Hi guys,

not sure if I am allowed to post this here, if not I apologize in advance. In case it is I could update this thread with new vids, otherwise moderators please feel free to remove it.

I have started a challenge to turn $80 into $8000 moving up through the 6-max cashgame stakes 2NL to 200NL at PokerStars and post a daily update video on YouTube about my progress. My main volume in this challenge is at Zoom poker.

You can find all episodes on my YouTube Channel.

Here's video #1:

Hope you enjoy!

I still don't understand his BRM...

On a question about his BRM on youtube he answered this:
Hey, so as a baseline to be playing a certain level I'm assuming 40 x 100BB buy-ins. Whenever I reach 4 x 100bb of the next higher level, I might take that excess money there on a shot. At some points I will be more conservative with the BRM though, it's more of a guideline.

Can some1 explain this by example?

EDIT: I think I figured it out: example => grind up to 240$ on NL5 (40xBI+4BI of NL10) and then take a shot on NL10 with the 40$... If you fall below 200 again, grind NL5 again to 240 etc...
