Hello, September Challenge Update: Hands Played: 88002 / 85000 Total Hands: 868351 / 1000000 Winrate: 4NL: 3.70bb/100 10NL: 5.45bb/100 The bad results continued in September as you can see. The month was a total rollercoaster, this was the first time I almost busted my roll multiple times playing 25NL. I did not add the winrates for this stake as I have under 5k hands but it was around -15bb/100. At the lowest point my roll was 4.68 € and 800 Bonus Points. I could have added more funds and have a roll for 10NL but I decided to make a personal challenge and see if I can come back from this. So I decided to buy a 4NL ticket with the bonus points and started grinding 6 tables with 50bbs. I managed to clear the ticket at 26€. Now I was sitting on 30€ and decided to apply the same strategy playing 10NL but a bit more cautious. So I was 4 tabling 10NL with 50bbs. After around 14 hours of grind my bankroll was back in a spot where I could play my normal game. So to all the micro grinders that are reading this you can build a roll from almost nothing if you are motivated and focused (and have a little bit of luck of course ). PS: Don't play 10NL with 30€, respect bankroll management. I was prepared to add more funds in case I busted. BR On a positive note, October started very good so I expect better winrates compared to the previous months. Short story from today: I decided to take another shot at 25NL using a ticket bought with Bonus Points. So again I split it into 2 buyins (BRM is very important ), I busted pretty fast the first 50bbs and I was left with the other 50. At one point I am in the big blind with 69ss , MP min raises, everyone folds to SB which calls and I decide to complete. Flop: JdTs7s, so a pretty good flop for us and our ~50bbs, everyone checks and the turn is the As, the dream came true. SB checks, I decide to bet pretty big so I can shove on the river; MP folds and SB hits us with the good old min raise, at this point I was a bit worried that we might be beat but there's no way I'm folding a flush with 50bbs so decided to shove. Surely the SB snap calls and delivers the bad news, he turns over J4ss. I was already thinking my 25NL adventure was done but RNGJesus had something else planned for us and decided to give us another chance at this shot. River takes, river gives Surely after this miracle, things went pretty good and I managed to clear the ticket. This is all from me for now, I hope you enjoyed these stories and maybe some of you will find a little bit of inspiration in them. I wish you good luck and don't forget to have fun at the tables.
