Week 11 Update

Heeey there, happy 2023! Starting off 2023 solid! I deposited 300 onto the chico network (betonline) and am playing the $7 plo8 sngs now alongside the 6.60s on global. Running super hot on betonline and tanked in global at the end.

The week was fantastic, need to tweak a few things in my games, my cash rate is just a tiiiiny bit low compared to the best player in these. They have a cash rate of 47% mine is around 44% which I need to improve.

Overall though I can't complain, I again didnt cash in the 5k bonanza, that tourney is the devil, lol. I plan to put in a TON of volume in after Wednesday of this week.



So the plan moving forward is to continue to grind the hell out of the 7 and 6.60 plo8 sngs for a long time. I will mix in a few mtts when the BR gets up. We are closing in on the 10% mark ($1k) for the challenge!
Motto for the year is, in the words of Rihanna, work work work work work work work. Put in the work/volume and results will come. You can't win 20,000 tournaments without playing 20,000 tournaments.

Week 12 update

Made it to the 10% mark! 1k in profit.

Had one solid day this week, the other days were pretty break even or a loss. Ended the week with a win as well. It seems im not playing as good as I can, but also lots of variance kicking in. The week was okish.

I plan to put in more volume moving forward so hopefully we can run good.

Week 13 update

The struggle on Global poker continues, still made some money but Im struggling to get a win rate that im satisfied with in the 6-max tourneys. I think I might move the money from global to ACR after this week to play the 16.50 hi/lo mtts. Betonline is fantastic because the sngs fill very quickly. I had an unfortunate downswing at the very end of the week, down about 8 buy-ins. Other than that I felt it was a solid week.

Game plan will be to just play sngs for another week and then transfer the money from global to ACR to play MTTs. Then the challenge should start cooking! Overall i'm not super satisfied with the results im getting right now as I see there are other players with higher win rates, which makes me want to keep learning how they do it.

Week 14 update


Hello everyone. Well this week was certainly fun, I started off telling myself I was going to start playing PLO8 mtts, and of course I bricked the first 3 I played, I played a $22 one and re-bought twice and lost so it was -$66. I can afford it but it certainly left a bad taste in my mouth so I will be sticking to $11 and 5.50 mtts. As you can see after the first day or two things REALLY turned around. I took 2nd in a 5.50 and two 3rds in $11 PKO. So if it wasnt for the $22 tourney I would be up another $66, but such is life. All of the mtts btw are going to be on Chico (betonline) for now.

It was quite the whiplash after those first 2 days last week, pretty much just straight up after that.

As far as global poker goes, idk, I feel my winrate on that site has dropped down in the 6-maxes, I love the site but i'm kind of discouraged playing there as it seems the 6-max's for me are tougher now or I need to adjust so I didnt play much on that site. Also the traffic is less. The bulk of my playing has been on betonline and will probably stay that way.

I did dip my toes in the $22 PLO8 6-maxes on global, they only run during the evening but I figured id give them a try, I won my first tourney and lost my second so good start.


Anyways im really excited to grind more, as the MTTs are fun. Great week.

Midweek update (cause why not?)

Was about to withdraw all money off Global Poker cause I was sick of breaking even in omaha hi/lo sngs, entered a holdem tourney to mix it up and took 2nd! They sucked me back in! Solid start to the week!

Going to play live today! (not counting it towards the challenge)



Anyways here are the mid week results so far

Week 15 update

Had another good week, although it was basically because I took 2nd in an mtt on global! Didnt run well in the 6.60 or the 7 sngs, but still made money. However I did start playing the $22 omaha hi/lo sngs on global and ran pretty well for the 7 I played. So that was nice!

Im hoping to run better in the sngs and the betonline mtts, kinda got crushed in them last week but its all good! I think my play was fine I think variance is just hitting a bit. Hope to run well again in the $22s!


Plan for this week is the same, but mixing in more MTTs and as many 22 sngs as possible! Lets keep it going! Might be taking bigger shots as well with some higher buy-ins!

Week 17 update

Not much volume again, new job still taking most of my time. Still continuing! Hope to play more this week. Still a positive week and turned it around from last week, despite low volume. I screwed up the total for the challenge I think. I'm not exactly sure what I'm at but it's around 2k, sharkscope says 2k so I have no idea. But we will just go with the $1872 br.
