This is mostly for my own accountability, which I definitely need.
Here is the situation: deposited $100 some time ago, playing NL2 and NL5 on ACR. I used to win at NL25 back in the day but that is long gone... so starting from scratch and I admit it hasn't been easy. At least not as easy as I remember.

I will post some small-ish challenges and come up with new ones once those are done.

[ ] Play 10k hands of NL2. Keep profit rate above 10bb/100. Move up.
[ ] Turn the initial $100 into $200.

Played 11k hands but didn't reach the winrate I aspired to. It happens when you run -10BIs under EV.

New week, same challenges.

Setting goals in terms of a minimum win rate is a mistake. But GL

100% agreed. But I needed/need something achievable and doable in a short time frame.

I might have got the wrong filter and some NL5 hands are in the mix too. Meh, doesn't matter.

[X] Turn the initial $100 into $200.

This week had its ups and downs as the graph below shows...

My review revealed I lost with KK a total of 5 BIs. 4 were pre-flop AIs, one was a flopped set versus straight. I tried to find other spots and maybe I could have saved 1BI when I played a fish very aggressively with an overpair. other than that it's just variance. I made more from RB than from winnings. Yay me.

New week, same challenges.

with valentine's day, a friend visiting, and some other work crap, I ended up playing only 3 small sessions. Came out BE. Previous challenges still to be completed, but I will throw in an additional one, maybe that can help me get some more volume in.

[ ] Play 50k hands of NL5
[ ] Shots at NL10 with ~30BIs
[ ] Have a 5BI day

good week overall. check graph below.

made a few mistakes and gave 2.5 BIs away on silly hands. it's all good when you come up ahead even when doing mistakes. I'm definitely playing better, no doubt.

last week was poor in both results and volume. 1BI down, ~5k hands.

I spent some time reviewing my hands and basically I took $$ from the "regs" and donated to the fish. replaying a hand where you triple barrel a fish (with air) hurts.
