awesome so far dude, I'll definitely keep checking this thread!

Thanks

Well another update, things have went nicely so staying at 5nl for good and will be 4 tabling from now on, had a nice session where really solid play and good reads reaped the rewards and boosted my BR nicely! Played about 700 hands.

Start BR = $95.32
End BR = $119.40
Profit = $24.08
Total profit readjusted = $103.77

Well really pleased with how the challenge is going so far, should be reaching 10nl at the end of this month hopefully! Depending how quickly I can get to 10nl, it may let me shoot for goldstar this month but if not will be next and definitely will keep silverstar for next month.

Wont be shot taking 10nl til I get to about $180ish.

[X] Concetration Levels improved
[X] 2nl complete

Going to watch the rest of the tennis and then may play later for an hour but going out tonight.

Bing Bang boom,

quick session of 600 hands, went well 4 tabling 5nl. Really just the same as 2nl but little bit more aggression and knowledge but thats a bit of an overstatement.

Start BR = $119.40
End BR = $131.78
Profit = $12.38
Total profit = $116.15

Well no more time to get ready and hit the town with the lads for a good drink. Really pleased with how everything is going, feel I am improving too.

Any good luck with your grinding and thanks for reading. Will put in a session tomorrow if am not rough!

Finished a session of 4 tabling 5nl zoom.

Start BR = $131.78
End BR = $122.61
Profit = $9.17
Total profit = $106.98

Well played fine just got coolered twice for nearly 200bb pots both times KK v AA other than that played fine, made some brave calls when board paired and 4 card straight etc, but trust my read and HUD stats

So just watching the tennis and played 1 table of 10nl omaha just to relax, would stop when I lose a buy in. But ended up +1.7 BI.

Start BR = $122.61
End BR = $139.19
Profit = $16.56
Total profit = $123.54

So pleased with that.

Going to grab some food and play while I watch the tennis again but probs wont be playing later as I'm going for a meal with my girlfriend, havnt seen her much been working and so has she.

Well been playing while watching the tennis, had an absolute blinder of a session at 5nl and dropped 6 BI in about 200 hands, outdrawn, coolers and sick 2 outers. Never mind, BR was down to like $109.

Well decided to take a break from it and play a few 180man SNGs and final tabling two and cashing for about $90 total which brought my BR up to $170. I feel i definitely have an edge at anything up to 25nl/50nl, I decided I'd take a 4 BI shot at 10nl and see how things go. Loaded up 2 tables of 10nl 6max zoom and begun playing.

My stats finished like this.

Start BR = $139.19
End BR = $201.54
Profit = $62.35
Total profit = $185.89


Going to push on this month and will hopefully make alot of my BR here at 10nl to set myself up for 25nl. I will be playing 2 tables of 10nl for the time being until I feel comfortable and my BR is at $250ish

Also will push for goldstar this month aswell. That means just over 100vpp per day for the rest of the month which I think is definitely achieveable, will put a few big days in at the weekend.




Going to hopefully set aside $50 for the micromillions and try and bink something, would be nice.

Well had a lovely time and meal with my girlfriend, see needs to be up early so am stopping at home tonight, played a session for an hour 4 tabling 10nl zoom and went really good, focus was great and felt it was one of the best sessions I've played for a very long time.

Start BR = $201.54
End BR = 249.69
Profit = $48.15
Total profit = $234.04

Staying 4 tabling 10nl 6max zoom til i've got well into $500 then I'll start shot taking then, my BR will start to get more and more nittish as we move up to 25nl and 50nl. If need be will move back down to 5nl at $100, but cant see that happening but you never know.

Getting on average a 1100 hands per hour per 4 tables, and about 90vpp/hour on average.

Thanks for reading any comments are appreciated

May put in a session later depends whats on TV.

Well finished a session last night but was too late to put an update on here as i had to be up early this morning, need to go to the doctors. Will be back at about 9am UTC to play for an hour then heading out for the majority of the day but will be playing a session later tonight.

Start BR = $249.69
End BR = $303.72
Profit = $54.03
Total profit = $284.07

Well I dropped 2.5BI at 10nl, to be honest was a bit spewy and just generally bad play on my part, picked the worse spots to double and triple barrel, so thats something I'll be going over later on this week.

Ended up finishing the night off with an hour of PLO, played a solid game and put my money in when I was favourite, either winning my flips or my hands holding. So ended the night like +7BI there.


Will be definitely making goldstar this month, also just coming up with a small schedule to play the micro millions including the main event. Wont be spending no more than $50 on it.

Starting to get alot more consistent in my sessions and focus is improving all the time, my reads I'd say are pretty sweet now. Pleased with how things are going.
