Heyyyy
Welcome to my new challenge thread. Where an NL10 grinder attempts to final beat NL10. I've previously played over 100k hands at this limit, probably more around 200k now and broke even / slightly lost.
This did demotivate me. But i need to stop being a bitch and grind it out (like a real man).

So i've started playing again, starting with a WHOPPING....

So far:

So slightly losing. I'm not sure why..

This article kinda spurred me on to get back in it (don't ask why). It's about autopilot. I found it an interesting read, if you fancy it: https://www.bestpokercoaching.com/fine-tuning-autopilot/ (credit to w34z3l).

Currently goal is rakeback, want to hit some of the spin the wheel promos for grinding. Would absolutely love to be moving up to NL25 and actually make cashbankmoney but still feel i've got a long road ahead of me.

May drop a few streams at some stage. :f_drink:

The month so far . .
One might say it's not going too well,....

However,.. i don't feel demotivated. I really am starting to not give a flying eff (F) about results right now and i think in the long term 20k hands will be nothing.
Thing that is motivating me is the wheel,.... although i may end up with an unflattering 6$. But i'm almost there and will post the result of the spin (for those high stake gamblers out there)..

So i'm at the bottom of the barrel. But the only way is up!! Cheers!!

Have you tried MTTs?
And if you like the "freedom" cash games provide, have you tried Battle Royales?
Seems like with just a little studying, a breakeven NL10 player would demolish those games. :f_thumbsup:

Heyy,
i haven't! i did play some years ago (maybe 5 or so) but never committed to them. I feel like im too deep into cash games to back out now... My whole strat revolves around exploiting the zoom pools (currently on GG) and ive put alot of time into this already. So i'm going to try and see it through and give it a good go before veering off in other directions :f_drink:
