It is time to get back to work.

I have just had ~6 months of taking it easy at poker, playing for fun.

Don't get me wrong, I try to beat the games but have definitely been in "relaxed" mode.

My poker story is one of many failures and very limited success (see my epic 2+2 thread here).

I have found a coach (remaining nameless unless I succeed) who will do me a coaching for profits deal for one year (once I meet a few criteria) and if I don't get to NL100 in that time I am going to hang my poker boots up.

I must play 60,000 hands per month.

I must beat NL25 for 1bb/100 over 50k hands and then the 1 year starts.

Coaching once per week.

Daily updates here (not coaches rule).

Short background:
  • Played 6max for years with no success but always loved it.
  • Went to BestPokerCoaching on their Coaching For Profits Oct 2014 and was breakeven for a year (and also ended up at Heads Up due to the 6 max coach quitting on us [thanks Fooz]).
  • Quit BPC and won $4kish in ~ 6months at HU bumhunting(graphs below).
  • Hated bumhunting, went back to 6max and fell back in love with poker.
  • Break even for ~4.5 months playing NL10 Zoom with 3 shots at NL25 Zoom (2 failed, 1 (was) in progress).

Winning Graphs (for feel good factor obv):





I need to reduce my sleep a little again (used to sleep 4.5 hours per night, don't recommend).

I need to play more hours and probably more tables (and take fewer breaks).

I need SELF DISCIPLINE.

I DECIDE to do this NOW...

Chris.

P.S. Ask me anything ofc...

Day 1 of 30

Hands today: 2138
Hands this month: 2138/60000
Stake: All NL10 Zoom
Net won = -$2.14
Hours: 3.13



Notes:
  • Thought I won a buy in or so.
  • Struggled to stay alert.
  • Played 30 minute sessions with 1 or 2 min break.
  • Focus was poor but probably better than I expected and hopefully will improve.
  • Played tight as hell.

If you have a descent sample on this Villain his range is something like AK\QQ+. I would not have shoved pre vs this type of player when he 4b... but I'm a nit

AP: Shove flop. Small chance that he folds, but it's there, and as long as he not got Aces you have close to 50% Equity here.

Coaching

Lol, learned more in first session than ever before. Nice guy too, no messing, straight to the point.

So I need to change quite a few things. Probably will move sites etc right away to get better rakeback and get the hell outta this rake situation. I did not realise how bad it is!

Ofc it is not "impossible" but I need all the help I can get and also need to slow it down a bit and look at hands/board/villains, not click the buttons!

Ofc will come back to Zoom when crushing and outta micros...

Prob switch to HM2 which is cool as used it for PKR back in BPC days...

Hi mate.

Not sure but have got good offers for RB deals at ipoker and microgaming available, so if I can get a decent deposit bonus as well I might do one then the other!

Do you (or anyone) know if HM2 tracks hours played? I seem to remember the PT4 stat for that was totally unreliable!

Slept about 5 hours last night - maybe will end up going back to that mallarky again!!! Brain fizz!!!

Lol quote from coach last night... "Hmm, you seem to be a little nitty?" - understatement of the year award!!!

I am going to have to change hands target to hours target and adjust for rest of month. Pointless if I will play reg tables trying to get to 60k LOL!!!!!!!

Kept changing my HUD in game. Loads to get right changing to HM2 from PT4. Played at Zoom NL10 still today rather than change EVERYTHING in one go!

Profit today = -$10.98

    Not sure I deserved to be BE tonight, made a couple of stupid calls and lacked discipline.

    Played 3 hours and 2053 hands.

    Spent a bit of time looking at other sites and RB deals. Maybe Party is soft these days? Could try and clear a bonus there too...

    Maybe will dump this thread tomorrow as the 60k hands this month has changed as a target.

    Trying to think how many days to give myself to get to (and beating) NLZ100. Thinking around 18 months max...

    Any support would be really appreciated, thanks!
