I give you exactly 0.0000000000001% chance of succeeding, and im bring rather optimistic.


If you try 10 buy ins per limit, you will probably also fail, but you have a much much better shot.

Notes thus far:

Biggest problem right now is tilt. Just running into a lot of minraising and minbetting. It's a very player specific thing. Some people are doing it with air, others are doing it with the nuts, and others doing it for pot control. Problem is I get so tilted when someone minbets the flop and turn with J8 on a AJK5 board that I start raising them out of spite lol. I simply have to stop doing this.

Now that I'm basically on short stack strategy mode with my current bankroll, should at least help make my decisions easier. No more guessing as to their hand strength on the flop and turn, wondering what they could possibly have called me with preflop. Just ship it in and hope for the best!

Since this challenge is a first for me, I think I'll probably restart it once I bust since I have so much to learn at 1/2 cent. This was kind of an experiment here, hopefully next go around I'll have a little more info on how best to handle these types.

I'm also interested in employing a few new strategies like overbetting flops and such. Fish WILL fold, I just dont think pot sized bets really threaten them enough. To them, it's only 8 cents on the flop. Why fold to a cbet? I suspect many of them may be calling with pair draws, that is drawing to hit one of their overcards, or possibly nothing at all, they just dont feel inclined to fold to such small amounts regardless of the pot odds they are being given. But if I make the bet count, if the bet clearly shows they have no move left but to get it allin on the turn, maybe then they'll let go of more hands. If they call then clearly I'm beat, and I'll be making some silly folds on later streets after having invested over half my stack for sure. But you really do have to "find out where you are" a lot of times, since you cant just say "he called and the flop is 456ss, I can put him on x range of hands".

[ ] OP beat 2 cents powka

Just variance obviously, always a danger with such an aggressive bankroll strategy.

Im gonna give u an little advice - start from 10nl, ot 5nl minimum. from $10-20, whatever.
U can start to play with 50bb at the first time, and if your rules is 5BIs BRM, so i hope u include that thing that you can move down when you lose some BIs.
Take care!

Seriously most of these PGC threads are completely delusional.....

Why not just make it $10 to $50, rather than something that is completely ridiculous (i.e. $500k)

Also, why not post the other half of your HEM session with VPIP and PFR etc, then at least you can get some feedback.

Not to be a hater........well actually yes to be a hater but not specifically at the OP.

I am just off to make my thread on this.

Its gonna be titled "I will turn $5 into $5 billion and then lose it all to Phil Ivey within 6 months"

If your playing 1c/2c or 2c/5c 9max, Shove pre with AA or KK, you always get a caller with some average hand like A10, 99, 88, KQ etc

You'll be there in no time. Keep it up.

GL man,

post in the cash forum and play lots of hands

Not gonna bother posting update today. Played 25 hands and got brutally sucked out on for stacks twice by the same donkey, lost with top 2 pair and a set to runner runner airball garbage straight and flush, allin on flop. Instantly put me in a bad mood which is not where I like to be before going to bed, so I'm just calling it quits today.

I love how you post your goal publicly so you can hold yourself accountable, while motivating yourself at the same time, i do the same thing to a certain degree - telling friends & family my goals and what i expect out of myself in an x amount of time.

have you heard of sam chauhan, the mindset coach for the bigtime players? i read in his book on how to motivate yourself and it opened my eyes to a whole new level.

this link also helped me when i was just going through the motions

Ok, challenge officially over, busted just now. Just couldnt handle the tilt, one too many suckouts. Heart is actually racing right now after suffering 4 allin's in under 30 hands losing to the most brutal suckouts I have ever seen. Top set busted by runner runner boat, trips busted by runner runner boat, nut flush busted by runner runner boat, AA aipf busted by JTs for 50BB's. Took the last of my bankroll to the rush tables, first hand I get AKo, I just ship about 50 BB's in the CO, btn calls with AA.

I dont think I'll ever play stakes this low again, just too many random hands calling with no ability to play postflop poker. Just clicking raise and crossing my fingers every time I have QQ+ praying I dont somehow lose the hand is not a healthy mindset, and is damaging my ability to play at midstakes which is where I feel more comfortable. I may try to build a new roll playing some of the NL200+ cap games on FTP or something so I can grind up quickly with less variance before I can play competitively in normal full stacked games once more.

GG

[ ] Can beat 2nl
[ ] Can beat 200nl
[ ] 2nl harder than 200nl
