Hey man! Nice results..

It seems like winning is too easy that you dont bother to do it anymore.. no challenge :P

Btw, how many years have you been playing poker?

I wonder if HU hypers are the quickest way to get to winning level... obviously with lots of work

haha, hypers are easiest game when you are winning, problems start when you run bad and longer you run bad harder it is.

Its now ~1.5 years I play full time, and spent around 6 months before that learning/playing.

Im not sure if hypers are quickest way because I havent played other formats, but I plan to learn and mix in mtts at some point.

Offering this freeroll was good idea otherwise would take day off today but now already played 1 session.
Im playing again on ftp for bigger volume, 2nd shot at ftp, last time it didint go well:

now so far all good, Im up ~1.4k.
Traffic I guess is ok for ftp, its bit slow for 115s. Last week one day I spent opensitting for 2 hours and didnt get a game, today I even had to pause sharky because had 3 tables running allmost all the time.

Action today was insane good at one point even had 6 tables running 3 on ftp and 3 on stars, I have never played more than 4 tables
And 6 is def too many for me, could do max 4 vs fish.

Anyway good start for the week:

Took a shot at 200s today on ftp, run very bad

100 games left to play, running good despite downswing I had at 200s.
Today first time in a long time when i had to fight for lobby with someone decent, on ftp, most likely its not over yet.
Realized I have to improve a ton my postflop game.

finished my games:

Most likely tomorrow also will play couple, but posting graph now.

Just now played allmost 5 hours straight, my std 1h ses, than 2 tabled 2 rematching fishes at 100 - 115 for 2.5 hours, ftp fish left and keep playing stars fish and even than I was the one who declined in the end

actually was pretty easy to grind, even didnt need force my self to play, was hard to start only on monday.

Tomorrow 50 games, gym and party in the evening :f_p:

Finished playing for this week, updated graph above.
About goals

[x] - 500 games at 60s+
[x] - go to gym at lest 3 times + 1 cardio
[x] - eat healthy
[?] - no more than 1 party

about last one not sure today is party, and will see what's happening tomorrow.

Today played that guy on ftp who is sitting me, turns out actually he is not so good as i thought, I just was card dead, today we played, I was hitting flops and he was just stationing/spewing money, his fold to flop check raise - 11% and flop 3bet 88% so far, so he shouldn't be a problem.
