My Summer Grind Challenge - Out profiting JB

Posted 8 years ago

Inspired by @Jon-PokerVIP 's 10NL challenge he's just started HERE

and because of the great promotion from Party / BWin that's a part of that I've decided to give it a go myself to run alongside my Live Poker $5k Challenge HERE!

The promotion (and challenge) runs until August 14th and is simply this:

Play 30k hands - Instant $150 Reward
Play 60k hands - Instant $150 Reward
Play 100k hands - Instant $300 Reward
Play 250k hands - Instant $900 Reward

These are cumulative so a total of $1500 if you make the full 250k.

I generally don't play cash, and don't have as much time to play as I'd like so I'm going to be aiming for the 60k hands and $300 bonus, as well as the other bonuses from the Top 777 Rake Race etc.

Starting with $100 (will deposit if required)

Main Aims
- Play 60k Hands
- Be in profit (including all bonuses)
- Out-profit Jon! (He'll obviously be playing more hands, so more rake / higher placing in the rake race etc, so Ill have to out-perform him on the tables to do this, but it would be a nice achievement!)

I spent some time sorting out my HUD, and played for 20 minutes to check it all works etc and pulled in a little profit over 92 hands lol

But we are officially on and I'll update this at the end of each session!

4.6k hands in and 4bi down. Not sure how bad or not that is LOL, Did get half of the losses back this session but then lost today's profits in about 5 hands over a 10 minute period so that sucks! Finished $0.65 down for the last 1k+ hands this session.

Will be putting in tons more volume from tomorrow when it will count on the rake race for them all important (And I'll need it) rewards!

This is a hand I'd like thoughts on. I should have took the turn raise as a warning, but once I call that so I have to call the river?

^ I think I just muck turn, as turn raises are usually the nuts, and this is a big one. Villain is full stacked which makes it even more of a fold as regs probably are nitty at NL10? River you can fold if villain is nit, call if you think he has moves.

Thanks MG, two more hands I wouldn't mind an opinion on, don't think I can do anything with the JJ one except a bigger 3-bet but I think he calls anyway. I never flop anything like that!! Not had as much as a flush tonight

Both look fine to me. JJ one yeah I'd go bigger $1.20 or maybe even more.

Good to see its not just me always hitting the nuts on Party. How you doing overall?
