Hello 2+2.

I'm a 22 y/o from Scandinavia, who has been playing 6 max for some months now, and very quickly got really passionate about this game. Lately I came to the conclusion, that I never really had any goals in terms of poker, and because of that, I will start this thread. As you can read, my main goal is to reach 100z in 2018.

I will update this thread at least for each month, but preferably with updates through the week/when I feel like it.

November goals

15k hands []
Study at least 3 hours a day []
One day each week completely off from poker []

Hey. It's time to make the first update to the challenge.

November goals

15k hands [x]
Study at least 3 hours a day [x]
One day each week completely off from poker [x]





Super boring update, I know. Might see if I can update with some hands in December. I don't check graphs a lot right now, so might only post monthly graphs.

December goals

25k hands []
Study at least 2 hours a day, 5 times a week []
Never play more than two tables []
Play one stake at a time/don't take shots []
One day off from poker each week []

Wish you the best in December, GL.

Well done with your november goals, seems like you're progressing well. Are you playing 16z now?

Thanks. I've decided to skip 16z, so I'm at 10z now.

Go Jeca Go!

GL with yer progress!

Are you mongol or viking?

December is over, and it's time to update once again.

As you can read, I didn't succeed in terms of my goals for the month. In January, I will not have any goals. As for 2018, I will try not to set too many goals. My main goal is still to move up to 100z, and maybe some other stuff like to start to work with a solver, start meditating and similar stuff related to poker.

Think that's it for now. GL to everyone in 2018, wishing you the best.

Hello reader(s)! After I burned out earlier this year, I've decided, that I will be back from now on. I've almost tripled my BRM, which means I'm now back at 10z. I will be posting here after each session (which should be around 5-6 days a week) for the rest of the month, and then decide if it's for me.

Goals for February:

60k hands []
1 hour of study, 6 days a week []

GL!

Hey. Just finished my last session of today, and it's time for my first update in a while. Had a few interesting hands to review, but also a few setups.

Today felt pretty smooth, but was full of the usual coolers/standard KK vs. AA, so was about to get ugly.



Thought I had this guy.

Pretty sure I will play tomorrow as well, so see you there!

Today was pretty easy, but when I checked the results I guess it was not. Think I had one hand, which annoyed me for a bit. Will post a few more hands than the other days, just to get them shared.



Pretty standard I think.

Today's sessions were very tough, so very happy to have profit. Think I had one hand, which was able to get to me. The rest were just the usual cry decisions.

GL.

Not sure what we meant to do by a shove on hand 1. I would've just called, don't think that there's any point in thining his range but maybe you know better?

Hand 3 I would've continued OTT because of our flop sizing, I know its a BTNvsMP spot but I still think that he'll have a good amount of Ax there that'll call as well as worse Ax combos

Scandie reporting in.

Hand 3 Bet flop to protect your hand against a wide limping range

GLGL

Hand 1 seems like a pretty standard 4bet pre.
Hand 3 could probably trap turn sometimes but betting alot of the time I think is best w/o reads.

Gl, hope u start to run well soon

H1 is fine preflop, very nut line from fishes!
H3 betting turn is significantly better unless guy is bluffing way too often (which apparently he is)

TYTY for the response, appreciate it!

Today's results. Will be putting in some volume in the weekend. GLGL.

Played some super standard sessions today, nothing super eventful.

Will be playing tomorrow as well, GL!

Definitely had the toughest day in February so far. Couldn't get anything going, and had to make some disciplined folds. Even in the usual standard spots, I couldn't catch a bluff either. What a day. It doesn't really affect me afterwards, when I've reviewed the hands. During a session though, it can feel really annoying to just fold, fold and fold.



Will share some hands. Hopefully I'm not too whiny.

Pretty awkward turn spot.

Became annoyed with this one. Villain is 35/3/0, so would be very surprised to see him become aggressive out of nowhere.

And trying to catch a bluff against a fish. Really hate this spot, but villain reps super thin, and I know nothing but he is a fish, so I call.
