I didn't play much this week because I want to finish "The Grinder's Manual" as soon as possible, so I spent most of the time on reading, taking notes and going through the hands. As soon as I finish it, will buy the second book of Peter Clarke, where he is solving 100 hands. I feel those books are just something I need at this point, to learn to properly think about opponents' ranges and my ranges throughout entire hand and plan moves a few steps ahead. I'm also watching his youtube video series for PokerStars School where he is basically covering the most important things from "The Grinder's Manual", but with a bit refreshed facts because some parts of the book are outdated nowadays (the book is finished in 2016th). That's also one of the reasons why I want to finish it as soon as possible and move to the next one, which is completelly up-to-date with today's games.

At this point I'm aware I'm not crushing NL50, but am definitelly good enough to be a slight winner so I will stick to it no matter what. I've played 25k hands so far with the winrate of 2,75. Will play to 100k to make some conclusions and maybe hire a coach at some point after that because I feel I'm in a situation when quitting is not an options because I'm so close to my goals and with the right guide maybe I can reach even NL100 in a year or two, where money really starts to be big for my standards. With a healthy bankroll I have, I can afford paying for coaching hours, but I can probably also negotiate a good CFP deal as a NL50 reg. Will definitelly not rush with it. Let's see what will happen in next 75k NL50 hands.

Great results

Decided to withdraw a big part of the bankroll and play NL25 again untill i reach 35 buy-ins for NL50 for 5 buy-ins shot. Since the results at NL50 and higher were very bad recently, I figured out that there is no sense in playing a limit where I'm break even for a year. That's why I withdrawed a nice amount of money and changed my BRM.

Hi guys! Opting out from Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge because of current lack of time for poker and cashing out the majority of bankroll some weeks ago. Will probably start from scratch when ready.

Hello Alleen,

I think you ranges excel is a masterpiece but been trying to edit the macro buttons. How can this be done? Been searching everywhere...

Thanks

Hi there!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it!

I believe you should unprotect the sheet first. The password to do so is BD86tJzZ. Then you should find the button called Macros. I believe it's among the tab called Display or something like that (I have Microsoft Office in Croatian).

Most of the macros are assigned to buttons, but some of them are just used by macros that are assigned to buttons. I hope you'll manage to figure it out!

I think 888 is just a mini version of stars where everything is a bit more stupid
Traffic is lower, software isn't as good, no HUD at snap, loyalty system is as confusing and bad..
Stars rakeback is stupid nowadays but honestly I think it is still one of the best rooms overall.

ej Alen stvarno inpresivno za nekog hrvata ovolko truda i vremena ulagat tako kvalitetno,znam da je proslo 10 godina i da vjerovatno ako i dalje igras poker ne igras 25nl, volio bi kad bi mogli malo popricat i bit u kontaktu ako i dalje naravno igras poker.

Is it possible for me to get the preflop range spreadsheet? Can somebody help a brother out?

Hi midosianturi
Welcome to PokerStrategy.com
I don't know what pre-flop spreadsheet you mean.

There are several you can find by following the links below.

Be sure to check out the free money offers and bonus offers.
Read the instructions carefully -- they usually apply to rooms where you don't already have an account.

What kind of games do you normally play?
Cash Games? Sit-and-Go? MTTs?
Do you just play Hold'em or do you play any other variants?

If you're totally new to poker, I recommend reading our No Limit Hold'em lessons overview articles first.
That article leads you through the basics and beyond.
It is even recommended if you've played a while ♠_biggrin:

If you have any questions, just post them in the Q&A forum.

All the best,
VS
