just play your normal A game and do not add more tables...

you could loose more than you get....

Keep it up and good luck

I agree adding more tables make the things harder. I played almost 2500 hands today but i got a bit unlucky 3 buy-ins under EV , I just have to play the same volume tomorrow after work to get the challenge done.

Thank you for steping by and good luck this week !

Remember that red/blue is somewhat of a tradeoff, but the all-important green line is going in the right direction

I'm not a zoom player but i always thought people play more agresive on zoom tables postflop, a lot of 3barrells and bluffs, so a higher red line.

Guess who can mantain a positive winrate playing 4 zoom tables + 4 regular tables ?
The madness it's over i cleared my challenge/rakeback and now i'm gonna go back and play only 4 normal tables, focusing more on my gameplay.

Got to 10.000 hands also mantaining a decent winrate at 22bb/100.

What platform are you on?

Pretty good rakeback you are getting considering the stakes!

Redline envy,really well done keep it up.

I'm having a bad week, the cards don't wanna help me out.
I think i'm playing my best game tho, great Vpip/Pfr best 3bet i had in a while and a great WWSF.
I still have 2 more days to turn things around.

This is the second hand of my session today :

Hold'em No Limit - €0.01/€0.02 - 6 players

UTG: €2.37 (119 bb)
MP: €2.00 (100 bb)
CO: €1.97 (99 bb)
BU: €2.40 (120 bb)
SB (Hero): €2.01 (101 bb)
BB: €3.05 (153 bb)

Pre-Flop: (€0.03) Hero is SB with 8♠ 8♦
UTG raises to €0.04, 3 players fold, Hero calls €0.03, 1 fold

Flop: (€0.10) 8♣ 5♣ 5♥ (2 players)

No reason to lead here or even raise, i will just check/call

Hero checks, UTG checks
Turn: (€0.10) A♦ (2 players)

This is a great card because if he has an A he will bet if not...this is a good card to bluff for him, so i'm gonna check/call or check/raise to build a pot.

Hero checks, UTG bets €0.02, Hero raises to €0.08, UTG calls €0.06
River: (€0.26) 6♣ (2 players)

It's time for me to stab him !

Hero bets €0.19, UTG raises to €1.40, Hero raises to €1.89 (all-in), UTG calls €0.49

Total pot: €4.04 (Rake: €0.20)

Showdown:
SB (Hero) shows 8♠ 8♦ (a full house, Eights full of Fives)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 82%, Flop: 4%, Turn: 2%, River: 0%)

UTG shows 5♦ 5♠ (four of a kind, Fives)
(Equity - Pre-Flop: 18%, Flop: 96%, Turn: 98%, River: 100%)

UTG wins €3.84

Nice start ♠_drink:

Will follow you, starting my own bankroll challenge after very long break.

Oh man, I hate it when that happens!

I got a bit unlucky this week a lot of bad setups and also the fishes had their lucky week
But is ok, things like this happens, even if you play good there are times when you will lose anyway. You just have to keep going !

Good luck everyone !

Hey, nice run the first week. I can't believe you started with 2.5 BIs

Success in your bankroll, I'll be following it from the shadows.

That's some going keep it up.

I got really lazy this last two weeks, this happens always when i start a challege like this. After a while i get bored and i start to play video games with my friends ( World Of Warcraft and League of Legends ) or i just spend all my free time on Netflix.

I will post my graph and the stats since i started the challenge :

Not that bad taking in to account i did no study and only used my past fish knowledge.
Next week maybe i will try to put some hours in to study also.

Good luck eeryone !

Good luck on your challenge! Already well on your way

He, you said you got really lazy in the last two weeks - but that was until you didn't play at all!
How is it going now?
