Played my C game last night and results show it. Cannot really afford many sessions playing like this!
Playing when tired or "for the sake of it" has always been my downfall so I need to learn to avoid this from now on!
Gotta review the games before firing any today. Will see how the day pans out and go from there!
GL for the challenge

Hey there, that is the plan! I should probably just 2 table for now and as you say master the basics. Coming from a tournament background I'm probably still playing a lot looser than I should.
If you go to this link and click the follow button (assuming you have a Twitch account) and enable notifications you should get an email/push notification when I go live!
You can also join my discord channel where I generally give notice when I am about to go live also or there is also my Twitter too, generally give notice there!
All the best!

Do say hi in the chat 
Gave bit of feedback in hand analyze area. Especially KQ hand from BB shows huge leak in your game if you consider folding versus minraise.
Good luck in the challenge! This will be a huge accomplishment when you pull it off

Will do a proper update on Wednesday after week one is concluded but I can confirm that I haven't gone broke yet although at one stage my bankroll was in a precarious state!
Just completed tonight's session, only 9 games but after spending some time in the morning going over hands it became apparent that I am playing too passively when there is 4-6 players left so I wanted to work on that a little with less tables. I may have been a little over enthusiastic this evening but will take a look and see what I can find

Thanks man. What is the best way to practice re-jam spots like the KQo hand?
Didn't mean it quite like that. Point is that calling KQ is still lot better than folding to minraise. I would recommend HRC for those reshove spots. It has free trial I think and in general if possible using some money outside of bankroll for license is definitely good option.
For hands used in reshove you want to have either some raw equity (e.g. small pair), some blocker value (e.g. Ax) or combination of those (e.g. KQo, QJs, AJ). So obviously small pair have no blocker value versus open raiser calling range but combined with some fold equity they are often good enough with their equity versus whole calling range. Ax will have higher FE but when called some small to medium Ax are more often dominated. Which is why weak to medium Axo are often not that great. Being suited gives few more percent in equity to support blocker value. Then those good broadways are going to have blocker versus strong Ax, KJ+ and big pockets and nice equity versus some of calling range.
But you definitely want to keep in mind option of calling preflop when in BB with sort of shallow stacks. Stack like 10bb definitely have space to call versus minraise with hand that has good flop playability. Of course depends on game situation also. Like in bubble you might want to preserve stack lead versus smaller stack by folding bit more. Also possible postflop ICM pressure is something to consider. Especially as clear second stack and so on.
Good to hear, yr not broke yet 😉 keep up the good Work and Things will come around👍
Week one update!
Week one has been resigned to the history books. It was a fascinating week, filled with lots of study time, going over hands, seeking advice in Skype and here on the forum and of course playing games and I streamed on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
At this stage I think I've only threatened to quit about ten times... maybe eleven? These games are swingy, variance-laden fother-muckers and with going back to basics I'm doubting myself quite a bit which makes it tougher I suppose.
Anyways... less of the drivel and some pretty stats for you instead!
Starting bankroll: $23.52
Current bankroll: $9.65
Profit/Loss: -$13.87
Games: 80
ROI: -15.76
ITM: 33.8
1st: 6
2nd: 13
3rd: 8
4th: 10
The number of firsts is worrying right? I guess we'll know more in the future as I get more games in!
80 games of course is a mere drop in the ocean, it doesn't paint much of a picture at this point so I guess the best thing to do is to keep going, keep regging, keep studying, keep posting hands and let the variance look after itself!
Will be streaming tonightat 8pm Irish Time or 9pm CET if you wish. Will be playing the Thursday Bounty and SNGs besides.
Let's hope for a better week 2?!!!
GL us!
Fingers crossed, that yr luck Will change. Otherwise you will end up playing bridge with a certain math professor when you go broke - that should motivate You🤗

Ha ha, fingers crossed it won't come to that!
A tale of two misclicks!
Last night seen the return of my weekly stream. I am still having mouse issues which is proving tilting as fuck!
So I start loading some tables, and next thing I see a 10 max table and I'm thinking WTF is going on here... I look and see that it's a $1.10 Double or Nothing SNG that I've misclicked into instead of my usual 9 man Turbo!
Second misclick was due to the afore mentioned mouse when I was on the bubble and facing on open jam from either CO or BU. I want to fold my J3s but instead my mouse wants to call. We see 88 from villain but we flop a Jack to send him to the rails and launch us to ITM and go on to win!
Small loss on the session though over 12 games (not counting the $1.10 DoN)
It´s not the mouse, I use to misclick too, it´s because the tournament list on Party is constantly moving up and down. Annoying!
There is no filter available for lobby? Only keep games listed you want to play if possible. So no other formats and no other buyins either. Wont have BRM disaster by regging big games
