Sunday session, played 50nl, had plenty of coolers but I ended up for the day. The main difference im noticing between 100nl and 50nl is the competence of regulars at hand reading; games play very similar but it seems to me that 100nl regs are fairly better at picking off bluffs/bluffing successfuly/value betting light. Anyway here's the graph:

Short-ish Monday session. Mostly played 50nl and I ran well and played solid. Played a bit of 100nl without success(there were a few great tables but no luck

) :

Played a short session, again. This time though, I played mostly 100nl and it was going pretty well but then the 100nl bad run came back and I stopped playing when I lost ~5bi (from the top) because I went bellow 3.5k. Probably will play some 50nl later.

100nl(mostly)

Super short session, only 50nl played. Ran great, 1bi above ev and overall no setups/coolers.

Ok, someone pmed me and asked if I'm even beating 50nl and that I shouldn't be shotting 100nl, and I decided I will just post my 50nl graph just so it's itt in case someone else asks the same thing.

Hello ladies, I'm back! Took a week off to regenerate my mushy brain from grinding 8 months without a proper break. I may change my posting schedule from every day to either every few days or once a week, depending on how I feel. Here's to hoping 7 days break is enough for me to finish the challenge without taking anymore breaks!

Gl with the challenge. I agree with the other guy, focus on 50nl and keep improving your game.

Btw how did you improve so quick?

Well the only thing I would say I'm a natural at is learning quickly. Other than that I played a lot and studied as much as I could. But overall I began struggling with volume since the downswing hit me. Never had such big downswings in live games(in terms of buy ins). I hope I manage to learn putting in A or B game volume while in a bad period. Someone once told me the biggest difference differentiating a crusher from an average reg is how they play during long downswings.

Hello to everyone that's still reading. Sorry for keeping you guys in the dark for 2-3 weeks. Had some personal stuff going on+holidays... Anyway I decided that the best way to learn and improve is switching over to zoom for a while.. I'm starting @25nlz with a plan to get to 100nlz, maybe 200nlz, although I heard that hourlies get lower once you get too 200nl range so its better to play reg tables at 200nl+. Probably wont be playing reg tables for a longer period of time. Also, I will update this thread much less often in the future because I want to focus all my time on studying and playing as much as I can.

I decided to post an update on my other thread in case someone is interested.
Long story short we got to midstakes but It took us 2 years instead of 4 months

Im considering posting monthly updates on either thread if anyone is interested to read?
