Hi guys I'm back again, this time with a graph!
I arrived in Malta this afternoon after partying with some of my friends and skipping my nigh sleep unfortunately. I got in bed for 2 hours until I was woken up by some fireworks. Apparently there is some kind of festival going on here...
I screwed up my upswing of the first day a bit that same night. Ending up 2k in ev and up 1.5k in net winnings. From now on I'll be posting graphs of my sessions. Here is the graph that it's mainly about. Unfortunately I play several computers and several networks, so this one alone doesn't show the 150k I was talking about, but if need be I'll upload all the graphs. Hopefully you guys are getting the point after this one!
Currently in a session in which I'm up 350$ Netto and neutral in EV. Hope to break the 10k mark within 7 days (at 5k now). Will be putting in around 100 hours this week so I can't put the blame on the time investment.

At the moment I am wrapping up my 7 hours session after my power nap. Six in the morning here so time to go to bed. Curious what time I'll be waking up after missing the night. Hopefully around 4 in the afternoon so that I can enjoy the sun a bit. Was watching the 2nd season of suits, which I started watching after I was introduced to the series on the airplane to my trip to Sri Lanka. I know I'm very very late with it, but it's a great series in my opinion and recommend it to everyone who has not watched it yet.
The session went very good, after winning decent money I decided to target some fish at somewhat higher stakes and that went better than expected, so closing the computer with a very satisfied feeling. I'm hoping for a similar score tomorrow and then I can start dreaming about buying rachel with the money that I'll earn this year.
Here are the graphs:
If you guys have any questions please ask them, I'm planning on mixing in some personal stuff as it'll be pretty boring to only upload my sessions every day. cu tomorrow!

Hi guys back again for an update!
So just before I went out for shopping and lunch I played just a few hands before my iphone was loaded and I was on the most extreme heater I could wish for. Here is the graph:
Returned at the tables after that and the poker god decided that two sessions running above EV was more than enough. It started off rough but I managed to stabilize my EV winnings. My netto winnings however, were running into the red faster and faster. Although I'm capable of taking losses with minimum influence on my game since I've been gaining and losing such big figures, it started to get a bit frustrating when I reached -4k. Just at that point lady luck decided to help me out a bit and this was the result:
While I was writing this down the netto line even stabilized even more:
I was hoping anyone can provide me some music mix on youtube or something. I'm into RnB so hopefully I'm not the only one, but other mixes are appreciated as well!

so after this massive downswing you still dont understand the importance of BRM?
if you think BRM is just about the financial risk you have much to learn.
hint: theres a level of comfort that comes from playing in games you are properly rolled for.
also did you mention how many hands you played total before the downswing started? we need real info to give you solid advice and cheer for you.
hard to cheer for someone when they give every indication of a noob fish whining about his broken heater.

BABOOMMM
I'm back for more anti-BRM stories! hehe just kidding. I found myself a backer and it went quite easily as I hoped. He backs me for 200plo-1kplo (short buy in when soft table). At least, this was the case the 4th of September when he send me a substancial amount that should keep me going for some time. I had a rough start and was getting on the bad side of set-ups and running horribly in 4-bet+ pots. Then things started to change...
Played 12 hours pretty much every day and was doing my A-game most of the time. The backer is a respected high stakes player, so I was able to send him all the questionable HH for him to analyse. This pushed me into the right direction. After winning some money (and running quite a bit above EV) I stepped up the stakes to hunt down some weaker players. This went well and lady luck was paying back some debts she had on me.
The fact that I took breaks at the right time and didn't forget to relax (I did 14-15 hours of grinding the week before, and unfortunately not successful in netto winning, so I really needed this). A combination of all the above resulted in my session on 888 today. I played like god, I ran like god and this is what you get if you do:
I want to thank my backer for the trust he had in me. I know all bankroll nits are right, but it's not they quickest way to get at the point I'd like to be. So after all going broke (winning huge in EV anyway) wasn't too bad as long as I had the guarantee of being backed. I hope to be winning loads in EV the next couple of days and that this thread lives up a bit! Any questions/advice from me for you/advice from you for me please don't hesitate and post your thoughts.
This is a post-backed graph (so from the 4th of September):
I'm also playing on another network and I'm down $2.5k netto and something similar in EV. The total rakeback is approximately $2.5k. Hopefully you guys enjoyed reading.
May the odds be ever in you favor!
