@Kris6
TX mate! Currently I won't because I wanna work on my game but there will come a time when I want and so I will publicly announce it. Just continue on reading you might sooner or later see such an announcement :). GL!
So guys,
Quick update. Played again mixed(NL100 & NL200) on Thursday and finished another positive day. Today/Friday was a short because I finished the session pretty quick reaching my first stop loss on NL200. Not much to say besides that I missplayed 1 hand(too big of a hero C/reads over used) and took some suboptimal decision in some spots. But yeah I played OKish overall but you can't win every day ♦.
But looking from the positive side I can add something instead of deducting from the challenge balance 
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 25 840.96$(LAST UPDATE) + 818.96$(WINNINGS 2 DAYS) = 26 659.92$/ 100 000$
Cya guys on Monday when I will publish my last update before going on vacation. GL for the Sunday lotteries. ♦
So much volume in this topic everytime i click it. 
your profitsgoal is now without RB, or am i missing something?
Hans - i have tried to message you but it keeps bouncing back!
Could you let me know who i need to message from the video.

@acetbfish
Yeah I'm using currently NoteCaddy tools which is again part of HM2.
@Varune
Well not entirely true. My goal is to make 100k no matter with RB or without. But I stated since I play on multiple sites and most of them have normal VIP system I will only be able to add RB at the and of the year/when I reach the biggest achievable status. So for a longer while I will only count winnings.

Ola fellow poker players,
Now to bring this last update before I hit my road for my Easter vacation. This time there is more to say/update so let's get right into it day by day since each of this days was pretty interesting.
Saturday
Biggest winning day in my life. I mean a +5K$ day on the NL200 tables can't be that bad. NL200 regs spewing/playing fancy all over the place, never having their top of their range, fishes doing one stupid things after the other and so it led all together combined with a an extremely solid performance of mine resulted in my best day ever.
Sunday
Hit the NL400 tables. PM Gordon as soon as I saw monster fishes hitting the NL400 tables in the lobby and we set down and played for a while. We were close to get a full stack but the fish F OTR. A couple of minutes later I found myself on the wrong side of a preflop cooler and so I decided to quit it. I will give myself always 1BI shot a day for NL400 when I see some nice fishes hitting the tables.
Monday
Pretty short playing day with a lot off table stuff that has to be done before hitting vacation. It's always the same when I wanna go on vacation. Don't wanna leave some left overs so everything should be done so I can really relax and enjoy my vacation. I also once again played mixed due to not so awesome traffic.
So this are the last 3 days in a visual way:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 26 659.92$(LAST UPDATE) + 7 080.31$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 33 740.23/ 100 000$
Well the fact is guys, I run extremely hot. I mean look at this graphs below variance can be so sick whenever you think you understood it bounces back to you right in your face and tells you ''You will never understand me completely''. Guys I improve everyday a bit and I really feel how my game evolves but 14bb/100 after over 30k hands + running a couple of BI below EV on NL200 for real? On one side I'm of course extremely happy but on the other I can't wait to see my real results and my work.
Month
NL200
That I really continue on working on my game despite running hot I bought myself CREV and already learned some interesting things which I didn't know. A pretty interesting tool and it will take a lot of time from me to fully get the most out of it. Although the hypothesis might sometimes be wrong/ you don't give people a certain hand in their range because you haven't expected that/ the random factor you can still learn a lot.
Anyway I wish to each one of you happy holidays and I guess GL for those of you who will hit the tables! Cya guys, next week!
To be honest, as his coach i still have that feeling of punching some trolls and "established community members" from earlier on in this thread who made fun of this being a RB challenge or whatever. I don't wanna deny it and pretend to be calm like Buddha. I'm not. These are my lower human instincts, but they are part of the motivation to work hard and harder.
Hans seems to be more evolved in this regard which i guess speaks for him ;). He's a much more graceful winner than i will ever be.
Despite running a bit below EV i think there is 0 doubt that 15bb is not sustainable. He definitely ran hot in set over set which all-in EV can't account for. And that this story is not one big hot run should be clear after he posted the 100k breakeven graph a while ago.
However, what everybody should learn from this:
NEVER EVER let anybody belittle you for HOW you do things. I would be as proud if he were "only" a RB pro but making 5 figures monthly. It doesn't matter. Our goal is not to be admired by trolls, but to inspire everybody in this great community (and in the poker world as a whole) that YES YOU CAN do it.
And yes, you do NOT NEED advanced strategies. Even in 2014. We regularly laugh our asses off when we completely destroy those players with all their advanced moves.
You gotta have balls of steels and don't listen to ANYBODY but yourself (and perhaps somebody you trust).
Raskolnikov - these people you're coaching give me huge inspiration really. Also those videos on the youtube channel are just great. Nice to see them free and available and see you at work! Just listening to 5 minutes of 1 video gives me new ideas.
Thx a lot for the work and ethics you put into our comunity and the whole poker comunity!
I will love to get 10k/year with or without Rb anyday 
Leave alone a month Yes thats a good salary per year where I live
So sick progress there nl2 to nl200 in no time including a breakeven strech
Hey man, nice blog.
It probly says this somewhere in the blog but i can't find it, what is the name of the book you keep refering to?
Cheers
Hey!
really nice and inspiring work What kind of BRM did you use for 25NL/50NL and 100NL? And stoploss at 5 BI on all levels?
Looking forward to see the progress of your new goal
Challenge Days: 125&126&127
@bigfl0p
The Name of the book is NO 6max BS. Information about you can find here.
