Hi,

Last year I was staked by Mecastyles and traveled the world while trying to make enough money because they passed Gambling Bill in Spain.

I broke breakeven on the year and decimated my bankroll.

This year I will build my bankroll playing on .ES website then go somewhere else when it is high enough.

My nickname is Adanedor

I will be starting with 100 euros and work from there:

LVL1 > 100 > 3s
LVL2 > 250 > 3s + 5s at the start of session
LVL3 > 500 > 5s + 3s at the start of session
LVL4 > 750 > 5s + 10s at the start of session
LVL5 > 1000 > 10s + 5s at the start of session
LVL6 > 2000 > 20s + 10s + 5s at the start of session
LVL7 > 5000 > 50s + 20s at the start of session

Once I reach level 7 I will move and start playing 15s on .com

As you can see it's a pretty aggresive bankroll management with 100 bi, but my roi in this games is 10% so there shouldn't be many downswings.

So, let's talk about goals. I rather have easy attainable goals that will cheer me up when I complete them than failing and stopping altogether. My biggest problem is that I had the feeling of dissapointment and it has brought me many problems in terms of not trying things that I should have.

Yearly Goals:
50.000 Hypers
150 Days at the Gym

January Goals:
PlatinumStar at .ES
1000 games played every week

This first week of the year the "Warm Up Week", I have been fixing my new computer and setup, I even have an xbox controller to play with!

I also played 200 games and I ran like the sun.

LEVEL 2 Achieved on January 4th!

This are the results: (graph is in euros)



So, my bankroll is now at 386 euros, hopefully this week I will get close to LVL4!

Let's start with 1st week of the challenge! 1000 games to be played.

First.

gl mate, time to crush so we can play together again on .com (sun)

Day 1 Week 1

200 SNG Played, I am almost at LVL3!

Graph:



Fun hand of the day:



BR at 493 euros, I will mix 7 3s and 4 5s next session and hopefully I can play 5s only on the next one!

LVL 3 achieved on January 8th! BR now at 517 euros! I will 7 table 5s and 4 table 3s now.

Started the session losing 16 buyins after Grooveshark decided that first song on the station would be Rape Me by Nirvana, but in the end everything worked out fine (I luckboxed the **** out of it)

in b4 lvl 4

Day 2 Week 1

70 SNG Played, achieved LVL3! So now I will mainly play 5s if over 500 in the BR.

Had a session before lunch then I went to the gym and felt tired to grind again. Will go to gym tomorrow morning and grind in the afternoon.

Yearly Graph: (in euros)

gogogogo! gl buddy

gl!

Day 3 & 4 Week 1

Games 270/1000
Gym 2/3

I am taking today off because I am physically exausted from gym and tomorrow I won't be home so no grinding. Friday & Weekend to finish those 700 games and hopefully hit LVL4.

Good luck all.

Day 5 Week 1

Weekly gym goal DONE 3/3!
Weekly volume goal 571/1000

Played 301 games today in 5 hours. Rollercoaster, so many bubbles ! It was great to 12 table and get 60 games per hour, it will make me grind a bit more maybe! Had to mix between 3s and 5s but I am getting closer to dropping the 3s.



Time to enjoy Friday night!

glglgl!

Day 6 Week 1

Bankroll: 612 euros

Woke up late today and watched some The Sopranos, I started grinding later before dinner and got 3 hours in, 75% of volume goal done, will finish tomorrow!

Just finished my second session of the day and I come by to say I have achieved LVL4! First session now with 10s, more run good please!

I have two sessions left today, only 113 SNG more to go.

Day 7 Week 1

Bankroll: 703 euros

1000 games this week played ACHIEVED!

Achieved level 4 too and got in two sessions mixing 10s, second one didn't go so well so I will need to mix in 3s at the start of next week.

Very happy with myself, I achieved my two goals this week.

I will do a weekly recap later or tomorrow. The goal of 6k profit is closer and then I will go back to .com

Curious, how is SNG traffic etc on .es? Are they soft? It always seemed most spanish players I came across sucked .

It's okay in the evening and everybody sucks. There isn't any reg that shoves correctly. Specially on bubble everybody is way too nitty.

This is like playing in 2006 games, only downswide are taxes and more rake and less rakeback, but I am comfident I am a winner at 5% roi at any of this stakes just have to grind it out.

Booom good luck sir. Hope ur Malta ppl are enjoying my chair

I am going to write about some things today so it can be TLDR

Weekly Report

This week was great, I achieved both goals and won money everyday. This new week I will have the same goals.

I can 12 table now so I am getting 60 games per hour, considering this I might go for more volume some of the weeks but we will see, I rather take this year like a turtle, slow but steady because in the past I've failed when I've tried to achieve too much.

Nutrition

I am eating low carbs (under 200 grams a day) and not full Paleo like last year, I will see how it goes and then decide if going back to Paleo or staying low carbs (some sweets sometimes). I am 180 cm tall and I went from 78 kg to 66 kg with Paleo and have more energy than when I ate full carbs so I highly recommend it.

Psycology

Another thing I want to improve is my relationships with others, sometimes I do **** up but I don't notice so it's been helping me to stay open and honest and tell others to tell me when I do weird stuff or **** up. I was very introverted from 15 to 19, as I get older I see things in perspective and become much more aware of myself and my feelings.

I also realised that I've wasted the last 3 years because I didn't get enough volume in, when I won a nice amount I just took long holidays until I needed money again but now I rather start saving up for when I start a family.

Graphs

So I seem to win at showdown and have non showdowns breakeven, NIT style!

buena suerte

Fun looking thread..

How do you think you would change your strat if PS started hyper games with only 10bb instead of 25?

Cojones.

Play more tables because of no postflop.

Took yesterday off because of my cojones and done a session already and won 15 bi, another winning day in the books? We will see. I am not happy because I did do some missplays but what can I expect when I haven't played in 48 hours.

Update later when I am done with 2 or 3 more sessions.

Day 1 & 2 Week 2

Bankroll: 930 euros

BOOM 50 BUYIN DAY!

Monday was day off and I got in 200 games today, proud of myself because I was 200 euros up after second session but I still got the third in for volume and won 30 more!

Played 5s and 3s today because I couldn't get the autoregister to do what I want and it could have opened only 10s and my BR couldn't support that, I will get it fixed by tomorrow and play 8 5s and 4 10s... almost at LVL5!

Made some missplays after I hand where I had A high flush on the turn and he somehow rivered a boat wich I didn't see so I got into shock thinking the software was failing and started to do some random plays because my mind and fingers didn't work together for like 1 or 2 minutes. I was in total disbelief and my trap didn't work... lol

Anyway graph for the day:



GL all

No more heater (rain)

-------------------------

Day 3 Week 2

Bankroll: 751 euros

First losing day of the year!

Was mixing 5s and 10s and ran awful at 10s in the bubble so that was my day, everything I won yesterday gone.

I am proud of myself, after doing the 200 SNG for the day I wanted to keep playing to chase loses but this will either make me more angry if I lose more and burn out for tomorrow. I can still do a 70 SNG session tomorrow with 5s and 10s and maybe it goes well, otherwise back to mixing 3s.
