New beginning, new challenges, new motivation
Hello, I want to start a blog for organizational reasons, I feel like I need some motivation and follow-up, especially with the volume of play. I have tried doing it elsewhere like on Discord, but I felt that since I had known people for a long time, I was afraid of publishing questionable hands or negative graphics, here I don't really know anyone so I think I won't feel pressured at all. .
I'm currently playing NL25 on Bodog for expense reasons, but I think my level is probably more like NL200.
As I said, it is difficult for me to make volume but in any case I also consider that my game is more conscious, I prefer to play smarter at fewer tables and therefore play less volume, I think the ideal would be to play 6 hours a day at 4 tables at least to For me, it is difficult for me to exceed 3-4 hours, I love to study a lot, whether by watching videos or analyzing hands and that consumes me too much.
I have played previously at GGpoker playing about 400k hands at almost breakeven which is not bad at all considering that the rake there is easily 13-14bb and playing many tables. And I know I could have earned more if I hadn't been tilted 70% of the days hehe.
I went from NL2 to NL25 quite quickly, and the truth is I have been quite lazy with the volume also because I live in Argentina and where it was relatively easy if you earn in dollars
I think that in bodog I can be winning at 8bb/100 at NL25-50 playing 5-6 hours a day at 4 tables if I don't run badly.
My goal is to reach 30k-35k hands per month for now at least. As I say, I always feel pressured, especially when things go wrong when it comes to publishing, but I think that since no one here knows me I won't feel it as such.

There is still a lot to play today but this hand came up versus a "regular" which I wasn't sure if it was, due to the dynamics I had to play my 9x this way (he probably doesn't have any strong hands played like this on the flop), the strange thing was his call. I admit that shove on river it is quite closed
