Didn't want to keep updating when I wasn't exactly sure what my plan for the rest of the year was. But now I know.

I am going for 200k vpps and I will do it playing 100nl only. I will be making at least 1500vpps a day for the month so that I can finish on the 30th. It will require me to play 6000-7000 hands of hundo a day which is far from impossible. I will post the graph and VPP tally itt each day to keep me motivated.

Here is my 100nl results for November

I am now a lifetime winner at 100nl! I just hope I still am this time next month. Peace.

Today was a good day

Played 6722 hands and made 1503.85 vpps

a bit disappointed with the vpp/hand rate of just .22 I was hoping for ~.25 but I guess It might be lower because I didn't play any 100e. But other than that I couldn't of asked for a better day!

Played the 6722 over two sessions which was a lot more difficult than just doing it in one. The last 1k hands was a big struggle. Tomorrow I will definitely try and play it all in one session with a 10 minute break every ~2k hands

Hand 21

Vs agro reg.

Was really hating life here

Don't think this shove on turn is profitable into two players, seems a bit meh/suicidal. With a shove, you will only get called by the nuts pretty much, so this might not be a winning shove. Glad it worked out though.

Hmm tough spot, but I think you can find a hero call here, as you have a club blocker. He might have an eight some of the time, but you are getting good odds to call and there are still bluff hands in his range.

Hand 20

Btn is a std fish and sb is an aggressive reg. Frustrating but I'm sure it's a clear fold. Looking back it's also clear I should have folded the turn.

I think the sb maybe is bluffing in this spot. Your range looks weak when you call the flop, probs put you on AceX type hands. Plus he knows you are a reg, so when he donks into 2 players on the flop, it looks strong, but he might try and pick it up here with random draw / one pair plus draw hands. He's repping a boat basically on river, does he play his sets like this? Flop I think he would check raise wiht his sets?

Just $300 on the tables today, babe. Although I did clear a $1600 bonus. So you could say it's nearly a 2k day.

Because the fish was in the BB I definitely thought you had QQ+ in your range and you definitely seem to value bet rivers thinner than most regs so I thought if you had QJ/KJ you would b/c river vs this fos line and I would feel baller as hell. It's probably still really bad as I would run into 44/78/KQ/JJ a lot more often but after not x/r the turn it would of been a crime to not do so on the river.

Hand 25

Similar hand. Only this time vs a dog**** Moldovan station reg. I think this hand is played pretty much perfect vs him tbh. He would probably look me up with KQo 100%.

Made 1307.20vpps today. I will make 1600vpps at least tomorrow and Thursday to make up for it.

I currently have 158,150.60 for the year so I need to make 1494.62 vpps per day to finish on the 30th. But I would like to try and make a few hundred more on a lot days so I can take some extra time off around Christmas.

Going to try and fix my sleeping schedule tonight as I will be playing ~14 hours tomorrow and I don't think the best 14 hour window to play is between 3am and 5pm UK time.

Peace.

Hand 24, not x/r turn seems like a crime. so many JQ, TJ, JK, QK, Etc in his range, you need to protect. Then check raising a river that hits that range seems kind of bad. Can't see a good player calling off with JQ and JK in that spot, essentially turning your hand into a bluff.

Hand 25: standard

Hand 26: How do you know he's south korean?

Hand 27: Seems standard. I really don't mind his line tbh.

Hand 28: No balls

Didn't win the hand and I wasn't very active on that table so I only won $231.50. But still, it's a free $126.99 So I won't complain.

@MadamIamAdam Ty!

@LordRiverRat yea, it doesn't look pretty, but I don't use any pop ups or anything and so I just cram all the stats I need onto the HUD.

Sorry I'm not updating this daily. After I finish my sessions i'm just so exhausted that I don't feel like doing a write up on here.

Here is month to date

at 164,262.64 vpps atm. Going to try and make ~1700 a day for the next 20 days so that I can finish with plenty time to spare.

Reasonably happy (although certainly not overjoyed) with how I am playing and I'm sure keep playing like this and maintain the volume then I'm sure I'll have really good December.

Nah vs this guy you're going to see 66/85s 80% of the time I reckon. I think I rep the nuts credibly due to the fact that my unsuited Ad with no second pair are probably a favourite to fold. And I think this guy is nitty enough in these spots to lay down 66 and 85. Especially since I don't think i'm viewed as very bluff happy.

Just going to grind out 7500 hands a day for the next 20 days. I get about .22/hand so 7500/day should be plenty. I wouldn't say 200k was in the bag but I would give myself at least an 80% chance of getting there for sure.

Really good day today!

Was break even for a few days so it feels really nice to get that heater.

As much as I hate to admit it, I think he's a very good reg. Which is why I'm a little surprised he couldn't fold river. Not complaining though. I feel like such a boss every time I stack him.

guy plays like 12 tables with a 19/8 style. If you play 100nl fullring I'm sure you know who I mean. He throws loads of curve balls pre and post flop and just generally makes my life hell tbh. Really satisfying to stack him.
