Yo, I used to grind PLOz, stakes 10c-25c to 50c-$1. But after brutal run of almost 70BI under ev at one point for the past couple months, i was life tilted, took a short break and messed around with spins and found them to be super chill and fun, and quite beatable, so this month I transitioned to spins pretty much.
PLO downswing graph at zoom50 mostly
Haven't really played many spins, but here's the graph so far this month. Stakes have been anywhere from 1's-100's.... Uhm, but I'd say 90% of volume has been between 7's-15's so yeah.
Gonna keep grinding 15's for a bit and see how I fare in those, and if things keep doing well take shots at 30's.
So far have been putting a lot more time into studying the format rather than actually playing. But starting from august I really want to start the serious grind.
I intend to only 2 table until I feel like most of my decisions are automatic, which prolly won't be for a while if ever so yeah... Just focusing on having the most EV and ROI basically.
I'm starting this pgc because recently my life schedule and volume goals have been really bad. I participated in a couple MTTs in the micromillions series and made a few deep runs and that ended up in me staying up til like 8AM and having ******ed sleep schedule. In fact I woke up around midnight for the past couple days. So I really want to fix that. Also recently as I said for the past couple weeks, volume has really been lacking, so I want to use this thread to get back to regular sleeping habits and get back to grinding decent volume.
Hope to keep this pgc going for at least a couple months unlike my last couple ones
. K so let's start with some goals.
August poker goals:
- 2000 games minimum
- 2 table max
- finish watching the husng beating spins video pack
- finish watching all Kevin Rambichow's hu vids on RIO
August life goals:
- get back to regular sleep schedule and maintain it
- keep on dieting, I want to have abs whilst flexing them
currently stomach is too flat, not cool. Gotta hit up dat gym.
It's really important to me to reach my volume goals. So to the first 3 posters ITT, I will transfer $50 to each of you if I DO NOT reach my volume goals this month. I'll only transfer on pokerstars, so if you don't have a stars account then too bad.
It really shouldn't be too hard to reach my volume goals so don't expect it
I just need some motivation. And basically I'll just have to grind like around 6hrs/day 5 days/week to reach 2k games I think, which is more than doable.
Ideally my daily schedule would look something a bit like this:
Typical daily plan plan:
- wake up at 9
- gym+food
- grind 2 hours
- break for a bit
- grind 2 hours
- break for a bit
- grind 2 hours
- study/grind more/chill out/do whatever until sleep.
- sleep before 4
I think 5+ hours of sleep a night is good enough. And during my breaks I can do whatever I want, maybe go for a walk/run, maybe stretch, maybe meditate, maybe watch tv. Whatever, just having breaks between grinding really helps me focus.
