Hi again, so im starting new thread mainly so i can keep track of my goal, last time i had a challenge to turn $10 into $1k, which i succeded at in 2nd try, if u are interested in checking it out here is link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...lenge-1494806/

NEW GOAL: Turn $200 into $3000 before i finish my last semester (~1st of july)

so this time id say the task is a little easier and u might think why even bother to start a thread about it, well mostly because i have enjoyed my last one and i believe it helped me to keep going and not quitting, so theres that.

Games that im going to start with:
0.5/180
0.5/360
1/180
mixing some 2.5/180s
mtt's everything up to $3

what i want to do is invest some of the profits in coaching
find a staking deal, preferably after i make my goal
post here more often, after each session
dont cashout too much, only if its really neccessery



If u have any questions or suggestions or w/e feel free to ask

For now i wish u all good night and good luck if u are @ the tables, im starting tomorrow !

#Day 1

Always good to start with a profit, tried to play 24+ tables i think i can manage it, at least on this level of games so i will keep doing it, i have a plan to start throwing some 2.5/180s once i hit $350 mark, also im using SessionLord right now, i must say its pretty nice, tables keep loading up while PS lobby is hidden which i really like a lot

Biggest win of the day: $22.61 in 1/90 turbo

Hey, nice run on the old thread!
Gl on the new one, with a $200 bankroll you should be in a way better position than $10. GL! #subbed

    Solid grinding there mate. Should be fairly close to getting up to $2.50/180s? Probably see the bankroll soar when you get in those. Good luck!

    Cheers, ill start throwin some 2.5/180s once i hit around $350 bankroll, and then i will also try to cut down on tables i play so i can make more correct decisions as i feel big difference between 0.5 and 2.5 games, people start to know what they are doing and u can see a lot of regs in those too

    #Day 3

    What can i say, pretty tough day but managed to get breakeven at the end, 1.5/90 ship saved my ass. I tried to play as many tables as possible, had 37 max open at a time, i think i did manage it just fine but its too much anyway gonna turn it down a little, also didnt feel like playing any mtts, was pretty tired after the gym, didnt take a 20 min nap before starting a session so that might be also a reason for poor results today

    #Day 4

    1 dollar profit day hype, played few mtts + lots of 1/180 and 1.5/90ko, busted mtts pretty quickly and was left with around 20 tables of sngs, i think i played pretty poorly to be honest, waaaay to passive adding to this that flips were not on my side i was down 29 bucks, it was 11pm and i was thinking about calling it a day and watch a movie or play some league of legends but i made right decision to load up some more and in this "batch" i did much better, shipped 1.5/90ko and took 2nd in 0.5/180, so thanks to that ive made a 1 dolla profit

    #Day 5 Sunday

    So i havent played on friday and saturday, on friday i usually take the day off poker and on saturday i went on a "date" and when i got back home i was after few beers so decided not to play. So about sunday, i took some shots at 2.5/180s then some $5 mtts and 4.5/180s, kind of dissapointed, at one point i had chiplead (twice as much as 2nd place) while 11 left in 4.5/180 and i blew it off stupidly against a fish and i finished 6th place, so basically im down few bucks on sunday but i have faith in myself and hopefully i will start showing some progress

    #Day 6

    Finally a pretty decent day compared to last ones, i started as usual by mass multitabling 0.5/180s and 360s making 1st and 2nd and few other FTs, after finishing all my sngs i was still left with last mtt so i didnt want him to feel lonely and popped up sope 2.5/180s and 5/90KOs which i really like a lot, the variance is pretty low in those and u got around 150 for first place anyway, came close to winning one but lost crucial pot in HU for 2nd place

    #Day 7

    Good day after good day, thats what i like to see, as i said last time i decided to focus on quality of my games rather then volume, had open 14 tables at the most and had nice results so i might keep going like that, i still played 60 games but just took me a while longer then normal, i might keep going like that anyway, i think i even enjoy it more this way, only played sngs as i didnt feel like mtting

