Thanks!



An ok day I guess Pretty swingy.

BR: 141$

Ran very well today and I hit the 150$ roll!

Here is a re-cap graph for NL2:


It took quite a bit, but I also had better EV runs

And here are some positional stats:


I will take a small break from the challenge before starting with NL5, since my marriage is terribly close and I still have to arrange a lot of stuff. If my soon-to-be wife catch me playing Poker I'm probably a dead man

I will probably start playing again around the 24th of February, but I may post updates from my bachelor trip (scheduled 14-19th at unknown destination) and marriage.

Stay Tuned!

Hello Everybody!

I've been unable to play longer than expected, but tomorrow I'll finally be able to continue my challenge!

Re-cap of the last month:

- I've been 5 days in Budapest for my bachelor trip and got wasted every day. My friends created some "challenges" for me and most of them were a nightmare

- Successfully survived and got married right after. In 2 days I had to buy my wedding suit and collect my gf's (well wife now ) relatives in various airports in Italy. It was close, I found the shoes the morning of the wedding, but it went ok.

- Cold + stress + no sleep eventually got me sick. I got a fever which lasted more than 10 days.

- In Germany they tried everything to deny a work permit to my wife, even though her company was in desperate need of her qualification. After 2 weeks of ridiculous disputes, they eventually gave her.

- Had to do a lot of work I left behind for the Poker school cause of bachelor trip + marriage.

And now I'm almost 100% back, ready to kick some asses!

It's good to see you back, any chance of streaming the rest of the challenge?

Good to see you back, GL!

Yeah, I'll try to stream some session this week I will write here before the twitch streams.

Anyway today I played pretty few but certainly cannot complain, even if I lost a bit at the end of the session



2 cool spews from the day:





BR @ 158$

Didn't play yesterday and today lost 2 stacks!



Could've been worse

Ran so so and definetely didn't play my A-game, so it's ok! Tomorrow it's another day

I think tomorrow I will stream one session, probably around 12 GMT!

BR: 148$

stars micros are a different division imo compared to other sites, you will face a bunch of russians at nl 10 already reducing your bb/100 by a sick amount.

Brief 30 minutes session stream starting on twitch in aproximately 10 minutes!

why would you say they reduce the bb/100?

Anyway not a great day profit-wise, but really super happy about the game I expressed, unlike yesterday.



Had a lot of super-sick spots and I don't think I could ever do a + today.

Finally had a streaming even if I had some technical issues, sorry if it was quite short. I'll try to make the next one longer

BR @145$!

i hope that was supposed to be a troll.

Forgot to post my update yesterday, here are the last 2 days!



up & downs, but overall satisfied from my game

Met a lot of funny people, as an example the hero our world needs:



having quite a lot of fun overall!

Another BE day!



Maybe I ran some extra bluff, but I'm really running in a lot of top ranges so I'm not really worried so far

One cool hand from today:

Enjoyed your last challenge thread. Gogogo

Glad to hear that!

Didn't play much for the challenge these days, but it went ok:



I think I should avoid the vast majority of big bluffs and big calls on the River since they seem to work a bit less than in the field I was used to.

I would probably make an exception for 3barrels in 3bet pots since I saw many super lol over-bluffs from the regulars, but all other lines that put a lot of money in the pot look like nuts or nuts.

A lot of time passed from the last update, but was unable to play most of the time because I was in Italy for the holidays and I couldn't open stars.com

Here are the last 3 days' results:



Feeling pretty good, the adjustments seem to work pretty well and I'm finally in the right direction!

Will play much more these days and I'll probably do some streaming.

Hello, Kiranov.

Can we get another cumulative graph again ($) and (bb), please?

Also, how do your current winrates/experience compare at these stakes to the last time you did the challenge?

Not so lucky day!



Played quite well but the end of the day was just unreal

BR: 188$

The feeling at the table is not much different, I would say on .com micros' people tend to fold a bit more earlier in the hand and it's a bit harder to get value/thin value, but overfolding in general and not thin valubetting/bluffing enough is something both fields have in common

Relative to win rates, they are lower so far, but I cannot say still if it's due to less leaks in the fields or simple run.

you are the sickest troll ive ever seen tbh.
still dont understand why russian regs decrease your winrate?
Good luck figuring it out while playing 500k hands.

Well, I didn't know he meant regs most of russians met so far were all but that.

But yeah, I guess all regulars are supposed decrease your win rate whatever their nationality is.

Loved the first thread M8. No doubt in my mind you'll crush the .com field too. All the best.

New update, things are going ok!



Satisfied from the game I'm expressing, not really from the volume. I'm very busy with a new non-poker related project and that influenced a lot

Hello guys and sorry for the late update!

The fact is, I really played a few I'm in a ton of side-projects and I most days I found time to play just in the evening when I'm dead tired.

Good thing is that the few I played the quality of my game was pretty high, probably at its highest since I started the new challenge.

Here is the graph:


Really didn't leave anything behind

If things keep going well I will soon take some shot at NL10 to make things a bit more interesting

Hello guys!

New update:


Best upswing so far at NL5, not sure if cause of A-game or good variance, probably a bit of both

Today I'm leaving for Italy and will stay there until the 2nd of May, so I won't be able to play on .com for a week or so.

Anyway I plan to start a shot at NL10 as soon as I'm back, so I post a challenge update and NL5 (hopefully final) recap:
