yarik_gr Posted December 19, 2018 Author Share Posted December 19, 2018 UPDATE 2!Honestly, my challenge is now looking a little bit harder to me than I expected. I still can't beat my chief enemy - my laziness. I have a mixed feelings about my monthly results. On the one hand, I have a good profit for €1 games and my "dirty" ROI is ~20%, but on the other hand I can play a way more games and play it better. I'm always looking for some excuses to not to play (like bad run or bad mood). But, as I said before, I will try my best to complete that challenge and even a 500 games streak without a profit didn't break me! 😃Day 23: - Day 24: -$3,43 (0 games; lost some in tryings to complete a challenge) Day 25: +$35,96 (209 games) Day 26: +$22,03 (100 games) Day 27: -$7,55 (25 games) Day 28: +$2,96 (21 games) Day 29: +$72,02 (151 games) Day 30: +$4,87 (48 games)Overall results: Profit: +$499,41 (day 30 goal: $600) / Games played: 2423 (day 30 goal: 3000).Now it's time for some Christmas and New Year preparations, so I'm not gonna to play a lot until 2019. But I hope that I finally catch up with my plan at January. Happy holidays and thank you for reading! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kesha17 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hello yarik gr You strive to become top and thats super And i want to tell you that. Online poker earn very hard.Not actually possible.Like me if you pay attention on the number of all players who play MMT tournaments and cash games,that's an average of 800 people.And also the number plays double and super double.And do it yourself conclusionsWhen you start to win many badbits will begin.I do not know like everyone else but this is my personal experience. If you have any thoughts on sports, write to me.SMILE .Thanks for writing. I am from Ukraine and yes Russian is my second national language.And yes my community goal is to learn English. And good luck with your endeavors. SMILE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarik_gr Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 UPDATE 3!Didn't played a lot, I skipped almost a week (only played some games for missions to get €10.000 Freeroll ticket and won some money). I was running pretty good last days except today. After first 50 games I had 23 second and only 3 (!!!) first places! Was really close to tilt, but somehow I found strength to keep playing and ended up day with profit.Day 31: - Day 32: +$2,71 (0 games) Day 33: +$2,93 (0 games) Day 34: -$5,20 (10 games) Day 35: +$11,85 (0 games) Day 36: +$13,69 (0 games) Day 37: +$48,34 (162 games) Day 38: +$17,24 (99 games) Day 39: +$43,62 (147 games) Day 40: +$16,56 (61 games) Day 41: +$44,45 (165 games) Day 42: +$14,94 (130 games)Overall results: Profit: +$710,54 (day 42 goal: $840) / Games played: 3197 (day 42 goal: 4200).I hope for some running good in January and I will do everything to beat laziness, cause my low volume is the only reason I'm lagging behind the plan.Thank you for reading and happy New Year!@GR1ZZL3R I'm trying my best, thank you!@Brocky So you can move somewhere in Africa and play 1-2 days in a month to get average salary, but do you really think it worth it? 🤣 Thank you!@Kesha17 I'm 100% sure that average salary is about $300. Except Minsk, but that's the only one city and living is a way more expensive in Belarus capital, so it's almost the same thing. @successlaw & @Silver1 here's an update, thank you for support and have a great holidays! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the machine can only print maximum of 20€ a day. The valu is random and the money printing only works during night when there is a full moon :)think I read that he earned money from challenges those days and not SNGs(?). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarik_gr Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi! I've been away for a long time. I was still playing SNGs, but I want to give up with my challenge. I want to share a couple of points with you. 1. I'm a lazy guy. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, the main reason I'm givin up is my laziness. I had a lot of reasons to give up, but I'm still have feeling that I could easily beat my challenge if I wanted to. 2. I think that I'm overrolled too much. My bankroll is ~€1000 and I'm still playing €1 games. I'm always have a feeling that it's time to move futher and it's hard to play your best game for the money that is just a drop in a sea, you know. As I said before, I was an €4 SNG games regular and now I don't have a feeling that I'm playing for money (I hope you understand what I mean). I want to come back to €2 and then €4 games ASAP. 3. At the beginning of my challenge I didn't realized how much 100 days are. I mean, a lot of things are changing and it's hard to predict your way for such a long period of time. I had to made a ~30 days challenge, not 100. That was a big mistake by me. 4. I have some really bad runs at 2019. I mean, it's not a big problem, but it's hard to play after a couple of hundreds games without profit at €1 stake, you know. 5. I have some personal problems. One close to me person got sick with a serious illness. I don't wan't to talk about it too much, but I want to say that at such moments you are realizing that money is the not main goal in the life and also I can't play with a bad mood. Any emotions has bad effect on a game, no matter bad or good they are. Thank you for all the support! It really means a lot to me. I think that I will play €1 games until March and then I'm gonna move to higher stakes. Presenltly my goal is to come back at €4 SNGs til the end of the summer with %10+ ROI. That challenge gave me a lot of experience and I think I will start a new one only when I'll be sure at my succsess. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR1ZZL3R Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 @yarik_gr Sorry to hear bad news.It's a trivial game when you look on it as a whole and there are more important things to consider, hope good news follows. 2 "It turns out that 75% of all poker players think they play better than the other 75%."

Petit_pertotal Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 i feel you :) i also have stopped playing the 1 eu sng's because of the ammout of time it took for the reward..as you can see i have had some semi bad runs on the way or at least time's i was stuck in the graph but it's just so much effor to grind for example this semi bad run i am having at the moment.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuriziwau Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Played a bunch with you at the 1 euro level but almost never saw you at the 2 euro games. They are just as soft so i think you really should move up asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
