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

Update!

Today's graph:

Just don't know what to say, played almost 11 hours, didn't get milestone hand, another day i can't win anything and starting to think that maybe i just should withdraw all the money and forget about poker. Ok i didn't played last 6 days and i should be proud to be able to play more than 10 hours a day but when you play that much and don't win anything you start to think that this day was absolute useless, instead of grinding i could watch discovery channel for 11 hours and i think it would be much useful than grinding for nothing, ehh... Hoping for better days

Update!

wow, this is the worst week i ever had, i'm down more than 40$ in both NL2 and NL5 and whenever i try to play my best game i'm losing.i really start to have depresion and dunno when this will end.

Today so far:

You can't give up on the game because of a downswing jurish! You're either in this with everything you have or you will get crushed every time something like this happens.

Maybe take a couple of days for study your previous days and see what you can find, also try to do something fun and positive which will turn your mindset around.

negative will only magnet negative

Yeah you're right but i'll try not to take any days off. Better to just relax and meditate for 20+ minutes than taking a day off. But i have another problem my BR is 450+ but i'm afraid to move completely to NL5 or NL10. Right know i have 90BI for NL5 BSS and i could easly play MSS in NL10 but i don't, i'm staying at NL2 and taking shots NL5 haha, i know it's funny but maybe you or someone else can give some advice ? thanks.

Update!!

Today's graph:

Ok what is enough is enough. If i want to move forward i need to stop playing NL2 and even if i'm a little afraid of next limits because of bigger money, i just need to suck it up. That's why in the next 6 days i'm gonna play 100000 hands in NL5 and NO NL2. But i will not look at the winnings until i finish my challenge, because everytime i open hem and look at graph i start to tilt, it doesn't matter if i'm up or down i just start to lose my A+ game and it's -EV. So in next 6 days i will only write how many hands i play and when i'll have 100k hands i will put whole graph and hope for the best.
And also i wanted to ask how does prop bets or side bets work ? I heard that people make a challenge and allows other people to bet if he'll be able to accomplish or not, so how does it work? I just want to know so that maybe in future i could make some interesting challenge and make it more interesting.:)

i said that i will not post graph but i'll be honest and say **** it. I'm gonna post it anyway's so that people can see how much i suck at poker. To get 100k hands in 6 days i need to play 16667 hands/day, i'm 25 tabling so i need to play 10 hours and xx minutes all these six days, so i really hope not to go insane and finish my challenge.

Update!!

Man go watch some mindset videos, DC has a good series on understanding variance, maybe you'll want to start with that :).

Im playing like 12k to 15k hands a day at ZOOM tables with a similar challenge so its possible

DeMarcohsp: Yeah thanks, already did it, also watched some psyhology videos in PS. And after watching those videos i started to feel like ass ♦ cause i'm just embarrassing myself by my childish behavior, of course shit happens and you can't always win so if you want to grow up and be a winner in long run i just need to suck it up and move forward,hehe

Update!

Yesterday Had pretty interesting day, first lost 6Bi in one session and it was first time losing so much only in two hours, so i was a shocked. After that i didn't want to play anymore but than i watched some videos about variance and psyhology and it helped a lot. So i opened tables and started to grind and hell i played so much that i fell asleep,haha, it was the best day in my whole poker carrier :). I really felt that yesterday i gave everything to poker and i feel very satisfied.

100k challenge so far:

nice progress ♦ it's good to get out of your comfort zone sometimes. with most things if you are comfortable then you are probably not improving. good luck with the rest of nl5 and im sure with your volume you will reach nl10 very soon.

Update!!!

Ok i have good news, today i finally hit milesstone hand and won 132$ so it was a nice boost for my roll and now i have close to 70BI for NL10, so tomorrow gonna start playing in NL10. But right now Stars is going crazy, wanted to play NL2 for the rest of the day but on every NL2 tables there are 30+ people in waiting list, it's fucking insane, if someone can explaine why's that i would appreciate it. There's another thing, i really suck in NL5 and my bb/100 is very low and i really don't uderstand why. My bb/100 winrate in NL5 is much lower than NL10 and it's one of the thing i'm trying to figure out... Also i'm gonna be back in zoom for NL5 cause the winrate is two times bigger and there at least nits/regulars are willing to go allin with bottom sets and fishes are willing to pay me with TPTK. It's just insane how the NL5 on regular tables have changed in only one year.
But oh well, even if it tilts me i'm happy that things are moving the way i hoped and to be honest i would never imagined that i could have healty roll for NL10 and also never thought that hard work will pay off so fast ♦ So i'm really hoping to get 2500$ until October so that i can switch to CAP tables but poker is poker the only thing i can do right now is to play and hope for the best.

exactly, finally it's -EV to play NL2 ♦ so yeah, already moved completely to NL5 and NL10.

Niiice!

Man you put in such sick volume. You should really start playing some hardcore NL10: it doesn't get much more difficult and only takes a few days to get over the idea that more money is being played for -- you'll feel at home in no time! Good luck with your challenge mate.

Thanks nah the volume reduced a lot in the last 3 days because of zoom and trying to get use to it and it will take some time when i fully understand how people are playing there but yeah my BR allows me to play in NL10 but like you said it will take few days to get use to losing 10$ in one AI

Update!

That's it, now i'm gonna grind a lot in zoom cause the games are softer than regular tables and right now i'm thinking to play on 8 tables so it will give 2000 hands per hour(thank god, no more 26 tabling). Also had problems with PT3 and couldn't fix it, so i downloaded PT4 and will be able to post graphs for the next 30 days. Big update coming soon.
