ZOOMING IT UP. HOW FAST CAN I GET MY HOLIDAY PAID FOR?
My name is Michael (MDC on Pokervip), this is my poker journey.
I haven't played more then a few thousand hands for a few years now. Ten days ago I won a bet with a friend who deposited $85 into my Pokerstars account. I decided to do a bank roll challenge, see if I can run it up to $3000 in the next few months; to pay for trip to see my mom and family in the UK this summer. I am moms favourite and my brothers and sisters know it. Smiley face.
I started at 5NL Zoom prepared to move down to 2NL if I lost 7 buy ins.I have hit 40,000 hands, halfway to my 80,000 hands per month goal. I have gotten off to a rather frustrating start. I am running in the region of 22 buy ins under EV. The stats are a little askew as aforementioned friend punted off 6 buy ins one session (thou he did pay it back). I’m currently running at 3.76bb/100 when my actual EV should be around 9-10. Not mega crushing, but would have been enough to move up to 10NL with rakeback. I do understand there is standard deviation etc, and I have made plenty of mistakes. Now waiting for God Mode to kick in Due theory in all its glory! The main positive is, I have been doing very well on handling tilt, patting myself on the back for that.
I do have much still to work on, points below ones I want to focus on first:
C-Betting
Redline (lower then it should be as I played a bit scared due to run bad)
Getting my 3b up 1-1.5%
I would very much like to join a SERIOUS study group and if anyone has knowledge or good filters for PT4 it would be very much appreciated as PT4 filters can be a bit befuddling.
I will be posting updates fairly regularly.
Cheers
