Hello everyone. This is my story.

As everyone I started playing poker with friends in small home games. In the end of 2012 a friend transferred me 10 bucks on ps. I went to nl2 tables and in 30 mins I lost 6 dollars. Then I realized that I might be able to make some money in this game if I discipline myself. I turned that 4 into 150 pretty fast, then deposited 20 euros on one soft network where I played cash up to 10nl for a year or so when I decided that I want to give it my best short at poker. So I came back to PS and started playing SNGs. That was in May 2014. I turned my 350$ roll in 5k roll withing a year, making constant withdraws to support myself.

My main game are small field mtts and 18 men turbo sngs. If you ever played 18 men turbo sngs you know that it is probably the hardest format to play with the insane number of regs who at least know what they are doing. The variance is not that big in terms of downswings but this format can crush your soul and kill your self confidence harder than mtts.

Here is my graph in this for the December till 10th January


The breakeven stretch and the runbad didn't get me thinking or questioning my play but I need a small break.

So I am gonna focus on building a decent roll on one small network. I also want to learn 6max turbo format mainly to keep my postflop game sharp and to solve the leaks I feel that I have in some shorthanded spots.

So the goal is pretty simple, 250 games a week 6tabbling 6 max turbos on soft network.

I am starting tomorrow after gym because I decided to have a healthy schedule in 2015.

Didn't run in gym today because we I am playing some soccer with friends tonight. Did some chest and arms exercises and then I ate 3 scrambled eggs. I added some mozzarella cheese right before I took them off the heat. You might wanna try that, it gives that milky taste.

And then I played some pokers. I felt like I was calling to light in some spots but I am still quite inexperienced with 6max dynamic. Hopefully it wont take long till I fully adapt.

I am also learning to play on only 6 tables at a time. It is boring at times because I used to multitable from 12-18 sng mtts at the same time. But there are some benefits like exploiting situations to the maximum and giving more focus to spots that I would autopilot on more tables.

Graphs laters, I've played only 26 games.

Decided to play a small session on PS instead of the soft site I am doing challenge on. So I booked only 26 games for today.



Week 1 Day 1
26/250

Is there a network other than stars where you can get 6 tables up?

What stakes are you playing?

A friend of mine is playing on Hive network. One of the softest networks there is but the problem is that I can't run PT4 there and I don't have HM2. I am a stats geek. He runs up to 12 tables at a time mixing everything in a range from 5-20e 6max turbo sngs.

So I am assuming that it is possible to run up to 6 tables on even smaller networks, like the one I am doing the challenge right now.

I play low-mid stakes.

Didn't play yesterday. Soccer was too tough on my muscles the night before, just felt like lying around and toying with my HUD. Did I mention I was a stats geek? Yea, well, my huds rock and right now I am developing one for Heads UP. Might let you guys peek at it soon.

Challenge going slow, booked 17 games today because the site was so dry and the tables were filling so slow. Played bad, ran bad I feel like it was my C- game.



Later I am gonna put some more volume.

Week 1 Day2
43/250

Played a bit today and encountered some regs. Impression is that most of them are bad but I believe that some of them will improve once I become regular guest in their games. Their biggest leak is probably getting into penis wars all the time and then moving those wars across other tables.



Will see if I am gonna play more later, I just thirst for PS software quality so I might do a session there.

Week 1 Day3
67/250

Quick update. Don't think I'll open more tables today. Gonna visit photo gallery with my fiancee. College buddy is having a presentation of his art work and even tho its mediocre stuff I gotta show respect by showing up.

Still working on my Heads Up hud and figuring out some layouts. Think I am close to the solution.

A small peak into my hud layout

Finished small session 30 mins ago. Frustrated one extremely bad reg he was all over the chat whining and swearing. Gotta show some sympathy for his pain since his winnings became losses ever since I joined his games. This is so fun, I feel sympathy for his pain but also I am so pleased that I feel like smiling all the time.

Session was good. Also, run good. But the main thing is that I feel my progress in 6max. Feels good overall.



Week 1 Day4
84/250

Finished solid session few minutes ago. Feel like I played great. Was extremely unlucky in some 3 handed situations but sh*t happens.



Week 1 Day5
106/250

Tomorrow left and I really don't think that I ll be able to hit my goal but oh well, was very busy week.

Bleh ( only 23 games today. Here is the week overview

- 129 / 250 games, barely 50% of the challenge, but I got good excuses
- 6max can be extremely interesting at times and I feel like I am refreshing my game because I play only 6 tables in this challenge
- I feel relaxed and good whenever I am about to load up tables for this challenge, big plus for that

So overall I am satisfied. We will see if the trend will continue.

Week 1 graph

Had two more sessions. I played great, unlucky in some 3 handed spots against those penis war regs.

February going very well and I am just gonna try to change my challenge from 250 games a week to 1k games @ month. It is just more reasonable and bigger.

So here is February so far



Played 31 games today!

Good luck! Looks like a great start!

Hey! Thanks, its going good.

Did another small session. Breakeven one fish ran like sun in heads up. Good thing is that I managed to play 45 games today. Games were filling up fast.

Nice thread, subbed!

I'm thinking of making a bankroll for on own from $50 tru 6-max sng.
any tips?

Keep on the good work!
