2019 Twitch, Poker, and Weight Loss Goals!
https://www.twitch.tv/EnjoyLife73
I am a new Twitch Streamer streaming by the name of EnjoyLife73. I am unsure how to really get a good following on Twitch, as I only stream for a couple of hours at a time. My Twitch goals for 2019 are to qualify for affiliate. I need to average 3 viewers per stream (currently at 2.18) and get up to 50 followers (currently at 7). This should be pretty achievable, if I keep at it.
Last year, I turned $50 into $1,205 playing Cash, Zone (Zoom), SnGs, and a couple of MTTs, along with some bonuses. November and December were both losing months, but I seem to be back on an upward swing.
I started using Holdem Manager mid-March 2018. I managed to get all but the $11 Stake of Sit n Gos out of Negative territory. The $11 SnG is only in the red by $5 out of 25 SnGs, so that should be easy to get out of the red.
My Cash/Zone poker is a different story. I did pretty good at Full Ring cash, but wanted to get into Zone poker, as I can play 500 hands an hour over two tables. That is 6-man, so I had to change my strategy a bit to get used to it. It took threee tries at it before I started winning. My goal is to turn all of the stakes that I played at Cash/Zone into winning stakes.
I will start at the 5NL Zone until I get that back into positive territory (about 10 buy ins). I will then concentrate on playing a lot of hands at 25NL Zone, until I get the bankroll to move up. In my spare time, I will go back and get positive in 5NL Full ring.
As far as MTTs go, I did get a 1st and a 2nd in 2018, but I don't play them near enough. I find it difficult to be able to carve out a possible 5 hours to play these. I will have to figure that out. I do not have enough played to determine how much of a winner I am, if I am even a true winner.
I am also doing a weight loss challenge with four co-workers. It will be by % weight loss. I will be going on a 2 week cruise early this year, so that will make it more difficult, along with a road trip that will be a little bit longer than a week this summer. Given those two main vacations, I still think I will be able to lose quite a bit. My initial weigh in at work was 193.6 lbs.

Only up $6.04 through January 5, but that is with a $20 downswing at 5NL
1/1/19 +$1.75. Played for 1.5 hours. Session started down 2 buy ins down after 120 hands. Only one bad beat where my TT<T9 all in on the flop of 292. The turn brings another 9. I was favoured 91%.
1/2/19 -$19.94. Played a short session of 35 minutes, as I ran into a bad beat with AA<JJ all in preflop and also ran into a cooler with a 3-way pot AK<AT on a ATx flop. The third guy tagged along since he hit a flush draw on the flop. I raised, AT 3-bet, and I 4-bet. I didn’t put him on AT on the flop, since it was 4-bet preflop. I wasn’t hitting anything and was down 4 buy ins. Thankfully this was at $5NL, so it doesn’t hurt too bad. Bankroll is down to $1,187.70 after this evening.
1/3/19 +$15.37. Played for 1.5 hours. Session was up the whole time. It was pretty straight forward play. Just as I was winding the session down, I get AKo and got it all in preflop against QQ. We flopped an Ace and held.
1/5/19 +$8.86. Played for 5 hours. Session started up pretty quickly. I was up 3 stacks of 5NL a couple of times throughout the session. I do have a few hands to go over. This was my longest session of zone that I think I have ever played.
