From NL25 to the top

Hey everyone,

I'm Wolfgang, a 19yo college student in Canada, mainly playing NL25 R&C on GG.

A bit about me:
I play tennis
I like running
I like punting off :(

I mostly have experience playing live, and played live 1/2 and 1/3, profiting 9k over 600 hours before shot-taking a juicy 5/10 game and dusting 5k in one night.(F tier brm lol).

I want to become a better theoretical player, and I think starting from the micros online is the way to do it, results here


Slightly winning post-rake(1.6/100), but a tiny sample so who knows.

My goals:
Short Term: Play at least 50k more hands before the New year while maintaining at least a 1-1 study-play ratio.
Long term: Join a CFP like Guerilla or Bitb

The routine I have developed is as follows:
Pre-session: Turn off phone, close all other tabs except a google doc and play 2 tables of zoom or 8 tables regular at a time max.
Mid-session: Note on doc quickly when I am not sure of a spot, about 1/3 hands I play.
Study: Import hands into GTO wiz and go over all the hands I marked, I usually will do this in blocks throughout the day as some hands take a while to understand. (solvers are creative af)
If I finish all my hands and don't feel like playing, I've been watching the streams of the show tables from the last CGWC and going over some of those hands, now that it's running again I have more stuff to watch yay. All those guys are sick, especially llama, beppe, and deki.

My online roll currently sits at 1100, but can deposit more money if I think I am ready to move up as GG rake in the micros is ****ed.

I'll be dropping some updates here, probably every week or so with some cool HH.

If anyone has any advice/tips, let me know!

If anyone is looking for a study partner/just wanna chat/ anything, my discord is TimBiebs

Update 1

Been busy with school and finals so haven't had as much time as I would like for poker, but am just about done with finals and can start grinding.

Switched over to ACR and Pokerstars zoom tables, and started to use hand2note.

Hands played: 11.4k
Result EV $: $239
Result EV BB/100: 6.8
(mix of mainly 25nl with a bit of 50)


hand im curious about:


Dont mind raising flop but call is fine. I think 25nl reg is probably barreling all A10+ and not protecting checking range with enough KK,AA, etc. Low pockets are also probably checking too much, so I think attacking that is good, but 98hh still pure checking despite my copium nodelocks lol. I see that the 9 and 8 are bad blockers, but I dont think we ever get raised off our equity in this spot, and I think its a good hand to follow through on river since we are pretty low on bluffs . Where/how am I retarted?



50nl graph first 10k hands, gonna try and play a lot this week.

Also, looking for a study partner playing the same 50nl zoom pool on stars.
