Hi again. This week has been great. I found time to play and I like the result. At first there was tension, but everything passed.
On a personal plan, things are fine. There were situations, but everything went well.
Here is the result.
Good luck at the tables!

I don't have specific information about short stack players. The reason for this is that they do not stay on the table for a long time.
He man, how are you doing?
Id like to share my opinion if you mind. Hand 1 not much to say...
hand 2 I think you just got lucky, I mean what are you doing? Or trying to do? I like your preflop sizing, but then postflop... If he didnt have 2pair then what, turn goes x-x and there you are on the river with more than pot behind. I prefer betting out OTF myself, you want to bluff there too right? So just bet yourself, you can play this way with 1pair hands, no need to "trap" this one...
hand 3 have no strong opinion either, I am not sure how leading out performs, but once you did and get shoved on Id call it off too
hand 4 cba solving puzzle with no pics 
hand 5 - firstly get fullstack yourself, secondly other guy is shortie but has bunch of chips himself so I would 3bet bigger, 10bbs here. And then you have weird betting scheme, not sure what is your plan? Bigger flop and shove turn sounds viable to me (or even in your case, just shove turn, its roughly 1,5x pot, he folds better like 89, 77 and you protect yourself getting bluffed - here if he happened to have QJ lets say, you check river he shoves you fold...). Check/raise flop seems viable too, betting small to bet/shove or bet bet bet seems like an option to me as well. As played I think good give up tho but I wouldnt be in this spot in a first place
Try to post hands with your thoughts behind, that usually works better for discussion, I want to know what were/are you thinking
Hi N3bojsa,
I will take into account what you said next time I post hands. Thanks for the comment.
Hello poker strategists,
It's been 15 weeks since the challenge started. The goal has not yet been reached. As well as I haven't had time to play lately. I will make a brief conclusion of what has happened so far.
1. As a first attempt in several years, I am happy that I did not lose the bank.
2. The volume of hands does not satisfy me. I'll have a hard time improving this but I'll try.
3. WTSD% 25.7 and W$SD% 47.1. I think there is a need to improve this result. But how? That's the question 
Maybe VPIP 16.6 and PFR 11.5 are too different.
I thinк to close this NL10 challenge as not successful and starting a new one. With better motivation and a smaller goal.
The next Challenge will be:
Starting Bankroll : 250$
Full ring tables
NL25
Goal : 700$
Duration: maximum 10 weeks
Starting date: 16/09/24
I will give weekly updates on what's going on. Wish you good luck at the tables!
Hello,
2 weeks have passed since the start of the new challenge. Lots of hands and little money 
:D I definitely need to change something in my game.
Next week I will pay attention to mine mistakes and omissions and I will try to improve my game.
The result follows:
Between 16 - 22.09
Between 23 29.09
Wish you good luck and have fun!
I’m planning to start again with a new challenge on the tables in PokerStars.
The next Challenge will be:
Starting Bankroll : 230$
Full ring tables
NL10, NL25
Goal : 700$
Starting date: 12/10/2025
I will give weekly updates on what's going on. Wish you good luck at the tables!

Hey guys, the first week of my new challenge is done! Time to share some graphs and results.
Started well, but finished poorly...Hopefully next week will be better.
GL & HF at the tables!

Your graph looks healthy.
Are you playing 6-max, or full ring? Standard speed or fast-fold?
Check your holdem manager reports for your steal percentage — especially from the button and small blind.

I play full ring with regular speed.
OK cool.
It is a long time since I played full-ring.
Check to see what recommended squeeze percentages are for your stake at full-ring tables. Those numbers seem low.
Cheers,

Hello guys,
Week 2 of my new challenge was a complete disaster with zero hands played. My daughter and my wife were sick, and my time was full of tasks and confusion.
I hope next week goes better.
