Pretty interesting morning!

Happy because even if I started terribly I was able to keep the focus and do some very non-standard plays. It's very easy in a downswing to start playing super-robotic!

End of the day!

Went and came back from hell 2 times!

2nd session was pretty unlucky overall, but I even spewed 1 stack in a silly bluff vs unknown

Overall challenge graph NL2-NL10 till now:

NL10 is being swingy a lot till now, but it's an awesome mindset training

Bankroll @455€!

WTF is that redline bro? OMG!
NL2 and NL10 seems not to have so many calling stations ehehe

PS: nice girafe

It's a long time I'm telling it

average players here are not folding top pair+, but it's different from being a cs

actually i think they fold even more than they should

Didn't play the last 2 days!

Yesterday I went to Bellagio at the lake of Como (very beautiful city) and today had a lot of work to do left from yesterday! Tomorrow will be a pretty busy day too, but I really hope that I will be able to play a bit!

I will have a twitch streaming on Thursday, between 1PM to 3PM GMT

Kiranov · 10-19-2016, 05:57 PM

First session of the week, still super busy and I played in my free time. Had fun, so it was worth it!

Played pretty well IMO!

Bankroll @475€

Tomorrow early afternoon (if I end some work for my students I still have left) streaming on twitch!

ExpectedV · 10-19-2016, 09:03 PM

Gl bud will be following. My goal is to get out of the micros too.

toolazytoplay · 10-20-2016, 09:18 AM

When will the stream be on? I think i got confused w the timezones lol

Ssebass · 10-20-2016, 10:01 AM

Hi

On a post you mention "hit my stop loss!"
What do you set to that?
How many hrs have you invested in the challenge?
Do you play tournaments too? Have we seen you in any?
What is your YT channel?

I'm loving the post so far. Hopefully I can catch the next streem on twitch.

GL

p0ker_n00b · 10-20-2016, 10:10 AM

lol GL your 25NL bankroll is $400 higher than my 100NL bankroll in my challenge - I am going pretty ridiculous aggressive but as long as you step up and down according to bankroll , then it really doesn't matter. I just failed my first 100NL shot so bankroll went from $800 to $600. I'm basically doing 8-10 BI steps So 10NL I need $80, 25NL I need $200, 50NL I need $400, 100NL I need $800 - It's definitely a bit swingy but it's working SO FAR lol

Well, with "stop loss" I didn't mean the stacks lots in a session, but the stacks lost in a stake. It's 5 stacks every time I start a new stake. If I directly lose them, I go back to the previous stake.

I'm trying to dedicate to the challenge as much time as I can. I would like to play 2h/day at least, but depending on my schedule I sometimes can't (as it happened in the last 3 days in which I played 1k hands).

At the moment I play MTT just for fun (it's a few that I'm not playing an online one actually), but I like them and I studied the game in the past

Here is my sharkscope graph:

My youtube channel is this one: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOr...8k_bMYj6LbU4XA

It's a few that I'm not posting, but I'm producing a lot of videos so I will be able to update it regulary from November

I told you I'm a bankroll nit!!!

GL for your challenge

Kiranov · 10-20-2016, 06:11 PM

Pretty swingy day!

I feel like I'm playing great overall, so super happy by now! Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit with some sick bluff, but my strategy seem working very well till now.

Bankroll @490€!

Kiranov · 10-21-2016, 06:25 PM

Just made one super little session today. Played ridiculously few and went ridiculously good, so we are satisfied

Bankroll @512€!

Hope that I'll be able to play a bit more tomorrow, but Dalai Lama is in Milan and I will go to his conference in the early afternoon. Should be pretty interesting!

Kiranov · 10-23-2016, 03:55 PM

Ah, the weekend

I lost a huge amount of super sick hands even if it doesn't look like from there, but today I feel like I played one of the best poker of my life.

Overall challenge graph update:

Well, apparently we are done winning at showdown

77s are the new AAs!!

Update from the last 2 days, didn't make it yesterday cause I played just 500 hands.

Not very satisfied with my play today, didn't run super-good but anyway made some costly mistakes that I really should avoid.

Kiranov · 10-29-2016, 04:36 PM

Hello everybody! I'm not updating in the last few days because... I can't sit at NL10 zoom tables.

Every time I try, this error appears:

The lol thing is that I can sit without any problem in any other table.

Already contacted the support and waiting for an answer! it's quite ridicolous.

Kiranov · 11-04-2016, 08:25 AM

Hello! I solved my problem and started playing again yesterday.

Played a lot for my standards in this challenge and it wasn't certainly my best day!

Ran above EV, but I would say I've been pretty unlucky in a lot of other spots. Didn't play my best poker either, so can't complain!