    #Day 8

    Yesterday was an mtt night, i must say i played pretty well and kept cool in most of situations without blowing my stacks on some random ass bluffs, unfortunately its still mtts and u need some luck from time to time, coinflips were not with me that night but i ended up breakeven so i guess thats ok for an mtt day, transferred few bucks @ FTP to play like 4 mtts there, lets say i dont know how to win 80-20 situations there aipf, maybe next time

    Also received free $10 from 888poker as i havent played there for a while, so im adding it to profits and gonna give it a try there too as i was even considering moving some funds there so when i do mtt session only i can fire up more micro mtts

    #Day 9 the fall off

    i fell of the wagon on day 9 as i decided to play a little off omaha zoom after pretty brutal day at mtts and managed to lost around $50 bucks there, its hard to say why i decided to play plo, i wasnt even frustrated or anything i guess i wanted to play something different then usual, so before that i had session of mtts, played on 3 different sites(ps, ftp, 888) i was pretty close to FT the 2.5/1k guar as i was 1/16 for a moment but then the doomswitch got turned on and ive lost AA vs 99 and a flip 1010vsAK(BvB situation) also on 888poker was very close to FTing $3 700guar but i messed up really hard with dumb play and finished 11th, well lets say i tried to bluff him out of his pocket Aces, yep thats me lol, hopefully lesson was learned there.

    Also im pretty dissapointed with myself for ordering pizza as im trying to eat healthy and managed to do that for around 1 month which kinda sucks but im gonna punish myself for that at swimming pool on sunday, gotta burn off those calories!

    not posting a graph today as on PS ive played like 6 mtts without much luck

    plan for saturday is to grind some 180s and run gooot!

    also i started watching some poker streams and if u are reading this and are in a situation like mine where u are builiding ur bankroll id suggest playing in jcarverpoker homeleague, he is adding free money in every tournament + bounty on his head so go check him out @ http://www.twitch.tv/jcarverpoker/

    #Day 10

    Pretty sweet sng day, seems like loading around 14-17 tables and then playing them out without adding new ones works for me, i think i might stick with it for sng days at least for now till i build bigger roll, running and playing really well in 5/90s, binked 2 of those out of 17 ive played, also took 3rd in 2.5/180

    My plan for sunday is to focus on mtts as prizepools are pretty nice and a bink in one of it could boost my bankroll significantly, also might try some satties to bigger tourneys as they are really soft, especially on sundays
    ~2.5k to go!

    #Day 12 (and Day 11 as i forgot to post)

    hey there and sorry for that but i forgot to post update after sundays game, i made a semi FT in a 4.40 Progressive KO and got busted 12th pos K8 < K7 so that was kinda brutal but still made around 100 hundo profit so overall not a bad sunday. Ok so that was sunday, but lets get to they monday already cause thats what its all about! preety sweet run in 5.50 4k guar, i played really smooth this time, was chip leader from around 16th players left, played good ol slowball poker and let ppl make all the mistakes, which wow they did, seems like they wanted to donate me chips on every occasion and on FT i was sitting with pretty 2.2 to 1 chip lead (to 2nd place's stack) with 7 left i lost the lead after few misplayed hands but only for a while, and from that point i didnt lose my cl ever again, with three left i was stealing pots left and right and got to a HU with 2 to 1 lead but my opponnet played really well in HU and got nice rivers for him and he evened out the stacks, and tbh i felt like making a deal at that point, fast 50/50 chop and he even let me take 1st place for tlb points Great night!

    Biggest win of the day: $699.36 in $5.50 4k Guaranteed

    Day 12 in stats


    Starting Bankroll: $505.95
    Current Bankroll: $1151.28 (Profit +$645.33)


    plan for the next days is the same as usual, grind them 180s and 90s + few mtts each session (maybe gonna add few more to the schedule like big 8 for sure) also i think about taking a shot at 3r/180s with a strategy that i play it like a freezout without r+a, we will see how that goes

    plan for tomorrow is to probably do the same as today, start with some mtts then add 180s, still gonna try doing 3r/180s without r+a and maybe throw few 8/180s to see how they go

    gl there grinders, one more day like that and the goal is reached!
