Skuz's Road to 500nl+ 2018 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

The Challenge:
- Increase my win rate to 10bb/100 over the next 100k hands.
- Play 100k hands over 60 days
My friend (AKA OtB_redbani) and I plan on having a friendly challenge over this 100k hands to see who can perform better. Hopefully I can post the results regularly so we can compare.

What to Expect:
- Post daily but the results will be for the day before (Ignition hands are posted 24 hours after)
- A highlight video of my day on youtube (I want to practice my video editing skills so I thought it would be good to incorporate in this challenge) – volume will be dependent on the response I receive in this thread

Good luck. I'll be following closely since I just started 200z recently and was wondering what kind of win rates were possible.

This is my first video so I will improve as I go. I will try and make a video challenge that coincides with this poker challenge.

Add or Improve one aspect of the video every day

If there is anything you guys want to see/removed from the video please let me know. I want to get better at video editing.

Expect posts to be around this time. Enjoy

Day 2/60

Here is the graph after day 2. Recovered some buyins from a bad start.

I put in approximately 6 hours

Winrate: 2.41bb/100

Hands 6440/100,000

Here is the highlight video for day 2 (I only recorded the boring part of my sessions so not many interesting hands today....):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqJl...ature=youtu.be

Addition: Learnt how to do typewriter animation for text.

*My stats are in US time on PT4 so I cannot filter for my day 2 hands so my graph and results will have to be cumulative. If anyone knows how I can get around this, please let me know.

GL, just remember that a 95% confidence interval over 100k hands will see a huuuuge range in terms of winrate. Someone with an actual WR of 10bb/100 could very very easily win at 2-5bb/100 over such a sample. Keep that in mind while you work on your game!

All the best!

not a fan of your sizings at all, both pf (3b to 4x) and flop with 65s then just jamming flop.

Although I thank you for educating the rest of the readers and I will try my best. Cheers for the support

Yes the 65s hand is interesting particularly without HUD I ran the numbers based on population assumption and it was very marginal spot. What do you think optimal play should be here? I do think I am over adjusting for population as I am playing very differently to how I played on Stars

pre is probably too big but something like 3.5x IP this deep seems fine. agree flop c bet isn't ideal but as played i think GII is slightly better than calling
