Crushing Private Games
Hello, 2+2 Community!
Greetings! I'm a 24-year-old poker player based in Eastern Europe. For a little over three years now, I have been deeply immersed in the world of poker. Throughout this journey, I have spent countless hours grinding on various mainstream poker platforms, primarily GG Poker and PokerStars. My experience spans different stakes, but I was particularly active as a regular in the 50-100NL games on both sites, where I encountered a mix of outcomes.
During these past few years, I tried becoming a pro athlete. However, after some reflection, I realized that this wasn't the right path for me. Consequently, I made the conscious decision to shift my focus entirely toward honing my skills and playing solid, strategic poker. I am always eager to embrace new challenges, and I firmly believe that the current opportunity IÂ’ve encountered is a rare one, perhaps one in a thousand. For this reason, I am dedicating myself fully to grinding these app-based poker games, where I plan to play at the 100-200NL stakes.
As long as these games continue to offer the value they currently do, I plan to dedicate a substantial amount of time to playing them. My goal is to maximize the volume of hands I play and take full advantage of the opportunities presented. I also intend to share my progress with you all by posting updates on my results approximately every two weeks.
The last 2 weeks of my grind. I made a lot of mistakes in this sample because I traveled for 1 month before this and I was rusty 😀. My strategy is mostly based on MDA exploits combined with some GTO in some lines where I feel like MDA might be off or if I am facing an atypical player.
I wish you guys all the best and go get that BAG😀.

Best of luck at the tables, and may you achieve great success in your poker journey.
We look forward to your updates!
Hi, guys!
This week has been unremarkable; the volume was quite low compared to last week, and I only managed to put in 2.4k hands. We still won a decent amount, but my agent told me he would get me in higher-volume clubs that I could play all day. I am looking forward to this and I hope I will be able to crush those as well.
Hello, guys!
These are the results of my month. The volume was ok, I am still waiting on more clubs that will increase the volume quite drastically.
In terms of my gameplay, I think I played decent. I still have to fix some leaks in my game like 3bet pots OOP, and be a little more focused when playing. I tend to sometimes lose focus and make some mistakes because of this.
be careful with these app games man. even a 1% chance of getting trimmed for all the money you have on-site can seriously affect your results in EV.
keep as little on the sites as possible, can never be sure the money is safe
I usually keep around 10BI on the clubs, I was scammed before so I am really careful with who I work with as my agent and what clubs I play.
This week went super well. The games are getting better since the summer is over. I missed the weekend, though, because I was at a wedding. I am happy with how I played and look forward to the next few weeks.
This week I should get another club with a lot of volume where I will get 50% RB. My goal will still be to put in as much volume as possible. I tink I will be able to get at least 50k hands a month if I am home for the weekends.
Oh I forgot to say that the win rate is 16bb/100 for this week.
This week the volume is improving because I managed to get the club I told you about. This club has quite a high rake but I atm I get 50% rb, probably in 3-4 months I will manage to get a better deal for like 60% rb. On this club, I ran quite badly this week around 8bi under ev but with all of this, I managed to have a wr.
Profit after RB: ~800$
Hi, guys!
I am back with my monthly results:
I am quite happy with my performance last month. I had a week of bad run being 13 BI under EV on one of the clubs but the other held my wr together. During that week I tilled a bit because I had some crazy bad luck but I managed to bounce right back after putting it all in perspective and realizing that I am a winner in these games and that I will start to run decent at some point and I just had to keep a positive attitude.
For next month I want to get roughly 50k hands and improve my win rate by a bit. I can beat these games at a higher win rate if I play my A game more. I know my B game is a winner here as well and that is really good but I want to make sure I get as much A-game time as possible.
Hands : 42K
Profit: 4.8k USD
Win Rate: 7.6bb
What stakes are you playing? 20NL?
Best of luck at the tables. Subbed.
Edit: I thought your win rate was $474 not 4.4k obviously not 20NL ... but yeah, what stakes? 200NL, 500NL?
Mostly 200 NL. I am filling my table limit with 100NL if I don't find enough. I want to grow my br in order to play 500NL by the end of this year.
