Hi all,

Want to start a poker goal / challenge for Spin & Go's, grinding a small bankroll up.

Start: $462 (66 buyins at $7 spins)
Goal: $4662 (666 buyins at $7 spins)

I want to accomplish this in the next 66 days. Will be grinding about 6 hours a day (need to play ~200 games a day, and I 4-table). When I get to $2000, I will take some shots at $20s, and drop down if I lose 20 BI at the $20s.

Will post a daily update to keep myself motivated. Feel free to tag along on my journey!

Best of luck to you! Do you plan on moving down if you start of downswinging significantly? 66 bins seems a tad small.

I will move down if I drop to 40 buyins.

Overall Update:
Bankroll: $546
Buyins: 78
Games: 300
Chips (EV): 17,091
ChipEV/Game: 57

Today's Session:
Profit/Loss: +$84
Buyins Gained/Lost: +12
Games: 300
Chips (EV): 17,091
ChipEV/Game: 57

Ran HORRIBLY in the 5x matches, also spun a 15x (<0.1% chance on Bovada), and lost a flip with equal stack (and 3rd guy had 2.5bb left). Dropped down to $300-ish early in the day, took a walk to clear my head to make sure I don't tilt as I was feeling it coming on, resumed with two tables until I was out of the danger zone of 45-50buyins.

Definitely need a break. Started my games for today, 74 games in, 9400 chips under EV. It's at the point where in the 5x's I'm asking myself when I shove 10bb "Hmm, will I lose to a hand I dominate, or lose a flip?". Last hand was a 5x with pocket 6s, shove button for 10 bigs vs. a 80% VPIP/60PFR who calls with A4, and no ace...no flush, no straight...just a runout of 7 2 7 J J. Probably the most tilting way to lose...

I'd recommend playing less tables and focusing on playing your absolute best and thinking about spots/timing/sizes as much as possible

spins strat is kind of stable locked so you will need coaching or a solver to really analyze spots

You're absolutely right - I dropped down to two tables for a little bit to focus, and it helped.

Overall Update:
Bankroll: $448
Buyins: 64
Games: 420
Chips (EV): 21,406
ChipEV/Game: 51

Today's Session:
Profit/Loss: -98
Buyins Gained/Lost: -14
Games: 120
Chips (EV): 4,831
ChipEV/Game: 40.2

I took a look at my bustout hands actual vs. EV. In 242 bustout hands, my stats are:

Actual Chips: -100,012
EV Chips: -14,637

WPN was notoriously bot infested, and seems like less traffic in the spins than Bovada. Haven't given Global a try - might try that out.

Have you tried WPN and Global spins?
