@Lumpizaver
TX neighbor! Actually we haven't discussed it yet to be honest. Possibly but the current focus is to improve and probably get a sample on NL200 to see where I'm at.
@MatiKosa
TY! Yeah that's what I believe as well. Yeah there is difference but as long as I daily work on my game/learn from mistakes I'm positive I can make it. But I guess time/volume will show.
@Avizura
You're welcome!
@Gut_shot
I will give my best!
Hey guys,
Weekend is over I relaxed for 2 days(since I'm going to grind daily exactly 1 week before going on vacation) and just finished my today's 10h grind. Not a lot to say besides that I mixed games because I still table select NL200 and there are times that I'm not satisfied with the quality of the games and add a little bit of NL100. Still overall feel pretty comfortable playing NL200 and the results for now are way over the expectations.
Also in the next couple of days are probably gonna buy myself CREV and spend more time learning it. I'm so happy when I think about working on my game. It just motivates me so much when I did today some EV calcs about 4B shoving spots. Probably not the hardest once but you have to start somewhere
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 22 203.75$(LAST UPDATE) + 3 623.36$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) + 13.85$(FDB = 10€) = 25 840.96/ 100 000$
That's it for today. Off to bed! GL!

@kerwinty
TY loyal follower!
@Bazzzzza
TX! Yeah, it's a coaching for profits deal.
So guys,
Quick update. Played again mixed(NL100 & NL200) on Thursday and finished another positive day. Today/Friday was a short because I finished the session pretty quick reaching my first stop loss on NL200. Not much to say besides that I missplayed 1 hand(too big of a hero C/reads over used) and took some suboptimal decision in some spots. But yeah I played OKish overall but you can't win every day
. 
But looking from the positive side I can add something instead of deducting from the challenge balance
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 25 840.96$(LAST UPDATE) + 818.96$(WINNINGS 2 DAYS) = 26 659.92$/ 100 000$
Cya guys on Monday when I will publish my last update before going on vacation. GL for the Sunday lotteries.

Ola fellow poker players,
Now to bring this last update before I hit my road for my Easter vacation. This time there is more to say/update so let's get right into it day by day since each of this days was pretty interesting.
Saturday
Biggest winning day in my life. I mean a +5K$ day on the NL200 tables can't be that bad. NL200 regs spewing/playing fancy all over the place, never having their top of their range, fishes doing one stupid things after the other and so it led all together combined with a an extremely solid performance of mine resulted in my best day ever.
Sunday
Hit the NL400 tables. PM Gordon as soon as I saw monster fishes hitting the NL400 tables in the lobby and we set down and played for a while. We were close to get a full stack but the fish F OTR. A couple of minutes later I found myself on the wrong side of a preflop cooler and so I decided to quit it. I will give myself always 1BI shot a day for NL400 when I see some nice fishes hitting the tables.
Monday
Pretty short playing day with a lot off table stuff that has to be done before hitting vacation. It's always the same when I wanna go on vacation. Don't wanna leave some left overs so everything should be done so I can really relax and enjoy my vacation. I also once again played mixed due to not so awesome traffic.
So this are the last 3 days in a visual way:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 26 659.92$(LAST UPDATE) + 7 080.31$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 33 740.23/ 100 000$
Well the fact is guys, I run extremely hot. I mean look at this graphs below variance can be so sick whenever you think you understood it bounces back to you right in your face and tells you ''You will never understand me completely''. Guys I improve everyday a bit and I really feel how my game evolves but 14bb/100 after over 30k hands + running a couple of BI below EV on NL200 for real? On one side I'm of course extremely happy but on the other I can't wait to see my real results and my work.
Month
NL200
That I really continue on working on my game despite running hot I bought myself CREV and already learned some interesting things which I didn't know. A pretty interesting tool and it will take a lot of time from me to fully get the most out of it. Although the hypothesis might sometimes be wrong/ you don't give people a certain hand in their range because you haven't expected that/ the random factor you can still learn a lot.
Anyway I wish to each one of you happy holidays and I guess GL for those of you who will hit the tables! Cya guys, next week!

You're going to grind 2NL rather than get a job? What is that supposed to prove?
You're going to make $1 an hour for weeks.
You could be working and still playing and improving while supporting yourself rather than obviously not.
Get a job. Poker isn't going anywhere.
This is just irresponsible. Man up, you must still live with mom & dad.

Yeah that was funny...
Glad that Hans proved him wrong!
There were never any doubt he would though, watching how much work he has put into this, has been the most impressive part for me.
And also how he just said yes and accepted he was an "idiot", and changed his approach when he were shown and told how wrong it was.
That's the right attitude...

