FAST NL50! $200 --> $2000 in 1 month. what next?

So im not going to be able to grind much until next wednesday, which obviously sucks as it will put me behind pace for this month

I just finished watching some episodes of 2M2M, and figure that the best way for me to get back on pace is to have a lockdown challenge!

Would anyone be interested in placing some friendly wagers? I would only bet vs. individuals from pokerstrategy who play zoom, and have a blog here as well, just to make it interesting.

Plan is to play 15k hands from Thursday, May 23rd at 1:00pm - Friday, May 24th at 1:00pm.

Anyone interested??????

Srry for not reading all the blog,but on what platform u play?

BTW...Pretty sick hands (tournament ones)...

GL!

OKE,not paying attention,now I've seen.
Are u playing only ZOOM?

What rake objectives u have monthly/early volume/monts etc,TY!

I'm game! playing nl10/25 rush on ftp

hey you, i was needing some excuse to post in here ♦

i am somewhat interested in wagering, actually i also want to do it myself because this month has been ass.
maybe we could make something like who plays more hands, or just set a target like we both go for 15k and if someone doesn't get it then pays.

Thanks Yozan, i play on pokerstars, and only Zoom, and the occasional tournament. Tournaments lately have not been treating me the best

i havent set concrete goals though, which is unfortunate.
my plan was to play 30k hands a week, but once i moved up to NL50 i had to improve my game a lot.
so now i am not sure what my volume goals are

thanks for posting Tomaloc!

my volume this month has been pretty terrible, and am definitely looking to squeeze in a bunch of hands.

i wont have access to my comp until tomorrow, ill pm you though!

havent been able to play much do to may long weekend (victoria day) events and what not

tomorrow i am back to the poker office and ready to go for thursdays big challenge

anyways i played in a live NL50 game tonight, pretty weak field i must say, but was very happy to be playing 6max. ill post some of the hands just so that i can remember

AQ 5 way, utg opens, jams as cbet $35 into $20 on A4hh 2, shows AJ

i flat AQdd 3 way, check/jam vs donk on Td 42, bb folds (bluffy/stabby player)

54hh btn 4 way, i raise dark bet, bet/bet on 85ss Q53

K2hh btn, i bet/bet/bet on A92K3 vs sb (shows Ax)

all in all a pretty fun game, we mixed in some crazy pineapple, omaha, and chinese poker to liven things up too

did you get my last msg?

tell me when you want to get it started

hoping to keep on going with this and re-watch pleno's downgraded video again tonight.

which video is it?

I think he meant this one:
http://www.pokerstrategy.com/video/28307/

Yes Kooort that certainly was the video!

Long time no update!

First of all, the challenge with holmeboy went well, we both completed 12k hands in 24 hrs and even each managed to grind out a profit ♠_cool:

Pokerwise hasnt been the greatest, i have some really great sessions followed by a terrible one once in awhile. i need to work on my mindset a bit i believe.

Also, won a satellite to the SCOOP L main event but am too tired to play and will just save the tourney dollars

Project time tonight then back on the grind tomorrow

had one of my best sessions, finished up 5.5 BI, and was up 7.5 BI in EV

managed around 3k hands, and will be platinum star on stars for the first time ever, although im cutting it close
