End of 2016 Sprint: 150k hands in 3 Months

Week 1
Hands Played: 13,085/15,000
Total Hands: 13,085/150,000
Games were great this past week but I'm getting wrecked by fun players. Although I have been winning flips vs regs, which is nice I guess. Thought I'd have 15k but seems like I'll need to put in more volume. Plan is to to grind 1 hour after getting home from work before I do anything else.

Got really carried away with volume in the first few days when fish were godmoding and sitting with 500bb+ Pretty happy though as I played my A game despite the initial beat-down.
1) Pretending I'm isildur1
2) No thin value allowed
3) Sometime I have it too
4) Moby Dick is that you?
5) The hand that pushed me to play 23k hands this month...
Not sure if I will be getting too many hands in next week given the long weekend. Hoping I can dedicate one full day to hit 15k hands. But never been more motivated to grind. There's a new reg on WSOP that has been giving me a lot of trouble, looking forward to battling him in the coming weeks.

Very happy with volume given I was only able to grind for half the week. Still on pace which is great. Will be leaving in 6 hours for a weekend trip to Bermuda so no poker until Monday. Will post hands next week as catchup!

Running into some pretty strong turbulence, might start decreasing tables and start focusing more, especially when I start seeing these kind of showdowns:
Bermuda was pretty awesome. Trip was almost cancelled because the airport wasn't opening due to the hurricane a week before. Glad I ran good
The bluest waters I've ever seen:
-------------------------------
Took Friday off and will be heading to AC for some relaxation, AKA grind 14 hours a day for 3 days straight. Will try my best to run up some monster chips stacks.

Profit? I'll take it. Got in okay hands given that I was away for 4 days. Realized I have about 1.5 weeks of vacation I need to use, so I'll likely be making a trip or two to AC sometime before end of year. Hopefully I can hit 150k hands without having to count live hours.

Just got back from a 3 day spontaneous AC trip. Played in the fancy VIP room at the back for the first time, it looked much better from outside. Made $1.5k, but no monster stacks
Had a few close calls but lost a few 250bb+ pots with 75% and 95% equity respectively :\
Online poker volume will need a few good pushes in the coming weeks. Planned another 7 day trip to AC early December, so that's one extra week that I won't be able to grind online.

[QUOTE=fast11375;51285787]Week 11 & 12
Hands Played: 13,568/15,000
Total Hands: 125,097/150,000
Ended up playing 99 hours in 8 days for a profit of $5,075. Was trying to maintain $70/hr winrate, but can't really complain.
2 weeks left, 25k hands. Hoping to finish this strong. It will be a bit of a challenge as I'll be away with family for Christmas. Hoping to put in 15k next week and $10k week of Christmas & New Years.

Week 14 - Final
Hands Played: 13,760
Total Hands: 155,044/150,000
WOOOOOT! Only able to grind for 4 days this week, but ended up pulling some long hours the past few days to mark this challenge complete!
Tired as hell right now but I'll post a recap tonight or tomorrow morning, then taking the rest of the week off to celebrate new years.

In Depth Analysis
The results are by no means stellar. My 2016 winrate dipped from 4.5evbb/100 to 1.9evbb/100. Volume of hands might have affected it, but I believe some of the below changes I've been testing are the culprit:
Digging through my database, the biggest winners in 2016 seem to be playing a whole different strategy than what I have been trying above. Many have very high cbets around 65-80% and an aggressive top heavy 3betting style. These big winners don't attempt to balance their checking range at all and almost always folds after checking. Even more intriguingly, their river bets are dis-proportionally weighted towards value. Maybe it is the higher rake structure, maybe it's the player pool, I am not certain on why these strategies are working as well as they are. What I do know is that I'll be going through my database more in the coming days and reworking my own ranges for 2017.
Thank you all for following. Planning another mini PG&C for 2017 with a $$ goal. Stay tuned!

- Checking more GTO- Balancing stronger hands in checking and increasing C/R %. Overall cbet dropped from 48% to 38%.
- Defending much wider in BB - Started using UpswingPoker's BB defending strategy. It didn't work very well with the 5.5% rake structure in NJ.
- Decreased Aggression - My agression dropped as I tried to play closer to GTO. I felt in these weaker games, I am losing too much value by not playing an explotative strategy.
