15k -> 100k Regrind Challenge
I previously made a blog here - https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/174/p...
Some previous results on GGPoker from 2023
TLDR, I tried going pro for a summer, but didn't like it that much and didn't progress that much in poker. I have been on a downswing recently and have seen my bankroll come from heights of 50k, down to 20k, back up to 30k, due to poor financial decisions, risky shots, and spending.
Recently I have partitioned off around 15k for my bankroll. My goal is to grind it up to 100k by the end of the year by playing clubGG and underground/home games (1/3, 2/5) in NYC. I will be tracking every session via an online app and through pokertracker.
Currently the bankroll is -
$15,589 in a designated savings account
$0 in cash (need to carry a lot of cash for live games)
Some goals for the summer -
- 75k hands on clubGG
- 120 hours live
- Start studying live-specific stuff, such as tells or how to play preflop live
- stop smoking weed
Gone are the days where pros would play more than 20 hours a week.
Sad :(
Congrats on the bink and good job getting out of that hole
tyty! been really enjoying your posts too
you are right though, even as a pro I probably only played 20-30 hours a week. there are exceptions but I definitely think pros (especially cash) spend way more time studying than they did a few years ago, which translates to less playing.
Pretty low volume month -
Happy to run good and feel that I'm in a decent rhythym wrt studying and off the table work.
Overall the month is ~+3k.
Been getting back into the live scene in my city and have taken some shots, including playing a 10/25/50 game I sold action to. pic below of chipstack
Ended up breaking even in that game, and after a disastrous -4k 2/5 uncapped game yesterday basically broke even playing live for the month despite a mini heater I had in the beginning of the month.
Next month hope to put about double the volume online and continuing playing 2/5 ~2 times a week. With enough luck I'll reach 100k by the end of the year.
Bankroll has hit ~55k with some good luck in the markets and a few big winning live sessions. Not much to show but a fairly big change.
I recently joined metal_ouda + captain robur's CFP. While I do enjoy live, the long hours and the overall grind it requires is a pretty tough pill to swallow especially with a lot of other responsibilities. So I decided to bite the bullet and "move down" (not really) in stakes to prioritize honing my skills online. The deal is pretty favourable, and I plan on starting out by playing 200nl as well as the 200 ante games there, but focusing on 6 max for volume and reps. So for anyone following expect to see more hand reviews, graphs, and strategy ideas in the coming months.
I plan on playing 50k hands at 200, (should take me about 1.5-2months) then moving up to 500 if all goes well.
