I am running good!

My last ~33k hands. BR is at $75. Jan and beginning of Feb was tough, running almost 10 stacks under all-in EV.
However, I feel so much more confident on NL2 now, compared to when I started this blog.
Don't want to declare victory quite yet, though.

Let's see what the next 30k hands bring 💪🏻
Thanks for all the support ❤️

sooo smooth.

3500 bb / 33k hands is a heck of a win-rate... Declare Victory!!!

Are you planning on taking some stabs at NL5 soon?

Whatever you decide to do, whether that is to keep playing NL2 or moving up to NL5, do what is right for you. Don't move up because you feel that is what you are supposed to do. Do what you think is the most fun and enjoyable for you. Success is what you define it to be.

Best of luck!

Nice ! May the upswing be with you

When will you try NL5 ?

My plan is to move up to NL5 when I have a BR of $100 and move down when I drop below $80. But yeah, I will do what feels right, nothing is carved in stone.

Good to see another fighter! Good luck at the tables and have fun whatever you will do!

Here are my results since the last time I posted results. Not a huge sample size. (BR ~$78)

I f*cking did it!

I hit the $100 bankroll and I declare victory for beating $2NL, right now! 💪🏻

The graph contains all hands I played since Aug 2020 (last time I deposited $20), without some $50NL hands from a very juicy (and for me profitable) home game.

Now I will think about what's next. Maybe try $5NL. Study new material (just bought "The Grinders Manual" by Pete Clarke who seems to be an amazing coach). I would be really excited to take some coaching lessons, actually... We'll see. 😊

Anyway, thanks for all the support that I got here. This was really amazing! 🙏🏻

Congratulations!

Onward and upward!

Congratz! It's nice to see that you have overcome all the challenges and catch all those fishes
Good luck with your next progress!

First change, that I'll implement in my process: Time tracking.
I am going to track the time that I spend with poker with a tool (toggl.com).
Mainly that way I can measure my study/play ratio better and maybe improve it, or at least be conscious about it, and base decisions on actual metrics.

Congratz

As you know i just started Nl5 so i'l " race " you to 10 k hands and we can change opinions after that :f_biggrin:.

Gonna keep and eye on the challenge

I like using Toggl so far. Here is my first report from last week:

My goals for this week:
- Sleep 7 hours on average. (My average over the last couple of weeks was ~6:30h)
- Increase study time

You should add : Increase play time also.
Only 1:30 last week you are more lazy than me
