Road to 1.5 million hands of 1c2c cash in one year Road to 1.5 million hands of 1c2c cash in one year

07-01-2021 , 03:59 AM
Starting 1st of july 2021, ending approx 1st july 2022.
I will be posting a fortnightly result of the graph and hands played, whether in the positive of negative.
So every 2 weeks approximately from this date sometimes a bit late, I will post a graph of hands played. I am aiming to play 6-9 tables and 3,000-5,000+ hands a day.

Can I play 1.5 million hands of 1c2c cash game nl poker and possibly some omaha? in one year? It doesn't matter if I end with a profit or loss it's about the volume and seeing if I can do it possibly, I've done the math and know its possible.

How will I support myself to spend 5-12 hours a day playing poker and watching netflix? I'm on a disability support pension - some fortnight graphs or monthly will have results of less or more hands on average played.

What is a disability support pension?
It's a disability income for people with disabilities it provides enough money for housing, food, water, internet etc.

How much do you think you can make or lose?
profit wise approx 1-5k usd + 500+ rakeback on ACR.
loss wise maybe around 100-300 usd if I lose.

Will you take breaks?
Some days I may watch TV or only play a few hours.

Why not higher stakes?
If this is successful I will move up stakes to 2c5c and try again, whether I made it to 1.5 million or not. And the year after 5c10c.

Background in poker?
Played S&Gs on pokerstars & cash on 888 poker for around 7 years from 2010-2017 until the ban, in 2020 I only played about 100k hands on ACR across S&Gs and cash.

ACR alias?
Not gonna say encase someone hunts me down and makes my play more annoying then it's already going to be.

Do you think this is achievable?
Yes, I will need to play approx 8-9 hours a day 6 tabling on my laptop that I just bought and I will be sitting outside as well sometimes or taking breaks and laying in my recliner in the house playing, I will need to play approx 300 days out of a 365 day year.

Do you think this is possible? you don't have to respond to the thread I know it is possible and achievable and I only like 6-9 tabling, whether I turn a profit or not it doesn't matter, after a year I'll move up stakes. I will also be playing some type of sample of hands at the casino down the road (live in the city), at $1/3 maybe once a fortnight for a 8 hour session.

Thread started see you in 2-4 weeks with a screenshot of the graph.

move up sooner, playing 1c/2c for year straight is silly honestly the stakes are all similar from 2nl to 50nl anyways by that i mean gamblers, fish, recreationals, beginners are at all these stakes 100% 24/7 basically so as long as bumhunt dont autopilot too much and dont play 6-9tables (you wont be thinking your make far too many big mistakes miss way too many patterns etc yh dont do it) if are multitabling use a hud, if not or not using a hud play 2-3tables tops and think watch hands not in too pay attention action hands shown down from where actions and look for things to attack or creating mistakes.
play 2-5tables tops anymore is silly i think cause you wont be thinking as barely anytime unless folding everything but really nutty hands pre.

whats your disability if dont mind me asking... i got back issues myself and some other sh*t going on, but was just curious.
as wouldnt recommend playing that many hrs on your arse if have option either if can move....? move get exercise in regular breaks when can dont force yourself to play get an itch to move do something else move even if fish there on table just forget it as theyll always be more take breaks when feel it need it and exercise.
your burn out otherwise some point.

also this is on topic but off topic dont check your results or bankroll or graph too often honestly i personally always seem to have better results play better when i dont check anything how much up or down a session or day or think about the money at all, checking results and graphs ****s me up mentally not sure why.

play 2nl till you made $60 then check your bb/100 in your graph and standard deviation plug that into https://www.primedope.com/poker-variance-calculator/ then that will give you a guestimate as to bankroll needed so then you either continue to grind 2nl till you meet that bankroll requirement or you may already be there and move up then move down if drop to whatever buyins for the lower stake, then play that next stake till have however many buyins it says then check winrate standard deviation for that stake rinse and repeat (thats what id recommend doing at least, not that ive been good following that advice myself lol).

