Bankroll challange

Hey. I'm willing to start a bankroll challenge. I'm micro stakes player who plays just for fun, but hopping that one day I'll become nosebleed crusher:D I was playing MTT's few years ago, but now I really dont have any time for these, because I'm working abroad and doing it really long hours (12 a day, 6 days per week). So recent time I was studying cash games. The main reason for starting BR challenge and posting it here that the stakes and money I can earn in these stakes doesnt motivate me, when I deposit some cash and start grinding, after few sessions I end up playing a tourney for all my "bankroll".:D
So, Im starting with 100 bucks. Willing to turn it into 1k until the end of 2017.
My volume will be pure, because I have just a few hours in a day to do it.
I'm starting it today, after I end up my job.
Action is on party poker. I will post some graphs, results, some hands maybe.
Btw, I will start grinding at 5nl zoom
Wish me luck

If you are working 6 days a week you should use another activity to relax and build a roll by simply raising funds to deposit later when you can take some days off from work. Using your whole bankroll on a tournament might be poorly for your mindset.

save some bucks and play when you can take a week off for example.
I am currently moving from one apartment to another so i am not playing. I regularly play NL50 zoom on both pokerstars and party but i take 2 months off until i am into my A-game again.

Im getting money for hours, so sometimes I can get home earlier, today was that day btw:D Already working like one and half month in this shedule, but Im going for vacation in somthink like week. Problem is that I dont have much free time to get rest and play my A game. Brain doesnt work properly after a month working, but I have nothink to choose from.
Btw, yesterday session went wrong, lost couple of buyins, my game was terrible and I started to tilt a bit because I felt outplayed:D
But there is a good news, today I get home earlier and grinded for about 4hours and +about 30bucks. Will post todays session graph later

Post some of the hands where you felt "outplayed" - to me that is more interesting than graphs, and it could be more beneficial to your progress :)
Forget your bankroll - consider it lost, and forget the graphs - just play your best and don't worry about up/downswings. Hide your bankroll in Stars and maybe look at it at end of month - or not.

I make it a habit to check hands for review before I hit the fold button in tough decisions or right after I click fold. At least for me it is super annoying so sift through a few thousand hands and try to find the ones in question so I tend to mostly look at the hands that I marked for review during the session.

Btw, started playing 4 zoom tables, but I felt like there's too many, because I opponents takes a lot of strange and different lines, so it takes a while to make a desicion. So now grinding on 2, results are way better

I only ever 2-table zoom. To this day I have no idea how people manage to 4 table zoom without being on complete autopilot. I know it is possible - just not for me I guess.

I think I could handle 4tables with clear mind and bigger screen, cause playing on loptop hard to see all the stats :D

so I ended up by lossing my bankroll in few tourneys like always :D but today started again from somewhat 50bucks, and in first session i run like god, witch motivates me a bit, its a hot run for sure

man, I have also had big losing sessions at the micros (~10BI´s) and though I couldn´t beat the limits like you, but the truth is the players at these stakes are soo weak that it doesn´t take much more than dedication and discipline to win at a decent winrate over a large sample. Off course the techinical aspect is important, but once you have figured out more or less how they play it´s pretty easy to find exploits and crush them. (for example, from my experience 5NL players tend to float smallish bets really wide and bluff a lot with random air after someone checks back the flop)

Maybe someone know why my hud crashes? and tables crashes at the same time, so I sitsout during the hand often. My laptop is pretty bad, I quess thats the reason, but maybe I could do something about it? I had a funny hand today, MP opens, I have AA in CO , sure I 3bet and get cold 4b from bb, MP shoves and I tank for a bit and click call and hud crashes at that time , and I dont know if I will sitout or call :D

Kuduku 7 years, 5 months ago

I have no idea - it might be the hud itself, an issue with party capture, or it might be your pc config. It's hard to tell tbh and you probably better off emailing hm2 support or posting error log in their forums.

Have you tried hand2note as an alternative to hm2? I like it much more than hm2 and it's completely free up to 25NL.

I started a similar challenge on NL2 zoom SH on Pokerstars. But I am running waaaaay under EV ^^

edit: btw its 4 tabling zoom. Its kinda autopilot. But on these stakes its just ABC poker so thats fine
