1k to 10K online Cash challenge - GG

Hi I have been wanting to do a challenge for a wile now to help with motivation and keep me focused on a goal. My challenge will be to turn 1k into 10K asap. All rakeback and bonuses will be included

My main game to start will be 50nl and I will be 4 tabling max

I am to play at least 2 hours a day and try to study as much as a play

I think the most important factors that will make or break the challenge are mental game, avoiding punting you know the triple barrels vs a recreational who would rather die than be bluffed. Table selection will be important as most of your profit comes from rec's or weaker regs.

Aim to update the thread as often as I can. Wish me luck!

Biggest loser and a regular spot the I struggle with. vs a weaker tight reg, on one hand it seems like terrible board for oop to bluff into on the other hand i only need 25% equity to call. Calling in these spots to lose 3/4 of the time never feels nice, against some of the more aggro punty type its easy to find the call

Day 1 Graph


My mental game needs some serious work so going to limit session time to 45 min then check in with myself if OK carry on for 45m then Quit.

Hand 1 These punts will kill my chances of ever completing the challenge, especially with the GG rake being so high. The hand was against a bad reg, I misclick check the flop as meant to Cbet with BD spades. once the turn checks through Im not sure what im thinking I even have SD value on the River, absolute punt

Hand 2 Vs Fish tempting to raise the flop or turn but you just have to close your eyes and let these guys blast off, feels gross when they show up with a Flush or Jack but best to keep all there bluffs and merges like this in.

Have been thinking abut the effect of rest on quality of my play and its become quite clear that I dont play as well when im Tired, Im much more likely to tilt aswell. Played a session this morning after a good rest last night and my thoughts seemed much clearer and i never felt any tinges of frustration that usually means im tilting.

The games where not very good but I got into a few spots

Hand 1 This is a tight reg who I dont think is going to find enough bluffs, Not the type to turn SD hand into a bluff.
