I might have missed to track some playing time. Not sure.

Didn't meet my sleeping goal. The Average of the last week was 6:36h.

Pretty nice BB/100 played. Do you keep track of your home game profits too?
And where do you clock you time? is it an app?

Yes, I keep track of home game results. My ROI is 68.1% over 103 tournaments.

The time tracking app is called Toggl.

I try to get enough sleep, but once I wake up, it's over.
The only thing I can do is to get to be early enough, so that my usual wake-up time is about 8 hours later.
That would be about 22hr for a 6hr wake-up.

It is really hard in the summer time though, because it is still daylight at 22hr and sunrise is before 6hr even with Daylight Saving time in effect.

Sometimes it just gets weird.
I was in asleep just after 23:15 last night and didn't wake up until 08:30

It's just a very small sample size, and I am running under All-in Adj EV. No big deal.

congratz on beating 2nl if your taking a 5nl shot make sure to set a drop down limit for your shot.My personal preference is to move up at 30 buy ins and give myself 10 buy in shots at the next stake.Then it leaves you 40 to 50 buy ins if you need to move down again it just keeps you a bit of room for comfort but well done . :f_thumbsup:

The Last Post

Hi, this is my last post. I have accomplished what I wanted - that is beating NL2.
It's not that I do not want to blog anymore, but I think the title and the purpose of this blog is no longer relevant.
Thanks for all the support I got, I really appreciate that. I am grateful that I have made some really good connections here on PokerStrategy.

The Results

First all hands until a couple of days after I started this blog (Aug 22 2021) which was obviously a turning point:

That's the graph since the Aug 22 2021:

And the results:

I will still try to respond to any questions in this thread.

Thanks and Bye! πŸ™πŸ»

I'm happy to see that you have beaten NL2.

I don't understand why you would like to close down your blog though. It's always a good motivator to write things down for yourself and reflect. Moving on and talking about your next step, is also interesting to follow. You can easily change the title of your blog without having to start a new one ;)

Either way, good job!

Hey, I've just found this blog and going through it.

I'm curious what poker podcasts do you listen to? Which would you recommend?
