Haha sorry man. I was playing crazy because I had to go to the mall.

Today's results:

I'm fairly happy to be up today. The deck was against me and during that second downswing I was tilting pretty bad and I just kinda snapped out of it and grinded back hard.

Bankroll: 1,018.79
Total Deposits: 600
Total Cashouts: 0
Total Profit: 418.79

Graph for the last 3 days ain't lookin too pretty.


I passed the 50,000 hand mark for this challenge today so a half decent grind so far.

holy cow thats a whole big bunch of bitchariance u got there man... keep grinding itll more than even out

Good luck.

I'm going away today so this is all I'll be playing:


Played a bunch more last night but pretty much broke even.

Bankroll: 1,034.09
Total Deposits: 600
Total Cashouts: 0
Total Profit: 434.09

Hands played: 52,895 (6.58bb/100 - ev= 9.78bb/100)

Gl sir. Looks like you put in the volume.

From what I've read u focus a lot on grinding, instead of improving. My advice is to grind a bit less, and spend that time on working on your game. What do you think?

Thanks for reading man. In my honest oppinion I think players devalue what grinding actually does for 'working on your game'. There is no better and faster way to improve than playing hands. You can watch videos till the cows come home but if you are not grinding hard you won't improve. I'm definitely not saying other resources are not an invalueable source. I think they are great. I just think they are secondary to grinding.

+1

Easily the most frustrating day of the month.


I'm not TWENTY FIVE buy ins below ev through 55,000 hands this month. Just so so frustrating.

Firstly, great thread, I'm going to subscribe and follow your progress.





On the comment about grinding/learning, I agree to some extent. I know you are playing hands etc and I agree that putting in hours with playing hands is better than videos in most cases but playing 16tables I think you said? How much is just automated in your bet sizing/folding/flatting/c/r etc? I'm guessing because it comes second nature and natural now that that it's hard to improve and adjust to people?

Obviously it works at the lowest limits and maybe it's just an idea to cut down on volume and concentrate on working on your game to crush even more?

It's just on a personal note, I see so many multi tabling grinders who have the basic grasp on the game, hand ranges, 3betting ranges and so but because they are so focussed on this they become soooo exploitable where you know which texture boards they will c-bet at and which you can insta c/r or just even 3bet with expect them to fold.

This isn't a negative by the way, just kind of agree to some extent what the other guy is saying. If it's not for you then gl I will be following anyway!

Nice br there, go for it!

Thanks for following Max

@ram . I agree but I've found my most profitable comfort level between 11-13 tables where I give up the least in terms of reads and gain the most from volume. If I thought I'd be more profitable playing less tables I would. Playing 11-13 tables this month (57,000 hands) my ev bb/100 is 9.34 so playing 6 tables I need 18-19bb/100? Pretty much impossible and this isn't including rakeback/supernova chase. Hope this makes sense and thank you very much for following the thread!

Today's Results are off to a little bit better start:

BR @ $928.76
Profit @ 328.76

awesome sub'd. your redline is disgusting i love it.

lol what's disgusting is how much of a spew tard I am. Thanks for subbin bro!

Little motivation for myself here: I'm up ~$60 so far today. I'm going to put a sick session in now and if I can get up to $150 for the day I'll cash out $40 and buy wipeout for ps vita lol.

gl man gogogo!

lol thanks. @ ev I'd be there but the trend this month is every single day 50-100$ below ev.

so far today:

+$11T money

Bankroll: 1,031.81
Total Deposits: 600
Total Cashouts: 0
Total Profit: 431.81

i think given your style being below ev has to be the expected average?

i mean i m thinking since youre being crazy aggro postflop you rarely go to showdown. when you do you often are behind and thus more often than not will lose in say 30/70 spots than you win them so once in a while you ll have a crazy heatering session where u winn all flips and all those encounters too but more often than not u ll end up below ev.

whats more important: who cares? you win and you win big. just keep that up and dont lose energy by being annoyed by running bad.

i will remind you after that crazy 30 BI session where u ran 15 BI above EV

Lol nice pep talk I like it. Ev shouldn't have anything to do with play style but my bb standard deviation and variance will definitely be higher. 10+ buy in swongs are the standard for me.

I've got 3 March poker related goals:
1. 105,000 hands
2. 9,000+ vpps
3. $1,500 profit (inc. rakeback)

I think those goals are very challenging but acheivable.

The hand goal is ~3,500 hands a day which is under 4 hours on average which I think I can probably crush. I'll end with ~70,000 this month but I spent the first 2 weeks studying for uni.

9,000+ vpps should come naturally with the hand goal.

$1,500 is pretty optimistic if I play only 25nl but if I can get to 50nl I'll have a pretty good shot at it.

The roll for March will be around $1,000 depending on how tomorrow goes ($1,035 now). I think its a decent roll to acheive these goals and brm shouldn't be an obstacle for me.

I'll post the month's wrap-up tomorrow. (graphs/level breakdown/etc)

ps. I've got a lot of players at 16nl outing me/calling me a fish/cursing me to no end lol. I think they are on to something.. Keep getting your overpairs in bad you donks!

Today's Results:


Much more steady today. No horrific downswings.

BR @ $1,043.59

nice work sir, keep it up

good luck with your goals sir. gonna be a helluva grind but i think its doable if u stick to it. haha i love it when people call me a fish when i do something crazy usually type '' in the chat to get them angry and they start spewing. so funny

also, sick graph, couldnt get mine too look like that even if i wanted to haha

Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback

Today I'm just going to play about 2.5-3k hands. I'm also making a cashout today of 50% of the last 20k hand profits. I'll be doing this every 20k hands from now on. The money I cash out goes in my high interest savings account and is still treated as part of my poker bankroll because during 20k hand periods that I lose money I'll have to deposit the loses back online to continue bankroll growth. I'm only up about $100 over the last 20k so unless today has some big profits it is going to be a pretty small cash out.

Bankroll: $1,056.23
Total Deposits: $600
Total Cashouts: $0
Total Profit: $456.23

Worst day of the month yesterday. Only day of the month I go on mad tilt is the last. I played 4,000 hands straight in a row and lost ~$125. My GF was getting mad at me for not quitting bahhaa. I should have listened; she is wiser than I give her credit LOL!

Ah well had a good sleep and I'm back at er. Up $50 in my first 1000 hands in March and I'm drawing closer to a $50 stellar reward.

Pretty important this month to stay on my targets. 3,500 hands per day should do it. This really isn't a hard goal. The $1500 profit is a stretch but If I can double my bankroll to 2k I'd be pretty satisfied.

$2k profit just for fun imo. yeah dem wimminz they know some things we ppl dont

good luck bro cya in the 100k freeroll. last longer bet this time? (havent cashed in one ever lol)