@goldenbode
Haha, TX mate!
@Icedyo
For NL25 I used 25BI BRM with 5BI shot taking. For NL50 I used 30BI again with 5BI shot taking. NL100 I used 35 or 40 BI can't really remember, no actually I didn't use a standard one because I got RB and I think I moved up when I had like 60BI. And yeah my stop losses are mostly 5BI and on weekends if I played really good I give sometimes myself another 3-5BI.
@Naidonis
Vacation takes his time. But now I'm back with an update.
@SirPaulius
TY buddy!I definitely will give my best to keep it up.
Hi everyone,
Back from vacation. Played over the weekend and with extremely mixed performances and feelings. But let's start day by day:
Friday:
First grinding day after the vacation things where pretty OK-ish but I already noticed that my C frequencies are totally off. And I noticed once again some small crazy monkey inside me.
Saturday:
Extremely overwhelming day for me. I was already overwhelmed with a bunch of infos on that day but when I hit the tables I wasn't really there. Again my current C frequencies are getting just worse and worse. After 1 spewed BI decided to quit. No point in continuing to play some C-D game.
Sunday:
I found some OK-ish action on the NL400 tables but there I'm not really loved by variance which is OK since I run hot on NL200. The games where pretty OK and I quit when I lost little over a BI. Didn't perform very well but didn't bad either. But after sometime again i noticed I make stupid C downs and after 2 retarded hands of mine I decided to move down and hit the NL100 tables. I will play there until I get some discipline back and consolidate myself with my emotions.Probably at the end of the week I will get back on the NL200/NL400 tables.
So this is how things look:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 33 740.23$(LAST UPDATE) + 1 043.39$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 34 783.62/ 100 000$
Haven't found time for CREV but hopefully the next couple of days I will starting to work more intensely. So NL100 for next couple of days until I rebuild some solid discipline/control my emotions better.
Cya guys!
I wanted to ask do you still play at Hive network. If so then how do you import those hands in HEM?
Challenge Days: 128&129&130
@Naidonis
Yeah I do play from time to time there when there is some good action. But basically officially HM doesn't support the Hive network so I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it.
So guys,
It's time again for an update. Again mixed feelings. It's getting better I consolidate myself but still I'm playing currently somewhere in between like donk and very solid play. For example I play for like 5-6h then 1h complete madness and find myself on the side of donks. I feel like I'm getting a little bit back on track so hopefully until the weekend I will find myself again with a solid disciplined strategy that brought me this awesome month. I currently have to admit that for me there is no better pleasure then if I played really good poker. Having a winning session is always nice but sometimes I do feel a little bad when I had a winning session but I felt I played bad/got lucky. Anyway here is what I came up with:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 34 783.62$(LAST UPDATE) + 870.57$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 35 654.19$/ 100 000$
So I waited on purpose to make the update today so I can summarize the month. So let's jump into that.
April Report
Well I can actually describe this month in pretty short words : MY BEST MONTH EVER! Could have been even better money wise if I didn't go on vacation and didn't get out my grinding zone/swings with my performance at the tables. But yeah, I guess I take the 17k$ without RB. ♦
Volume wise I also find it OK since I had 10 days vacation. As long as every month I can come up with at least 100k hands I won't complain. The month itself was of course and unforgettable one. I mean so many record facts in my poker career:
- My first +10k$ from profits only
- My first 5k$ day
- Started playing NL200 as regular almost and shot taking NL400
And all together looks like this:
Now there is IMO no need to say that I was generally speaking threaten extremely well by variance. I see the overall result(astonishing number) as gift from variance. But if I get back on earth I actually see that the most important thing has been done/accomplished and that's the fact that I improved. That's for me the current key IMO to finish this challenge. I would say I improved my skills in so many areas that I'm very happy how I'm developing. Also what's important is that I'm extremely aware what am I missing(my leaks) and that's something that prior Gordon didn't fully understand. So really looking into the new month with high hopes that it will be once again a month were I will improve even more. If I don't make that much profit it's fine because I finally might be able to add as well some RB :P.
That's it guys for April and today. Enjoy a nice day off and for those of you at the felts GL!
Challenge Days: 131&132
@SirPaulius
TX mate! Guess you nice wishes helped me a bit since today I had my first nice day at the NL400 tables! ♦ 
So guys,
This will be a short update. I played only Thursday and Saturday since Friday I had some RL issues. I guess the heater continues and so with a pretty B perfomance I managed to score a big win TX to NL400 and marathon grind of overall 13h on Saturday. But again not very pleased how I played especially in the end of the session. But yeah, after 13h of grind in a single day guess I will forgive myself. Although knowing that I already made my 48h for the week and tomorrow I can finally resent my notes in Note Caddy and create them based on NC Edge definitions(PC should be unusable for like 15-16h) so I guess it was really worth the effort today. Anyway this is how things look a like:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 35 654.19$(LAST UPDATE) + 4768.76$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 40 422.98$/ 100 000$
So that's it for today!Now off to bed! CYA
Challenge Days: 133&134&135
So guys,
30h of poker in 3 days are gonna do the job for this week. Gonna use the small amounts of time today and probably Sunday to work off table. I have to set up the parameters for the badges because otherwise my tables look like big a window full of badges. About the game itself. Well not really happy TBH. It's not how I'm supposed to play. Anyway this are the results:
TOTAL CHALLENGE: 40 422.98$(LAST UPDATE) + 353.09$(WINNINGS 3 DAYS) = 40 776.07$/ 100 000$
