@Mimicry that's very interesting, let's hope I'll do better xD but yeah that's exactly what I want to find out. It's pretty tough to base a decision on other players that you dont really know. You don't know how much effort they put in the game. Especially players that are just following lines that they get in their coaching program.
But yeah you are also right with the rake on stars, that's why I normally play on party where it is pretty ok with rake & rakeback.
Like i said I will only play the special 5€ games on stars and switch back afterwards on party. The cool thing on Stars is the huge timebank it makes it way more realxed to play.

Review:

I was able to end the Mission on Stars today, I am no registered in the SaG Grand Final 50k€. It will be a 3-handed MTT and only the winner of the table gets to the next. It will be on 11.02.19, I am looking forward to it.

I played also very decent today, I were very calm and focused and I run also very good.

Yes the contract with BTS is finished and I was only capable to reach NL25 ZOOM, I may should not have been that sticky with ZOOM, because rake is pretty high on lowstakes and you really wanna play normal tables where you can look for recreational players which increases the winrates.

Review:

Today I catched up the missing stream from wednesday, I am very happy with my game and I also were able to increase my chip/EV. I also be able to play faster already and I think I definitely can add one more table until end of the month.

The most profitable game to play of all the games is cash games. But all the games are beatable so whatever you enjoy playing the most is what you should stick with. GL on your journey.

Hello everybody,

We had 10-12 viewers today which was a lot of fun and we had a very nice conversation. We also figured out how to improve the stream, so it was definitely a nice grind today. It's also helpful to stay focused when people watching the stream. But like always my focus and concentration dropped a lot on the last hour, need to think about it, but for now, I'll see if I can get used to it or if I need a 5 min break before the last hour or sth.

Hello everybody,

This was a really tough day, I am grinding now 7 days in a row which is already exhausting and then also everything went very bad ingame. I lost a lot of chips today which I really really don't like, especially because I think I played it fine.
But I definitely going to review my game tomorrow and check if it was a bad run or bad play.
The good thing today were that we had 10 viewers again and what I liked even more that I met the same guys from yesterday and we had again a nice conversation.

Hello everybody,

I lost 12 BI today and it really felt like I cant win a hand and the week was also very long, therefore I decided to stop earlier today. Take my day off tomorrow and come back on saturday full of energy.

I also will analyse the last two days in detail on saturday too and I'll let you know if I run bad or if I played bad.

Hello everybody,

I signed a stable today, therefore I will need a few days to get familiar with it, I will let you know as soon as I am back

Hello everybody,

Here is my decision after joining the stable:

I will continue my Bankroll-Challenge but I will not stream anymore.

Review:

Need to get used to all the new stuff, so my game was rather average and I can definitely do way better.

Hello everybody,

Yesterday I worked on my SB preflop game and I tried to put it into the game today, but unfortunately it wasn't working out.
I do believe the Strategy is fine but its just confusing changing a lot of things that I was used too and because of that I am making mistakes.
But I think it will be fine after a while, I just continue learning and grinding.

Hello everyody,

Therefore I will just go for theory work the next days.

Hello everybody,

it already did went better today, but there is still room for improvements, that's why I came up with this plan:

Volume/Study:

- February:

I will play at least 500 games, while 1-tabling (roughly 3hours) and focus on study: I also will prepare myself for playing 2 tables. Of course if my progress is faster as aspected, I will play already this month more tables.

- March:

I will play more than 1500 games, while 2-tabling and go for 1:1 ratio grind/study.

- April to September:

I will play more than 2500 games, playing at least 2 tables, grind/study ratio will go down to 4:1.

Chip Expactation:

- My goal is to gain more than 70 chips per game during the challenge.

Why and How:

1. I decided to go for a strong theory period add the beginning just to really get the important things down and therfore to be able to act way faster on the tables and be able to play 2 or more tables.
2. I rather prepare myself doing that on lower limits to be able to mainly focus on grinding when I play higher limits.

I am definitely taking it especially during the winter

Today I wasn't able to grind, because of a Pokerstars bug, so I went for theory work today, which was also very nice and I'll be back tomorrow with the grind.
