I've been running like ***** in the past couple of months, and that is affecting my confidence and it is making me play terrible at times.
I love poker, I love the challenge of battling other poker minds and try to be victorious. And, ofc, money helps
Adversity is definitely a gateway to success! I think that times like this make us stronger. Make us work more and more, and work is the key word in crushing any limit in poker (a strong will and never giving up, also).

I play micros NLHE cash (mainly NL10 and NL25 - I already played higher before, but I stopped playing for a long time and i'm now rebuilding my roll) and I decided to create this challenge to motivate me and make me accountable for my own goals:

-300k at around 8.5 ev bb/100, trying to move up in stakes as soon as possible.
-Try to reach NL100 in this period.
-Try not to tilt, and to be really disciplined with my roll, my time, and my goals
-Not play a single ***!ng donkament

I work full time, so this thread will help me keep motivated to put some volume, work and time in my game.
I would also want to show that even in 2017, if you really want to make it work in Poker, it is possible.

I'll start in NL25 (both zoom and normal) with 32 buy ins (800 euros), playing in stars.pt. I'll always take shots to the next level at 35/40 buy ins of that level, and always move down when I reach 20 buy ins .
I'll try to update the thread in each 5k or 10k hands played, with some interesting or stupid hands.

Let the games begin!

Well, I'm kinda ashamed that I only got to play around 8k hands in this time frame. It's really challenging to work, go to the gym, spend time with my girlfriend (who I live with) and still study and play poker.
I'll post a graph in each 25k hands milestone. So far, I made 10 buy ins and felt like playing solid (some bad hands still ). However, I always feel like i'm doing something wrong when I have a bad session where I don't run well and have to fold a lot to barrels etc. There's something really annoying to me to see that redline dropping like crazy
I'll spend the rest of the month trying to bring some more volume and trying to fix some of my still major leaks:
- Not raising/X-R flops enough;
- Not 3betting enough, especifically on the BB;
- Not calling down enough versus agression in 3bet pots;
- Not 4betting enough.

I'll also try to update my hud, probably with one more popup, since I think there's some important stats missing, that could help me in certain spots.
I'm now using:
Player name; VPIP, PFR, Squeeze
3Bet IP; 3Bet OOP; fold to 3bet; 4bet; fold to 4bet;
Cbet flop; fold to cbet flop; Cbet T; fold to cbet T; Cbet R; fold to cbet R
CO Attempt to Steal; BTN AS; SB AS; Went to SD%; WIn at SD %.; SB fold to steal; BB fold to steal.

And I have a major popup that gives me Donk bet%; Donk bet/Fold %; Flop stab when Xed to; Turn bet after X/X flop; Agression factor flop, turn, river and overall; cbet flop turn and river in 3bet pot; and 4bet per position.

Any major stat you would include?

...Gl on your goals....
