hello hello 
It's been some time now since the last update,
After the last time I left you (two weeks ago), I didn't play good for the first few days of the week, I didn't tilt much but I was frustrated by the way I played and it caused me to check my results after just 1 losing day and then I got frustrated I checked the results as my main goal was not to check them and ye I just wasn't in the right mind.
After those few days, I took around 2 days off to reflect and focus on improving those mental problems/mistakes, and at the start of this week I got back to playing well again.
Even though I think I have played very very good this past week, volume was really lacking,
Goal for the next week is to really get my volume up as before (aim maybe for 15K hands including apps?), as I feel very confident in my game and mental is in check.
Also, a cool thing happened this week, as I had a study session with someone I met here on twoplustwo, we shared some thoughts on certain spots and things outside of just strategy (game selecting etc.).
Goals this past 2 weeks:
1) Played ~13K hands (~5 K on the apps, ~ 8K on GG)
2) Studied a lot, didn't count the hours, but did well.
3) Meditate ~7/14 days, again I didn't count the days but that's a good estimate.
4) Worked out 8/8 times
Results for GGPoker:
Total Results (GG Only):
Money won/loss from the tables: -499.29$
Rakeback: 194.47$
Total won/loss: -304.82$
Results graph for the app games are not accurate, as hands from anonymous tables are not imported to HM3 (which are about 20% of the volume).
Graph for regular tables only:
Total results app games (Accurate, including anonymous tables):
Money won/loss from the tables: -339.37$
Rakeback: 87.62$
Rebate: +21.07$
Total won/loss: -230.68$
))
In for a better week, good luck everyone

First kind of a big downswing, just been breaking even for a long while now, down 914.53$ since binking the jackpot on 10.05.2022, 801.56$ of that is from GG and 112.97$ are from the apps.
I am not upset about the amount of money lost, but I am more upset about how much time I haven't made profits. As being down 900$ isn't a big downswing, I mean I play mostly 100NL now and that’s only a 9BI downswing which is more then normal, not having a profit for almost a month and a half now with poker being my only income is pretty heavy on me.
I don’t know, I hope sharing it will somehow ease me, as I know other players go throw the same thing.
Gonna be focusing and keep going with somewhat of a clear mind, bankroll is just above 7.5K$ so I will still play 100NL unless I lose a few stacks.
Also, I might start updating results every two weeks, as I get my rakeback/rebate for the app games every two weeks, and it is most of my volume. If I see that I do have a solid volume on GG though I will update next week (I wouldn't count on it).
Goals this week:
1) Played ~6K/15K hands (mostly apps)
2) Studied ~ 5/7 hours
3) Meditate 3/7 days, very unhappy with this one since I did meditate everyday last week, I wanted to keep that going.
4) Worked out 4/4 times
Results for GGPoker (past week):
Total Results (GG Only):
Money won/loss from the tables: -160.21$
Rakeback: 17.84$
Tournament: -50$
Total won/loss: -192.37$
Results graph for the app games are not accurate, as hands from anonymous tables are not imported to HM3 (which are about 20% of the volume).
Graph for regular tables only (past two weeks):
Total results app games (Accurate, including anonymous tables):
Money won/loss from the tables: -285.82$
Rakeback: 87.70$
Rebate: +40.54$
Total won/loss: -157.58$
I don't mind sharing blue/redline for GG, but I haven't played much there this month and I don't think it will mean anything over such a short sample.
As for the app games, I prefer not to share it, as I play far from theory there and do high exploitative plays.
Sorry, but I promise when I'll put more volume back on GG (which I am sure will be soon) I will share it.
damn that was a long one, almost an hour and a half to write and work out the numbers xd
3 weeks before flying to Portugal for a vacation, lets turn it around!
Good luck

Sorry for not updating the past ~5 weeks, I was very busy for the first coupleof weeks and only today I came back from a 2-week vacation in Portugal.
So, allow me to update you with everything that was happening:
About a week after my last update, one of my close friends cameto me with an offer to open a new business together (A coffee shop inside a bigfitness center, selling mostly coffee and protein shakes/bars).
After a few meetings I was very into the idea and we started to getthings going (meeting up with the owner, looking at expenses etc.), this causedme to not play much poker (did play a bit tho) with two weeks left for my flight.
NOW, during my vacation I had giving it a lot of thought, anddecided to back off of the idea, as I would like to further pursue poker, andif I would decide to go with the business, I wouldn’t have time to play pokerfor at least the next year (until we will get more employees and we won’t haveto be there all day).
So what’s next for me?Poker, poker, some more poker, and some working out / friends.
My next big trip is right after the world cup (end of December),and this one is a big one as I am going to South America with my friends for4-12 months (the duration depends on many factors).
This big trip is very common in Israel, after we are done with ourservice in the army most of us do a big trip and explore different parts of theworld (some do South America, some do the far East, America or Africa).
Anyway, that leaves me with about 5 months left of poker only (anda lot of football at the end )
Goal for next *month* is ONLY to play 100K hands (from27.07-27.08), a huge amount for me, but I will invest less time studying thismonth only.
Also, I will try to not go overboard with my workouts, as I did go5-6 times the past weeks, and tbh I don’t care much about bodybuilding and such,my goal is just to stay healthy and it helps me focus and play better.
Oh, also I'm back on GG and pretty much quit the app games fornow, I am still able to play there and got a balance there, but I found myselfnot focusing as much and playing YouTube on the side when action is low, itmade me play less as I didn’t mix in GG when the tables were dead and just Ijust didn’t improve as a player.
So the next 100K hands will almost all (probably only) be on GG.
Results would probably be updated every week, maybe more often,maybe less, mood depended.
*For the guy who asked about blue/red line, I will add it on the100K hand graph when I am done with it.
Results since last update (as I did upload every single handplayed since started this blog);
Results for GGPoker:
Total Results (GG):
Money won/loss from the tables: +226.22$
Rakeback: 109.01$
Tournament: -30.24$ (126.06$ in BI)
Total won/loss: +304.99$
Results graph reg tables only (no anonymous) for the apps:
Total results app games:
Money won/loss from the tables: -220.82$
Rakeback: 23.18$
Rebate: +24.24$

Hey
It's been 12 days since last update, and it's Monday, so just gonna post the results;
Ran really really bad (especially the past week), played very good (IMO), mental game is at its peak (enjoy playing, motivated, not results driven).
Volume can still be a bit higher, but blame the premier league and FPL for taking a lot of my time.
Results:
Also, hit a "small" jackpot couple days after coming back (I am not allowed to complain about a runbad ever in my life):
Total Results:
Money won/loss from the tables: -364.17$
Rakeback: 216.35$
Jackpot: 1066.88
Total won/loss: +919.06$
we keep going

Am I just a break even 50NL player? I mean I feel like I am playing well for most of the sessions...
Anyway, it doesn't really matter, because even if I am just a breaking even player now, I work so hard it just a matter of time until I will become a winner in those games :P

Hello
So the month/challenge has come to an end
Very disappointed with myself
My work ethic wasn't as high as I expect from myself and as I did the months before,
Had to many sessions when I wasn't fully focused, and lacked some motivation to fully connect to every spot.
Even though I knew I won't study much for this week to try to reach more volume, it just caused me to play league during breaks and waste my time.
So long story short, I basically "failed" the challenge :P
Gonna take this as a learning experience though and keep moving forward, organize my days better, include more study time, and start meditating again.
Results for the whole month:
Total Results:
Money won/loss from the tables: -819.25$
Rakeback: 548.41$
Jackpot: 1066.88
Total won/loss: +796.04$
Lets crush it this month gl everyone
