Good luck man. What stakes do you grind at?

Grinding 2-10nl at the moment after coming back from a 60 day break. After I receive another hour or two of coaching I'll be ready to grind 10 and 25nl while taking shots at 50nl by the end of the year. That's the plan!

Tomorrow I will try to remember to mark more bad beats and suck outs for this thread. Today was very bumpy!

Oct 21st Update: Decided to start playing 25nl again. Will be playing mainly 25nl and sometimes 10nl if tables are worth it. Receiving coaching from a fantastic coach next Monday that I might livestream (PM me if you want to watch).

I look forward to putting some volume into 50nl by the end of November.



Tomorrow's a new day

10-50nl today



13,098/75,000 hands played!

Will get back on the grind first thing tomorrow morning!

Oct 27th Update: Had a coaching session today. Proceeded to crush souls more consistently afterwords. Playing mostly 50nl now and 25nl as well.

Here's today's graph. Probably put more volume in later tonight.



Stats to date:




Have another coaching session tomorrow so looking forward to plugging my mental game leaks!

Oct 27th 2nd Update:

Probably do another session later on tonight. I can't get enough poker!



16,044/75,000 hands played

Oct 28th Update: Crushing souls.

Today's graph:



17,716/75,000 hands played

Oct 28th 2nd Update: Decided to print another $100 bill

Oct 29th Update: Games seemed tough today.

I was debating whether or not I should go back to playing on carbon because the volume is better, but decided I'm going to stay on BCP and keep participating in the beast.

Won a little on Carbon.



And BCP for today



20,707 / 75,000 hands played!

Oct 30th Update: Tables are BCP were tough and scarce today. Carbon had a ton of fishy tables running today. I wonder if they're always like this... Gonna put some more volume in there. If they are then fk the leader board.

Carbon:



BCP:



23,828/75,000

Oct 31st Update: Today was bleh again. I've been feeling fatigued Thursday and Friday, but I'll hit the tables again Sunday after a 24 hour break TGIF! Won $25 on BCP but still lost $70 today on Carbon. Didn't make leader board this week on BCP because I've been playing on carbon a little instead. Games are softer there.

Over all I've made over $700 this week between BCP and Carbon which is nice for my first week playing full time

BCP



Carbon



23k/75k hands in!
