Full Tilt Challenge 2014 (Eat, Sleep, Grind, Repeat)

Last years graph

So after my first month of my new challenge on full tilt poker this is how things look.

Things started very up and down but then around 10k hands I got going and was actually up $56 which put me $4 up at NL2 overall getting my losses from last year back however a run of bad luck followed by tilt the last two days of January I dropped $30 of my profits and finished up with just a $26 profit for the month and down $26 overall.

I suppose at the start of the month I would have been happy to get back half my losses but im really disappointed about what happen those last two days.

Overall graph as it stands.

Today is the start of a new month and its time to put those last two days behind me and focus on turning those $26 losses into $25 profit then I will be ready for NL5 by the start of March or hopefully before.

Hey Maloco

Hope you don't mind me giving my 2cents worth. Don't be in too much of a hurry. You are putting too much pressure on your self.
Just enjoy playing and learning as you go. Even at NL2 there is a lot to learn about playing cash even though it can test your sanity at times.
Trying to play tournies and cash at the same time is probably not helping.
While it's great to have goals, they need to be realistic.

Good luck

thanks

I am not playing tourneys however and I wont be unless I play on stars maybe once a week. My sole focus is to get to my target at NL2 and move up to NL5 and im confident I will do that if I continue the way i am, I just got really fustrated those last two days and dropped more buy in's than I really should have. Im back to playing better today and won 4 BI today so far.

Check in on this thread if you like and we can talk about what im doing and give me your advice if your interested.

Ok so like I said the last two days in January were really bad but I had to get back on track this month. I have done well in the 10 days from 12 ive played this month and have reached my NL2 target of $25 profit.

I know that $25 profit from NL2 over 47k hands isnt as you say beating NL2 but it feels like having got there from a $52 loss. I know have just over $121 and am ready to grind NL5.

Here are some graphs:

February up to the 12th

This year up to the 12 feb

And my overall graph from 2013 until the 12th feb

Just a little update on whats going on with my challenge.

I started playing NL5 in the middle of February and it started off well, however things got bad and then they got worse. I was on the wrong end of too many coolers, rivers and bad beats which now sees me down $76 at NL5. I am back playing NL2 with the plan of getting my bankroll back to a suitable amount to take on NL5 again. Maybe I'll be in a better mind set when I get back.

Here's a look at my graphs.

February

This year by end of Feb

2013 - Feb 2014

As you will see from my graphs i played very little poker for the month of March... well online anyway, i did quite well in live tourneys this month.

What I did play on full Tilt was NL2 like I said I had a bad run at NL5 and had to move back down to NL2, I lost a little bit but im not too bothered as I really didnt put much effort in this month. I really need to re-focus and build my bankroll up again through NL2 and take another shot at NL5 with the goal of being an NL10 reg by the end of September.

March

I think you understood that you need study more.. if you are not beating NL2
