Decided I was gonna do another 100k hands challenge and see how well I do. However this time, I won't be streaming everything nor will I be playing 12 hours a day trying to get the 100k hands within the same month lol

I still feel I ran extremely bad in the latter half of the previous challenge but I do think because of that, I improved drastically since then and hopefully want to be able to quantify that and see it on a graph. I think it's always nice to be able to quantify and to be able to see any improvement you make in a game like poker where your increase in knowledge cannot be correlated to results immediately.

Having said that, a couple conditions I do want to put on this:
If I do stream, I don't stream the games for more than 3 hours as a decline in quality of play and focus begins to spiral downwards past the 2 hour mark. Shown in today's stream here: https://i.gyazo.com/4f2e5e2ef133bd9f...1be43f9d9c.png

Although I would like to think that it's just me and the cold deck not giving me any value hands postflop or giving me hands that are opportunities to bluff and take the pot down, it seems to be a very strong recurring theme that I just don't do well past the 2 hour mark especially when I'm streaming.

2nd would be to play a good amount off stream. Playing 100k hands in a month and having it all on stream made me burn out a lot and with all the emotion of going through the crazy swings, it wasn't a good time. As a result, my stream schedule so far looks like 3-4 days a week, 2-3 hours a day.

As a result, we're here about 6-7k hands deep (we're missing 2k hands and +3BI but 100k hands is 100k hands so I don't think itll matter in the long run) and here's how the graph looks so far minus today's session: https://i.gyazo.com/23b400432adcdb23...3a7a6f3fb8.png

What I would like to see by the end of 100k hands is at least 5 evbb/100 and hopefully for me to have finished this within 3 months.

On another note, the october raffle promo for the club im playing on in pppoker will be streamed at the end of the month. How it works is that you get a raffle ticket for every some amount of hands you play and you get to allocate your tickets into different prizes so that you have a chance to win a prize you actually want. For more details, PM me here or on discord or on twitch.

Other than that got nothing else to say besides hope everyone in the pool runs horribly except for me hehe

+800, played 2 tables of 200z and 1 table of 500z with 1 reg 200NL table

Massively coolered a reg in 500z:



Other than that, pretty uneventful and standard session logging in another 1k hands. I am missing some hands with the catcher (what's new) so that's unfortunate. Hopefully I won't miss any more hands while downloading them through Ignition client but doesn't seem likely.

Will be back for another stream later today probably around 4PM PST and then no stream tomorrow as I have some real life stuff I need to take care of.

updog? is that like a team or something?

Back to square 1; **** this game
tl;dr: iggy is dumb
Something about playing on Ignition makes me tilt harder than other sites, whether its the **** UI or the constant coolers and set ups. Maybe it's the illusion that zone brings since you get playable hands every other minute, if a couple of setups get strung in a row it feels worse than reg tables. Usually at this point in my career I don't bat an eye when I get rivered or anything of that sort but holy crap it's almost like Ignition has a non-existent punchable faces.

Fun hand #1:


Fun hand 2:


Fun hand #3:


Rest were losing to some 1.5k stack maniac 5xing bvb and getting it in 100bb eff with A2o vs my JJ and winning, along with net losing a flip or two.

Yesterday on stream we managed a profit of $31 according to PT4 and today we record a -1.1k loss.

As for since starting to play back on iggy, we're back to being up just a little under 2 BI over possible 10k hands. Will post graphs once we get hands.

No stream tomorrow or this weekend since I have a friend thats flying in for the weekend but will try to make it up with extra streams during the weekdays.

Just had to get this off my chest, playing on Iggy makes me feel like I'm gonna lose my mind.

give us a november update ****dog

Yeah ****dog
