I'm not sure how many hours I play, I usually take in consideration how the game is going, if I'm still playing as good as I can and if I'm having fun.Ideal would be to move up in stakes but I'm taking a conservative approach so I'm in no hurry.@Esir I like the conservative approach! How many buy-ins do you have as a requirement before moving up in stakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many buy-ins do you have as a requirement before moving up in stakes?This depends on each individual and how mentally and emotional prepared he/she is when the variance hits, and it will hit at some point (the bad way). So better try the waters and see how the swings affect you. If losing 1BI/10BI or losing 1BI/100BI feels the same for you then go aggresive otherwise take it slow. Yourself have to find the balance that brings your best game to the table. 3 Better to be lucky than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going alright thank you. Had a few break even days. But hopefully the second half of the month will go better.We are on track with the challenge, finished with 8442 flops seen at the end of the second week. 6 Better to be lucky than good.

EDIT: but it could work as well if you did not use that option, so it will looks like this:25.84€ / 0.10€ = 258 BB stack (by same math skill used) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish8one Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 LOL thx, i know some maths..:) btw, there is no point to use ever the " playin cents " ..in my opinion...Thx, i probably overlooked the pics above...was happy to may have at Uni a same option (program) like on Stars for eg., to convert chips in bb...I have used that and was very helpful..i meant like this: Never mind...what was i thinking anyway..?! here at Uni any helping program...??!!?, :)THX!

MadAdo took a pic and showed you. The math skills or whatever comes after that isn't really relevant. Have a great day! :Lovekiss: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinki Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 @fish8one Is not that the point here that you do not use any software? you can collect some data day by day ... and create some sneaky sheets , ask for monthly cashgame history ... but agree convert stack into BB is nice...maybe someday :)ps. i forgot about you two times :) I have to call you back to the my board again;) "Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises."

Esir Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello,So January is finally over and here I am back with the update on this challenge. The month started pretty badly, had a downswing but I managed to keep my composure and get over it. So if you ever think or wonder what's happening judge yourself only by the decisions you've made and not by what your bankroll is showing to you.So here are the stats for January:Hands Played: 88692 / 85000 Total Hands: 88692 / 1000000Winrate: 21bb/100 (4NL) | 9bb/100 (10NL)See you next time guys and don't forget to have fun.

Silver1 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Nice job @Esir and nice winrates!Also started out with a downward curve but closed down on the plus side.How many challenge points did you manage to scramble during January? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esir Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 @Silver1 30k challenge points. Thank you! 2 Better to be lucky than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esir Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hey guys,The challenge is still going strong, reached around 6.2k flops so far into the month.Wanted to brag about a hand. It feels great when you make it but it feels amazing when you get paid for it.Good luck and have fun! 6 Better to be lucky than good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esir Posted March 8, 2019 Author Share Posted March 8, 2019 Hello,February:Hands Played: 80950 / 85000 Total Hands: 169642 / 1000000Winrate: 31bb/100 (4NL) | 5bb/100 (10NL) The sample size for 4NL is not that big that's why the winrate looks so impresive, I think the one from January is closer to reality. The month was going well on 10NL but in the last 3 or 4 days I managed to drop around 30BI which is tragic. I can only blame this on myself and the cocktail of emotions that got me (lack of focus and bad plays).Let's hope March will bring better results and positive vibes, cause otherwise it looks like grinding 4NL is more profitable than 10NL and the rakeback from 10NL (less than 10%) is not worth it.Thanks for checking in and have fun at the tables.
