For those of you who doesnt know me ( and that's almost everybody cause im not very well known ), i have done a PLO Challenge where i grinded from PLO5 as a first timer, to PLO25 in one month with a very solid bankrollmanagement. I gave some shots at PLO50 and PLO100 by the end of the year showing a profit there over a very very tiny ****ty sample. If anyone is interested to check my blog i had feel free to watch graphs and stuff---> https://www.facebook.com/


2017 has started now.

I took 2 month's off from poker in december and january. Now im fresh and in shape again to go for a good year of poker. And a good year itself

I thought a lot about last year, and about the up and downs you go trough in the world of a poker player. For me in personal i decided that its too much off a struggle to stick to one game exclusevly. So for 2017 i will play three different challenges, in different forms of the game. That allows me to play whatever i think its the most fun right in the moment. And at the same time i have the pressure i need to stay tuned to climb in stakes.


The three different forms will be:

1. Hyper-Turbo MTT's

2. No Limit Holdem Zoom

3. Pot Limit Omaha Zoom


Number 2 and 3 i'm gonna start at NL25 and PLO25 with 30 Buy-ins each. From NL100 and PLO100 i will go with 50 Buy-ins. No goal.Just go as far as possible till the end of the year


The Hyper-Turbo MTT approach is quite different. I start with a 500.- Roll and play everything up to 5.-. = 100 Buy-ins for the highest played tournament. As soon as i have 100 Buy-ins for the next higher stake i mix in some of those. If i fail i repeat the same with regular speed tournaments. Could be interesting to see the difference in between those two.


Graphs and review always on friday. Cause i wont watch'em by myself. Funny hands and posts as soon as impossible.

good luck.

good bank roll planning there, but you'll need to keep track of how much you win in each game format to know when to move up since you roll will be merged. why not just stick to one game so you can learn and improve more efficiently?

Heey!
Thanks man! I wish you good luck too!
Yeah, i work with HoldemManager2 since a year to keep track of my results.
I put in more than 100 hours in theorie between oktober and now. I spend a whole month just analysing my game from last year. Mostly PLO and Zoom. Without even playing. I documented my progress in my blog.

I will most often play NLH Zoom as my main game. Cause im used to play my first session in the morning before i go to work, and that fits just very well cause no table- selection and stuff.
The idea behind this 3 different challenges is that whenever i feel like playing MTT or PLO, i have a plan. A stategy. And especially a bankrolmanagement.
Last year i had like 20k winnings in MTT over all. But only cause i luckboxed some of the bigger ones. Thats what can happen if you play the Big215 with a 3k roll But we all know that most of the time i should have gone broke.
So this year, whenever i feel like playing MTT's, i have a challenge to work on and dont let myself go and spew around money.

All in all i would give anyone the same advise as you. Stick to one game, and try to master it. Thats what i did in 2015 and 2016. I spezialized on zoom games. I put almost the same amount of time into learning the game as playing by itself and i recommend this to everyone.

I just started playing again this year yesterday, so my sample is nowhere right now. But every friday from now on i will show you my graphs from HM2 in all three different formats, so you can see how i perform from week to week.

Im really happy to see someone already replied to this and wish you good luck!

If you have read this thread till here, you know what im up to this year.
I thought it might be interesting to write something about me in personal, cause this is also a blog about making the most out of life, not only poker.
For that reason i will post interesting stuff from the real world too, and write something bout me tomorrow
Cause im in a hurry right now. ;D

I have written over 2h on an article about me, my life, my passions and plans. After i finished i had to log in my account again and everything was gone. Long story short, i do it all over again once i have the time to do so. ;D

Latest date will be next friday, cause every friday is giraffe-day cause i dont watch my graphs by myself during the week.

So keep it up to date. I think this thread will be way more interessting once the first giraffes are out there ( 03.02.2017 ), and we can to talk bout stuff.
