A Blog is certainly an awesome way to keep motivation up, as long as you keep up with the updates ofc

Looks like your last 600 hands where pretty sweet!

Just out of curiosity, have you worked your way up to NL50 from Micro's or ?

Yea I forget to update it over time, then my blogs get lost

I have worked my way up to nl50 from nl2 yes but like when i got to nl25 i then started playing MTTs and played those for a while at like a $30 average buyin and made a fair amount.

But now cos of uni and life I don't really like playing MTTs cos you have to commit to sessions for a long time, so I went back to nl25 and then worked my way up to nl50 where I've pissed about for a bit too long now

Some ambitious goals you have, you'll have to get in way more volume than in the NL50 graph you showed.

Anyway, will be awesome if you can reach it! I'll be routing for you.

Yes I know its kinda hard with uni and things, but i've played 10k this month already at least.

My biggest leak by far has to be alcohol.

Spent £100 last night and i have probably the worst hangover I've had in ages today - drank half a bottle of vodka.

Still, promised myself I'd put volume in this weekend so going to drink a lot of water and try to go on a fishing trip later ♠_biggrin:

u suck at updating

sick graph tho

So I have played a lot already this month. Semi good results - online has been quite good - but I've played NL100£ live twice this month and spunked about $500 in that game, which I've withdrawn from my bankroll. As a result current roll stands at about $1.1k (pre rb for the month). Im still reasonably confident however that I can have a $2.5k roll at the start (or in the first 2 weeks) of april so that I can start shooting NL100 for a 5bi shot.

Reason I played live was because I was watching EPT stream and just got cravings to play live, it defs is not the most +EV decision in terms of $/hr atm. When I get to $6k roll however I think I'm gna start mixing in £1/2 live with my online grind.

Graph for month so far (it's out by about $200 i think cos of rage quit when i lost a pot before hand was imported) :
