Final Destination ..... $1.5k?!?

Hello everyone!

I didn't update for 2 weeks so it's time to say few words about challenge and overall. I've made decent profit in past two weeks especially last week where I ran good in both sites.

At 888 I manage to recover losses from 5BI shots @NL10 so this week I'm starting new shots. Hopefully, this time will be my time. I didn't play so many hands bcs few coolers and bad beats in the beginning of playing this limit. I had big upswing this weekend so mindset is good and can't wait to take another shot. Things are going good at P* as well, in last 20k hands made around $170 profit. I can say that I'm adopted to this limit so I'm starting to find some exploitive spots to increase profit and move up.

I'm satisfied with volume, last week almost 6k hands, and hope it will be standard for upcoming weeks. I'll be playing 5 days at week, Tuesday and Wednesday will be day off for playing but not for learning, browsing and posting/evaluating hands etc etc. I've started to comment and discuss hands in evaluation threads, it's good way to confirm my knowledge and with good discussion even expand that knowledge.

Below are stats for past weeks.
CU later….

Weeks 29&30

Hands: 9972
Profit: +$58,32
Yield: 8.23%
------------------------------------------------------------
Current Bankroll: $767,34
Overall Profit: +$506,73
Overall Progress: 33,78%

Things aren't change too much after last post but there were lots of happening. After great run on Pokerstars, 2 weeks ago I hit dark side of variance. I wasn't playing bad but variance done it's work and made it losing 10 BI for NL10. I remember one session where I won 3 stacks and still get in losing session.
So, after rereading notes from one of the best threads AMA: Twice T, I've decided to follow one of the TwiceT advice about tilt and bankroll managment

everytime i lost some buy-ins on lets say 1k. say 7k. i moved down to 400 and 600 and grinded it back. i never let it happen to rly lose many buy-ins. in case i had lost also some moniez on 600, i would mix 400 and 200 and make it back. within some weeks i always had the moniez back and could continue grinding. might not be the best longterm ev decision to move down if u have sufficient bankroll, but for me it was the best choice cuz i absolutely prevented any sort of tilt due to a downswing. i just moved down, worked on my game, made the money back (and won some more) and booom, everything was ok.

So, last week I drop down to NL5 and comfortably played 12 regular tables + 4 regular tables at 888. After few k hands I've managed to recover some of my loses so I believe would be back at NL10 very soon. This is not to recover money as much to recover mental side like confidence and being to at least play B-game. Cause when you lose some sufficient amount BI you automatical start to doubt your game. I didn't want to doubt to my game so I'm playing lower limit to „convince“ myself that I'm doing some right moves.

On 888 I play regular 4 tables at NL10, I feel very good and hope I'll soon make some money. There are lots of mixed tables with regs and fishes so I have to table select. Fortunately, there are lots tables at this limit but if there aren't I even open some NL5 tables.

February profit isn't achieved, mainly because of Pokerstars downswing, made only $77 so hope that March will more profitable. Goals are the same and soon I hope I'll expand them a little. Below are goals, stats for previous weeks.

February goals:
Play 15k hands - 21k hands
Recover losses at 888 and take another shot - recover and playing 4 tables
Reread postflop articles and make strategy lines for differrent situations - Post at least 10 hands in this thread or discussion thread - didn't post but commented so this count aswell
Profit $100 - $77,12, lost 2 BI in last february session

March goals:
Play 20k hands
Recover losses at PS and get back to NL10
Reread postflop articles and make strategy lines for differrent situations
Post/Comment at least 10 hands in this thread or discussion thread
Profit $100

CU later…..

Weeks 31-34

Hands: 20249
Profit: -$7,50
Yield: -1%
------------------------------------------------------------
Current Bankroll: $759,84
Overall Profit: +$499,23
Overall Progress: 33,28%

March didn't end well, end it it red zone when hit a major downswing. This downswing is still actaul especially at pokerstars where I can't catch a break. I made it to silverstatus at Pokerstars, that's a mini achievement, so hope that through stars coin can recover some losses. ATM I'm playing 10 tables, it's optimal number and hope I won't have to reduce. If downer continue I'll take step down and grind it at NL5. 888 end it good, made it around $30 profit so it's time to make some serious money.

