MaxSang Posted January 11, 2023 Author Share Posted January 11, 2023 Keeping on track, 8K hands today. I m trying not to look at results until the end of the week. Its always been a struggle for me but I saw that after the first 2 days its easier. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSang Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Yesterday has been a long day and challenging in terms of negative variation, lots of 2 outers and lost flips. But we must stay composed and get through it with volume. 11.5K Hands played yesteday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSang Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) The first 2 weeks have come to and end. So far I have played 65K hands with a profit of 500E. 90% of the volume was played at 10NL. Going forward I think I will replace the 1-2 25NL tables with 4NL tables because I have noticed a tendency to defocus and mild tilt whenever I lost a few stacks or flips at 25NL because of the monetary difference and not enough bankroll to be careless at 25NL. I m gonna give myself some rates in a few criterias, I hope I m not very biases. Consistency: 9/10 - I m satisfied with the volume I managed to put in so far, it can be with 20% better tho. Tilt Prevention: 7/10 - I usually tilt once or twice a day, and spew a few Buy-ins leveling myself. I m not dissapointed nor satisfied. Deployment of the Strategy: 8/10 - I usually try to stay on track with my strategy but sometimes I drift away due to fatigue or minor tilt issues. Study and Strategy Refiment: 8/10 - I try to study or revisit some materials everyday because I like to keep the fundamentals and base strategy sharp. This is it so far, thank you for following and please post any questions that you have. Edited January 13, 2023 by MaxSang 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ValueHeavy Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 My question: why would you do this to yourself? On a serious note though, best of luck, will definitely follow the blog! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Wizard is ok for NL10 player population here, i tried the free version only so far, dunno to buy for micro to be honest.. Thanks, and GL again ! Did someone say GTO Wizard? Imo the free stuff should already be enough to get started. You get all the ranges you need, one solution a day and can practice 10 hands a day. As a 10nl player that should be enough to get started. Besides that I would advice finding other players that play similar stakes to discuss hands with and reviewing your own hands after every session using good old equilab and your brain.

Another factor is the pool gets smaller the higher up you go and NL4 is basically a donkfest, NL10 is a donkfest but with some (bad) regs, then at NL25 there are more semi decent regs etc. The bigger the pool the better as you get a better rec (fish) vs reg ratio. GTO Wizard for beating NL10 is just absurd, just keep it to the basics to beat the game should be good enough, doesn't hurt to look up some spots but all you need is to know opening ranges from every position and just value bet when you have it, fold when you don't, in a nutshell that is. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I m gathering bankroll and continue to study the game for future stakes. MDA and GTO. Thanks for following and input, I have also watched several of your streams! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NL4 and NL10 are fun to play due to the higher amount of recreationals and their fun plays. Lower rake also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSang Posted January 20, 2023 Author Share Posted January 20, 2023 This week I have played only 22K hands with a profit of around 100E, 10NL tables only. I took the first 2 days of the week off in order to go a little in depth with study, mainly focusing on preflop and rivers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P0kerM0nk Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I'm interested to see how many people achieved the 1 million hands, can't be many as there are only 573 people who passed the 250k mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxSang Posted February 10, 2023 Author Share Posted February 10, 2023 This month I have played 56k hands so far. The winrate since I started the challenge is around 8bb/100. One of the most important concepts of poker can be distilled down to this: There are 2 reasons why we bet: To get worst hands to call and to fold better hands than ours. Another way put, to get opponents to over-pay for, or under-realise the equity of their hand. Keep putting in the work everybody! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxSang Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Hello guys! I consider February to be over for me. This month I have played around 95k Hands with a winrate of over 10bb/100. Mini Challenge Starting from Monday until the 31st of March, because there will be 5 beautiful working weeks, I will try to play 150K hands at 10nl. Best of luck everyone!

KrustyTheClown Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Update? I'm pretty sure I played with you quite a lot some weeks ago. You always min open right? I think your 3betting and 4betting ranges were pretty out of line. You don't need to try and run over every reg imo 🙂 Anyway, good luck with the challenge.

A little behind on the challenge because I had to take several days off. I actually never min open, 2.5x is my standard open and sometimes 3x. I like to think that Preflop is one of my strongest areas, so my 3Bets and 4Bets are in line with theory. Its true that I 3Bet alot tho, rarely calling preflop. I like to change my aliases quite often and always playing with 4 different aliases at the tables at the same time, so maybe you confused me for someone else 😄 I m gonna give you a sneak into my aliases, so you get an idea of who I was at the tables, because I m going to change them anyway 😄 Good luck at the tables and thanks for stopping by! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to take a week off during the minichallenge so I didnt managed to complete it. 118k/150k Also the first quarter of the year is done, and so far I managed to play 323k Hands, a little behind on the schedule. Good luck to everyone grinding and see you at the 10NL tables! Edited March 31, 2023 by MaxSang 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrustyTheClown Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Update? Did you quit the challenge or move up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxSang Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 Sorry for going stealth. This year I managed to play 1.250.000 hands on Unibet, 90% of the volume played was at 10NL while the other 10% was 25NL and some banzai. At 10NL I had a winrate of around 7bb/100 and at 25NL anywhere around 1-3bb/100. I semi-failed the challenge, partly because 1-2 month I have played on other sites, but Unibet is definitely the best and friendliest site around, and I can call it my poker home. From now until January I m going to charge up for my best poker year so far. Please feel free to ask any questions and thanks for coming by! Happy Holidays! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P0kerM0nk Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Questions: It's impressive but was it worth it? Seems like too much of a grind to me. Are you going to put in the same volume again next year? How many people have passed the 1 Million hand milestone? It's a stat in the game lab, I'm currently at 867k hands lifetime and it says only 1,124 people have passed the 250k mark. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
