I am 30s years old guy, currently working every weekdays. I start blogging here for my journey of grinding. I hope this blog can last longer. :)

My friend transferred $50 to me recently in pokerstars. So I will be playing NL2. I hope to hit at least midstake.

I will start with microstake goal/preparation first. And I'll post weekly (From beginning Monday to end Sunday) graph here.

[Micro stake on 1 July 2011]
My bankroll management:
25bi for NL2 to NL10

[√] Reach NL5 by 4th week of July. (Completed on 2nd week of July - 9 July)
[√] Reach NL10 by 1st week of September. (Completed on 3rd week of July - 15 July)
[ ] Have enough bankroll for NL25 by 3rd week of October.

Good luck to me!

NIce graph - good start mate! Will follow with interest! :)


Thanks, AKM247!


Just now, I analyze my hand. Found out that 3rd seat in Full Ring after big blind is UTG? I thought it is first MP.

Is it MP or UTG? ?(

Very nice and very inspiring. hope to see you continue you move up.

Almost in the same boat as you but can't put in as much volume as I see you put in.

How many tables to you usually play per session?


Thanks, TeddyTaiwan.

Around 10-16 tables, depending on flop %. If alot of tables with higher average pot and flop %, then i can play more than 16 tables.

But I think 8-10 tables may give the highest winrate. I guess only. :)

It's better to stick with your usual no. of tables because you are comfortable with it already.


9 July is when I start with NL5 after I completed NL2.

Here is a graph of second week of July for NL5 (9 and 10 July)

At first, I got alot of bad beats and coolers like:
- AA vs 55 on 5AX5X
- KK vs 99 on K9XX9
- KK vs AA few times
- AA vs QQ on QXXXX in 3bet pot.
- AK vs KK
- T9s vs T9s on 678. Shove on flop and he hit flush on turn.

Luckily, I managed to make myself not to get big downswing. =)

Depends on software/room I think. Some do x3 UTG some do x2 :)

How's the grind going lid? :)

Nothing wrong to play few tables as long as you are comfortable is good enough already! :P
