- continue with my regular gym workouts (3xweek) - do it for long time but still after some bad poker session feeling so bad to do any workout, have to get out of that habit.
- will try to update this blog at lest once per week and will share graphs and hands for sure

Best of luck!
For the tilt part, I recommend:
https://www.amazon.ca/Mental-Game-Poker-Strategies-Confidence/dp/0615436137 (The Mental Game of Poker by Jared Tendler and Barry Carter) There is also a book two — which I've downloaded but never read.
You can read more about the book in the first few pages of my blog.

thanks mate, will check your blog for sure. I do have pdf format of the book but would like to have paper book so I can read when I am off, yeah i will order both 1 and 2 because tilt really killing my game and winrate and need to take some control over it if I think to make anything in this game..

.

agree! I do have it till NL10, will take shoots when i have ~25 buy ins and move down if lose 4-5 buy ins. I think its ok for now as i still taking shoots at nl5 and its pretty long way ahead, will make sure to have decent BR management as I understand that is very important. Will be interesting to see how I will follow it, especially when I have to move down, it will be challenge. Do not expect to get there over the night anyway, if you have any advice about that feel free to post

Just finished with the first day, played over 2.5k hands mostly 6 tabling and I am very happy with volume, hope I could keep it like that. Rake is really high..:(

Ok, it seems I can't post graph but it was winning session and BR is at $80.

Hi ChekMate,

Welcome to Pokerstrategy,

You definitely need a well define Bankroll Management, especially if you play cash games where you can loose a lot in a bad tilted session. (I'm telling you this because more then 10 years ago I played cash games and got tilted a lot and lost about 70-80% of my bankroll and in 2-3 occasions all of it. )

Good luck in your challenge and keep this blog updated

Thanks man, good luck with your journey as well!

Ok, I'll try to stick with this one:

right now I have $90 and NL5 – move down to NL 2 at $40
$250 – NL10 – down at $150
$500 NL 25 – down at $300
$1000 NL 50 – down at $750
$2000 NL 100 – down at $1500

What do you think?

So far I played
6.7k hands
bb/100 - 5.4
EV bb/100 - 12.6

Update after 1 week:

BR: $120 + RB: $11.80 ( tracker shows $60 rake, i have 35% rb and get $11...) = Total: $131.80

Still can't post graphs so lets go like this:

15,5k hands
bb/100: 7

I guess volume is solid, playing 6 reg tables most of the time but will try to have better volume, at least 20k hands / week. Pretty much fine with my game and didn't tilt so much. Other goals:

- 3 workouts / week - done
- study GTO + videos - done

No bad start so lets go to the next one!

btw, how many posts I need to have to post images?

Good results !

btw, how many posts I need to have to post images?

It's not related to how many post do you have, you need to get to Bronze level.

Week 2 update:

BR: $213 + RB: $7 + GGcare: 28.47 = Total: 248.47

Completed my side goals for this week but sucks with volume, just last two days played over 5k hands and 8+ tables. I really need to create better schedule and to put in volume. Anyway, results are good and I am done with NL5.

Can anyone help me with graphs? I can't send friend request nor private message.. really do not want to sound like an asshole but such rule is a bit annoying, you should allow images but block links if thats possible somehow.

If anyone can post my graphs here please pm me.

cheers,