@SteadyBold
TX mate! Glad you like it.
@Eu.Era
I play on many networks and consistently scan the lobbies to get the best action going. So for me there is no softer or tougher because I choose myself what I think is a profitable table. Well, yeah to reach my goal there is a lot more work to do. Unlikely I can live forever on such a heater. But a man can enjoy it
@High Heat Conversation
Yeah, really funny if you I look back. Guess he wouldn't really do very good as detective either since he didn't guess one single thing correctly. But I have to admit TBH I really like such comments because they motivate more. The more they found on me the more motivate they give me and also TX to them I change my mindset as well. But in some sort of way you can't blame the guy because he just didn't know what type of cooperation is he insulting
@Everest17
Yeah I'm definitely running extremely hot. And yeah, I would agree I've came a long way but there is even a longer way to go.
@wellplayed
Send you PM about your question regarding PlanetWin365. Please understand that I don't wanna talk about this things ITT. And good guess me being on vacation
@kellerz
Was on vacation but now I'm back with an update. For now I don't really plan on opening a new thread.
@Magic_Ninja
TX Ninja! GL to you as well.
Hi everyone,
Back from vacation. Played over the weekend and with extremely mixed performances and feelings. But let's start day by day:
Friday:
First grinding day after the vacation things where pretty OK-ish but I already noticed that my C frequencies are totally off. And I noticed once again some small crazy monkey inside me.
Saturday:
Extremely overwhelming day for me. I was already overwhelmed with a bunch of infos on that day but when I hit the tables I wasn't really there. Again my current C frequencies are getting just worse and worse. After 1 spewed BI decided to quit. No point in continuing to play some C-D game.
Sunday:
I found some OK-ish action on the NL400 tables but there I'm not really loved by variance which is OK since I run hot on NL200. The games where pretty OK and I quit when I lost little over a BI. Didn't perform very well but didn't bad either. But after sometime again i noticed I make stupid C downs and after 2 ******ed hands of mine I decided to move down and hit the NL100 tables. I will play there until I get some discipline back and consolidate myself with my emotions.Probably at the end of the week I will get back on the NL200/NL400 tables.
So this is how things look:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 33 740.23$(LAST UPDATE) + 1 043.39$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 34 783.62/ 100 000$
Haven't found time for CREV but hopefully the next couple of days I will starting to work more intensely. So NL100 for next couple of days until I rebuild some solid discipline/control my emotions better.
Cya guys!

@Soldier_of_God
You mean planetwin365? I PM you about that.
So guys,
It's time again for an update. Again mixed feelings. It's getting better I consolidate myself but still I'm playing currently somewhere in between like donk and very solid play. For example I play for like 5-6h then 1h complete madness and find myself on the side of donks. I feel like I'm getting a little bit back on track so hopefully until the weekend I will find myself again with a solid disciplined strategy that brought me this awesome month. I currently have to admit that for me there is no better pleasure then if I played really good poker. Having a winning session is always nice but sometimes I do feel a little bad when I had a winning session but I felt I played bad/got lucky. Anyway here is what I came up with:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 34 783.62$(LAST UPDATE) + 870.57$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 35 654.19$/ 100 000$
So I waited on purpose to make the update today so I can summarize the month. So let's jump into that.
April Report
Well I can actually describe this month in pretty short words : MY BEST MONTH EVER! Could have been even better money wise if I didn't go on vacation and didn't get out my grinding zone/swings with my performance at the tables. But yeah, I guess I take the 17k$ without RB.
Volume wise I also find it OK since I had 10 days vacation. As long as every month I can come up with at least 100k hands I won't complain. The month itself was of course and unforgettable one. I mean so many record facts in my poker career:
- My first +10k$ from profits only
- My first 5k$ day
- Started playing NL200 as regular almost and shot taking NL400
And all together looks like this:
Now there is IMO no need to say that I was generally speaking threaten extremely well by variance. I see the overall result(astonishing number) as gift from variance. But if I get back on earth I actually see that the most important thing has been done/accomplished and that's the fact that I improved. That's for me the current key IMO to finish this challenge. I would say I improved my skills in so many areas that I'm very happy how I'm developing. Also what's important is that I'm extremely aware what am I missing(my leaks) and that's something that prior Gordon didn't fully understand. So really looking into the new month with high hopes that it will be once again a month were I will improve even more. If I don't make that much profit it's fine because I finally might be able to add as well some RB
.That's it guys for April and today. Enjoy a nice day off and for those of you at the felts GL!

@Everest17
I have to say I like it as well!
@wellplayed
TX mate!
So guys,
This will be a short update. I played only Thursday and Saturday since Friday I had some RL issues. I guess the heater continues and so with a pretty B perfomance I managed to score a big win TX to NL400 and marathon grind of overall 13h on Saturday. But again not very pleased how I played especially in the end of the session. But yeah, after 13h of grind in a single day guess I will forgive myself. Although knowing that I already made my 48h for the week and tomorrow I can finally resent my notes in Note Caddy and create them based on NC Edge definitions(PC should be unusable for like 15-16h) so I guess it was really worth the effort today. Anyway this is how things look a like:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 35 654.19$(LAST UPDATE) + 4768.76$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 40 422.98$/ 100 000$
So that's it for today!Now off to bed! CYA