I'm satisfied with overall volume, played 25.5k hands and hope to even increase if I could.
March goals are mainly achieved, except profit, so this will be main focus in april. Below are stats, graphs and goals for april.

hey,
didn't post it bcs they suck!!

just kidding, been buisy lately. but results still suck

It's been a while since I made a proper blog entry so it's time to do that. I've been buisy lately, results didn't come as I expectied so I wasn't in a mood to write even few words and sentences. Since my last entry BR is improved so now it's around $930, mainly bcs of stars BR which is now around $700. Last month I used rakeback which I didn't use this year, so with addiotional $130 I have a peak at stars. I'll use monthly rakeback to recover losses or to improve my bankroll. I hit a heater at stars last week banking $110 which is almost my all profit for this month. This will allow me to consider taking shots at NL25 which will follow after my vacation, so in about 2-3 weeks. Before that I'll need to reconstruct my ranges, include some 4bet ranges bcs on NL10 I use only KK+ for my 4bet range, and QQ, AK in steal situation. I reckon that it will be a lot 3bet/4bet pots so need to improve my game in that area with proper ranges. Also I need to improve my blind game or defense vs steal bcs this are only spot with negative WR, something like -15/100 in SB and -55/100 in BB. So this is area that I will to resolve so I can move faster.
At 888 things were BE until last week when I hit a big downswing losing around $90 so I need some adjustment. I playing same game at PS and 888 but think that I'll need to change my 888 game. Maybe I'm to aggressive when playing at 888 tables, there are lot of calling station so I choose a wrong spots to bluff or value bet. With slightly adjustments I think I can turn around and make profit at 888 also, just need to work harder and results will come.

Below are stats for challenge, I'm almost at 2/3 of this journey which I hope to make soon so I can start another.

Weeks 37-53

Hands: 103770
Profit: $201,11
------------------------------------------------------------
Current Bankroll: $933,52
Overall Profit: +$672,91
Overall Progress: 44,86%

Enjoy yours vacation, as will I, and CU soon.

Over and out.....

S**t, how time flies, it's been over 4 months since my last update. I'm really neglected this blog and I feel kind of a shame :f_frown:. Anyway I hope I'll be start to make updates at least on weekly basis, where I would post some stats, hands and maybe graphs.

I'm still playing at PS and 888 with overall bankroll of $1045 so I'm around $450 short to complete my first challenge. After vacation I took shot on NL25 at PS which started very well at a beginning with almost 8 BI in green. But then I hit downswing where a lost $400 and get me back to grind at NL10. Today I took another shot so hope I will stick a little longer at this limit. At 888 I keep bouncing between limits, mainly NL5 and NL10. Currently I'm at NL10 and feel very good so hope I will make another hop to next limit.

Below are stats from week 54 until now and few hands losing/winning hands from last session. Comment if you like and point to mistakes that I made.

Hit top 2 pairs OTT, I don't see how I can fold this. He could still have some AJ, AK so I believe this is just bad luck.

Although I won 2 BI I think I got really lucky. Also think that I should raise flop and maybe jam turn if we were HU.

Cooler against a whale. Maybe I could increase bets vs such a player but in the end it's just a cooler.

Last week start great, made it around $85 on Monday but with 7 losing session I've got another red week. This is feeling frustrated cause I've been jumping up and down, especially at 888. I just need to work hard and learn so I can find my place under the sun. I cut down number of tables so now I'm playing 5 NL25 at PS and 4 NL10 tables at 888. I'm satisfied with volume, several weeks that was around 10k per week and with new number of tables I think I can manage to play around 7k, with that I'll be satisfied.

Below are stats and graph for last week, good luck and CU.

Hi DanDule, thx for signing in
My bankroll is a little over $900, I've got something around $700 at Pokerstars and $250 at 888, mixing NL25 and NL10 FR regular tables.
