Great! Will be nice with some company How many tables are you currently playing?

I'm still deciding on the week's volume, will post as soon as I've made a decision!

Yes, I think along the way more will join so will be good! I see the volume (300 x 5 = 1,500) and my schedule this week is also rather busy but I think I will manage somehow I will give a link to this thread in my blog so my readers might want to have a look as well. I play 3 tables now without difficulties.

Cheers,

Hi,
I'm also for quality and for this challenge. Where do i write how many hands i wanna play? For the matter of habit, everyone thinks with a bunch of habits you lose freedom, but it's not like that. You get more, because with habits you create options and with options then come freedom.

Awesome! Well, you can either post it here in my thread if you want and update here, or you can crate your own challenge/blog and link it to here, which ever you prefer!

@Hesticus: You don't have to have the same volume goal as me, you can set your own if you prefer!

I am switching my main laptop today so I hope I get everything (HEM, pokersites etc) set up without hassle and be able to play!

But knowing how it usually ends for me, that won't be the case.

If you are having trouble with HEM2, I might be of help by passing you a recording where a guy from HEM fixed my SQL problem. Let me know and I'll link a Dropbox folder or something:f_thumbsup:

Well noted about the volume!

Thanks but I think I got most of it set up. Have to import HUD and fix all settings etc but I played a few hands and it seems to be working so far *knocks on wood*

So here's my little setup, where I work and grind

PS sorry about shitty quality

End of day results

600 hands
+$13,39

600/1500 hands played
1/5 days

So I put in a few extra hands on NL10 as a warm up since I haven't played much during exams and I don't know how much I'll be able to play later. Off to a good start, and officially opted back into the challenge!

Damn. I feel hungover today. And I didn't even get to enjoy any drinks!!!

Mostly hangovers are due to dehydration though so I'll just get some extra salt and fuel up with a few glasses of water and get a session in anyway! I feel like this is the perfect spot to challenge myself and not just say "ah I feel so crap today I take the day off" but instead try to recover/figure out what makes me feel better and then play some

Tuesday evenings are always my evening off anyway so I'll be more than happy if I can fit in some work in the next few hours and then enjoy the evening off.

I missed out on some hands yesterday, because my day settings in HEM were set at midnight! I actually won $5 less yesterday because I had -$5 in the last hands that were missing, but I took that back today! (played ~400 hands)

Also went for a walk in the sun (since at last we had a day without thunder and rain clouds!) for an hour and now I'm taking the rest of the night off. I hope you all get some sunshine and rungood too!

Weekly total results

1105 hands
+$13,43

Wow, many hands! I will update it tomorrow also on a daily basis then ♦

I am still waiting to hear about your goals!

Am not sure I will be able to play much today/rest of the week that's why I put in some extra hours early in the week.

Yess, I was in two minds today whether to post it every day or every week together with my update because I have the feeling I am spamming with the former

However, I will just do it every day because it is going goooood

Do we have some computersmart/HEM smart people around here?

PostgreSQL
data_directory (string)

Specifies the directory to use for data storage. This parameter can only be set at server start.

What does this mean? My HEM (or rather postgres) is storing the data in a part of my SSD where there is very little space left. I'd like to move it to a different partition in the SSD. Is this at all possible or do I have to reinstall postgres? I would be eternally grateful if someone knew how to help me!!

Found some time for some hands today!

479 hands
+$9.45

Adding it to the weekly results, we get:

Weekly total results

1584 hands
+$22.81

1584/1500 hands played

Basically I have completed my goal for the challenge this week, but ofc if I manage to find a little more time to play I will!

Nice result! HEM fixed already?

Thank you! Yes, I think it is Time will tell!

Sven is right, what makes a blog interesting is hands, graphs, pics etc! So here's how we're doing since the beginning of my micro stakes challenge

Have a nice weekend!

Was gonna update last night but I ran out of time before the game! Even though it was not Germany's finest performance, and even though Ukraine definitely deserved a goal, Neuer and Boateng definitely saved it! And ofc my favourite player scoring the 2-0 in the final minutes just made it even sweeter

So I played at Pokerstars for my challenge the last few days and got $1 twice. I will keep clearing some pyramids and report here what I win, but I won't count it towards my bankroll since I've not counted any type of rakeback to my winnings since very early!

Will update a bit later how last week went, first I have a coaching and after that I'll watch Sweden play! Hopefully will be an interesting game vs Ireland

Weekly total results 6-12th June

2,887 hands

2,887/1500 hands played
5/5 days

Managed to find more volume than planned, that's always nice So I'm upping the volume for this week, and I expect I probably end up playing a bit more than that as well if I clear the pyramid daily! I had $5 today!

Weekly goals 13-19th June

0/2,500 hands played
0/5 days

Pyramid Results: $1 + $1 + $5

Week 48 summary

Hands: 2,887

Ooops! I totally forgot to include my MTTs for last week that I played on the side

PS: Sweden got so lucky, they def didnt deserve the draw!
