15k -> 100k Regrind Challenge

Gone are the days where pros would play more than 20 hours a week.

Sad :(

Congrats on the bink and good job getting out of that hole

Wasn't directed just at you, but noted.

tyty! been really enjoying your posts too

you are right though, even as a pro I probably only played 20-30 hours a week. there are exceptions but I definitely think pros (especially cash) spend way more time studying than they did a few years ago, which translates to less playing.

Pretty low volume month -

Happy to run good and feel that I'm in a decent rhythym wrt studying and off the table work.

Overall the month is ~+3k.

Been getting back into the live scene in my city and have taken some shots, including playing a 10/25/50 game I sold action to. pic below of chipstack

Ended up breaking even in that game, and after a disastrous -4k 2/5 uncapped game yesterday basically broke even playing live for the month despite a mini heater I had in the beginning of the month.

Next month hope to put about double the volume online and continuing playing 2/5 ~2 times a week. With enough luck I'll reach 100k by the end of the year.

Bankroll has hit ~55k with some good luck in the markets and a few big winning live sessions. Not much to show but a fairly big change.

I recently joined metal_ouda + captain robur's CFP. While I do enjoy live, the long hours and the overall grind it requires is a pretty tough pill to swallow especially with a lot of other responsibilities. So I decided to bite the bullet and "move down" (not really) in stakes to prioritize honing my skills online. The deal is pretty favourable, and I plan on starting out by playing 200nl as well as the 200 ante games there, but focusing on 6 max for volume and reps. So for anyone following expect to see more hand reviews, graphs, and strategy ideas in the coming months.

I plan on playing 50k hands at 200, (should take me about 1.5-2months) then moving up to 500 if all goes well.

Any updates? Enjoyed your blogs so far, glgl!
