The title says it all. Starting with $3k on ACR, playing a semi aggressive bankroll management of 30BIs with a goal of making $20k in just 12 weeks.

History:
I have tried doing a few past low limit PGC threads, however, came bored with them quickly. This time will be different as I feel very motivated for this challenge and held accountable to complete. The challenge will be complete when I hit $20k challenge BR, at three months, or if the challenge BR busts, whichever comes first.

I have had some good results over this past year and plan to continue strengthening my skills throughout this challenge.
2017 Notables Cashes:

4th America's Poker Tour Main Event ($13k)
7th Wynn Poker Classic $200k ($7k)
Chopped Goliath Event w/ Jessica Dawley ($10k)
7th Chicago Poker Classic Event 4 ($4k)
Global Poker Cash Games ($17k)

Weekly Goals:

-Three+ Sessions with $400+ in BIs
-Three+ Poker Nerve lessons
-One full hand history review
-Short updates on thread detailing games played and session rating
-One week update detailing results, hands, thoughts etc.

Next Session BRM:
BR: $3,000
Mtts up to: $55 BI

This is not my entire roll or life roll, only a BR for this challenge.

Thanks for Subbing. Should be interesting and going to be a tough task to hit 20k. I think volume is going to be my biggest challenge. I have a pretty tight schedule and need to continue playing outside the challenge (live tourneys/cash) a few times per week. My schedule looks something like this:

Sunday - Challenge online (Evening)
Monday - Challenge online (Evening)
Tuesday - Live weekly tournament
Wednesday - Bowling league no poker
Thursday - challenge or live tournament (based on which I feel better playing)
Friday - Challenge or live $5/$10 Game (the local $5/$10 Game is huge on Fridays so I often will play this over challenge if I feel focused)
Saturday - Live tourney or no poker if busy with family life.

I will definitely post a few hands each week or so, including thought process and details on my line.

Weekly Goals:

-Three+ Sessions with $400+ in BIs - (X) - Going to eliminate the dollar value of this goal. Felt forced to play more even when deep in bigger events and when not on my A game.

-Three+ Poker Nerve lessons - ( ) - Watched two videos, think two is sufficient per week considering low amount time available off the tables.

-One full hand history review - ( ) - I have had some issues with HM2 the past week and moved to use a new software Called Jivaro. Jivaro does not keep hand history so I will have to find a program to convert hands. I will complete a review of the $5k 6-max from September 18th within the next week.

-Short updates on thread detailing games played and session rating - (/) - Missed updating from 9/11 session (Will add in next update)

-One week update detailing results, hands, thoughts etc. (X)


Next week Goals:
-Two Poker Nerve videos
-Three B rating sessions or better.
-Hand history review of $5k GTD from 9/18
-Short thread update every 2nd session
-One week update

Thats a nice looking schedule man! I mean, getting some live cash action the "juicy days" is sth i definately have on my future plans, both as a means of improvement and moniiieez ofc.

20k is indeed challenging but looking forward for this challenge!! Please do share hhs whenever u feel like it

I have quite a different "goal" on my pgc but from past Thursday and on i have decided i will dedicate 1 post each week (every Thursday obv) putting some hands up and discussing/sharing thoughts-strat. I can understand 100% that ur schedule is tight, although if u ever feel like it/have the time, feel free to check them and post ur thoughts.

Best of luck buddy!

Cheers

Thursday session went fairly well finishing 4th in one tourney for just over $600. Ran card dead when 6 handed, however, there were two hands I believe I missed played which could have supplemented my chip stack to get through the drought and put pressure on opponents.

Had a rough pat week with this challenge. I feel I am playing fairly well outside of one session and have hit a wall of ill timed beats and coolers. These results could just as easily been flipped after making some deep runs that ended abruptly (Including a 120th in the $150k gtd tonight). All good, I feel this is standard variance and can turn around at any moment, just have to keep moving forward. Also, really struggled on time management and failed most my weekly goals.

Results:
9/22: +201.87
9/24: -$76.37
