now for about 2 month's and before that i was playing the 6-max ring game's. I've worked my way up from 25nl, through the stakes, and am now playing a mix of 100nl and 200nl ZOOM. 2012 didn't exactly go the way i wanted it too, mainly because for the most part, i have been super lazy So i figure it's about time to make a change! In 2013 i'm going to attempt to make Supernova Elite playing 4 table's of 200nl ZOOM and also 2 table's of 100nl ZOOM. I get 430 - 450 VPP's per hour playing this 6-tabling mix, so it will take me about 2275 hours to achieve this ;( And i want to be done by December so i need to average just over 50 hours per week!! So far i have mixed result's at ZOOM, i seem to do well at 100nl and not so well at 200nl, though admittedly my sample for both is very small and imho i feel like I've mostly ran like aids so far at 200nl ZOOM! Probably didn't help that the same time i moved up to 200nl i also added two more table's of ZOOM haha, stupid idea i think!

Anyway here is my 100nl ZOOM graph so far:



I'm winning at 6.12bb/100 over 100k hands with an EV winrate of 4.63bb/100.

200nl ZOOM not going so hot like i said, regs are definitely considerably better and there are quite a lot less fish there imo, still a very beatable game though as i haven't ran very well so far:



As you can see either i'm getting crushed here or running bad, maybe a bit of both tbh. I'm fairly confident that long term even 6-tabling i will have some sort of positive winrate there though, although more than likely pretty small. My winrate here so far is 1.08bb/100 with an EV of -0.52bb/100

This last graph is 100nl ZOOM, 100nl ring games and 200nl ZOOM combined with Supernova rakeback. These are pretty much all the hand's I've played since moving back up to 100nl:



So $11.6k total profit for the last 3 month's or so, with a combined winrate of 4.91bb/100 and EV 3.42bb/100.

As you can see from the redline in the last graph, I've changed my game a little recently, and am hoping to see some positive results from it soon! Though i have been mainly break even pre rakeback since moving to 200nl which is not all that much fun tbh

So my goal's for 2013:

1. Make Supernova Elite.
2. Profit at the table's (i would like to hit an overall winrate of 2bb+/100 but considering the massive volume and being forced to play when i don't want to i'd take anything over 0.8bb/100 tbh)
3. Keep this thread updated regularly to track progress.
4. Apply for and obtain Pokerstars Online Pro status (more of a dream than a goal, but anything is possible if i work hard)
5. Keep up my solid gym routine and eat well.
6. Finish SNE by start of December and take a looooooooong overdue holiday somewhere hot with the gf!
7. Get ahead of pace in Jan -April and make >100k VPP's per month.

I also may update about my gym going/routine/progress, i am some what of an aspiring natural bodybuilder and have been training on and off for over 8 years now. Had a solid routine for at least 2 years non-stop though. I live in Solihull, UK, just outside of Birmingham, and go to Ironworks gym, which is just about the best gym ever, and that helps a lot with motivation I am 25 year's young.

Anyway, I've probably missed a ton of thing's, and will answer any question's. But GL to us all in 2013 (apart from if your in hand's against me obvs)

Gl subscribed

gl, i did read hot gf btw

Good luck!

Maybe we coud exchange some rungood? I run like aids at 100 but like god on 200.

subbed and GL with the challenge Mike!

GL bro! A thread i will follow for sure!

Think i'm going to go for SNE too in 2013, so will be cool to see you track your progress for it.

GL sir

GL mike, will track your progress

Gl mike inspiring thread !

Gl,
Subbed,
I have alkost the same challenge, and i recognized your avatar if you have the same on stars we played some hands together today on NL100, so this gl does not work when playing agains me )) cheers!

Gl man, really hope you can hit your goals this year (and your dream too!)

I will make life as easy as possible for you at the tables :P

Get on the griiiiiiind!!!

Gl Mike!
2013- teh** year of shipping all the money
start pumping out that volume mate

why do you play zoom instead of regular tables? do you think the games are equal in softness or just an easier way to get volume in?

glgl.

subbed!
glgl, and what youfail said can you bring some light onto the reasons for zooming instead of regular tables.

GL Glanza, im sure you will do well

This point is huge and if you're at 400k VPP end of April it will be so much easier to finish

How many VPPs did you get the last 3 months of the graph u posted above?

tyty, and Meca you read it right imo

Ty Sir, would definitely swap rungood at 100 for 200 in a heart beat, let me know where to apply!

Ty bro, GL in 2013, not that u need it Haha, i pretty much expect that from u tbh....

Yea i had a quick read through your's this morning too, GL. What is ur SN, mine is same on Stars.

Ty fishy though i don't believe a word of you making easier, i get 3bet every 6 second's when ur around gl to both of us next year!

Need moar dollars imo, thanks mate.

Just chose ZOOM for SNE purposes really, normal ring games with table selection definitely softer imo. But i can't get as many hands per hour in and therefor wouldn't make SNE tyty

Good luck sir!

Let's get those dammmn 6 black stars!

i guess its hard to be accurate but SNE is ~$105k and say u break even you make $105k, do you not think its possible to make more money playing regular tables without SNE?

also considering ud probs move up more often and itd be way less hours.

As you know I haven't been active on these forums for a year or two (apart from browsing) but just wanted to wish you GL and I'm looking forward to the updates.

Thanks mate, yea i want to be over 400k by then, hopefully around 420k+ need a few weeks off in December to chill after this monster imo. Made 53k VPP, but most of it was 100nl and next year most will 200nl well 66% anyway, and i'll be playing than that each month also

Hah, yeah buddy, GL super grinder your hands/month are insane

Yea, I've thought of a few different way's to do it tbh, not sure i would beat 500nl ZOOM, though that would be the easiest way! I think/hope i'll profit at the tables also, so that should be more like $150k not $105k so it's worth it imo. Obvs i may well not make it, as i haven't put in this kind of volume before, we shall see in time.....

Hah, thank's for popping in out of retirement for me, i feel honoured

GL, subbed

Good luck to you!

I predict that this thread will be awesome. GL man, will be rooting for you 99% of the time

GL with the chase! Guess I'll play with you a lot if I choose to go for SNE as well (not sure yet)

gl op - subb'd for sure
