Goals:
[ ] Go to sleep before midnight
I think I've failed this 10 times since I made this thread

Anyway, I have 3 midterms this week so I won't be playing anymore.

[ ] Don't play poker before midterms
[ ] Study for midterms

What's up Pita tough beats. Solid goals though good luck crushing. Don't worry about passing midnight if you can still get 8 hours of sleep, but i'm assuming only weekends in your case.

Meant that as if the games were really good, playing your A game, or you were in the zone studying for either poker or school.

gl pita,lol.

Ouch those are some monsterous coolers/bad beats going on there, hopefully variance will be on your side soon and you'll crush it! good luck

I have class at 8:30 on weekdays so most of the time it means I'm not getting enough sleep. And if I stay up late on weekends it makes it that much harder to go to sleep at a decent time on Sunday night.

gl pitapita.

Midterms done!!! Back to poker!

Hand 6: First hand I played. Pretty sure it's terrible.
I think I should have raised pre and checked behind river.

Most of those r horrible coolers. Some you're overvaluing one pair tho. Eg hand 13 when fish c/c flop turn then donk shoves river you're dead, u have to be able to fold there

Villain is a huge fish, like 60/40, does this still make it a fold?

gl man i'm on a similar challenge but even smaller stakes. grinding $5 to $100 currently playing 2nl 9-handed (up to $25 after 3.5k hands). What school you going to? I'm a uni student in Montreal.

gl to you too, you'll be there in no time! I'm at Waterloo.

Why? You're welcome I guess...

Yeah c/c, c/c donk shove is a classic line fish take with nut hands. Unless you've got a read that he will do this with rubbish, or that he will c/r raise his monsters on the river, the river is a fold.

After losing 15ish buyins at 16NL and 25NL over the past few weeks due to runbad/playbad, I'm back at 10NL to grind it back. Biggest downswing I've ever had and looking forward to more in the future...

On the positive side...

February giraffe. Next month hopefully he will be eating leaves from a really tall tree.

Bad start to March... got all in 2 hands in a row against the same guy. I just sat at the table but I have 87 hands on this guy and he's 20/15 with 3.3 aggr and 50% cbet out of 6, 0% fold to 3bet out of 2.

Hand 15: Nothing beats me except 33, but I'm not sure if he would put in so many raises with anything less. Could I have folded?

Hand 16: I wasn't quite sure how he would adjust to me after the first hand but most likely it would make him call my 3bet lighter which would give him more flushes and make him more likely to call my 3bet with a small pair. So I'm not sure about this hand either.

whats going on man are you busto? or no more time to grind with classes?

Exams... haven't played for a while but will be done on the 19th and then I'll be grinding ZOOM.

yea i'm in the same boat, next 2 weeks are insane then will have tones of grinding time in may. im up to about $82 in my challenge to $100 so should get there easy in early may (i've been grinding zoom too). GL with exams!

Just finished exams!!! I wish you well if you still have any left. I'm probably going to make a new goal thread just for ZOOM this summer.
