One question... earlier on in the thread you mentioned a weeks free CR membership as some reward for some fairly low volume achievement? Could you please give details of this offer???

It's not for me, as I earn enough FTPs to qualify for free CR membership, but a friend really wants to get into CR, and make use of the fantastic resource, but doesn't play enough at the moment.

Thanks in advance, and will be keeping track.

Not sure if this is how you currently get your free CR, but you can earn free week increments of CR here based on volume.

I'm folding pre-flop there. I think a medium pocket pair is too weak to continue vs. this villain, even though he's 25/14. On the flop I'm hating any T or higher, and I'm OOP. As played, I can't say I'd play it any differently.

Can we keep this thread about Verneer?

Seems a bit stupid allowing people to just post random hands etc or their own results. Just clutters things up and takes away from the focus that is Verneer's progression.

Where are the mods?

January 18th Update:

So far, all eight days at 25NL has been in the green:



Today (4K hands) could have been much, much better. In fact, if a few hands go my way today, it could have been a ten-bagger. Alas, I'm happy with a win. Anything which moves me in the forward direction of my goal is great:



I also did a sweat with a few friends and it helped solidify some ideas necessary to win at this level, specifically folding. It's your friend

Thanks for this thread Verneer. I watched the free video of your micro challenge on CR and the advice about tightening up has helped a ton. I'm up 10 b.i. at 5nl rush in the last 2 days.

Hey, what? A follower wins a sweat session with you verneer?
I've totally missed this, but I've been following you for a while. Do I need to do anything to qualify?

2K hands in today ... pretty break-even. I have a feeling it's going to be a big volume day.

How many hands you tipically play in any given day

I experienced the same thing this morning - I cut back to 1 table for a while so I can focus on my game more. Almost 2 hours this morning (~1k hands) and I was up $1.36 - no big hands, just lots of blind stealing and folding to cbets.

[ ] lots of excitement

I've averaged around 4K/day.

Verneer do you plan to switch from rush poker or do you feel your volume would be hurt too much? Also, do you think it would be more difficult to, say, get the same amount of volume like 12-15 tabling 25nl? Do you feel you would lose more of an edge there than 4 tabling rush?

No reason for me to switch from Rush - it fits my needs. I'm not concerned about volume for the sake of volume - just trying to run $200 --> $10,000 as quickly and efficiently as possible.

In general, I think my edge is highest where I'm playing right now so I'm going to stick with it.

Broke out of my morning slump with a sweet + 5 BI session.



Also, my $450 EOTY Iron Man bonus just got released so I am within striking distance of $2,000.

Seems a bit cheeky to include the Iron Man Bonus in your bankroll and thus using it to aid reaching your goal (a fairly significant $450 too).
Obviously in the long run if you can reach $9550, you could obviously reach $10k, but most people who start off with ~$200 don't have these sort of bankroll boosts coming their way!
Congrats on the great work, keep it up!
