I've been playin too little - just like 3 days this month lol, since the weather is so good and there're lots of things to do. That's not the only excuse i just struggle to get motivated to play.
Also have some history of not updating the other threads, so I figure I'll just try to update this for 1 month shouldn't be that hard
I play with 100 buy ins on every level.. but I'm way over rolled now for 500.
BR isn't a concern, objective of this challenge is to play the best as I can and hopefully be motivated to play again and see if i start to run decent again to have good vacations
Thanks! Volume has been really low. But I plan a big grind today..
Interesting that HSNL pack regs have been playing some 500z: hhecklen,lotenice and boss fishbaron.
I can say I'm up versus the boss this bonus hand (not on the timeframe of the challenge) helps

running a bit better, but I still can't get action with monsters.. I'm winning less than 2 stacks with AA last 55 hands, and 3 stacks with KK 60 hands in this challenge.
So I have to rely on spewy non showdown plays and hands like these:
Also I've played today the most interesting hand in a while vs a reg.. i think due to the fact that seems to be a new check-raising/weird line trend at 500 lately. Will do a better update b4 going on vacations
Same story again, running kinda bad but mental game is spot on. So I'm playing A- game, I'd say. And when that happens even with awful distributions its still possible to win..
I've played millions of hands, and this last 120k have been unreal both in setups that go wrong, flopping sets and easy hands (the ones where u have premiums and are supposed to win lots of money).
So I'm very happy that I'm still winning, and on a game that the edges aren't super big i'd say a good sample has to be like 500k hands.
Previously I always argued that 200k hands are okish samples (prob fine at 200zoom), but at 500 the variance is just too big!
Preety happy to be winning and expecting the variance to turn around soon

Keep running bad with distributions but good in EV so that's fine.
Will go on vacations and i'm back to play in early next week.
Last session had the potential to be a 10 b.i session or close to that, but played a bit bad towards the ending and ran almost 4 stacks under.. had I played A-game it would've been much better.
I still have high hopes of making 70k hands, and good winrate until last day of july
