todays work:
Grind 50 spins, watch my daily video, grind another 50 spins. (5 hours play, 1 hour video)
getting used to 2 tabling completely now.

today was the worst day i came across so far in my short spin time.
guess all "spinners" (this word is funny because it means something like "idiots" in german) have to get used to that stuff.

-60$ (20 buyins) in 100 spins with a chip ev of around 85 (sure not the best you can get on this low limits but still reasonable)

tomorrow we will go to the zoo so not that much time for grinding :) planned to sneak in 50 spins + my daily video for sure.

may you all have a great weekend

not sure what exactly happened today.
I felt unlucky because I ran with AA 3b pot in flopped trash 2 pair and stuff like that alot of the time today (or other coolers vs "underserved hands" (if i may call them like this)
My chip ev/tournament was at 0 for like forever and only went up in the last few games to around 38.
BUT! I ran super hot, won every flip (at least it felt like it) and made undeserved 30 buyins somehow (without big multipliers)

not sure If I can call this a good day. It rather call it a unlucky lucky day!

I think you have the same leak as me, checking chipEV too often ;)

My approach to the game feels good for the moment even tho the results don't show that yet.
Last few days I barly had positive chipev, so my general chipev at 3$ is dropping down every day.

I think chipev-wise I am just running bad (have alot of coolers atm) and my game is pretty decent.

Slowly but steady improving. spewing to many chips vs fit-or-folders (they seem to hit to much recently) tho.
Hopefully that will change soon. gotta get up my chipev the last few days of the month so I stand a chance to play in Gold-Team beginning Oktober.
This is not a "must have" since I still have plenty of room to improving and still alot of unwatched videos for the Silver Group :)

hit my first 25x multiplier at 3$ yesterday (after 800 spins) and manage to win it.
Also won a 6x where I went down to 30 chips in the first hand K9 vs K9 vs JT on JTQxT board. Felt like I won the wsop! I deserved this win :f_thumbsup:

money does not matter tho. I'd rather have lost both of them with a good chip ev ~.~

Since I am only playing spins for the first few weeks I have a question for more experienced spinners.
Am I correct to asume that I can give my 500 chips at the 3$ Spins a value of 2.82$? (3$-6%Rake)
So ignoring the multiplier fact if played 2 millions spins and am up 1k in chips should I have won 5.64$ (2 Buy-ins-rake?) (ignoring the multiple thousand dollars I should have thanks to huge rakeback at pokerstars)

is this way of thinking correct or wrong?

New Mission: Grind 1k spins on 3$ with applying new ranges.
Got acess to more Learning Materials while I was not able to make the jump into the goldgroup yet.

Mindset is great. work ethic is awesome (watching more videos than beofre. Going with a "20 spins => 1 Video" approach now (unless its at the end of the session)
also watching mental stuff while I am still at the top of my mental game. (think its smarter to learn about the mental game when you are happy. usually when you are already in a bad mental state those videos just hurt more)

Running bad (or have problems applying new ranges) with a chip ev of 45 for the first 135 spins.

Hopefully I can increase that over time or i might end up being stuck on the same limit for the complete month :O

Good luck & keep it up! 3$ is the first limit where you face some real "resistance" ;)

777 spins done of my 1k block.
My game improved alot and I kept also improving my mental game.
Not getting stucked to hardcore the last couple of days.

I do not want to post graphs yet as I dont want to spoil my Monthly recap :)

Mission for this week: Finish last 223 spins and keep the ev at the same lvl if possible!
Keep up with the 20=> Video approach, it does well for me.

Finaly got to keep reading "The Mental Game OF Poker", basicly reading every night before going to sleep.
The book finally hooked me again! Enjoy reading it!
I can smell the taste of gold already!!!
