Hey there
My name is Lukas, i'm 23 years old and this is my second pgc blog on 2+2.
The last one wasn't updated due to low motivation and too less time.

I am trying to grind my way up from nl5 6max zoom and will document it all in here.

People like graphs, so i'll start with one:



For this blog i restart all of my HM2 stats (my database is way too big anyway, because i haven't cleared it since 2013). So the next graphs will pretty much start from zero hands.

Goals for poker and this thread:
- Play 25k hands per week / 100k hands per month
- Post at least 5 hands in this blog, as well as in the handanalysis section
- Update this thread at least one time per week with graphs and hands
- Post one quote that i like with every weekly update

I hope that you are going to enjoy this thread!

See you at the tables / in here :-)

I'm back with the first update.
Well the transition from SnG's to cashgame is quite harder, than i thought.
Basically because my postflop game isn't too good yet.

Here is the graph for the week.



[x] Play 25k hands per week / 100k hands per month

Well volumewise i'm pretty happy. The results, yeah lets just say i paid a lot of "learning money" and hope that it will pay off sooner or later.
With my current results + rakeback my BR is now at 185$ approximately.
I hope this week will include more table winnings.


[-] Post at least 5 hands in this blog, as well as in the handanalysis section

Well i failed at this one, but here are some hands :-)

            Well early blog update.

            Today i got my 300$ BR together, to shot nl10.

            So here is my complete NL5 graph:



            After that i played my first session NL10 which went better than i expected:



            Right now i have 15 Stacks for NL10 before moving down again. I obviously hope that won't happen.

            And here is my fav. hand of the session (that was a sick cooler for him )
