From $1000 to $10000 in 12 months (ideally)

From $1000 to $10000 in 12 months (ideally)

This is the second part of this challenge, the first one was a huge success with the goal of going from 25 bucks to a thousand being achieved in less than a month. This next challenge is the same ideally, to get to $10k as soon as possible.

The idea is to start from 25 bucks on my GG account and get to 1k as fast as possible, im also a med student so I have to take breaks from poker to focus on exams 4 times a year. Still try to manage 10-18hs a week of study and review and 20ish hs of play.
My user on GG is Leo DiBenedetto and will be posting twice a week or after a long session.

Challenge BR: $1170

Thanks for the comment and support, to answer your question the challenge is played on GG, I play some on ACR and PS and I am also learning HU to play on coinpoker. I play 25 & 50nl 6-max and 5 & 10nl HU, previously I used to only play regs for fun, but given the rake and my skill level that ended up losing a lot of money (post rake). So now im being disciplined with game selection, if one stake doesnt have enough good games running i hop into the lower one and I do that also in case I feel im not playing my best.

This last couple of days I have been playing mostly 50nl on GG and some HU. Regarding the challenge I have made some progress and feel really happy with how things are going.

This is tha challenge graph:




BR:



Its been a while and let me tell you all that it has been rough. Have been on a downswing in 50nl, lost around USD $700 in 20k hands, have been paying tons of rake so after rakeback I am a bit in profit, still havent claimed my rake tho. Have been playing RNC again and enjoyng the way it is, you can get away with being more aggro and pushing spots that reg tables do not allow for.

I have been studying a lot. Just bought GTO WIzard and also using GTO+ which are in my opicion great to use together, currently im finding myself understandung spots better and being eble to exploit better specifically in river spots which I´m sure has been saving my winrate a bit.

The current area im working more is in finding better river bluffs, bluff selecting better and profiling my agressiveness better towards my opponents tendencies, since prevoiusley I have been just barreling away without any care.

Will post here the latest graphs and info:

RnC graph:


The goal fot the week is to study as much as possible and get a deeper understanding of wide range spots. Regarding play the idea is to play both RnC and reg tables to maximize profit, still not cashing RB until i get the points fot the 1k ticket

BR: 505 + 520000 RBpoints
