Wow Just found your challenge, looks like your doing awesome, you started with $624.00 and now you have $1198.15? Awesome! Also there's still a lot of days left in the month and your really doing good on the volume too, with results like these I'm sure you could probably earn $1000 or more at 25nl each month also you'll be rolled for 50nl soon, but should proceed cautiously when moving up, anyway nice job so far!

1st session of Day 15

Sorry for the lack of update, the last 2 days had been really brutal. My profits since the beginning of the challenge had been almost wiped out due to the big losses for the 2 days. Finally I am able to book a winning session, so I guess I should post up now!

DOOMSWITCH FLIPPED ON!

End of Day 15

I intend to put in more hands, but internet on my side has been screwy and causing me to time out a lot. With that, I decided not to play on and call it a day with a 6 buy-in profit.

(can't upload graphs and post hand histories due to screwy internet!)

sick. i think this is a win even if you do breakeven for 100k hands because of rakeback. im guessing your going to get about 700-800$ in rakeback.

The main objective of this challenge is to see if I can beat 25NL over a decent sample before taking a shot at 50NL. Being sufficiently rolled is 1 of the criteria as well, so I don't know if I should actually move up if I am rolled mainly due to rakeback earnings.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but shouldn't the huge fluctuations in your graph coupled with your All in EV line tell you that you might not even be a winner at $25NL?

Today's poker environment is very difficult to beat relying on stats alone. The most successful mass-tabling grinders are only squeezing out 0-3BB winrate, and relying heavily on rakeback and other incentives provided by the sites.

If you want a 5+ BB win rate you're going to have to drop to 2-3 tables and closely observe the betting patterns of all of your opponents.

Yeah that is pretty bad even though villian was 3betting light. I need to remind myself that there is definitely a better spot and be patient about it.

Sorry to interrupt this thread but I cant resist. Dude, you would be way way better to play 20k hands on 4 tables than 160k hands at 5nl trust me.

gaisuke, how many tables are you playing? It looks like you're playing way to many. If you were to play less tables and spend some time away from the tables analyzing your game you could double your winrate in a week or two and move up a lot quicker.

I don't want to be a ****, just thought I'd give some advice as I've seen far too many people make the mistake of trying to put in a load of volume without actually trying to improve their games. After 100k hands they're still making the same mistakes as before.

Thanks for the advice Birkin. Usually I'm playing 12 but now I drop to a maximum of 9. I'll try my best to reach a good balance between volume and winrate, and I guess 9 should be optimal for now.
