Day 4

I had to follow the rules today and leave the table after I increased my Buy In by 1.5x. I even stopped the hand before the blinds reached me just for safety.
I didn’t play that much either, I basically built my Buy In over the course of about 50 hands with my $1 that I sat down with. I did have another guy check calling my turned full house with just top pair, but because I balanced my range, he’s practically guessing if I had it or not.
Don’t be afraid to show your bluffs at showdown, it makes your opponents second guess which is exactly what you want.
Unfortunately though, neither my Holdem Manager 2&3 and my PT4 will not store my hands. This means I have no way of knowing just how many hands I’ve played or any stats that I could use. The only thing I can do is take screenshots of my daily play like the one below. It shows my profit at the cash table but not much else during my 24 hours of previous play.
Anyway, below is the proof, I know I don’t have to prove anything, but I wanted to fully document this challenge, unlike the first where I had to change forums and lost the start of the challenge, which was also the best part in my opinion. I still remember playing the 10c rebuy and treating it like my life depended on it.
Tomorrow is another day and hoping to play more hands than today. I still may even fire Betsafe back up and take advantage of the drunks......

Day 12

Sigh....... Yes that says it all. Even with another couple of hours play tonight, I went to reg for the €3k Sunday Freeroll and says I’m still not played enough raked hands to qualify. I did however qualify for the €1000 tomorrow afternoon at 5pm. I’m going to have to play some more to get me into the other game and if I have the same luck like I did tonight, then I’ll be lucky if I have enough to sit back down again when it’s time to grind again next week. Today’s session was painful and these stakes are driving me insane. I started to look at some Mtt’s and I may still be tempted to play those instead. They do have tournaments for like 55c and €1 and not forgetting my ticket to. But these little staked tournaments run like a normal bigger tournaments with 10 minute blinds and a decent starting stack, so don’t be surprised if I get side tracked in the near future. Binking one of those should get me out of the 1/2c cash games which are killing me. Today was another bad day. I ran a b...

Day 11

I played for about 2 hours today and I was up then down and up again, but nothing really happened for me today. No big hands, poor player pool with limpers and calling stations, so I couldn’t bluff quite as often as I like. But I went with it and ended with a small loss overall for today. I think I might of done enough to play the €3k freeroll on Sunday, but I’m planning on playing Friday, possible two tables if it’s busy enough.

Day 7.

28th July and I’m sat in two tournaments. I have both screens up and the first to start is the €1 flip to the €110 Sunday major. By some miracle I win my first table of 9 players with JJ and then it’s down to about 23 players who’ve all won their tables. Sadly I do not make it past that round and after checking, there’s still 6 players left after the two previous rounds. I knew it was going to be extremely lucky to win a seat, but it’s worth doing in the future when I have more funds. Talking of funds, the €3k Free-Roll starts and with around 470 runners and I’ve got my obligatory 1000 chips I now try to play the very best poker I’ve ever had. Playing super tight, my aim is to make the cash. I check the payouts and chuckle when I see the top 259 players will cash, but it’s just a 11c tournament ticket....... However, I grind my chips up, admittedly with AA three times in about 15 hands but most players have the 3500 starting stacks and know I’m playing tight, so I get respect even t...
