What's sup guys. I'm going to make this short and sweet. My goal is to get from micros and get to high stakes as fast as I can. One of my good friends is playing high stakes and he has been giving me tips. This is where I am going to share my results, my failures, my success. If you want to follow the journey come watch.


Last month I started playing and taking poker serious. Here are my my results:

2NL and 5NL



Overall not too bad I think.

Goals for November:

Play 20-30k hands

Learn more about thin value betting on the river

Bet more on turns

+1 following a microstakes journey! Looks like you're off to a good start and just gotta get that redline up a bit more to start making the nice steady profits! I'm doing a microstakes climb myself and it would be nice to follow each other through

Here is the update for the month of November:






Mid way through the month I hit a bump....I started to catch some heat at the end of the month. I got into some tough spots that I have been working on. I am currently playing on ACR and that's the only site I can play on as of right now.


My focus this month is BVB I am under folding in some spots and not check raising enough. Overall I think I did a good job bouncing back and staying consistent with my study and play. I'm not forcing it. The biggest thing I can do right now is have a good routine and keep doing the good things I did last month.

December goals:

work on BvB defense drill everyday these spots


play 20-30k hands

Well December wasn't really what I wanted for results but I learned a lot. I knew I should of stuck to reg tables and stayed away from zoom on ACR.

December Results:





January I am just going to play reg tables and game select hard for chance to move up higher to 50nl

My goals for this year is to play 100-200 and get there as fast as I can.


January goals:

play 15-20k hands

study and drill 1-2 hours a day.

review every session to -6bb and +6bb hands everyday.

get a hobby so my full attention isn't on poker.

Good luck everyone.

Hey man volume looks good! I agree with reg tables and table selecting harder to boost your winrate. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, looks like you only lost around 700bbs and probably weren't running so hot as indicated by your showdown line.

Sup guys hope all is well man. So here is my update for the month of January. I took shots at 25nl and 50nl. I was having some really good success at 25nl. at one point I was up like 6 buy ins but I hit a big road block and dropped down some buy ins. My redline for some reason just took off. I really don't know why haha but my blue line is tanking now. Overall this month has been really stressful trying to implement some new things my coach wants me to do. Even though I didn't when a lot even though I was close to! I think I'm headed in the right direction.


THESE HANDS WERE ALL PLAYED ON ACR.... Idk if ACR is beatable. Its the only site I can play on besides Global poker. But I guess we will see.

So next month goals will be:

February goals:

play 15-20k hands

study and drill 1-2 hours a day.(didn't do this last month as often as I wanted to)

review every session to -6bb and +6bb hands everyday.

get a hobby so my full attention isn't on poker.(still need a hobby haha)


Good luck everyone.

Yea i'm late haha didn't really want to post this. last month was probably my worst month playing since last September. Idk if its a mental thing or something but every time I take shots above 10nl I just tend to not do too well. Idk really know what to do but just keep playing and fixing my leaks...yea...I had a coach review my hands for the month and there was a lot of hands that I got married to. Next month im going to really try and not punt as much as I did last month.






goals for march

stop punting

play 15-20k hands

study and drill 1-2 hours a day.(didn't do this last month as often as I wanted to)

review every session to -6bb and +6bb hands everyday.

get a hobby still haha

Sorry boys I didnt update in April. It was a long one haha. Basically I went to Vegas and it was a ton of fun but almost didn't make it back alive home. Had to take a few weeks to regroup and make sure my body was still able to function.

I played a few poker hands down there didnt really do to hot but yea still have lots of fun.


So basically I am still trying to make it to higher stakes but I decided to document the process on all platforms. I started a bankroll challenge that will be taking $300 dollars and turning it to $10,000 by the end of the year. We will be going from 10nl and up to higher stakes.

I created a document that everyone can follow as well.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

its a google spread sheet that will documenting my bankroll and my weight loss journey as well.

My fitness goal will be to lose 100lbs by the end of this year. I know these are some big goals but I intent on keeping up with them. If you all want to join and watch the day to day process join my discord channel and check out my youtube channel as well.
