Wow it's been a while.. I was a bit lazy on the summer ( I played 2700 games in August, with 1.7k profit), but I want to work hard in September. So I'm doing a both profit and volume challenge. My br is tiny again, I'm on the edge of the $30 limit (I have to win 20 buyin @ $15). So the challenge is :
3600 hyper-turbo HU in the next 30 days
2500$ profit with bonuses
I think the volume part can be tough (I never played more than 3k game in one month imo), and the profit part can easily be ruined in just a few days. So it will be hard! If I can do the challenge. I'll finish decorating my apartment, and buy a completely useless expensive stuff for myself! I'll update my blog weekly, if I won't forget.
The last graph shows the amount of $ I won, because I could move up to the $15s. Hurray! So the final graph about the week :
54 buyins! I'm very proud, especially for the last day. I was grinding 'till 5 AM, but it felt great to get up from my laptop finally, with very good results. This week will be a lighter week, but I'm planning something for the next one!
I have to play 180 game today and tomorrow to complete the challenge, I think it will work. Results are very good, I'm almost back to the $15s. I'm trying to withdraw less money in August, in order to climb back to the higher stakes. Well, I don't have to hurry that much, FTP is on the way :P
I played 86 games on Monday, 140 on Tuesday, and 150 yesterday, so I'm 53 games behind my goal ( i have to play 143 HU a day). The results could be better ofc :
1st day
2nd day
3rd day
Oh, and I forgot to mention that these are $7s.. Yeah, my bankroll is in ruins, because the crushing downswing on $60-$30, and I had to withdraw a big amount of money. So the goal of this challenge to get back to the higher limits.
I saw the news about the Pokerstars-Fulltilt deal, and I'm very happy about it, I had more than 4k on FTP, plus I had tons of bonuses there. I hope that my Black membership and its buddies will be there when FTP opens.
So I've decided to make a little challenge. I'm going to play 1000 games this week (143/day) . It's fairly easy (well, i just played 80 games yesterday so..:P), even if I usually don't play this "much".
I'm going to try making decisions faster (we're talking about automatic/obvious decisions), and don't do anything else when grinding. Maybe listening to some chilling classical music. It is a very good idea imo to boost up my hourly+ROI a bit. I'll try to write every day to keep you u informed!
A lot of things happened to me since the last post, so it will be a bit longer post than the last few. First of all :
This is the graph of the last month, but it does not contain the last 500-600 games (I had to reinstall my windows, and some hh-s are missing). So I made more than 4000$ with bonuses in May.
This was the best month in my entire poker career, and I'm very proud of it. I reached the $60 limit very quickly. I was a bit nervous, and try to tableselect for the first 50-100 games, then I got comfortable with playing this stake. I'm avoiding regs of course, there are dozens of it!
Soo..that was May. Then things got worse :
To sum up, I had to move down to $30, then to $15... I'm grinding the $15s now with a very decent volume, but I have to play thousands of games to get back where I were. It's pretty depressing but hey.. we're talking about hyperturbo games.
I'm going to Italy with my family for a week, and I don't think that I'll play much (well I certainly will play a few games, it would be very strange to miss out a whole week :P ).
Pretty sick isn't it? I made more money in the last 9 days than I made in the whole April. As you can see, swings went bigger in the last games. The reason for it > they are $30s hypers ^^
Yes, I could finally go up a limit. It feels good man! I'll try to withdraw less money now, since I don't want to move down.
The $30s are as "hard" as the $15s so far. Of course I met a few pretty good regs too, but there are so many retards as well. My FPPs/VIP level (I'm a Goldstar right now) are increasing with a much higher rate (ty captain obv., that's because the rake is twice as high).
I've just checked the upper limit, and maaaan these are the $60s. That't not too good, because it means I can move up if I reach 3000$, instead of 2500$ (if the upper limit were $50, because I always move up if I reach 50 BI for the next limit, and down if I reach 35 BI). But of course I don't want to rush, because I don't know my true winrate at this level, since my last days were superupswingy.
I can't wait for Monday, since Veil of Maya is coming to Hungary with great bands like Structures, Volumes, and Vildhjarta (these are metal bands, if you're wondering). If you don't know Veil of Maya, check out this beauty :
