Hi! I'm a 25y old grinder and I'm gonna crush 45man turbos on PokerStars this month!
This are my results in those games so far:

Been running well in the 1.5$ ones with 20% ROI and incredibly bad in the 3.5% (-13% ROI) and that made me lose some confidence and not grind as much as I should. But now I'm going to make things right. Starting April with 150$, exactly 100 BIs for 1.5$ and willing to stay here to study the game some more, build some confidence and make some money to pay the bills.

(old) Goals:

  • Play 3k games
  • Update this blog at least 3 times per week
  • Watch 2 videos every week
  • Reduce my tilt to a minimum
  • Finish Insanity
  • Make 700$+ (hopefully more)
  • Take some shots at 3.5$ (after my bankroll will be 350$+)

Edit 12/04: Moving to 180mans

Thanks Frankie!
So day 1 went crazy, up and down and up and down. Got tilted and took a 30 mins break, but I think I played well. 107 games

Some interesting hands:
Know when to holdem, know when to foldem
Weird hand, I would have folded vs a reg
Villain is a nitty reg and given the size I thought he was weak...

I'm on a big downswing atm, but it's ok. You just have to watch this:

I'm recovering from a 60 BI downswing now, almost BE for the month, 324 games played so far with today's session about to start after I workout and eat.
I want to buy the HoldemResources Calculator as I used the trial and it's the greatest way of improving my game (besides bothering my bf with questions about my hands :f_love: ). Also I want to buy a new monitor and play more tables (doing 9 atm but I feel I could do 12 for the first hours of the grind).
I got on the Count 2014 leaderboard for 4-6 tables under 2$ and I'm also on the profit one and best 100 and best 500 streaks. I'm not sure why I'm in the 4-6 tables category as I play more than 8 for most of the time but whatever. I guess it's more motivation trying to get higher in the leaderboards too. Speaking of motivation:

Hey guys! Sorry for the lack of updates but I decided to move to the 180mans so I'm playing less and studying more. Once I get some new goals I'll post an update. I guess I should change the title, as I'm not gonna update as much and I won't play as much as I thought I would either.
