Decided to make a PGC to help myself motivated and directed.

My plan is to take 3 buyins shot with 30 buyins, play 4 reg tables, and play 4-5 hrs/day.

Im gonna try to update the thread daily with my progress and with the most fun/interesting/ridiculous hands.

Longterm Goal:
[ ] Beat 25NL

October Goal:
[ ] Beat 5NL

Started shottaking 5NL 3 days ago and this is how it's going so far:

Update:

5nl



Bankroll: $197

Super comfortable at 5nl now, people are super easy to run over and fish are fish no matter the stake.

For the coming week, I can improve my volume a lot, but other than that I'll repeat most of this week (i.e. making good game selection and playing good), and hopefully can shottake 10nl really soon.

The hands you posted are str8 forward. Search Deeper for some crispy stuff.

GL on the challenge! Hit me up If you wanna talk poker.
SK.

if you think 3betting, coldcalling 3b, and stacking off pre w/ Q6o, T4o, QJo, 54o are all straightforward, then i dont wanna talk poker with you

took a 3 buyin shot at 10nl last night and lost 2 buyins due to losing 2 preflop allins

Good luck with your challenge. I just posted my PG&C thread but I'm starting in 2NL and want to move up to 50NL. The last two hands are bad beats. Where are you playing btw?
