That's right. I am going to strive to get to the 1 million. I most likely have zero shot to reach that anytime soon. Yes, I will change my name to Steve Austin if I can pull it off. Steve Austin is the million dollar man for all the young ones out there with no idea who he is, even though I am young too. I am confident I can get close to this over enough time.

I have attempted PGC threads in the past but all have failed. I have had a recent driver that has given me the focus and determination to figure it out. I am a recent graduate and the working world is not fun. Even though I have been working full time since I was 16, now that I am in my field I am seeing this as the rest of my life and I can't do it. So this is it. I issued myself an 100k hand challenge at NL2 to see if I had the focus and control and I did.

Will be moving up the 6 max ladder with a 50BIN BR management. Will be playing 4000 hands daily, striving for 100k+ a month. I am currently at NL5 with a BR of $267.

Will update thread daily with hands and analysis. Will consider coaching at NL50 if I get stuck. Hopefully can get Gordon as a coach if I need it.

GLGL to me! Hope everyone enjoys!!!

Seen ya post around, cool to have found your challenge. Looking forward to seeing success here. I have a similar roll, similar stakes, and a similar challenge thread. Race ya to $2000?

How long you been playing? What do you struggle with most? Stuff like that.

Your avatar is a bit irritating, but it's awesome.

Get it in good Bukafax

In for namechange

Steve Austin was the SIX million dollar man. with inflation, that's over 32 million dollars today.

gl

Will give a bit of poker story here.

I have been and probably still been a terrible online player. Not due to fundamental game issues, with my skillset I should be able to beat up to NL25. It has always been my mental game that would ruin me. I would lose focus way to easily, play to quickly, not thinking spots through, and jump stakes and blow stacks and 100 dollar HUSNG lol. Live is deff where my strengths lie because my leaks dont come through live as much. Game is slower so I take it slower, hard to lose focus in a casino with no other stimuli around (not a degen lol)

Recently graduated and decided i cannot do this the rest of my life. So I am taking poker seriously now. I wanted to make sure so I put myself to the test of playing NL2 for 100k hands which I did just fine. Focus has arrived.

The purpose of the advatar is to tilt. Love my derp faced ladies haha.

Sure I will race to 2k haha.

TYTY

My mistake I will go with Ted DiBiase, the true million dollar man.

February 12, 2015

Was an alright session. Played about 3k hands was up $12 until near the end when I ran KK into AA for about $7. Was a bad night for AA/KK, got no action except that hand. Been running terrible at NL5, started with a 10BIN downswing to start. 30k hands in I am now +9. So pretty terrible as of now.



Im going to post 3 hands every update I think. 1 played well by me, one badly, and one WTF hand.

This hand I felt was a good play. His shove made no sense at all, QQ had to be good which it was.

WTF. Wish I was a luckrag like this POS lol. Flop had to call cause we were deep and I was draw heavy with a pair, have huge equity here usually. Turn again since we were deep had to call a pot sized bet. Brick the river and he was nice enough to check and take it down with KQ.

Pitiful session today. Lost 5BINs. Played bad and didnt get paid on any made hands ever. Got AKs in twice against QQ and JJ and couldnt bink. Wanted to play more today but that will have to wait so I can come back fresh. Heres todays graph.



Some hands for the day,

I thought this was a good call. Was a good card to bluff on and flush draw bricked. Boy was I wrong, waste of a BIN

This shove on his part made little sense, if he had a made hand no way he plays it this way. Was a good call but I run bad.

Good thing from this session was I unlocked another 10 dollar stellar reward!

BR sits at $247.

Do you still use this thread, or did you start another one?

This is probably going down as another failure

He's still playing 5NL a year later so idk what happened
