Hey!

Here a small recap from last the last week. I started playing 4 tables at the same time but I didn't feel really good about it since I didn't make profit.. after 170 games I decided to start 2 tabling and that went better. 

Results

• Games 200
• 1st 71
• 2nd 80
• 3rd 49
• ITM% 35,5
• ROI -13%
• Net Winnings -26$

Tilt

Next to these games I wasted 64 dollars in wcoop sats. I felt really bad about that, it's something I did before and I really have to work on the type of tilt, in which I start playing 15$+ buy ins levels. I decided to restrict me from all tournaments, all casino games and sngs with buy ins above 1 dollar. So for now the only thing I can play are the 1$ Spin and Gos. I decided to keep this 64 dollar lost out of the project.

After this I didn't play poker for the rest of the week because I had midterms on my university and I had to study hard for it. It was pretty nice to clear my head and I decided to get a gym pass to get in shape and it should help me to stay fresh in my mind.

Next week preview

I will try to play 500 games. I will keep 2 tabling for the rest of this month, after this month I will wait till I make a stable profit then will I try to start 3 and later 4 tabling again, but for now it's quality above quantity. Most likely will I finish the Mersennearies free book.

My weekgoal is to win 25k ev chips.

Current bankroll 59,-

I will see you guys next week!

Hey!

Week 2 is a week which gave me some mixed feelings. The goal for 500 games was a bit to optimistic for me since I was 2 tabling this week, but still I tried to play a lot of games. In expected value it was a decent week but the results are bad.

Results

• Games 402
• 1st 147
• 2nd 146
• 3rd 108
• Unknown by HM2 1..
• ITM 36,6% (ITMev based on chip all in ev 38,7%)
• ROI -9,95%
• Net Winnings -40$

When I felt sharp and fit I decided to play 3 tables sometimes, but when I was a bit tired I sticked to 2 tables. However the 3table ITMev went a bit down the earnings per hour ev went up, I think this works fine for me.

Efficiency

At the moment I usually play poker between 8 and 11:30 pm. After dinner I often feel tired, so I think I have to drink some coffee to be sharp enough to play poker. After playing poker I want to sleep but most of the time it's really hard for me to fall in sleep. I am way too busy in my head or the coffee is keeping we awake but I know I have to change this. I am literally throwing away around 7-8 hours during the workweek by not falling in sleep. From now on I will start an experiment to become more efficient. I will play poker from 5:15 to 8:15 am. I will do this approximately 4 times in a working week since I go out for some drinks approximately once a working week and then I will prefer to get my sleep. Next to this I am planning to play around 4-8 hours in the weekend. I will be working on school between 9 and 18:00. I will also try to go to the gym during the school time because the gym is at the campus. This should give me some free evenings to be able to study some poker/ study some investment theories/ study some courses (currently I am in a productivity course) / relax/ hang out with friends and so on.

Preview coming days

I will start playing poker at Monday morning which gives me only 3 more days to play poker in September 2015. I will probably play around 3x3x20=180 games. Wednesday evening I will write a month review with some more detailed information about where my profit and losses are and I will discuss the new month goals. I still have to finish the Mersenneary ebook so I will do that aswell.

The current bankroll from the project is: 80 dollar

I invested 146 dollar in the project bankroll. I had to deposit to take the 64 dollar tilt lost in the first week out of the project which gave me an 14 dollar deposit bonus, so the net. lost from this tilt was 50$ instead of 64$.

And thanks Aaron for your reply, it's nice to get some response!

See you all Wednesday evening with a more detailed update.

Hey!

Unfortunately I wasn't able to play a lot these week and I had some struggles with getting in the new ritme for my experiment in which I will play from 05:15 to 8:15 around four times a week, during the workweek. I will try to work on this the coming week.

September Review

Playing Poker

• Played 707/1000 Spin and Gos
• ITMev 38,3%/39%
• ROIev* 4,4%/6%
• Net Profit: -43$

* ROI without the chance on 120x 240x 3600x (2,1% extra rake)

Studying Poker

• Read the Mersenneary eBook

Bankroll

• 111$ / (Invested 154$)

I dind't succeed in the goals (except of Studying Poker). I don't mind that I didn't made the amount of games since I switched from 4 tabling to 2 tabling during the month, but I amn't really happy about my ITM and ROIev's, however I saw that I started playing better during the month so hopefully I will achieve the goals next month.

Week 3 review

• Games 105
• 1st 49
• 2nd 33
• 3rd 23
• ITM 46,7% (ITMev based on chip all in ev 41,5%)
• ROI 21,9%
• Net Winnings +23$

Unfortunately it wasn't over a big sample but I am glad to get my first profitable week.

Oktober Preview

I will post updates every Sunday from now on.

Playing poker

• Play 1300 Spin and Gos (Keep the silver star status)
• ITMev 39%
• ROIev 6%

Studying poker

• Start and complete Sentins hu hyper video pack
• Buy Spin and Go HUD

I will also try to complete a productivity course which I am following currently.

Bankroll

• 111+82,50 (profit) -> approximately 190$

Probably I will do the bankroll booster once I get closer to the next buy in, but for now I could only play around 3 times a 235 sats a month, which makes me preferring to save my fpps.

Next to these, I decided to cancel all my restrictions, so now I am able to play every game and every level again. However I am not planning to play a lot of tournaments is it nice to have the option. For instance today I played some tournaments with a friend, I didn't succeed in them but sometimes I like it to play some more exciting tournament then the STT's.

Hi!

The volume wasn't good last week. For the first time in my 'school career' I have to 'study' and I am struggling with it. Currently I amn't playing a lot of poker since my study is more valuable to me. My exams are coming so I am afraid that the volume won't be big neither coming week. I hope to succeed in my month goals Anyways.

Results:

Once I have more time, I will come up with more detailed week reviews. I will also tell you something about my personal development when I am less busy. 

Pretty nice that I have won the 25x and the 10x, these where my only 6x+ spins since I started the project.

Hey!

How are you guys doing?

Unfortunately I haven't played a nice sample to show, but I have made a decision. After an interesting conversation with Fabio (from Mizter 8 Journey blog) have I decided to switch to heads up hypers. My major poker year goal is to become a member in the staking program and this should become earlier achievable by playing heads up hypers. I will also pay less rake, have less swings and it should be easier to build a bankroll faster.

I had to focus on my university last week because we had exam week, now can I put effort and time in poker again and I am driven to do that.

Since I am busy with an Investment group as well do I have to save some time, I decided to reduce the amount of updates on this blog to twice a month. I still like this blog and it helps me to stay motivated so I won't give up on it.

I will write a month recap/preview next weekend for  Oktober/November.

Hi guys,

I am leaving hu/spin and gos. I have other priorities in life at the moment. As you might know or not (I am not sure if I told you) am I the president from a student investment group. We aren't big but it's a great experience and I am learning a lot. I put a lot of effort in the project and I will keep doing that as long as I will be the president. Next to this do I have to study a lot for univeristy as well. Last week I was able to play only 1 hour in total, since I have quite limited time available for poker, do I prefer to play some tournaments for fun, instead of focussing on studying/playing hu and probably not beating 3,5$+ due to limited time. 

I started this project because I thought it was a good use of my time, but unfortunately I don't see it like that anymore.

Thanks for reading my blog and I might return on one day.. full fill the dream!

Jesper
