Kruppe and Daphunk. Grinding NLHE many steaks! Pursuade Kruppe to post NL400+ HHs!

I keep changing my mind about whether to keep this blog updated and about what i should write about. I'll just post some random graphs for now.

nl400:

pretty:

havne't been playing any HU tables in the last few months, so here's a longterm HU graph:

and apparently i suck at zoom:

Not sure why these quads in particular where special but I think it might be something to do with villain shoving river.

[x] got paid

yay!

challenge:
I'm going start at NL2 and use aggressive bankroll-management to get to NL500 as fast as possible.

plan:
-cashout all but $40
-play as many tables as possible of the next limit when I have 11 buy-ins for the next limit
-move down when I only have 9 buy-ins for the currect limit
-cash out any bonuses/rewards I get, so that my progress depends entirely on winnings
-First phase ends when I reach $5 500.
-Second phase ends when I reach $10 000, don't know what I'll do after that.

here are my zoom results to date:

If people want to bet enough against me doing it in a certain time, e.g. 8 weeks, I'd probably be willing to show account history, details, etc, although I guess that won't happen, as I'm starting imediately.

I'll update regularly.

Started zoom (playing poker again) myself on September with aggressive BM (10buy-ins = move up). Managed to move to NL10 by the end of the month and up about 5 buy-ins on that limit also as for now (4k hands 12bb/100). Tho I'm playing small under hour sessions a day (approx 500 hands per day, 15k a month).

I think you will beat the limit with ease. Try not to over think at first and go with the winning flow. Glgl and see you at the tables!

oh shit, you're still playing poker? I remember you from 2008 ♦

you have to be careful with super-aggro BRM imo, it can get very sick after a while. after you've moved up and down between two limits three or four times and constantly have your whole roll on the tables it can really get stressful. imo it's a big test of mental strength. but if you only play 15k hands/month it shouldn't be so stressful. gl to you too.

Haven't played much yet. Nl2 zoom requires massive adjustments, still haven't got
used to it. first three sessions:

Was on hiatus for 3 years ♦

I've reached the required bankroll for NL5 after 12k hands of NL2 or something. Damned HEM2 is bugging out though
going to try to get someone to fix it for me, tilts me too much to try it myself.

That Eiger ascent is the bee's knees. Can watch it over and over. Good luck with your own ascent. I'm not betting against you, but let's just say it will be an extraordinary achievement if you make it ♠_thumbsup:

Good luck dude. Will follow.

i struggled to adjust to nl2 zoom as well... Nl5/10 are much easier to pwn!

You will never make it.

aaaand back to nl2

aaaaaand back to nl5.

this is how i play my AA when i'm spazzing in nl2

i feel like i'm called by less than good holdings pretty often

HEM randomly started working again, as usual. updated graph for the challenge:

Seems like it's missing some hands, as my cashier has me at +$15,46:

Been playing NL5, account at $89.50.

graph so far:

Nice run; out of the doldrums.

Up to $118.22 playing nl5 after being at a party over the weekend, so first NL10 attempt coming up. HEM2 isn't working though, won't accept my serial key
