So i have been incredibly slack this year in both hands put in and my willingness to listen to people who know better than me.

Now that i have stopped both of the above i think its time i set myself a decent operation for the rest of the year.

For background - everyone knows the old BBJ stories, however last June i moved up to 1/2nl FR on stars - promptly won 8k and moved up to 2/4nl - took a 4k downswing in 8k hands (-8PT or something, when i should have been +2PT) and promptly took a break as losing 4k kinda hit me hard.

I tried to grind at the beginning of the year, but through work distractions etc i havent really looked at my game or done anything good (other than breakeven)

And yes - im not a pro and i have a job.

At this point its worth putting up my pre-July YTD giraffe



As you can quite clearly see i had some tilt and discipline issues that came from starting back at lower limits and not caring too much about money.

then in July i decided to fix my game - fix my lack of discipline, take a few days off work and grind my ass out.

So in terms of my operation.

My bankroll is deep enough to play 5/10nl - but realistically i dont believe i can yet beat those stakes.
So stage 1 is to complete 100k hands at both 50nl and 100nl at a required PT/100 so that i am satisfied i have fixed my leaks

Stage 1

Complete a 100k sample at 50nl with a 4PT/100 winrate

Status - Currently 45k hands needed at this winrate to complete task.

Stage 2

Complete 100k sample at 100nl with 2PT/100 winrate

Status - Currently 62k hands needed at this winrate to complete

Stage 3

1. Return to 1/2nl FR and beat games for 1.5PT/100 for 250k hands.
2.Build Bankroll to 30k
3. Get coaching to beat 2/4nl FR

So, i currently have a 1.5k bonus clearing (9k VPPs needed) and i have about 16k FPPs on my account courtesy of Stars generosity in giving me supernova for free.

I will update my thread after each session
