anyway, here is 2013 graph, mostly nl30 and nl50 around 50k hands nl20:

GG mate!!!

thanks everyone for the encouragements

Yesterday I reached the 10K mark
7bb/100 over 750k hands, most profit is from nl50. I started taking few shots at nl100, difference between nl100 and nl50 is considerable, still most regs are not that good but more aggro overall.

2 interesting hands
this one was a snap fold, I was getting sucked out every single time I hit a set in that session, if I took time to think about it, I would've went for a "fuckyoushove"
vilain is a passive 30/22 reg, sthing like 1.1 aggro factor over 800 hands.

vilain is an average reg playin 26/22, mostly tight passif postflop but I've seen him take some funky lines. too tired to comment on the hand atm but I think my call is +ev, only value hand I see in his range is KJ.

Hello! Really nice blog you have here! It was sick reading when you went on a sick downswing at nl30 and had to drop down few stakes below and now you are crushing nl50!! Really inspirational. Anyway, I am grinding myself nl20 and was hoping you could answer few questions.

What happened during those insanely long BE stretches? I see one 150k BE stretch and on latest graph you have even longer one and then out of nowhere it becomes supersolid. What did you change in you game at ~450k hand mark? Could you give your own analyze about what was happening during 100k-400k hand mark? What were you doing wrong? etc.

Thank you! Also favorited!

@divvie you don't have let everyone know that you are taking my money :f_cry:

@Phenomenomzor
thanks for the kind words mate :) well, one thing you should know is that I ran like incredibly bad @nl30, too lazy to check my hm now but it was sthing like 90 or 100BI under ev, but I still managed to win 5bb/100 (should be more like 10 or 11bb/100 ev adjusted) and yeah, I've had very long be stretches, not only I ran like shit on nl30 but I just played so bad, I've made so many adjustements and stopped playing on auto pilot like I used to do, the most important thing is that I started taking into consideration not only vilain's range, but my percieved range, and building/exploiting my table image, that was a huge step I think.
about the breakeven stretch, well as I said I had so many leaks, playing too many 3bet pots oop, getting in preflop wars with aggro regs wich makes variance more brutal, auto piloting mostly vs fish, missing lots of value/thin value spots because of bad betsizings etc ....
if you plan to move up from nl20, I advice you to adjust your game as you will get to play vs aggro players, not necessearly better, but mostly aggro, you have to adjust to that without (according to vilain ofc) without getting too passive or too tight, fight aggression with aggression.

gl mate :)

no man that's my lifetime graph, since I started the blog to be more accurate, 700k in 6 months would be too sick to be true
