I'm losing my mind at the 10s, it's the biggest ❤️♥️❤️show of players I've ever seen. It's a mix between ok regs (very few), bad regs (more), bad recs (lots) and players that make the bad recs look like Phil Ivey. It's a really weird experience because I'm 3-4 tabling, I've got one guy check raising me because the board texture favours the OOP pre-flop caller while simultaneously I have a guy shoving 14 times pot on the flop because the psychiatric hospital patients are having computer time. To add to it all, I'm getting coolered beyond belief but I've stuck to the BRM and managed to survive the variance even with yesterday's best efforts. Had another 10x (3rd of the challenge), lost all 3. Today I had TP with nut flush draw on A98Tss and of course I'm up against 76. Get back to 250 chips, lose A3 vs T9 where he flops the straight all in pre. Lovely. This challenge should be going soooooo much better than it is but I'm still plugging away. I'm not going to lie, I've questioned why I'm even bothering at these stakes many times but you create your own luck, right? I'm not done for the day, just taking a small break. Here's a graph:

Wins 35% of 3 player game, loses 12 buy ins. Stupid format!

You had a smaller stack in hand for hand, therefore you finish 8th.

Played a few on the phone in bed, lost some more bi. Get a 10x hexa and I've got a guy folding everything but randomly calling it off with crap when he gets short. These all went in pre: Bottom 2 pics are the wrong way around but when you're downswinging it feels impossible to win games at times. He wins 3 all ins and the very next hand wakes up with aces. Cool. ❤️♥️❤️ today, seriously.

Getting crushed beyond belief today. 0 lucky would be an understatement but I’m not going to bore you with pictures of all of the hands, instead we’re going to go live and grind it back. Will be on in 10-15 mins! Www.twitch.tv/brockypoker

Thanks @SCOBY Dennis I've replied to your PM, all details will be public soon hopefully :)

Decent afternoon session today, unsure as to whether I'll play tonight but playing the €10 HUs is really putting the confidence back into my game after recent struggles. Overall bankroll is now €839.27 Don't want to stream too much HU as I'm looking to potentially do a HU study group and would want to keep all HU content there. Therefore, I'll probably be streaming when playing other games so will post as and when.

Nash is a good guideline but it only works on the assumption that I am shoving nash ranges in that spot and there's some other factors it doesn't consider such as I am not going to be open jamming my whole VPIP range, I will be limping some of it. Anyway, the stream is supposed to be just for entertainment and a bit of strat talk, I'm not looking to have everything I say or do over a 3 hour period scrutinised. Similarly, if I make a throwaway comment about someones play it doesn't mean I think you're terrible or vice versa, could just be one play in a vacuum. I make loads of terrible plays during a session but we're defined by the long-term. Quick update from yesterday - Should have been a lot better, very swingy at the end and not very enjoyable. Cut the stream short as I had a headache and shouldn't really have been playing at all but looking forward to getting back on it today. Got 2 outered for fun and seemed to jam AK into AA more times than I can remember but still achieved a 6.6% ROI for the day.

Yeh 5 mans are definitely not my strongest game, been playing hypers for the past 6-7 years or so and I'm definitely rusty at certain stack depths from the button/CO but to be expected I guess. You talk a big game for a secretive man though, what's your ROI at the 10s/25s 5 mans?

Beers and 5 mans! www.twitch.tv/brockypoker

Lol! That's what it's normally like to be fair. Today has been steady but pretty unspectacular. Going to try and get in some 5 mans later today.

We're back! www.twitch.tv/brockypoker

Was too tired to stream tonight but some decent results at Hexa/HU with a 25% increase on the bankroll in day 1, +€127.61.

Back to back hands in the deep impact. Cool.

Nice 3 hour stream to start things off and ran terrible as per :) I did manage to bink a 5x Hexa off-stream while I was waiting for the gf to get home to save the session. Results are: 49 games at €10s, 24 cashes with €30.01 profit 1 game at €5, 1 ticket won for €25 Total profit €25.01 + €25 ticket (graph doesn't include ticket)

Well I'm as ready as I'll ever be. The microphone broke again so trying audio through the webcam, seems alright in testing but we'll see. www.twitch.tv/brockypoker

Hoping to be ready soon, Stubbe is currently helping me out with overlay and design for the stream so will look a bit less 1995.

Will be playing some satellites so fingers crossed can qualify for a few. Thanks mate. The plan is to start streaming later today, probably around midday-1pm UK time. I think I've fixed the microphone so we should be good to go.

Maybe it's time for you to start streaming!

The plan is likely going to be something like: €500 starting bankroll, €10 and below games, moving up when bankroll increases. Mornings will be HUSNGs and 5 mans with some UK/UOS sats and the odd MTT thrown in. Afternoon/evenings will see me move towards a fuller MTT schedule with fewer SNGs. I'm hoping that the variety can keep things interesting and I should be able to get decent volume in all game types. I'm very good at planning big things in my head then not following through with them (the 10k Hexapro challenge for example) but I'm hoping that I'll be able to do super long streams with the planned schedule (provided I'm enjoying it). I need to buy a new microphone as my guinea pig decided it would be fun to chew through that and my new £200 headphones that I got for Christmas, lovely!

Thanks for the responses guys. MTTs are definitely an option and I've always wanted to grind up the satellite trees, just never put the time in. The issue with 5 man SNGs is I would likely 9-12 table and that would be very hard to keep up with given a lot of the action will be heads up/3 handed. I'll have a look at the MTT/satellite offerings today and see what the deal is.
