Playing daily on Stars, setting small goals

And I made the profit, including the cash outs during the hands I made $1.99 profit.
I d like to post a graph, i just don't know how to do that.

So I post some played hands:

Probably could fold river, or I have to pay every time?

Good luck with your challenge
I have moved it to our Successes and challenges board. There fits it better I think than on the PokerStars baord.

Okay, let's go with second challenge!

My second challenge is: Play 10x $1 Sit&Go and cash out for at least $2.50
I know I will be in the min with defined target, but I don't want to focus on money.

I d like to post a graph, i just don't know how to do that.

I see you have PokerTracker, so to post a graph:
 1: In PT4 find the graph you want to post, then size and configure it as you like
 2: Right-Click the graph, choose "Save As..."
 3: Give it a name, and select JPG or PNG as the file type. Make sure you remember the folder where you saved it.
 4: Navigate to the folder where you stored the graph image and drag-and-drop it into your forum post.

Hope that helps...

HI Vorpal,

Thanks to help, steps 1 to 3 I managed, I dont understand how to navigate because when it aks the url to place the image.
Thanks in advance!

When you save the graph, you save it to a folder on your computer.
Drag it from that folder into your post.
Here is a short video to demonstrate

Oke, go for the next challenge.

Challenge 4. Play 10x $1 Spin &Go and cash for at least $3.

Again it's not about money, winning os losing, more about focus.

Update on Challenge 4.

I played 10x $1 Spin &Gp and overal Im up $1. I cashed 3 times the $3 and 1x time $2.

Then I scored the chest and I won monday freerol 10K, not sure Im gonna play that one.

For today I prepared a real touhg one.

Challenge 5. Play 5 tournaments worth $0.55-$5.50 and end in top 100 in one of the tourneys.

Off course, the tourneys must have a large field, at least 2K players.

P.S. If you have any suggestions for daily challenges, let me know.

If you don't make top 100, do you play until you do?

I like the volume part of the goal, but putting an artificial performance requirement into the challenge may make you play incorrectly in some spots.
You might make a poor river call for example, trying too hard to get into the next ladder and so on.

If you have a tracker, perhaps you could set a goal that tends to fix one of your leaks (assuming you have some )
For example, perhaps you don't 3Bet enough, or fold to 3Bet too much.
You could set a goal to play until you had played 100 3Bet pots -- but of course you would need to play them properly.
That would make you look for the right spot to 3Bet or call the 3Bet.

Update on Challenge 5. It wasn't a success, I failed this one. I played 5 tourneys and I failed even to cash, I only earned 1 or 2 bounties.
Afterwards I decided to play 300 hands $25NL zoom (due to 20+ challenge of Stars). For people who are not familiair to challenge: earn points bij getting big hands on first 300 hands. Top 100 get paid, I had 3x times aces and 2x AK, 3x mid pairs and 1x time QQ, JJ and KK. My ranking was still 984 so I had no payment but I did cash through the game:

Beacus it wasn't planned before I will not put it as a challenge, not a "fair play"

For tonight I have 3 freerols:

So my challenge for tonight is:
Challenge 6. Play this free freerols and win something

Not an ambitious challenge, I know, but still some to win.

Thanks you Vorpal.

I wasn't planning to go on until i made top 100, only the first 5x toruneys. By setting this goal I wanted to prevent the feeling "fuck it, lets gamble" in the midden stage of the tourney.
The learning challenge is a good one, I would like to consider it, thanks for the splendid idea! Cheers

And we succeded, just for a small amount and we finished in the money at 20+ leader board freerol , cashed for $1,92 with no investment.
Then I played the 25Nl cash game and I was sitting on the crazy tabel. One of the crasiest hands was:
