Back at it-50 to 1000 $ challenge

1st Update!!!
After 5k hands things are pretyy much as smooth as expected...people just throw money.I just hope i don`t have a bad run so i get out of here asap....just fold fold fold raise pot pot shove...pretty much the tactic
Graph:

This is one of the many funny hands i had...I don`t cbet with that amount of equity on the flop,especially against a calling station.The turn though brings me equity and also brings a scare care for hes small pairs and maybe sometimes he throws away an ace.Sizing...well 1/2,/3/4 or 1/1 would have the same effect on hes range so i guess i go with the ceapest option.River...SnapJam ♦

Thanks guys, playn` poker without discussing about it its like having Gal Gadot as a girlfriend but beein` unable to see her face The poker community is one of the reasons why i decided to get back to poker as a mental exercise at the least.
Now regarding the challenge,i have reached 10k hands and i can draw a few conclusions about my game:
1.Be a bit tighter preflop. Even though there are a lot of situations when completing or calling a minraise for a mway pot with some 58s or 89o garbage oop seems juicy,there is 0 fold equity when you bet the draw so the only way i make profit is if i actually make a flush or a straight.No fold equity with those marginal hands means i cannot make a profit due to the fact that i dont hit often enough.And even when i hit i sometimes get it in against a better
flush/straigh so untill i develop better handreading u will increase the amount of folds preflop with marginal drawy hands.

2.Tighten the cold call range against utg, mp and co from the sb and increase the value 3betting range against the bu.I seem to lose a bit too much from the sb and i wanna adjust that,because i have a decent postflop game oop but if my range is weak i cant really do much if i flat too wide,sometimes mway.

3.STOP PLAYN PLO.It`s not that i`m losing,i`m actually winning a bit but i just don`t need the tilt.

My graph after 10k hands :

I ran like crap the last 5k hands,too many hero folds to count,but the important thing is that i hit the correct buttons and still made some profit on top of the bad variance.I`m probably gonna be away from poker untill the 8th of august due to a huge workload.I don`t want to play when i`m tired,i know where that leads.I`ll be back when the work ordeal is done.

Until then good luck everyone and don`t forget:the fold button prints money

Guess who`s back ♦

After a month of working 16h a day 6 days a week i finally managed to play some poker. And i was fun and profitable ♦ . I continued the grind at nl 4 and i played a 500 euro gtd 6max rebuy almost daily.I only invested the initial BI and the Addon,2 euros a day thrown in a fish infested tournament seemed like a decent bet.No later than day 3 i make a hit and my br sits @ 22 BI at nl 10. The itch is real,i open a few tables,2-3 fish at every table,i gotta take a shot.I also get a 20 euros cash ticket idk from where but i use it to gamble at 20nl . This is pretty much the story of the past 10 days :

And a funny hand against a "reg" ...:

Hi Adrian! Wish you the best of luck in this challenge!

I have a cuestion, why did you donk on the flop of the 75s one? Are you considering the middle pair and the 2 backdoors (FD and SD)?

Hello Mompacha! Thanks ,i wish you good luck aswell.
Regarding the hand,against the range of the bu 2x open i have to protect my equity due to beeing a 3way pot.The sb is a loose fish so hes range there is atc so an extra reason to bet for protection.The whole idea is i want to either win the hand right there or take it heads-up because there are many turns that can allow me to barrel.I donk in that spot with a lot of hands,FD,TP,2ndp+bds,OESD,sets,2p.Even though im not really looking for balance at nl 10 or 20 u cant just x/c or x/f ur range imo.

Nice nice! Interesting thought line, i agree with the movement due to the loose fish, but i never consider to "protect my equity" against the reg. Really great explanation imo, i should add this movement to my owns and see what happens

Thx, regards!

That’s a nice hand for sure. How is everything going with your challenge the last couple of weeks?

Cheers,
