Yeah. You thought you were only calling 3bs when you open 25% of the time?

I mean like you don't need to just learn through a solver. There are many courses that people can study. Also, in good discords you get help/sweats/feedback from higher stakes players, but I'm sure you know this.

Though I do agree that coaching can help save people time. I just think CFP is predatory as you've noted because it makes it incredibly hard to get out of the micros. I have a friend in BTS CFP and I haven't heard positive things from them.

You definitely don't need coaching or a solver to get out of the micros, but I can see how it can help as long as you have a good coach.

Sick results. Definitely not mad that you havent made the jump to 50 yet, especially since I'm guessing I won't be able to induce you to spazz otr against me like I did before lol.

I know zilch about CFP but wouldn't a more standard contract be to grind hardcore ~100k hands/month? Also, IIRC DooDoo's making a double jump from 10->50 with a medium/large bankroll strategy, i.e. already a ridiculous grind.

In theory a 5bb/100 10nl grinder, on a 20BI aggressive bankroll, playing 1.2 million hands a year would jump from 10nl to 25nl in about a month (40BI). In fact, DooDoo would/has.

I'm not pro or anti CFP btw. Just tryin to understand

Very nice.

I admire the discipline. Average of ~1 hour a day every day for 14 months is nothing to scoff at, especially when you’re not really making meaningful money. How do you find the time?

Haven't read any of the thread so my only thoughts:
What a waste of time.
CFP's a scam.
Given you've mentioned your displeasure and regret of such a long CFP, I'm surprised you don't just blow through the hands.
Good luck on the next 200k.

Good job man.

1 million hands? So you're going to grind for them for five more years? 500k hands at 10nl is a massive waste of your time.

Honestly, I think it’s players who love the game enough to do this for the challenge are the ones who will get to reasonable stakes online. Personally anyway. Loving the game counts for something for sure.

Hey man, good job.

I disagree with what some players say about CFP, I think if getting into the program myself after I get a good sample of beating 50nl reg on ignition. CFP seems like the way to go if you want to get to the top a soon as possible. I suspect a lot of people's issue with the CFP is their own ego, in that they are inadvertently admitting they can't make it on their own, even if that's not the case. Either that, or being content with the progress they are making on their own.

I like that you are pushing yourself to do better and to do more. Keep it up!

How do you get rakeback on ACR?

+1

good **** man, see you at 50zone soon

Message support and ask them to swap you to flat rakeback%.

Nice results DDP

My goal is 40k hands a month so hoping to finish in 2 years or so.

Someone expand pls.

I think people think that CFP is a scam because you pretty much half your winnings for 3-4 years. But I plan on playing poker for the rest of my life so I don't think of investing 4 years as a waste of time.

Especially if you can get to play much higher limits later on in your career. I mean I could walk into a casino right now and sit at a 2/5 6max game and be 99% sure I am the best player the table. And I'm not even good yet.

What's going on here?

Having to grind a further 300k hands of 10NL after you already beat it for 7bb/100 over the previous 200k is an absolutely ludicrous state of affairs & would tilt the crap outta me.

What has to happen for you to be able to move up/move site to play 25NL/get out of this?

I've no idea what your deal is but you dont need "coaching" to get beat the micros, & you definitely don't need coaching when you're already beating them. Just spend $20 a month on a Duecescracked membership or whatever the equivalent is these days

Good luck, DooDoo. Pretty good results so far!

Though, I really think that you should start increasing your volume a bit. Win rate isn't everything. Playing 1000 hands/hr at 4bb/100 is better than playing 500 hands/hr at 7bb/100 imo. Especially with RB and the 1mil hand deal.

Btw, how come you can't just "cancel" the deal with CFP? Can't you just open a new account on a new site and play for your own profit? I'm a bit confused...

Doodoo, FYI you should be easily getting on the Beast board if playing 50Nl and that's actually at least an extra $200/month

wtf is this CFP thing? coach for profit or something? I'm unfamiliar with how it works

Coaching for profit, yeah. You get coaching in exchange for x % of your profit for a set amount of time/hands.

CFP could be a (very)good decision, but personally I would never sign up for more than a year.

Not playing 15k/month you won't. Congrats on results DooDoo. My results are completely opposite from yours I ran 60 buy ins below aiev. I've also played close to 200k since 9/19 (when blitz premiered and stayed for good). I put a small roll on BCP and crushed 5nl and 10nl reg and was mixing in 25nl when blitz came out. Haven't played ff since pre BF. Can't be that much different than reg tables right?

I played 80k hands that first month and essentially BE, down 6bi. Lost 7 in Oct very quickly and gave up altogether until March. Very small loser for a couple weeks until I lost 20 buy ins over a couple days losing 14 in one session and again i said FVCK this. Started playing StarsPA and destroyed 30nl for 50 buy ins 4tabling on my phone. Moved out of PA end of August.

Back to blitz for September of this year. Play about 60k in 2 weeks and down about 20 stacks. FVCK. With RB Im BE so I give up and cash out and go to Bros. Win pretty easily but there software is horrible and 1 tabling on mobile can suck a deek. Back to BCP with bigger roll but this time I'm actually going to work on my game. During this whole process I never once studied or nothing. I did nothing but play. So I hit the lab hard this month, fixed some preflop leaks, I had turned into a 18/16 nit that overfolds a lot because I was seeing ghosts like Sam Darnold from losing all the time. And I dropped down to 2 tabling.

October was swingy and I took a whole week off because I went through a very dark depressive hole due to a relationship issue and the thought of playing was unbearable. I wasn't sure if I'd ever play again. Slowly but surely snapped out of it got back to the grind and the love for the game is always there like the Sun behind the clouds. Played 50k and finally have results I can be proud of and I'm hopeful with a few more tweaks, I Berkey ppl wayyyy too much lol, that November will be my best month. Should get at least 60k as long as I don't go bipolar again.

This is the opposite of a CFP. I think if you are at micros and you can grind 100k in a month or two it would help a lot and you wont go through the nightmare I went through. But DooDoo your biggest leak is volume. Its ridiculous as a serious poker player to avg only one hour a day for a year plus. Is there something stopping you from grinding frfr like a GF or you work 12hr shifts every day or something? Anyways I wish you best of luck I'm sure we'll be battling at 50 blitz soon.

So you made 900 Dollar in one year or 75 Dollar per month?
Move up stakes and play much more hands - its so easy to make 10 times the money. You are wasting your talent and your time...
