Hello all!

Thought awhile of making a thread. But never had any goals in poker really.
I just use it as en extra way of some income. With the money I win I buy things. That way poker gets fun for me. So with this challenge will be to win 1500$ and for that I will buy a new bed that I want/need. Goal is do before end of september. Biggest problem is to get hands in.

I play 50nl-ish. 100nl sometimes depending of games and my BR. Except for stars I play on a swedish sites some of the time(soft). But will play 50NL for now. Almost only 6max.

Bought a new computer in june which leads to me not having so many hands on my current database which I don't really mind.

So small sample grapfh:

Little downer right now so hoping it turns around...

Also I don't fold so much. Sometimes correctly and sometimes wrongly.

Some hands form last days:

Been awhile since my last update. I have played some everyday, although very little cashgame. Only when I had few mtts left. Manage to luckbox a mttscore for litte over 2,5k. So challenge is kinda over. But I have decided that the challenge is to get 1500 in only 50nl cash game. Then it is over.

So graph since challenge:

Most volume is from last 3 days (although not a lot of hands):
Graph last 3 days, because it is pretty:

Played some other stakes there too which I wont include in the challenge:

Obv I have been running really good.

Forgot about this thread. I didn't finish the challenge. But I did ship two mtts so I did finished the goal in the summer.

I haven't really played much poker at all since the summer but have started to play some again now in november.

Online championship in Sweden is coming up the 22 November this month. The main event cost appr. 230 dollars. My goal for this month is to play that tourney only if I manage to win 650dollars in cash games until that date.

So that will be the challenge right now. Also this thread will motivate me.

So far it is going ok but swingy. We will see.

Month this far:

And one bonus hand where I perhaps speewed. Dunno what was going on in my head really. Was thinking I could get him of ALL Ax hands. Well maybe not all Ax Probably had some plan for betting turn and xb river. But think I should check turn. Perhaps wanted to build pot if a third club would come.
