GOAL #1: At least $1k profit a month
Hello everyone,
This is going to be my thread for my journey to build my monthly profits in this game via MTTs. My big goal is $10k a month, but right now we're going for the $1k a month mark.
In order to do that, I'd just need to make only $250 a week in profits. Pretty doable, just need to work on my trouble spots in the game as well as as many leaks as I can find in order to decrease my overall variance in terms of cashing.
I have my satellite tournos that for some reason are very high variance (it just seems like everyday I make just ONE mistake that cost me the ticket. I keep working on fixing those issues and I am getting better.)
I also have my consistent MTTs that (when ran deep) can easily get me to my weekly goal, and eventually my monthly.
I just need to get better at reading hands, stopping myself from hero calls, and betting larger with good hands, and adding more hands with high profitability when they hit like suited connectors to my range as well known big hands like AK are nice and all but they aren't super decrete and act as blockers against opps having hands they will want to get money into the pot with.
I appreciate each and every one of you who offered constructive criticism, advice, and feedback so far in my various postings on this forum.
I plan on posting a update each day on how the tournos went for the day. It's 3:03 AM right now so I'm not sure if I'll do the first post now but we'll see.
Wish me luck, let's do it!
GL on your challenge. Poker seems alive and well
Gl OP , subbed
C'mon Mr. "Punt Meister" surely you have enough skill to beat a "insecure clueless kid"?
We're all waiting to see which of you is ready to put your chips where your mouth is. It's show time!
Take the punt!
Accept the challenge.
You got the nuts to win this Mr. Pro?
I'm all in.
Make the call.
Mitsi where you at?
You're still talking yet you won't take the challenge? That's a massive tell...
Tells me your hole cards are very weak. You're bluffing.
All talk, no poker skill.
You got the nuts? Make the call.
Accept the challenge.
Wow - what an insecure child you are.
I am not playing your nano stakes (not turning on the computer for 25 dollars)
You are either a troll (hope for you) or biggest fish ever…
Ridiculous how you behave…
You will be broke soon as you always were after a short period of poker
Challenge seems pretty silly. I don’t think anyone would agree to it unless they wanted to waste time
Probably better to just focus on your own game instead of randoms
They talk a lot of sh t, so I figured they'd wanted to stop the chatter and play some poker. I guess not? What a surprise! If they want to talk trash I might as well improve my game from it. There's no lose here.

Excuses excuses excuses. Just say you're just not good enough bro to play against a "fish"
If you're some kind of high-stakes crusher this challenge would be a cakewalk for you... You wouldn't be complaining about needing more buyins at a stake apparently so much lower than your own.
You've been exposed as a fraud Mr. No Kendoo. Exit stage left.
Mitsi? Where you at! It's poker time!
I challenge nick12 as well. Who's ready?
You should really take your pills regularly as recommended by your doctor.
I feel honored, but I am just a passive reader ๐
Good luck on your journey tho ๐
Curious btw. Normally you take 30-50 BI in cash games, play and track 100k hands on a specific limit to avoid results being distorted by too much variance (up and down) and if you beat the limit for say 5-7bb/100 or more then you move up to the next limit. The starting limit you choose based on available BR and skill.
Why do you not choose that route ? ๐
(btw most sites give the opportunity to download hand hkstories which you can then import into a tracking program lile holdem manager,poker tracker or hand2note.
The reason why people advocate for that many buy ins is that poker naturally has an enourmous amout of variance, so even the best players in the world are going to go through periods where they lose many buy ins vs way weaker or recreational players. The amount of buy ins helps to play a limit consitently without being at the risk of going broke or having to move down too much.
In tournaments its the same but even more extreme. If you check the graphs of sharkscope from the best players you are going to see that the break even or lose for 1000 tournaments or more regularly -granted thats mostly for very large size tournaments). If you only play small field tourneys the variance is gonna be way less but its still gonna be there.
A good ROI in mtts is 30%, which is however very high already and only the best achieve that.
A good sample size in small field tourney should be around 2000 games. In big firlds its around 5000 games. Zhe number is that high because tourneys have more variance than cash. To give you an idication, pros play around 50ish tourneys/day bjt just start playing many tables at once, it takes a lot of time to get there, so give yourself time ๐
Those numbers should give you a rough indication of what variance is like, what a good path to move through cash game stales is and the variance in the game/why people use so many buy ins.
Wish you all the best my friend!

Thanks mate! Yes I know that stuff. My room doesn't allow HUDs. And I don't have that many buyins anyway. I need to keep improving my game and I can't do that waiting to save up $2,000 just to play NL100 in which people only play slightly different than NL50. Instead I just deposit $25, play NL25, and play up to a NL100 buyin, and then play. Yes there's variance but in my experience, you don't experience that as much until you're shoving your stack or overplaying a hand. I have a different cash game strategy than the gurus and those online who teach this stuff. So far so good.
Kendoo Kendoo Kendoo
Where are you?
We've got some poker to play now.
Kendoo Kendoo Kendoo
No Kendoo.
No play, just talk (all low brow).
I've withdrawn my challenge from you Kendoo, your time is up!
When I'm making 4 figures and then 5 figures a month from this game while you're still scraping a couple big blinds per hour remember: I will not teach ya ๐
Exit stage left.
As proven in the last few days these haters are all talk no bite.
Once allowed to show their apparently superior poker skill they run and make lame excuses while still making low brow commentary.
Very telling. I called their bluff, and they are no more.
So with that said:
Challenge Withdraw.
Fasten your seatbelts. I'm still on the hunt! We're gonna make 100bb profit 7 days in a row from NL100. I'll show you guys this game is not as complicated as some make it out to be. You don't need thousands of dollars to play some cash table poker profitably
We'll be making $1,000 a month profit!
Then I'll get to NL200 on NL50 buyins (NL50 / NL100 / NL200).
And soon we'll be making $10,000 a month profit!
And I'll have all the beautiful women.
My haters WISHED they could do an NL50 buyin and even make to 20bbs in the same 8hr session LMAO! That's why they buyin at the highest stakes and try to scared money squeak a blind out of weak ops here and there. Scared money is soon my money.
All haters are welcome to sit on my right. (just so you get a good viewing seat of course ๐ )
See you in June!

If you were actually reading this thread you'd see the pattern is I leave, come back run up from like $25 to multiple hundred. Learn through experience, change my strategy. And repeat. You're just salty bro that you need thousands just to play some poker, overthink the game and still can't manage to cross 200bbs at least once per session.
Meanwhile my accounts are in the green deposits vs withdrawals.
You're time's up! Exit!

I would say more, but I read this thread that he made. I feel a little bad for him
