Thats crazy that you say that because just yesterday i was discussing with my skype group how i hit my stop less every sunday! I dunno what it is maybe im not in the right frame of mind to play or something.

You obviously got some mental issues when it comes to sundays. I dont have any advice for you but maybe on sundays you could play less tables step down a limit. Or maybe focus on a specific area of your game. Like the next sunday you will focus alot on how to play from SB or maybe focus on your stealing from late positions.

Thats what's on the top of my mind atm. Good luck and i hope u reach your goal really soon your are veeeeeery worth it mate!

Hello HansTheGreat must say your result are verry good.I have great respect that you turned 50bucs so fast in 9k!!!Also when you hit that big downswing you keeped playing and turned it around verry nice.You say in your last post that you going to buy HH is that allowed??I Always tought it where not allowed to buy HH if iam not mistaking you can only use your own HH.Also if it is allowed I think its not fair and its cheating because if you wanna have tells or reads from other people you should play for it and not use other people stats, also that would mean that the regs dont know nothing about you and you know alot about them seems like unfair edge to me!!!I would never buy HH dont wanna offend you but just my 2cents!!Also would like to here from gordon what he thinks about buying HH

Stake Report: NL20

@Ferocite
Most likely I will change that. But kinda always loved the Sunday grind. If it's profitable I guess no point in doing so.

@Eu.Era
Hahaha, funny coincidence.

@sooey
TX mate for the tips! Kinda might implement something similar....

@winkelstraat
Well, firstly TX for the nice words. About the HH it's something that I know a lot of players do(friends who play higher and have even subscriptions on the services offering HH). I also don't know if it's officially allowed but since there are many services offering HH looks like it seems legal. I think it's really up to debate about morality but then again is NC Edge or Advantage way different? IMO simply not but you can still buy it. If you buy HH this doesn't automatically mean I have an edge. I still have to be smart enough to use all that data that I got and actually pay the investment out. But it's true you have predispositions to gain an edge.
As far what Gordon thinks he might answer this himself if his sees this.


So guys,

As I got some demands for NL20 facts, stats, pics I decided to make them publicly. As always not nice results especially after the switch to € Speed tables where as already mentioned no matter what limit I play I couldn't win. But whatever guess I have to live with that and move on although it feels sick to run above EV and have such a high losing WR .







And as always I created a video. If you want to take part in the next one follow the instructions in the end of this one.

LINK(If video doesn't work)



GL and let's hope I might come back with the final update

Using NC is allowed by poker sites, yet buying HHs and making use of them is not allowed and in theory you can get your account banned.

Search 2p2 if you don't believe that at least Stars bans players that were caught taking this advantage that appears in TOS as being forbidden.

Hi Hans
One question regarding your stop loss tactic. So your Stop Loss is 5 Buy-in. What happen if you hit this. You quit your session and take a Break? Or you quit for the whole day?

BR M.

What's HH?

Hand Histories.

Challenge Day: 87&88

@Dovidiu
TX for letting me know.

@deepblue007
Well, my stop loss is normally 5BI. When I reach it(700$ on NL100 since I play on different currencies) I press sit out next BB and call it a day. Sometimes I lose 1-2 BI more while quitting but that doesn't happen that often. But yeah once reached stop loss the playing day is over and the only thing what I do poker related is some off table work.


So guys,

Monday was interesting I would say. It was one of does days when you simply can't do much against a fish. They simply run good and their bad plays get award. But I actually took it from a positive side, TBH. I enjoyed seeing 2 fish maniacs both around 70-60VPIP, 20% 3B running over the table and being 500 - 600bb deep at the end. I also found interesting that the 4 other regs + me at the table had an eye spot on them but nobody could do anything so almost all of us gave 1BI to them. I honestly don't have really a problem when they run so good and end the day in profit so hopefully come back tomorrow so I might get the chance to get the money back and earn some more. It's simply nice for me sometimes to see fishes having good time.

Anyway yesterday, I was running pretty good mostly when it comes to AI. I think most flips went my way so I can't really say much besides that with yesterday big win I FINISHED THE CHALLENGE.

I will write a longer review about it later to collect all the facts but this are the facts for the last 2 days:





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 9287.45$(LAST UPDATE) + 1081.33$(WINNINGS 2 DAYS) = 10 368.88/10 000$

Will be back later for a more extensive update with some (interesting) facts about the challenge.Cya!

WOW
congrats!!!

Nice... couldn't have happened to a better person... ( Except me of course )

Congrats Hans... but sadly you disappointed Bryan by a week...
Gotta admit he got a lot closer than me, but ofc i also predicted this somewhat by saying "if you dont run into a downswing" or something similar as i recall.

It's been nice to follow your journey here, and i look forward to what is going to happen next.

Stats here looking really good, you are clearly running good right now, all sessions above ev... keep doing what you are doing.

