First of all, i'm a brazilian student that is living in Ontario, Canada. So, i'm just living here for 2 weeks, so my english is not good yet, be patient :}
I want start the blog with a challenge: Transform my 10 bucks into a decent bankroll ($1K) by the end of the year.
For 2nl, 5nl and 10nl, i will use 12.5bi's for MSS strategy and 10bi's for BSS. My mindset is good, so i don't worry to move down.
Yeah, that's all for now. Will try update this every day.
So, GL for me.
Hey TheJesusOfSuburbia,
Goodluck on your challenge. Which site will you be playing at?
What are your poker experiences?
Regards,
Kyle.
FTP.
I was a reg of hyper turbos HUSNG.
Mad about $4K this year and bought a DW Drums Collectors.
So i'm gonna starting cash games now, for 2014 i can grind some decent games at HU Hypers
Good luck with you challenge.
There is a long way ahead of you, I hope you will have the patience to make it through.

This board looks ok to c/r as bluff vs a 89% CB guy, after he called my raise, i put him on Kx and some TT, JJ, QQ. I would c/f any turn, but in this ace i just went to value. I'm thinking that i will be called for Kx even if i shove this river. Opinions please

Hello there TheJesusOfSuburbia,
i wish you all good luck on your way. I will definitely follow you progress through the limits.
♠_cry: for the second hand :).
I took a look also at the table stats and realized there were not big fishes at the tables. There were only quite decent players for NL2. Do you do any table selecting? I think you can find many tables with huge fishes and of course your progress will be significantly faster.
Good luck and see you around ♦

Yeah, there isn't more maniacs. My ego doesn't allow i make table selection on 2NL.
I think it's just grind more 10k hands and i'll reached the step 1.
Yeah!! Step 1 is finished. Just get $20 at my bankroll.
So now, i'll start joining at the tables with 100bb' (bss).
I just needed 1.8k hands for double my bankroll:
I'll start grind again tomorrow, have 2 tests tomorrow and need to study.
GL for everybody!
Current Bankroll: $20.71
Challenge Progress: 2,07%
Just had a 500 hands session on this morning for $4 up (2bi).
Gonna playing more 3 hours today, i guess.
So, let's go to the tables.
Beat the Step 2!
I hope that i never more have to play NL2.
I have $26 on my bankroll and gonna start play NL5 with 40bb's.
I just needed 3.1k hands at NL2 to win $15 bucks.
My current bankroll: $26.33
Challenge Progress: 2,63%
Back to NL2 again.
I'm just going to move up with 20bi's.
Current Bankroll: $22,72
Progress: 2,27%
I put all the FTP's money on PokerStars and will play NL2 Zoom.
Already did my first session, 3k hands for a profit of $10.47! How fisher it is the field of PokerStars compared to FTP.
My bankroll now is $34,09! Just will try to play 3k hands/day 4tables zoomin'
What do you think about this river? I think that overbet shove it is better, cause he's gonna be calling with all overpairs, and there isn't any that is beating me in his range as he played.
