Grinding Up: NL10 --> NL100
Hi twoplustwo,
I decided to start this blog for a few reasons:
- To keep myself accountable and build better discipline
- To document my poker journey and track my progress
- To connect with other poker players and make some new friends
My goal is to move up to and beat NL100 for 3-4+ EV bb/100 over at least 100k hands by 2026.
I aim to study and play poker for at least 6-8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week.
I will post here regularly with my daily progress.

hi, yes u can add me: truesicko
Will start the grind tomorrow!
Here's the plan moving forward:
- 3x 1.5-hr sessions (w/ 25-min breaks in-between)
- 1-2 hr study (hh reviews, drills)
- 10bi shot with 50bis for the next limit
- avoid zoom, play reg tables only, max 3-4 tables
Expect transparent monthly reports (graphs, bankroll update, volume), and will post daily the most interesting hands I could find.
Good plan and best of luck in your grind. Following.

i think that x/c is the worst option as my hand becomes a bluffcatcher
and i think jamming > x/f, as i get value from worse
what do you guys think?
I don't like turn size. You'll underbluff whilst villain will overfold.
