Hello all,

I am starting a log to keep track of my progress. I will be updating regularly with graphs and hands. I am currently playing 25nl and 50nl and my goal is to get to mid stakes (hopefully by the end of the year).

I will be playing no more than four tables of 6 max at a time in order to improve. I started with $250 at 25nl and won at 9.5bb/100 over 10k hands, now i am mixing in 50nl and will be shot taking with 10 to 15bi for the next level ie $1000 to $1500 for 100nl. I will move down when necessary. When i hopefully hit 2/4+ i will make sure i have at least 25bi before moving up.

It has been over two years since i have played poker somewhat seriously, i used to be a 400nl regular several years ago.

graph since i started my rebuild from $250 on June 1st.

Lets do this!! gl all

Forgot to mention BR is sitting at $700 exactly, so far my 50nl win rate is 5.5bb/100 over 11000 hands.

Good luck with your challenge, i started also 1. Turn $1500 into $10.000 on the micros.

GL on your mission, know when to move down if you would hit downstreak... hopefully tho everything runs well and you score bigtime , GL

Thanks, my br management will be fairly aggressive moving up hopefully its not too swingy

Good luck to you too Jeep! I am following your thread. p.s. you are starting at small stakes not micros haha

Done for the day, played a bit of zoom (hence the number of hands) but did not enjoy it. Will be sticking to normal tables.



BR = $795

Good luck to you! I am doing a similar goal but I'm starting @ 10NL trying to hit 50NL by the end of summer, my thread is somewhere in PG&C. If you ever want to discuss hands or strategy feel free to hit me up. Subbed!

Thanks man, you too!


I had a solid day +$260, bankroll is at 4 figures now. Played two to four tables for roughly 3 hours all up. Ended up picking on regs instead of table selecting as much. Also spent about an hour reading Xinzhong Yao's book on Confuciansim and another hour doing plyometrics as its my rest day from the gym.

I am open to psychology type discussions as well as fitness talk (do you even lift?). Giraffe below. BR is at $1049. 100nl soon.

Posting a few hands, some are butchered and looking for feedback.

Villian is 23/19/12 over 400 hands.




Villian is a spewy reg in this next hand




Villian is a tag reg who has been 3betting quite a lot. Any thoughts on my flop line? good or bad?

Not so good of a day, ran like crap vs fish. Played lots of funny hands tho. Will post some below. Today -$130. BR at $924.

I lost stacks to this fish who was a complete spazz and did not fold anything. This was going in pre btw.




Same fish, me bricking the nuts.








This is vs a 65/33/15 i refuse to fold ever haha







Thread saver for chit day

Spewed a bit early on today which got me stuck a few buyins, got back on track to finish +$39, BR at $963.

Felt like today needed saving as well

Interesting hand. He is one of the more solid regs at 50nl in my opinion.

Care to explain tough process there?? I think i got it but not sure.

Also, subscribed. Goodluck buddy

Thanks dude

My thought process was to catch bricked draws, or do exactly what happened and hope he value bets something like TT, or even QQ as im sure he flats that pre sometimes. Basically i felt there was more value in checking the river. If that makes sense haha.

Would you ever bet missed flush draws in that spot?

GL man, will be following!

It depends on villain, in this case probably not.

I just saw your thread, GL to you too dude

gl men !

in, gl! give us a brief history of your poker background, and is your sn public?

tyty u too

I may do this later on Gl to u too

Terrible day running like crap, going round in circles bankroll wise. It feels like iv been stuck at 50nl forever now, but its only been a couple of weeks meh. My winrate has gone down to 4.5bb/100 at 50nl which i feel is low 4 tabling.
Bankroll at $815

Stupid regs spewing

I got this dynamic perfectly set up, 3betting him tons he had enough of it obv.





AA aipf is meant to win sometimes?





Def needs saving today

yeah, dont get too tilted by it - if you havent played properly in a couple of years it will take time to readjust to the games...by all accounts poker has got a lot harder in the past coupla years also since BF. 4.5bb/100 sounds good to me!

also - grats on the threadsavers, some of the best ive seen

Thanks dude, yeah you are right although i dont think they are that much tougher. I will aim to move up stakes every month (at least through to 400nl).
glgl

Following! Now I understand why u were confused by my nitty approach on BRM. GL man!

Best of luck! Continue with the solid game selection that you obv have been practicing and finding decent spots to take shots and you'll be back to msnl in no time. Def would not recommend zoom (saw in one of your earlier posts that you tried it out) for lower stakes because that rake is pretty tough to beat.

Haha yeah

Alright done for today, kept it a bit shorter. Bankroll is at $920 +$100, although HEM profit only shows +$50ish?

Biggest pot today vs a fish, nothing interesting happened overall.




No savers needed today

Thanks man gl to you too, following your thread! As for zoom i feel it is more auto piloting, which is fine with a solid game plan. I prefer standard games tho, as you can build a stronger dynamic vs regs, table select fish etc..especially 4 tabling. I'll hit you up when i reach your stakes maybe talk poker haha

Everybody wana 3bet but nobody got the balls to 5b jam. These 10%+ 3betting regs really hate giving up blinds to my min raises on the button
