Luck is the result of preparation
GM Legends. ♠
My poker journey began in 2012. I played freerolls and microlimits on PS. At that time I was 17 years old.

How much is a gem worth
Regarding gems: it would be great to reach 7.5kk by day 30.
Why this challenge? Not long ago, I hit a "****ed up equilibrium" on Polymarket, and to distract myself, I switched to poker. Then at some point I thought: why not track the results after every session? Maybe it ends up being useful for someone.
A bit of context: I once lived on $600/mo with a bankroll of $500k+ and was ready to "eat mold". Social isolation pushed me into a dead end. Very few people reach real heights completely alone. Don't repeat my mistakes.
Your environment shapes the reality you live in. Now I rented an apartment by the sea for a year, and nothing is holding me back. My plan is to find the smartest people in my new location and build around that.
The profit from this challenge will go toward covering developers costs. I want to start delegating my projects properly.

Day 11:
I'm currently playing 3-8 tables for 8-10 hours a day. A mix of AoF/SD/tours. Most of the time it's B/C game, which isn't good.
I played a few SD tours and blew all the deepruns due to stupid mistakes and missed out on several thousand EV.
5 entries for 100; 525; 150. In every tournament, I made hero calls with a huge stack against a weak opponent.

People underbluff at low limits because they're weak.
Don't call big bets in tournaments, especially overbets. People never think about frequencies or balance. They want to make a strong hand and bet big with it. That's the law, and it's never changed.
Day 12:
I reached Octopus in 12 days from $1k

Like many others, I've encountered many parasites along the way. Some asked for advice, and I gave it. They asked for more, and I shared more. They took advantage of my kindness without offering anything in return, and I shared it without a second thought. Some were under the illusion that they were on my level, while they'd been playing micros for years and didn't even know the basic concepts. Some praised me. In reality, they were simply jealous and trying to control me so they could later ask me for money. They truly looked pathetic, and I felt sorry for them. Once, someone even said that he was the one who invented the game Shortdeck. I found it funny, so I gave him money.
Their hidden arrogance, combined with laziness and stupidity, destroyed them, and they never grew. And I move on.
You need no one but God. Your "allies" lie to you to keep you close.
