I start playing at $ 30 for about 3-4 weeks ago and decided to quit working, the last day I work is May 31st.
My goals are the first month to play at least 3000 games and start playing 3 tables at a time ,
and watch one movie a day from spinLedgends.
Will try to update regularly when I have stopped working :f_drink:

Here is a graph of $15

Have been a bad week for me only played 225 games. My job has taken too much time, but only two weeks left until I quit :)
Did not get any money this week but it feels pretty good to play at $ 30. Think I'll be able to win there in the long run.

Thanks Totte and Renmerb :f_drink:

My last day at work was on thursday :f_biggrin:
My goal for the month of June is to play 3000 games and have a CEV of at least 55 and watch 20 movies.
But it did not start so well got a 10x and my first 25x but did lose both, and the day end with $ -750 Cev-50 playd about 100 games.
But one day where things go bad does not matter.
have watched 3-4 movies and they have been very good, learned a lot about preflop.

After a bad start of the month, it starts to look good again managed to get four 10x today in 40 games.
But i find it hard to play long sessions, if you have any good advice please, let me know.

And a little graph update on $ 30

Nice results in the end :f_drink: Have you tried reducing the number of tables or taking a few more breaks? I found it hard to find the perfect balance but everyone is different. The most important point is try not hitting volume goals too often, take it at your own pace :f_thumbsup:

Look forward to your next update.

GL at the tables

I have not been so active because it has been a really bad month.
I actually think that I have come to know why I played so poorly,
We have got new ranges so I wrote out everyone and started putting them on the wall, became very nice:f_biggrin:

But I realized I was always watching what I would do preflop instead of seeing how the others play.
So for about two weeks I played very badly had about 40-45 cev.
So now I've taken down everything and start to see how the others are playing, now it's starting to look really good again.

Fun hand: I was very sure he had two or three when he donk flop, and on the river I thought I had A5 so I call
but it ends quite well :f_cool:

Hero (SB): 31.13 BB
BB: 18.87 BB (VPIP: 73.33, PFR: 46.67, 3Bet Preflop: 66.67, Hands: 16)

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 6d Ac
Hero calls 0.5 BB, BB checks

Flop : (2 BB, 2 players) 2d Jd 3c
BB bets 1 BB, Hero calls 1 BB

Turn : (4 BB, 2 players) Qs
BB bets 1.87 BB, Hero calls 1.87 BB

River : (7.73 BB, 2 players) 5c
BB bets 15 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 15 BB

BB shows Ts Kd (High Card, King)
(Pre 43%, Flop 29%, Turn 30%)

Hero shows 6d Ac (High Card, Ace)
(Pre 57%, Flop 71%, Turn 70%)

Hero wins 37.73 BB
