Unreal [marathon] challenge. 500k hands in 1 month

Once in a while im getting tired eyes. However not since i have been playing session of 1 hour and such. But need theese glasses:

But the gunnars.no site is broken/expired. They wont answer emails. Never online on the live support. Their order sites freezes when u order the glasses. All the retailers dont have theese. A lot of grandpa looking glasses, but i want theese.

Any other grinders that know a site where they sell theese: Joule | Amethyst | glasses from gunnars.no?

Have you checked ebay? They have many gunnars glasses in good prices.

Maybe it sounded a bit like i had given up yesterday. And then i figured since i couldnt reach 500k i would stop grinding long hours. But i wont give up ♦

Once again i had a piffany today. A reg i had 8k hands on showed me his folded KK on the T5xx board on the turn. I had A high and shoved his donk ♦

Hi martinemen,
What you have already achieved this month is damn impressive, and, as with many goals and targets in life, it is not so much the achieving of these goals that is the primary reward but the journey to them. Regardless of the outcome, in striving for such a high goal you will already be reaping all the benefits.

Congratulations and keep it up.
Personally still a believer. ♠_biggrin:

Thanks a lot. I also knew when i was setting this goal last month, that i probably wouldnt get all the way.

And i also wrote that my xp tells me if u aim high, maybe even too high, u can get more done than original expected.

I never thought ex. that i could do a ~10k+ session and play to my own expectations throughout the most of it. And i think i've done that more than twice now.

1st SESSION
4532 hands
1. quarter 6/10
2. quarter 7/10
3. quarter 13.37/10
4. quarter 9/10

Played really bad in the start. But i gues 7 betting postflop with overpair to a 60/2 fish is just benieth okay. And doing the exact same again with same kind of hand couple of orbits later. Because then later i am warmed up for making this call:

Hey man,

Tested out the waters on 3 limits. And the first couple of hours i was just getting suckout after suckout. So i guess i could have played worse than i did. Still not good enough though.

9323 hands

29th and LAST DAY

1st SESSION
2489 hands
1. half 8/10
2. half 9/10

Realised when i took a shit this morning, that the fact that i might lost a bit yesterday it didnt matter because i could just when i grind today only play 2 limits instead of 3 ♦ And it went good after re reading notes, + saw a couple of videos last night.

After 193k i changed my game as it shows aswell. I am a lot dissapointed about my winrate. But since the -23 bi day, it got a lot more worse than it should be. And the ev is bugged. Because it doesnt show everything. Like when u get suckout on river with a fish with 1 bb left. Stuffs like that.

I honestly thought i was capable of maintaining a 3bb/100. So in that case, im very dissapointed. Volume wise i couldnt count for my eyes bail on me 1 day. But i guess there is a lot to analyse now ♦

how much rake did u pay? That's sick volume

This is just playing bad , it doesn't make sense to play almost 400K hands and win that low , honestly you have to work more on your game
