things are going very well , i'm still super above the EV but if we take the the 888 graph i wouldn't soo i think its ok and all those spots i played well and i would do the same play again so no problem with this EV , i think with this game till the end of the month i can make 2bb or more /100 , i'm expecting 350 euros from the total rakeback of the month and if i get 2bb/100 i will get more 240 in total so it will be around 800 euros , i have 107$ on neteller and i will need probably more 90 euros from those 800 to pay my things here , if i run above 2bb/100 i can move up to nl25 next month if i dont i think i will wait a bit more just to be safe all depends on the confidence but i think with this game i can crush this limit very easily . results of the day : its saying 2 days because i played till now almost 1 am , i have been playing over 8 hours per day because i'm playing only 6 tables at the same time , i think its safer and i play a lot better and with less tables i can play for more hours because its not so exhaustive .

Hands played 27373
Profit : + €203.45 + €0.50(freeroll)
Bankroll : €500 (counting with the cashout that i will make soon)

week 12

test week on colege and a lot of things to do , a lot of internet problems etc etc etc , this week wasnt that good sadly :f_cry: , i'm a bit tired of playing now , played a lot this month but it was realy worth it , this week i tried something new , i added something to my play that it seems its a good idea it is helping my red line a lot and its not realy harming my blue line that much , here is the week graph :

hands played : 20865
profit : €182.32 + €15 freeroll
Bankroll : 697,32 ( soon i will get €300 of rakeback this month , i will probably need to cashout a little bit more because the dollar price here dropped down , anyway i will try to achieve 1k bank to start at nl20 , i will probably start there in 2 days or so , lets make 2k in may :f_drink: )

hands played : 20833
results : + €161.57 at the tables (i'm not sure of how much rakeback i won from last month because there are a lot of taxes and when i cashout i pay like 3 taxes in total and i still having some more rakeback to get from last month ).

week 14

not a really good week , i think this one was the worst week of the challenge so far in terms of bad beats, coolers and money lost but again i'm feeling like i'm playing very well i think i already adapted to the limit , off poker i'm really busy these days... i'm waking up and playing and finishing the last session right before going to sleep but its worth , soon i will get to the nl50/nl100 and there all the efforts will be super worth it.

Results :

Hands played : 25283
Profit : - €176.34 + $112 bonus +$20 rakerace from the end of past month
Bankroll : $493 + €500

10-15 BI swings are hardly a rollercoaster... especially with the amount of hands you are playing.

worst week ever :f_cry: , i stoped playing at friday i think lost too much money , i stoped playing for a bit i'm think about what to do now , most of that i really think it was a really bad run i couldnt win any pot my WWSF was 46-47% before this wee and i wasnt running so good but this week i ran 39% of WWSF without chaging the game basicaly losing every flop , graph :

but its ok i have a good amount of rakeback from past month that i received now and some money from this month rakeback i will get some more from races so nothing to worry about i didnt stop playing because i really thought it was a bad run maybe i was right but now i will probably movedown to recover the motivation . i cashed out everything to neteller now i have $1277 and i will get a bit more from the rake race but i will cashout a bit to pay my colege .

Hands played : 10109
Result : -€387.82 (received a lot of money from rakeback and changed all my points for cash etc idk exactly how much i won of rakeback but its around 500$ )

i changed the site to party poker this week , i will play fast foward poker to make some volume and i'm testing some new strategies , i wanted to play at nl10 but there isnt much volume there and i need to wait for new hands so i changed to nl25 , besides that i played a bit of nl4 just for testing etc i will just post the nl10/nl25 hands :

i didnt play that much but this next month i will play as much as i can , i will try to play 56k hands per week and post it here ,

GL, 50k hands is a lot - my best is probably 4k a day (pre zoom though), so 50k per week is not really achievable...

well , those weeks are passing really quickly , i'm done with nl25 i think i dont have a game that is good enough to beat this i lost a bit there desmotivated a bit and started to study more , i didnt play the number of hands that i wanted because of that but np its ok , i started at nl10 with an a bit different strategy not much , i'm trying to lose less money at the blinds and so far it went well , yesterday i had a bad day but today i won 17 bi'ns lol , even losing almost 6 bi'ns in 2 super big cooler at the beggining of the day , today i played 7.5k hands i could had played the 8k but my internet stoped working :f_eek: . anyway the plan still the same, play a lot everyday i think i can play 200k hands more this month , i need to clear all this bonus from party at least .

hands played : 29396 ( 641 at chico network )
