Throughout the next 15 weeks I would like to develop a solid understanding of everything contained in the 'Poker Blueprint' - no skipping pages, no rushing chapters.

Below, I list my goals for the next 15 weeks.

Starting bankroll: $70
10-12 hours a week
4 tables
5,000 hands a week
~75,000 hands in 15 weeks
5bb/100 with a 50/50 split of 2nl and then 5nl
Finishing bankroll: $200

You don't have to look far to find a goal that hasn't materialised, but I believe if I stick to mine, I won't be far off.

I don't need the cheeseburger change, I just want to be a better player and if anything that's the one fundamental thing I want to take from these 15 weeks.

gl f0cus!

I'm doing a pretty similar thing myself. I'd be happy to talk strategy with you if you like, apart from a small issue with spazing out every now and then i think my games pretty solid.

feel welcome to chip in to my PG&C thread if you've got any thoughts on the hands i posted.

Here are my first 7,500 hands, the last 500 from today. I will post positional stats when I reach 10,000 hands.

Week 1 Summary

Hands: 1831 [-3169]
Net won: $3.77
bb/100: 10.29

It's been a pretty difficult week, very busy at work and a lot of social commitments.

I've also found I'm not quite up to the task for 4 tabling yet, so I will stick to 2 tabling for now. I think I can sustain ~10bb/100 at 2nl doing this, so I won't be far off my goal even with half the volume per week through 2nl.

Here are my stats for the week, followed by an overall graph.

Looks solid. I would try to lower the vpip% by limping less overall. Open up your 3bet range more from the blinds and button(not without good hands against fish!)

Although theres way too little amount of hands to say anything for certain.

I've started 2 tabling zoom tables, and think they are a great alternative to 4 tabling the fast tables. The nice thing about zoom is that you can really tighten up your preflop game and get into a nice rhythm - I would say this accounts for over 50% of my success so far.

By playing more hands I am also developing a better feeling for flop textures and putting villains on general ranges. The only real disadvantage is that for some reason my HUD doesn't work on zoom?

I will post updated graph/stats on Sunday!
