On My Way Up To 25K

bridgegunner · On My Way Up To 25K

Back Looking To Finish Off My Goal

I am back to finish off my original br thread. My original goal was to make 25k and that is what i am here to do. I am at just over $500 on all my accounts.

I am not using my original thread as it was strickly husng and i am playing 6 max cash now under the cash school program. I have had some great coaches in alex and broker and i am playing the best poker of my life. I have over 40k hands in 6 max with slightly above break even but there was some bonuses and rakeback to help. I am currently playing nl 10 basically .05-.10 blinds. Its the lowest of the low but i want to do it right.

There is also something a bit different i have with my br strategy as i didnt have before. I use a 10 bi strategy when shot taking and 20bi to move up. I know my old br nitty self would scream outloud. I will be working with the cash school mid stakes pro's looking to move up to nl100.

This is where we are so far on ipoker.

I feel i am getting back into it and did make some loose calls and playing a few hands oop from the blinds that i need to tighten up.

My Thoughts And Views On The Game

I consider myself an old school player learning the game over a kitchen table and perfecting it in a live casino. I played alot of tourneys and live full ring cash games to some great results. This was when poker was all over tv at the height of the boom. I went on to have some very good scores live but buried them all under large amounts of good stories and useless things. My motivation for poker has evolved into playing with a purpose and not to have fun. We all started playing for recreation but some of us commited to learning the game. I brought my recreational attitude to online poker and have been given some hard lessons. There are alot better poker players then me that over a computer give off very little tells.

This all leads me to being in this game so that i can succeed in the game i love. Success is different to everyone and i see being able to play poker,teach poker,and be a ambassador as success. i believe very strongly in giving back to the community that taught me so much. I dont claim to be the world best coach but i know how to make a succession plan and keep people on track. The one troubling thing to me was a comment i heard once that people who teach usually because they cant do it. I believe that great players can be great coaches but they need to be able to live the things they teach. I now teach how to be accountable to there poker and i look in the mirror and know i am not doing everything i can for my game. I teach how to map a plan to reach your goals but i see myself running in circles looking for a different result.

It All leads to this thread my only way of holding myself accountable. I now have a network of players urging me on and pulling for me as well as my family. My family is so supportive and i am so blessed to have them pushing me forward. I want to reward them they way they deserve it but the only way i can do that is by holding myself accountable in my teaching and in my playing.

I will update weekly with graph and stats

update

havent played today been working with some players going over a few concepts today and some reviews which is going great. started to review some of my longer sessions this week and seeing a very open calling pattern from the small blind. looking at my results i see my biggest losing position is the sb but most 6 max players lose money from the blinds but when i spew off a few bb per session calling to light it adds up.

had just over 3k hands and down $11 i am switching away from ipoker as i absolutley hate the software and i dont see the cash school being around much longer so i am looking at playing on stars exclusivley as that is the site with my best results and the weakest opponents

i wont be posting a graph this week as i have been on 3 sites this week and hem cant combine them all so i dont really wanna bore u with looking at my 3 graphs that flat line. i made 3 light calls this week and didnt suck out imagine that. i would be up 3 bi if i hadnt of made these calls but i just didnt go with my read.

goals for the week

-5k hands on stars with 5 bbs/per 100
-hh review before and after each session
-5 nightly sessions this week split into 2 smaller 1 1/2 hr sessions
-one coaching review session
one video on blind play-watched
-post in br thread weekly
-post 1 hand that i had issues with in 6 max thread
- keep my grind up day in day out with no emotion

Looking forward to the next post!

Keep up the good work.

I know you can easily break 5k hands if you want to.

I has been a tough 3 weeks since my post and i feel i need to really update alot of things about my thread. I have been lax in my playing and in my accountability. Been playing some husng as well as 6 max but not commited to either one. i have been doing ok playing hu and up a bit playing 6 max. with the urging of reseal and sminitt i will be moving back to carbon for one last shot with the cash school and the beloved merge network. I am going to commit to the cash school and be an active member in the 6 max community. i hope to push to nl 25 with shots at nl 50 by end of september. hoping to be playing 5k hands in my first week.

i see how well reseals game is evolving and know i work very well with him. i can see myself getting to the level that i know i can be successful at.

Reseal

great stuff, looking forward to having you back in the fold bro. we can and will reach the upper echilons of cash game poker together Very Happy

Bridge....

You have to commit to one style in your mind otherwise when things get tough you'll waver to the other one. Multi tasking two games even if one is just part time should never be done with an already full weekly schedule. Stick to one game and commit to it. Setting yourself one style only to master is paramount towards your eventual success over the next year.

Which game do you enjoy the most.....?

Take care mate,

after a few weeks break from playing 6 max and light husng 5-10 games a week for fun and a vacation to the usa i am ready to get back at it.
on my trip to spokane i played some full ring limit 3-6 and 4-8 but didnt make much. i was going to play a mtt but they cancelled it with the labor day long weekend. I basically had the time of my life for 4 days away from everything poker,family,career. Its my 4 days to just be with my buddys acting crazy and seeing the greatest band in concert dave matthews. this trip has become a yearly thing and what i look forward to all summer.

From Here

This was a break that was well overdue. My mind wasnt right in anything i was doing and i needed to start fresh. I set a goal to hit nl50 by month end and i plan on doing it. I will play like i know i can grinding with 100% commitment to 6 max. I am alowing myself 5 husng games a week on my tilt roll-cake poker once i have hit my daily 6 max goal of 1500 hands.

I will be recommited to our 6 max study group and posting hands regularly. I will be playing with $150 br on merge to avoid confussion with using a few sites. i am commiting all of my volume to merge to grind the september reload bonus and my 22% rakeback i get with my vip level.

I appreciate everyone on this site for there support and understanding about everything i have done and will do. z1,golden,reseal,dom are my measuring stick and part of my inspiration for pushing forward. I hope to take something from each of these players and bring it into my game and become the complete poker pro i need to be. This game is the only true thing i have been apart of my entire life and this community included being the pinnicle. i will be doing this 25k challenge for myself,my family and the entire tag poker family past,present and future.

Best of luck!
