Hi all,

I read on this forum forever and played a bit of poker once a while but nothing serious. I know I can beat the lowstakes if I want to. That's why I started my own challenge; 100 dollar to start at 2/5 cents and try to get up to 25/50 cents with some decent BRM.

I don't have loads of time to play cause I work like 50-60 hours a week, but I'm up for the challenge. I will post every session and feedback on hands I post are appreciated.

First session went well, EV won is 8,19 dollar, 25.92 bb/100.

Following hands not sure if I did it right.

I was kinda scared of the reraise so I called down, but in hindsight I better shove turn I guess, anything from 77-qq can call me down and with sets he probably bets bigger? (Have nearly no hands on anyone since I just started my database)

I know I played it badly, but please tell me what I can do to do this better.

I'll keep you guys updated

GL, OP. Generally, folks won't click on links to external HHs. Instead, use the hand Converter link in the top left and it will put them in your post.

Also, did you win EV (sklansky bucks), or actual money?

Thanks!

I'll do the HH's here, good tip.

My aim for now is to play 25k hands on 2/5 cents and see how I do. As soon as I've done those I know what is the best thing to study cause my leaks should be visible then I guess.

So far it's the EV bucks, but that's no problem. As long as the roll is healthy I'm fine with running bad. I know I tilted back in the days when running bad, but this challenge will keep me motivated.

So done another session; might play a few more hands tonight. Ended up 7,12 dollars after 905 hand; 15.73 bb/100. Net won; 0.75 dollar

So didn't win the crucial ones but it doesn't matter. Following hands I have my doubts. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

    I guess I should have folded, but that's results oriented. The guy I played like 150 hands with and he was 60 vpip +-. That's why I thought he was full of it. Any tips?

      Any other way to play it? I don't know if this was the best I could do here or that I lost value...

      For now; 1537 hands total; All in EV 15.31. Actual winnings: 5.30 dollars.

      Maybe I will post some more later tonight.

      Short session; 284 hands; EV +6.13

      1 interesting hand in my opinion, and I'm not really sure.

        I nearly folded river but decided that JJ or JQ was possible as well. Probably should've bet folded instead?

        This one is just pure gold. Overplaying aces for the win.
