Hey,
so I started a challenge thread a month ago where I tried to play 300k hands in a single month which I didnt succeed to put in. Anyways, I will try to move up to nl200, but if ill play 100NL by the end of the year i would be content as well. This year should look something like this:

April - 25NL
May - 25NL
June - 25NL,50NL
July - 50NL
Aug - 50NL
Sept - 50NL,100NL
Oct - 100NL
Nov - 100NL
Dec - 100NL,200NL

Shottaking will solely be based on my roll and if Im gonna feel comfortable beating my current stakes.

My YTD graph:



I will also try to put at least 150k hands (or 150h if ill play less tables) a month and will try to earn 200k VPPs this year. Hope you guys will keep me motivated as you did at the start of the previous challenge, so here we GOGOGOGO!!!

    Gl dude, those are solid attainable goals imo. Make sure to get in enough study/review time. That is the key to maintaining/increasing your edge over long periods of time. Glad to see 25nl is going well. Feel free to send me hh, no charge. Keep this updated!

    GL dude, the volume is sickening. With the right attitude/expectations I can't see a reason why you can't do this. Give 'em hell yo.

        I know, but i made the 5 bet a bit bigger (we were clicking it back) to make it look like im committed. Dont know if thats why he folded tho.. Anyways, this was the first time i did it so was happy about it.

        rofl, funny 5b on paired board hand. It's one of those situations where nobody's repping anything.

        I CIB on boards like this sometimes, too. But personally I might feel tilted feeling entitled to the pot or something so lately I've been telling myself to chill and just focus more on the profitable n profitable spots.

        Respectable volume. You play up to 10 tables 6m, right ? That's about 800 hand/hour I guess ?

            Be interested in your thought process in hand 2?
            What were your thoughts on villain? His stats?

            Villain was something like 18/14, 3b 5% but his 3b against SB open was something like 17%. The previous two times i open raised SB as PFR he 3b me, i 4b him once to which he folded.
            So i opened, he 3bets me, i 4b looking to just take it down cuz he knows that I open light in SB, knowing hell 3b me light. When he 5b i know that he knows that i 4b him light just about w ATC that i opened with based on our history so i assume he will 5b me just about his whole range that he 3b me with (which is wide and bluff heavy). Another consideration was that we were a bit deeper and he left himself 80bb in the stack, even tho he looked committed (i assume thats what he wanted to look like to appear stronger) i thought i had a lot of fold equity so i shipped and he instamucked. Hope that helps

            And of course A9 is a good hand to do it with
