Grinding my way to Japan!!! FR,SNG,CAP

jurish123 · 2012-07-18T15:42:15Z

Hello everyone, as my title says, im gonna grind my way to Japan, at least i will try. So I'm thinking to move to Japan next year in January or April but if i'll not be succesful than next year in July or October, but my primaly goal is to move in January, as sooner as possible... This summer is my 6th year when i'm playing poker and trying to grind my way up to HSNL, but i always had tilt problems and everytime i had days when i lost more than 5BI i could withdraw everything and lose it in sports betting. Shit happens if you do it first time but when you lose your hard earned BR everytime you start to have losing days it's more than stupididty than "shit happens." So, this year i already had 2 couches who helped me to fix my tilt problems and helped to improve my game, also bought Tendler's book "the mental game of poker" which helps a lot in bad days. So i finally fixed the problems that i had previous years and no the only thing left is to grind. So in 4th June i deposited 130$ in Stars and it will be the last time i will deposit anything in poker, so i started to play cash FR NL2, to this day i already played more than 300k hands, here's the graph: NL2 and a litte of NL5: not much, but i went through my hand history in June and i gave away more than 70BI!!! imagine i gave away almost 150$ in NL2 by thinking that everyone are bluffing in turn and river... But i fixed that too and now i feel more confident and i know that everyone are too solid to bluff. &diams; So, my goal is to grind and move up as soon i feel confident that i'm crushing certain limit. So now i'm playing NL5 and will try to get 100k hands this week and see how i'm doing, the same goes for next week if i'm feeling confident than i will move to NL10 and will try to play 100k hands in NL10 and mix with NL16. Later i will mix cash with SNG MTT 90man and 180man, but this month i will concentrate on cash only. About CAP, i'm gonna play SH in Stars when i'll have 3k$ bankroll so that's 300bi for NL50 and will try to study them so that later i could completely switch to them. I'm gonna grind a lot and hope that hard work pays off, and also hope that my Blog will be fun enough to follow :) Current BR: 433$ GOALS: July: Until 22 July: 100k hands in NL5 23rd - 31st 100k hands in NL10 and 50k in NL16 goals about august i will update at the end of July. Main Goal: need 20k$ to move to Japan. GL&HF

Before i start to play i want to point out few things. First i will not play on partypoker, cause the freerolls are pretty bad and the scheduled tourneys are too expensive to play, so i'm gonna change to microgaming. Second, whenever i will play,lose or win i will just edit my post so that it will be easier to see everything in one post.

Today so far:

Triobet(Microgaming):

50$ freeroll - lost
200$ freeroll - lost

Also will edit post if i will play some other things, like step SnG or rush etc.

14th November summary:

Wow, run like shit today and also didn't feel good to begin with but oh well, today i played more than 12 hours and as poker goes, sooner or later i will have a nice day and will start to win. Starting from tomorrow i will grind 9max SnG and hope for the best.

wow I thought you played MSS but when I just saw you at my table I saw you sat with 100bb.

I have 2 questions?
- Why do you think zoom is easier than regular tables?
- Can you show a graph with SD/nonSD winnings?

grtz

I tried to play with MSS many times but somehow i couldn't find the right approach so i'm using BSS most of the time.

- but it was easier and my winrate and most important(for me) hourly rate went up dramatically and i was shocked that i was an decent winner there with no effort I think you need to decide for yourself which is better regular or zoom but from my point of view zoom is much profitable than regulars. hope it helped

what hourly did u have playing that style on Nl5?
