Welcome to my challenge

A little bit about myself

My name is Craig, I am 26, I am from England and I am a builder. That's pretty much all im going to say :f_biggrin:

My poker story

I have been playing poker on and off since 2010, over the course of the last 6 months, I have become a lot better at the game and I feel my goal as a playing poker as a career is looking promising, I have so much love for the game, I am constantly striving to improve away from the table's.

Game of choice

6max deep, with ante's on PokerStars.
I always sit with 100bbs and try to increase my stack as much as I can, so hopefully ill be able to post up some very interesting deep situations, and a little about my thoughts on the hand.

About my challenge

Ok to the point, my challenge. When I started playing again about 6 month's ago, I have played around 110k hands, here is the graph and results for first 60k hands, I played.

As you can see I was down about $150, I haven't had to make another deposit because, I accumulated enough money in Rakeback and deposit bonus's, so I remained always around the same :f_biggrin:

Here is the results from the last 50k hands and the results from my last challenge.

Progress 50,396/50,000
Win/loss rate +2bb/100
Starting bankroll $127
Bankroll $235

I have completed this challenge with a 2bb/100 win rate :f_thumbsup:. Saying that has seriously just boosted my confidence in the work I am putting in away from the table, I must be doing something right. I have had some major ups and downs where tilt is concerned, i haven't really experienced good or bad luck, I have felt that it has been neutral, with many mistakes, if anything i would say I've had more good luck.

My game is much improved from when I started my last challenge, and I believe I can beat my current win rate with a much higher bb/100

So my challenge again is to simply play another 50k hands and aim to beat my winrate.

Why am I doing this challenge again?

The answer to this question is, I wasn't very active on my last challenge, witch I will change with this one, I will keep it simple by posting up graphs and the top 2 biggest wins/loss's of a session and crazy hands. Again to the question :f_biggrin:. I am hoping taking this challenge and staying active will help me play better and keep me motivated to beat my win rate, and help me control tilt, since I am going to try and "if I tilt I am not going to beat my win rate"

We will see how it goes.

Any if you got this far, thank you for reading and goodluck :f_thumbsup:

I get this hand against him and decide to let him bluff, my plan was to check back call the turn and the river but he wasn't actually a maniac, he was a CS he just had an act of random aggression the very fist hand he played witch is above in the spoiler, i should of just bet/fold vs this player, i did unnote him as a maniac though

My play has been a bit poor for the last few days, mainly due to heavy drinking and tiredness at least that's why I believe.

Here are some hands and graph

Hello vonki,

Welcome to my challenge, hopefully I can show you some nice graphs and good hands :f_thumbsup:.

The last week playing poker, i have played really poorly, i believe its something to do with hand reading, value to bluff range and the funnel principle, so i have changed my revision to work on these area's.

I haven't had much time to play poker recently, I have set myself up a routine, that is based around work, i only get 1-2 hours a day to play poker now,I fell asleep last night while playing :f_biggrin:, i have noticed the time i am playing is more quality, rather then falling into that autopilot trap and tilting. Anyway i think its time for a overall recap.

Why did I make this bluff? I never used to make bluffs like this, in fact I never used to bluff at all other then the cbet, this seems to be one of those bad habbits I have picked up along the way, this cost me 160bb, I want to get this expensive mistake out of my game

This is why I believe most of my mistakes are linked to handreading, my thoughts were when I shoved, I want to get my opponent of a flushdraw, when in reality his hand is more like jx or 5x

Well this sucked :f_biggrin:

I would normally call on the river in this spot, but AA, KK, AQ, AJ and some smaller flush's made sense here, the only hand I could see beating me was QQ JJ A5 and A4 of :diamond: I didn't not have this guy for 3betting suited :Ax: from SB, based on this I figured a shove is ok since there is quite a lot of hands I beat and hes never folding any of his range because he's pot committed

For some reason every time I do a weekly recap, (its the same when I do it for the bankroll challenge) my session immediately after seems to be very poor followed by some tilt shoves, this seems to be a pattern. Strange!

Here is some bad luck the first hand happened at the start of this session, it threw me off my game a bit, i controlled my emotions well, and remained focussed, i guess i have some mental game problems regarding suckouts
