Grinding my way to Japan!!! FR,SNG,CAP

jmackenzie: Yeah i'm pretty crazy about volume, cause even if i'm running bad by playing those 12k-15k hands a day it's very rare to finish day in minus, also i'm grinding this much because when i'll have enough BR to move to CAP tables i'll grind 14-16 hours everyday until i'll have SNE in stars. The same goes for Tables, i'm playing 24 tables because i'll need to play 24 tables in 6 max and it will be much toughter than playing FR so that's why i want to get use to it

FlashDavin: haha, thanks, yeah i grind a lot and next month i'll try to play 500k hands in NL5,NL10 and maybe NL25 so "bye bye social life" until september ♦

IngridN: thanks for checking and yeah, like i said ofcourse i'll whine sometimes but i will never,never,never give up before i'll complete my goal

Also yesterday because of the internet i only played 5h but today i got my mobile internet(usb) and it works ok, at least i can easly open stars and play with no dissconnections but i had other problem, on my laptop only one usb port works so when i'm using internet i can't use mouse so i'll try to play without mouse for next 2 days until i'll get my usb port with 2 outers so that i could easly plug in both. So i'm gonna continue to play and hope to put an update later.

Update!

It's too damn hot, the temperature outside is +35C and the whole house is like sauna impossible to play more than 10 minutes when you're already sweating like pig ♦ dunno i think in the past 4 days i played less than 10 hours. Damn i'm so angry that i'll not be able to finish my short term goals and i only need 650 vpp to get gold, NEED RAIN!!!

NL2 120.90$/160$
5049/25000 Zoom NL5 - Profit: 21.64$
1619/25000 NL10 Regular - Profit: 10.26$

Update!

Sorry for not updating yesterday, i just wanted to relax and do non-poker things, like meditation and other things that i wanted to try but couldn't get myself to do it and so i didn't played yesterday but i finished July pretty positive. Finished my 160$ grind and so i don't own anything to my friends but also in August i need to buy few things and need to pay for school loans and other smaller things.

Right now i will start August with BR 400$ and will only play NL5+, so i'm finished with NL2 and i'm happy the way it is:

overall NL2 graph( but HEM is missing at least 40 or 50 dollars, cause in the last days i played in NL2 and won more than 80 dollars but he only shows that i won 30-40 dollars..)

July was pretty intensed, cause in the first two weeks i had problems with psyhology and whenever i lost 1-2BI i could just explode and couldn't keep my A+ game but than i bought Tendler's book and it helped me to get over my ego and fear, so my game started to look better. Even if i explode now i just take a book and re-read whatever i need and i'm back to normal
Also had very bad month in NL5, in 80k hands my bb/100 was below 2bb

Profit this month: 300$+50$(stellar)+25$(vpp)+20$(sattelites)+few $ from small freerolls and vpp tourneys= 400$-410$:

graph July:

And ofcourse overall graph(missing 40$+ in graph, dunno why):

Also in July i played 178 hours - 1.68$/h

Goals for August:

200000 hands in NL5
100000 hands in NL10
100000+ hands in NL25

Need to buy monitor for laptop

UPDATE!

NL5 so far in August:

GL&HF with u challange jurish123.

U can play a little less hands and to do some study to improve u game. For me there is no reason to play cash games under 25$ coz if u play SNG 1$-15$ for the time u played cash u will have high rb and nice roi so sng is beter choice for u if u can play and beat it.

Are you kidding me? WOOOOOT SICKKKKK VOLUME , unreal ♦

Keep it up man, amazing!

Of course i could play on less tables but like i said when i'll have enough BR for CAP tables i will move to 6max and there i will play on 28 tables but if i will not grind on 24+ tables in FR it will be hard to even consider playing that many tables in 6max . That's why i need experience or skill or whatever does it call to be able make right decisions as fast as i can.

Yeah i tried to play sng and i played 9k+ tourneys, i tried everything 6max,9max,180man etc. even got couched by good players but even than i felt that something isn't right. From the beggining of my poker carrier i knew that i don't have this "card luck" and that's why sng is a little like -EV than it should, especially mtt. If you're interested you take a look at my this year's graph in SNG

I just feel safe playing cash and i know the more i grind there the more i'll win and i'll not have 100 hour Breakeven like i had in 180man, but thanks anyway

Thanks, i'll try

Update!!

Yesterday's graph:

At the beggining was up 3bi and everything went well and than suddenly BOOM! lost 3bi fullhouse vs fullhouse ops catched there 2 outs, just pure unluckiness and ofcourse it hit hard to my nerves so after tilting another bi i just closed poker client, couldn't take it Later i decided to play NL2 and it went well and won 2bi so i'm only down few $ but yeah NL5 is pretty nitty and the more i play the more i hate it but i decided that gonna move to NL10 when my BR will be 550$ or 600$ and gonna play NL2 only when i'll run bad in NL5.

GL

i'm just fucking tired of this... Again started ok and BOOOOOMMM! lost 4 buyins in few minutes. Here's a nice exsample how swingy or unlucky you can be in only 2k hands:

dude your pumping out some insane volume there, how do you play, 2 monitors, tiled, or stacked?

very impressive!

Just wait for that day when you hit that 25 buyins in 4k hand upswing ♦

and August so far:

Update!!!

sorry for not updating for the last 6 days, just couldn't get myself to play poker. Dunno but after drinking, it was pretty hard to get back in the rhythm, i just couldn't find that "feeling" in poker and was also pretty nervous after every session i started or finished, hate this. But this week will start Billion hand promotion and i will try to get back in the game, but like i said, after one drinking day i lost all my willpower and boom! laziness is back much stronger than it was before,haha...

But it doesnt matter, i already decided that i will not have a big drinking parties until i will accomplish my goal and i know it may sound stupid to many people that i'm sitting front of computer everyday for 8-10h and even than you don't know how the day will end, hell, you don't know even how your week will end ♦ And i know people are saying that i should enjoy the youth and to not worry about money or long term goals etc. etc. but i dissagree and i know that after 6-8 month grinding i will be able to enjoy life much more(even if i will play only at NL100) easly than most of people who're working standart(8-17) jobs. hehe dunno i wrote right what was on my mind but i hope you understud what i wanted to say

Yesterday's graph

August so far:

So starting from today i will get back in my everyday's 8-10 hour grinding and will finish when i'll have 20k$ in my account ♦ and also NO HEAVY DRINKING UNTIL NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER:)
