Yea, I've found that making challenges and goals in poker makes me enjoy grinding it out a lot more. Good luck mate.

Yeah, I didn't expect to get such a boost of motivation for it - the challenge moreso designed as a test to see if I could do it - but as soon as it was official (after I posted the 2p2 post if I'm being truthful), it felt like I had something immediate to do, and it's been that way since

Cheers! Gl 2u2

Hey,

So around a week has passed so far into the challenge, and I can honestly say I'm thoroughly enjoying it! I struggled at first with just 2-tabling (300 hands an hour for 8 hours a day can quickly become brain numbing to the best of us), but after the addition of a 3rd table, session lengths have increased, and grinding just feels a lot easier, counter-intuitively.

So far I've played 19,093 hands in 14 days, which means I'm a bit behind pace (pace @ 22.5k) hand-wise, but since I'm now 3-tabling and getting more hands in per hour, I'm likely ahead of pace hour-wise, so long as I continue to 3-table from here on out.

The sincerest of apologies to those who are just here for free $, so like 80% of you ; I do feel confident about successfully completing this, and tbh, I'm really glad I decided to go ahead with it, as it's forced me to 3-table, which is something that will show its EV in the (soon) times to come.

Some hands:
1. FU vs 21vpip nit reg

2. That's some float

3. Woop woop

4. This was kinda insane: literal first hand of the sesh and I hadn't realised I binked the turn, thus I was "bluffing" the river at the time. Cried a bit inside when he snapped river. It was only when I went back to the table (after I had taken my note on him) that I saw a 198bb stack and realised what had happened - there really isn't a better feeling, esp with it being the very first hand of the sesh

5. RIP.

6. Eeeeek

Nothing like a good ol' swingy graph :P.

Cheers & goooood luck!!

That red-line on ur graphs.

Do u think that playing less tables is having an huge impact to ur red line or would u be able to do it while 4-6 tbling?


gl to the challenge, sir!

Clanty, do you think you can maintain the same skill level and find the small edges (which probably make a difference between an average winning player and a crusher) with your style of playing poker when grinding 2+ tables? Gl for the challenge!

It definitely has some impact for sure. Do you mean 4-6 reg tables or ZOOM? If reg, then I think I could keep it up for sure, but there's no chance I could with 4-6 ZOOM.

Cheers mate!

Alright mate

No, I sacrifice some evBB's 3-tabling atm, but give it a 100k hands or so, and I should be able to make most of them up - at least, that's the plan!

Cheers, gl 2u2

teach me how to redline pls <3

don't fold

---

3rd week in. Pace is ~34k and I'm at 31k. I would have played more but I wanted the freerollers to have something to sweat about

Will keep this short and give a proper update on how things are going when I complete this challenge

Few's hh:
1. Vs "reg"

2. Ownage vs reg. Pretty sure his hand is an easy fold, but didn't think he'd be folding as weak as an overpair w/ the diamond exploitatively

3. Not often you get to rep the Royal with 6 hi . Vs 2 regs, figured it's a massively underbluffed spot (let's be honest, nobody ever ***** bluffs here), so I was hoping they'd even fold the 98dd straightflush

4. Spewwww


Month:


Cheers & goooood luck

liking these hands mate
i think you have improved alot imo
wp

holy **** hand 4 is so bad hahaha

everything else looks alright

h4 is fine at a low frequency
OTF he has a blocker to the bdfd + 1 overcard
OTT he still has a blocker to the bdfd + 1 overcard
OTR he is at the bottom of his range, pretty sure he has some 25s combos that are better checks

I'll just assume you are trolling because I can't tell

Nice work Clanty.

pretty amazing that you can maintain that red line when the regs probably have read your thread

thx man! hope all's good with you

aren't you familiar with the saying "it ain't spew if it gets through!"

nahh lol, it's terrible, it was obv a read (or am I just a monkey (that's rhetorical Mirage)?)

also, your logic between flop/turn is crazy: xr flop and xr turn are completely different beasts, yet you justified both with an identical argument which doesn't come close to standing true ott (agree w/ flop)

future mirage IMO, c'mon man

thx man

I'm just a station, no bluffs from me; nuts only!

Month looks to be going sick, good to see you’re getting more volume in too! Your progress as a whole has been pretty inspiring, gl the rest of the month!

it is! all thanks to the 3rd table and a wee bit of willpower

thanks a lot, gl 2u2!

Off topic a bit, and I don't usually link anything like this, but I was crying with laughter last night to a good ol' bit of Frankie Boyle (doubt anyone outside of the UK knows of him)! Have dropped the link below in case anyone is interested. NSFW and not for those easily offended btw! Enjoy

He put you on 73o, completely reasonable IMO.

I need a lot of study ! Cant understand Shietttttt
GL brah

what

Jesus. Rec? Would be even more hilarious if it was a 2 color deck malfunction from a reg.

lol the QJs hand, this is so hilarious when it happens, and it doesn't happen very often haha, need to be vs a serious whale

he finds the 0.1% frequency call
