Anyone going to positivus here?

Someone wanted me to go, but I didn't think it'd be worth the time and effort.

Didn't have much interesting for me in the lineup.

Today again didn't play that much, that means I will have to play on holidays a little bit. I will post this week's graph on Sunday.

But that "didn't play much" thing is probably 5k plus

Here is a tip how to play 86o when there's a raise and 3bet before u

PokerStars Zoom No-Limit Hold'em, $2.00 BB (6 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($198)
SB ($252.52)
BB ($296.40)
UTG ($63)
MP ($203)
Hero (CO) ($286.44)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K♠, K♣
UTG bets $6, 1 fold, Hero raises to $19, 2 folds, BB calls $17, UTG calls $13

Flop: ($58) 2♥, 6♠, 6♣ (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $22, BB calls $22, 1 fold

Turn: ($102) Q♦ (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $60, BB raises to $126, Hero calls $66

River: ($354) A♥ (2 players)
BB bets $129.40 (All-In), Hero calls $119.44 (All-In)

Total pot: $592.88 | Rake: $2.80

Results:

Spoiler

BB had 6♦, 8♣ (three of a kind, sixes).
Hero had K♠, K♣ (two pair, Kings and sixes).
Outcome: BB won $590.08

Edit : actually that hand has 4.41% chance to outdraw KK on the flop. He almost had the right odds.

Today played ~12k and won back some money I lost before. Really can't post graph because I started my session before 12 AM and it's hard to filter necessary hands and I have more than 1 session there. Now 6.4k hands left, going to play them this evening. Then I will post full graph

FINALLY IT'S DONE !!!!!

I got good upswing in last 10k hands which brought me back to highest point again. It feels very good when now it's done, especially when I won more than expected. Here's the overall graph :

Here is review of my objectives :

Main objectives :
:spade: Play 240k hands in a month (starting June 25, finishing July 25) - COMPLETED
:spade: Play nl200 or higher - COMPLETED (played only nl200)
:spade: Have a profit (excluding rb) - COMPLETED

Optional objectives :
:heart: Play 12k hands a day - COMPLETED FOR FIRST 2 WEEKS
:heart: Play 20 days, only working days - ALMOST COMPLETED (played like 5k hands on holidays)
:heart: Drink 30 liters of beer - COMPLETED AT LEAST TWICE

Now I have some experience with hardcore grinding :P It's really hard to play some many hands every day, dunno how all SNEs do that. It would take 10 months for me to get it playing 240k hands a month, but still it's possible that I will go for it next year. Now planning to play higher stakes with better reads and less tables. Will see how that goes and then I could decide is it better to play for the profit or volume. Now probably taking off some days :)
