Good question. I usually only play evenings EST time so I might not have that big of a sample on some of the more well known regulars. I also have only played about 250k career hands at 100nl+ so my sample is pretty small.

This is my career 100nl+ results:



To be honest, not many people stand out to me. I define a top reg as someone who is playing almost everyday and puts me in a lot of difficult situations.

Some people who stand out to me are:

- mrcklwsk
- Nahrven
- PeixeFeliz
- Bianchini99

I can't think of anyone else right now. I am sure I'm missing some people. Maybe this is cocky and my results surely don't show it, but I feel like 100z is still pretty soft and I'm not really afraid of anyone or respect a lot of regs game.

Rake at this stakes is insane. Check out for alternative rooms to play with good rakeback.
Wish you good luck and hope you start winning again.

Weekly/Monthy Update

I finally had a winning week. First time since May.




However, it was a pretty brutal month.




My goals for June were:

- 75k hands [X]
- Mark hands while playing to review []
- 15-20 hours of PIO work/week []
- Discuss hands with friends daily []

Overall, it was a pretty disappointing month. I didn't hit my volume goals, mainly because I was just sick of losing every single day.

July Goals

I am going to have the same goals as last month. Like I said in a previous post I committed with some friends to 90 days. This was only the first month, so two more to go before I will reevaluate if I want to continue to put more time into this game. I'm doing all I can to improve, but no matter what I do, it seems like I can't make any progress. In fact, it seems like I am getting worse. I'm just going to continue to do my best, try and stay positive and hopefully things will turn around. It feels like I have come too far to quit. Like Eric Thomas says "Get a reward for your pain!"

- 75k hands
- Mark hands while playing to review
- 15-20 hours of PIO work/week
- Discuss hands with friends daily

I've played with you quite a bit and you're definitely one of the best 100z regs out there. Keep your head up, results will come. 200/300K breakeven stretches aren't that uncommon even for the best winners in the pool.

Two winning weeks in a row. Let's keep it up!




I also had some chest run good. I guess the Pokerstars reward system actually does reward the losing players over the winning ones



I was tempted to play 100 the past couple days, but I stayed disciplined. I am probably going to stay at 50 a bit longer. I don't want to be overconfident just because I had a couple winning weeks. I might mix in some 100 regular tables though if the spot is good. We will see!

Not too much to report this week. I am pretty happy with my volume though.




I also reached out to a high stakes player outside of my CFP and he gave me a couple tips which I was really appreciative of. He plays a more exploitative style and it was interesting to hear some of his ideas about the game. I am definitely going to try and apply some of those things going forward. Let's keep this good month going!

I ran pretty well this week. So far this month has been good.




Still not too confident in my game and my approach though. That's why I am hesitant to play 100z again for now. I know it's a paradox. I feel like without results I won't be confident, but I can't get results without being confident first.

Something Nick Howard has talked about a lot of his recent Instagram live streams is most people underestimate variance. They don't realize how likely is it to go on 10-30 buy in swings and for some people that crushes them and makes them quit the game. But I also think people overestimate variance. They think that if they win over 50-100k hands, they are beating the stake when it's possible they are just running well.

That's how I feel right now. Although the past few weeks have been ok, I'm hesitant to believe things have turned around for good. So lets see how the rest of the month goes and then I'll reevaluate then.

Disappointed in my volume this week, but I had some personal stuff going on so I couldn't play a couple days.




I think I am going to start to mix in 100 again when the pools are good. Let's hope for the best and close the month strong!

Weekly/Monthy Update

Tough week. However, good volume after last week.




July was a good month. Finally back in the green.




My goals for July were:

- 75k hands [X]
- Mark hands while playing to review []
- 15-20 hours of PIO work/week []
- Discuss hands with friends daily []

I didn't hit my volume goals due to some personal stuff and it's summer and I love to golf haha.

August Goals

I will have the same goals as last month. I know I shouldn't be results oriented, but I really want to establish myself back at 100z. I know I can do it and the pool is never too hard. It's unfortunate at night EST time lately the 100z pools have sometimes less than 75 people and more than half are 2+ tabling. So I will still have to probably mix in 50z or look for another site like Bodog that has more volume during that time.

- 75k hands
- Mark hands while playing to review
- 15-20 hours of PIO work/week
- Discuss hands with friends daily

Let's end the summer and my 90 day game plan strong!

Maybe one of these times I will run well when I move back up to 100!




I had a coaching session last week and found a couple of big leaks to work on. So I will be working hard to fix them. Hopefully this week will be better!

I had a pretty good week for a few reasons. I had a winning week, I won $700 from a chest and I ended my CFP contract.





I just want to say publicly bitB did everything required of them. We just came to an agreement that it is mutually beneficial to end the contract early. I have nothing bad to say about them personally and I wish them the best going forward.

Hopefully one of these weeks I will run well at 100. I will say it feels good to be playing on my own again.

Weekly/Monthy Update

Ok week. I also had a deep run in the Hotter 11. So close!





I still can't seem to break through and stick at 100. This was also the final month of my 90 day game plan with some friends. As I posted a few months back by the end of it I was hoping to be shooting 200, but that obviously didn't happen.




The 90 day blitz/game plan was a good idea, unfortunately some of the people I was doing it with ended up falling off and it wasn't what I hoped it would be.

I also said if I didn't start to see progress I might quit and focus on other things, but recently I have found some new motivation. I think it's partly because I am out of the CFP that I was in so I feel free, but it's also just because reaching high stakes is something I really want and truly believe I can accomplish.

So I formed a new 90 day game plan group with some new players who I think are more serious and dedicated with the same goals to be shooting 200 by the end of it. I learned a lot from the last one and I feel like this one will be a lot better.

September Goals

- 75k hands
- Establish myself at 100z
- Mark hands while playing to review
- 15-20 hours of PIO work/week
- Discuss hands with friends daily

Lets see how the rest of the year goes!