Good luck but dont waste time playing 2nl for a year there all similar up to 50nl anyways, for example i got into poker through gambling in the first place it was just something i slipped into by accident, what games did my gambling arse start at 50nl why cause i was (still am) a gambler 50euro £50 $50 was enough to give me the sweat while playing i looked for meaning i lose it mean something and hurt.

later on i just fell in love with the game for the games sake more and also think more i played understood patterns i kept seeing less i was getting a sweat from holdem anyway as it just became oh this is breakeven bluff breakeven call this a really profitable bluff this slightly profitable this is big fat mistake losing this marginal mistake losing not much in grand scheme of things etc etc so holdem stopped giving the in game sweat really quick actually, omaha though the deepstacks and nature of game and lots of multiway pots deep sweat still existed lol whether done right thing or not.
really only way i get sweat on with holdem now is if i sit with all my money in account on 3-4tables or something.

whatever you do good luck and hope your well healthy as can be given condition whatever it may be.

this is another bankroll scheme might be worth trying out
https://gothooks.files.wordpress.com...r-bankroll.gif

(if only i followed a bankroll plan myself lol, lost £420 on roulette last week, keep shooting myself in the foot with things, need to break the habit pattern myself).

if have discipline and dont mind playing with a big bankroll honestly id say play omaha theres bigger edges to be had in that game potential winrates are way higher forsure, think the multiway pots and deepstacks tables makes it so and just people being on average worse at it for some reason (which kinda of dont get as omaha actually easier to understand workout postflop your value and your bluffs cause of the 4cards more information, whereas holdems actually way more complicated really cause just 2cards and think its far more bigger picture math game messier, so id say aslong as games are safe not some wierd bot collusion rings get good at Omaha think it makes you better at holdem for what its worth bucketing certain hands boards runouts etc etc for value or bluffs).

oh dont play zoom or fastfold games (mean dont not do it but i wouldnt recommend it but might just be cause im atrocious in that format really bad, i kind of need table dynamics and patterns to spot pick up on and game flow, well dont need it but the zoom games the dynamic messes with my game quite a bit i dont play zoom anything like regular tables really, they require different approaches well not regular tables you could play regular tables like you play zoom but i cant play how i play regular tables at zoom cause its just not the same man).

anyway good luck have good year, and hope your health improves

burnout is real. what your hoping to accomplish is both not worth it and likely impossible.

I know, but I use to play video games 10 hours a day as a kid and not move, dota, dota 2, cs;s, combat arms etc.

I've played a few million hands in 7 years but never attempted something like this.
it's either watch tv or watch tv while playing 10 hours a day.
I only got to play 2k hands today, but am aiming for 3-5k+ a day.

I'm either going to sit down watching tv or I can sit there with a laptop and watch tv at the same time. not in it for the money, it's about volume. win or lose, don't care about $ any more as I've aged.

Good Luck! I don't hate on anyone's insane quests after all, I am the guy trying to catch a Muskie on a fly rod in the Midwest.

As others have said just move up whenever you feel comfortable doing that and have the bankroll to do so, you'll improve more and if you're going to play that much you could end up at highstakes instead of 10nl in 2-3 years

I could do this on play money, I decided real life cash so I have graphs people can look at, it's not about money. it's about volume.

Understood. But if you have a winrate move to NL5, and so on. Or it can become a bit monotous and you may burn out. Poker is more fun when you improve and learn new strategies.

if i wanted to try other strategies i would play other formats the game of poker is the same at every stake there is just different meta's being played. I can play a nit style, abc tag, tag and lag at 2nl. I'd prefer to play s&gs but they rarely start on acr.

Moving up stakes would add to a possible long term win rate, i'm not in it for the money. I've browsed some 5nl tables they play almost identical until you get to higher stakes where you see so much better players and have to open your range and make much harder calls instead of just prem, lag, abc tag, tag, and nit or just spew-tard.

I want a sample of at least 1 million hands at 1c2c which would be a great input to the internet and myself for people to view and understand it's about volume not cash, like I said I could play, play money. and have a win rate, but there is almost no structure there because it's free all though it is the complete same game. By no structure I mean, no-one is risking anything, so the meta is spewish and then prem. I would like to at least play 1 million hands and have a shot @ 5nl, and see how that plays out and the meta. Long term over millions of hands I doubt I would even win 1bb100 so seeing how much rake could be made would be nice.

by the way there is no official bankroll I started with a $100 USD deposit, the bankroll is almost "infinite" in terms of this stake. this is about volume only as a study and experiment for myself, it's up to you if you want to tune in.

I'm going to stop posting so much now, and just post my graphs from now on.

I will be collecting most of the rakeback and not claiming it on ACR unless I need to top off my account screenshots will include the rakeback earnt for the fortnightly or monthly graph.

shutting this thread down decided i'm going to try play a few million hands of tournaments/sit and goes instead and put the volume/sample in after thinking about making some money instead. just over 6k hands in I made the switch the grind is way funner and more comfortable grinding through cash is notoriously boring/swingy I'd just be playing for rakeback. going to try play 20-30k+ tournaments s&gs a year instead.