Only 1 problem here... I think you broke BPC site with that post... Tried to answer in there, but it broke down completely.

wow so amazing dude and impressed. I am so curious as to whats up with ipoker now that they are using the euro. I'm convinced it has to be something but not sure what. Same thing happened to many people slight winners but def winners turned into losers or big losers, and sample size at usd is huge, do you have any thoughts besides rake? Do you enjoy playing reg tables or speed more? Thanks and congrats.

gratz!

Congrats mate!

Challenge Report

@Hypno
Yeah, I kinda feel bad for Bryan. He really got close with the prediction.

@kerwinty
I honestly I don't wanna have a clue. I simply think that the results on iPoker contradict that it might be time to change room and leave the RB. Because that worked for me when I switched to normal tables where I enjoy my time way, way more and in the end since the switch over I almost have a 10bb/100 WR on NL50 normal over just 50k hands.


So,

I guess it's time for report/review about my challenge.
First TX to all of you following because it gives the blog more sense and sort of forced me always to continue. It's always very good to see some positive words as well some critic along because in some sort of way both pushed me forward.

I think I should start with facts, right? :P

(Interesting) Facts

Hands Played: 448 797( I think about 2k hands untracked)
Time Needed: 39 290 min = 654h 50 min = 27 days 6h 50 min
Hands/Hour: ~ 685
WR: 1.68 bb/100
EV WR: 2.48 bb/100
Overall Rake: 19 901.29$
Hourly: ~ 10 000/~ 655h = ~ 15$h
Biggest Pot Won: 306.38$
Biggest Pot Won: 326.38$

Now some pics:







Thoughts
Well, I have sort of mixed feeling. I'm not in love with my results but I can't be disappointed either because of 1 month where all the winnings and the hard work got destroyed. Because November and December were awesome in terms of quality but January and the switch to the € brought something to me still unexplainable(although I do realize some of it). The switch to normal tables brought me on the right track and now it's on my own to work more and get better since I have now a BR that gives me a lot of options.

I definitely wasn't the sickest crusher out there and also not the one who showed who to reach 10k achieving the sickest WR. But for me personal it was a great experience and from all this ups and downs I learn a lot. I guess it could have been done earlier but I'm now more the ever aware of my strengths and weakness. But yeah, time for a new goal!

Future Plans
Basically the next step is 100k$.
Can't say if it's gonna be this year already but I will give my best and see where it gets me. Also the biggest difference is the fact that from now on until most likely the end of the year I will only live from winnings. The reason so it's because most of RB that I will get will come at the end of the year when I reached some annual/semi annual/quarterly VIP status that will give me a better RB %. So winnings only for a while I guess

I have short term/Step 1 goals:
1. Win 50 BI NL100
2. Learn to plan the hand
3. Think about adjustment every time I learn something new about my opponent

That's it. Not much to add but I guess I said enough already. GL!

GL with your new goal!! I guess 100k is going to be a bit more difficult than 10k though.

Lol...
Were thinking about that comment last night too...

Good job! Which sites are currently in your "site pool"? Do you play any speed at iPoker?

Challenge Days: 89&90

@fulltiltjoker
TX mate! I think every new challenge will be harder then the previous one so the motivation doesn't drop.I guess otherwise it wouldn't be a challenge but rather a routine.

@About the quote
I really forgot about this

@Lumpizaver
TY!About my site pool I won't really discuss but I definitely left Speed. I mean at least for now and I think I had enough fast poker formats for a while.


Hi guys,

I guess it's for an update. Anyway I played something on Wednesday but after a bad play(in terms that I didn't think things through/put the reg on a wrong range) and a couple hands later I made a spewy play which I didn't do in months I decided to snap quit(felt some smallish tilt inside me) and C it a day. The spot wasn't that bad(trying to F my opponents str8 by repping a FH) since my image and perceived range make it kinda of good-ish but I don't make money there by trying to make people F big hands.

On Thursday I had some RL things/issues to clear/do so didn't really play but rather did some off table work. Yesterday I was feeling really well at the tables as time passes by I feel my edge more and more over the field. I think I feel like I'm improving, I have more freedom in my game and the coachings get just better and better. So are my lately results as well getting better and better. Anyway here are the facts for the last 2 days:





TOTAL CHALLENGE: 10 368.88$(LAST UPDATE) + 423.93$(WINNINGS 2 DAYS) = 10 792.81$/100 000$

So now over the weekend I'm taking some time off because of the carnival festivities that are taking place in front of my flat but next week I will be back to full speed grind.

February Report

So it was a fine month I guess. I mean volume wise since I played normal tables and got almost 100k hands I shouldn't be really disappointed. With FDB and winnings I won over 5k$ so about that I can't seem to find any space for disappointment. I'm not overwhelmed with the results but I see improvements and also the 2 most important goals where reached. Anyway this is the graph for the month:





Can't wait for Monday and the grind to begin. But first I will enjoy my 2 days off. GL!
