The main challenge is in the Title but at some point, I will also take some Shots at MTTs if time allows it, mostly when there is a Promotion or Series going on, like the Unibet Community Poker League or the Unibet Online Series, etc. Also at some point probably gonna try PLO Cash Games and for all the other formats, Gonna Play from Once in a Blue Moon to Never. However, I'm not gonna go out of my way to play everything. For UCL_3.0 as an example, I'm only gonna play the €1 MTTs.

Explanation on how I got here? / Why Cash Games?
So take a step back and think about how was/is your daily life routine and imagine how it might look in the near future and if you were a winning player in all formats which format will give you the best quality of life/poker? Now from a variance point of view from lowest to highest, I came up with CGs, SNGs, MTTs, HexaPROs. From a time perspective, thinking about the number of players to the actual time you are glued to your seat, I came up with CGs, HexaPROs, SNGs, MTTs. Now think about what format has protection to the uncontrollable life's events like for example you get a package, someone needs you right meow, your internet/power dies, you are tilted, etc. The only format that has protection if your internet/power dies are cash games, you only lose what's in the pot, so not that much. For example, if you play 4x NL10 Tables vs 4x Table of any other format the EV/Money you lose from a 5-10 min internet/power drop in the long run is massive. 🤔

@FreedoMBest of luck in this new challenge. I know you've had a few false starts in the past, like myself, (my last cash ticket went out not with a bang but a whimper) so I hope you make it stick this time. Good reasoning on the cash tables, more or less what I've always thought, very convenient for hopping in and out of or stopping when life issues intrude (tilt mainly 🥴 )  I'm starting 1 table per day of 5-10c with about the same bankroll so maybe we'll roll on together. Keep at it. 🍀

Summary:

So most of the days I was really tired and didn't feel like playing but I ignored this on Monday when I played the Community League Low + NL4 which went poorly ( -€2.75 in the League and -€20.73 at NL4) and from here it spiraled into me chasing losses at NL20 Banzai but somehow managed to stop and in the following days I played when I was fresh and won it back so, in short, I guess I'm fortunate enough that I didn't burn it all down. 🙈

Off: Still can't get it how could we accept bonus points, ticket and similar things what have turning requirements as "rakeback" and counting them 1 to 1 as cash. It should be an option choosing cash or bonus points with at least 1,5x multiplier or they should rename it to game rewards or so.😕On

It's a very good start winning more than a buyin after playing 12 minutes. Gl and keep up the good work.

Good luck for your challenge, im going to follow You, hoping to see how to beat these stakes.

Any plan to share some strategy...? 🙂

 

Thank You. Yeah sure, why not. I guess the best time to post how did I approach the stake strategically would be once I move up.

Although this might take a while since unexpected things keep happening. Right meow, I think I got the flu, I'm feeling horrible.

Summary:

This week it's a messy one, both from the playing side and stat gathering side. At some point, the bankroll was down to €50, pretty sure I lost in hu sng's and won in hexapro's also played some MTTs but didn't keep track. So cash games are easy to track from the main site but for the rest, I see the buy-ins but I don't know what's what. I don't have much to say other than that once I've fully recovered from the flu, I will start reading the Mental Game Of Poker 1&2 and other books since it seems I have some serious leaks. Not sure if I should postpone playing/updates for a while until I feel ready to pick it up again or just keep posting.

You don't think this is a mistake. Or again you wanted to recoup?

I thought I answered this in the summary but apparently not.

Yes, I think it's a big mistake and it needs fixing before my luck expires and I find myself crying in Busto land.

How many hands are You planning to play per month..?

Sry if the answer is there already somewhere, i missed it then.. 🙂

cheers

I was thinking 25k-50k hands, but now it doesn't matter since I find myself in Busto Land. Didn't really play a hand of Cash but torched all of it by playing €25-€50 HU-SNGs and doing some Sports Betting. This doesn't mean I'm done, it just means I have set myself back 2-3 months or more, so it's not clear how much money I will have to spare for poker, since I got some family members birthdays upcoming followed by the holiday season which is double as long since I'm Romanian/Serbian and I also have a Discipline/Tilt problem that needs to get fixed before I try again. 👋

Sorry to hear Your Busto 😞

But i have to say,i admire your positive attitude regarding a few months set back..

I am quite opposite like U, as i could keep format and limits( unlike U 😉 ), but i cant believe that is possible to get money out of poker, unless U play 100K+ hands per month as a “robot”, without tilt…

On other sites the rake is the main reason for it, here i dunno, the player pool is sooooo unfrickinbelievable… 😉 ,so i am tilting way to much and nothing to check as well on stats, which cause me a lot “rigging” issue ( unlikeYou Sir 🙂 )

So anyway, good luck for next time, i still follow your topic..

All the best

Regards,

I don't think you need to play 100k hands a month, but managing tilt is one of many things you need to have a grip on if you want to have a chance to win in the long term. 🤔
