Congratulations on your May results dude and good luck for the future.

Out of curiosity, you said you are back to work this month, what do you actually do for work?

Thx bro I’m a corrections officer

Rough start to the start of the month. Super frustrating getting 4 outered and 2 again and again and again. Gonna be a grind this month I can already tell but no problem I'll dig myself out of it. Hardest part is putting the volume in but I'm motivated to keep grinding. Down roughly 30 buy ins.

Would say it's akin to working out. It's only your max until you push yourself for more. I've hit as high as 63 tables (i'm generally in the 25-40 table range so that's not my normal) and worked with a lot of people to know that's no where near the cap even for those that lack the natural talent to mass table.

In no way am I saying go try 25 tables tomorrow or ever. I am however saying it's worth while to try to work up to more. That being said if you grind solely WSOP you're also limited by how many games will run at once.

Yea I like that. That will be difficult for me.. Today was my first day playing in like a week work has been killing me with overtime. Been working 2pm-6am on the reg. Like you pointed out with lifting, consistency is also important, hard to advance/progress when you aren't playing on the reg. I set up another monitor which helped alot now I'm adjusting to playing on both of them. Been doing 15-16 tables and that felt like a lot. I can follow the action fine but some postflop spots I have to think what to do in a split second which isnt ideal. Something to work on I suppose.

Sup guys decided to bring this thread back since it’s relative to my new goals. Since returning back to work I took about 2 month break from poker got back into fitness and diet in tact. Since then, dove into MTTs with my new roll being around 4k playing around 20 tournaments per day roughly twice a week.

Unfortunately I had to bust my roll open due to unforeseen bills coming up so just withdrew 2k and now I’m gonna start over grinding $5/$10 sngs on wsop with my roll being 1.5k. I’ll take some shots at $25 games when the player pool is soft.

My goal right now is to get my bankroll up to 2k as soon as possible so I can take some more shots at $25. That means $500 profit in 2 months might be a bit much but the games are soft so there is a def a chance. Lets end 2020 on a good note, let’s go.

-- Wasn't sure about this one but I think villain is repping a pretty narrow range and I have one of my best combo draws to bluff with --
Villain is a leaderboard regular who I have played a reasonable amount of games with. Would consider him an average regular.

Went from 8-tabling to 10-tabling today and felt pretty good. Ran pretty bad but took down 3 games in my first 10 games which helped a great deal. Tomorrow I have off from work so gonna try for 50+ sngs.

-Ran really bad today in sngs I felt like anytime my jam got called i was screwed. Just one of those days. However while I was 10-tabling sngs I played 2 MTT's one $11/15k which i bricked and FT'd $7/3kgtd.

Lost KK<77 aipf for last 12bbs so that helped recoop my losses plus some. 4th/226 players. $7-> $252.53

- Going through downswings always suck but despite losing 4 consecutive sessions being -$90.58 (-9 buy ins) is pretty small all things considered. Been fighting every session to breakeven and limiting the damage is key during these sessions. Not letting myself get down on losing 90% of flips and tossing away more chips as a result of a previous hand is key.
- Tomorrow I can grind a decent amount during the day so hoping to bring things back a bit. Going to study for 30-45 mins before sleep and grind at the gym tomorrow leg session/ cook prep my meals for the next few days then grind away until 6p-7p. Shooting for 2 medium sessions probably around 2 hours at a clip meaning 35-40 games is the goal.

- Obv running a bit better today, felt like I was playing a bit better too naturally but we all think that when we win so meh. I've reviewed some of my play and cutting down a bit on my preflop tendenices at the 10/20 level particularly early position.
- Pretty pumped about my 1.9k bankroll since I started this challenge on 10/30/20 w/ $1.5k bankroll and stated I wanted to get to 2k as soon as possible with a short goal of hitting it by the end of the year which was an aggressive goal. Making the FT in the $7r helped a lot but I have a new short goal which is +$300 profit in sngs by the end of the year. Additionally by Mid 2021 I would like to withdraw $800 to buy computer parts and end dealing with my laptop.

Edit: I just calculated my current profit since I started back this challenge on 10/31 and I am currently +214.51 (220 games) in sngs and +215.08 (5 games) in mtts
So by the end of the year I am shooting for +400 in sngs over 500 games which seems reasonable

- Had a great week volume wise, ran pretty meh but a step in the right direction. Studied a bit been working on ranges which has been helping 10-tabling knowing what the bottom of my shoving ranges are in key spots
- I'm setting a goal once I feel more comfortable with ranges knowing calling ranges on the fly, identifying re-stealing spots with 12-15bbs in particular on the fly I want to be able to 15-18 table. Play as many tables as possible while attaining a decent roi. Hourly rate meaning roi plus promos is what is important. This has to replace a part time job so if I want to continue doing this for years to come I need to hustle a bit.
- Right now it kinda sucks because I have to relearn all the ranges I knew all so well back in march/april/may when I had covid but I took a 2-3 month break so it is expected. Stay tuned.

- The rocky road continues. Been running pretty meh last week and even in key head up spots today villain shoves over my cbet with second pair bad kicker and draws out on me just a bunch of easy spots failing miserably. It's going to happen. Pretty terrible month so far running roughly 6.6% roi in sngs. Time for some head down graph up action. Soon to come.
- Missed updating my last session on 11/16 played 12 sngs dropped 2 buy ins.

-Pumped about hitting over 2k BR this month might play some MTTs later as well while I got 10+ sngs pumpin

- Had a super sick start to the month and additionally took 24th in the $12/25k gtd for the moss event for ~$110. Was chip leader for a large portion of the time lost QQ<AK when it mattered the most, gg.
- I noticed in the sngs due to studying I am accumulating more chips in key resteal spots that in the past I was giving up while multi tabling. I focused a lot of my time/ studyig to calling ranges within the scope of 10-12 bbs to a single shove and did not put in the work for identifying good spots to resteal. Just went with the standard suited boardways its likely a good spot for a resteal. Plus of course im running good in flip situations.
- Additionally was sweet taking down one of the $25's. I def need to add those in regularly and not get discouraged due to regulars reggin.

- Shaky week of playing but small downswings aint no problem, playing fine. Been studying a lot on re-stealing and calling ranges which has been helping. Slipped up last session upped my table count from 12 tables to 14 which was a mistake. Some close shove/ re-steal spots came up that i needed more than a milli second to think about and good hands were poppin up on mad tables I just think it was a bit much and its tough to even take notes on opponents shove ranges and calling ranges so I did not like that. For now 13 tables is the max. 12 I am comfortable with.
- Deposited $100 today for the dec deposit bonus so my goal is to clear 100 within 2 months which will be difficult but not impossible. It is $10 cleared per $50 raked. If i play 800 $10 sngs in 2 months that clears $80 so adding in some $25 that I been doing doubles the rake and as long as I dont give up much ROI it will be +ev to do so.
