So i just finished up my first 100k hands at 50nl this year with great success. Most of it 8 tabling with a little 12 tabling mixed in towards the end when I didn’t feel the need to browse the internet, aim or have any other distractions.


Sadly, I haven’t had the same success at 100nl as I'm down $1k over 50k hands this year, But I've been doing much better recently and will continue playing 100nl baring a ~10 buy in downswing which has happened before. Around 2 weeks ago I was in the exact situation, move up to 100nl, do well, and then I dropped about $1k real fast and had to move back to 50nl to rebuild. I have hope though as I struggled trying to transition to 50nl too at first but once i "got it" I've been crushing.

I have 43k VPPs right now which is a pretty good pace considering I started the year with $500. I'm earning .33vpp/hand compared to .22vpp/hand at 50nl so that is a nice increase and i should be hitting supernova in may. From there I plan to play a lot more over the summer and hit 300k vpps which would be 950k fpps ~ $14250 and a $2000 and $3000 milestone bonus (which cost 50k fpps each to buy) so thats another $3500 or so. So my goal in $18k in rakeback this year which would be more than enough, and god forbid I actually figure out how to win at this game this year has great potential. 400k VPPs and another $9k in value is not out of the question if I can move up to 200nl this summer.

Around December I grew tired of being busto and thought I'd try and put in a serous attempt at returning to poker. I started with $50 i got from a friend and began grinding sngs. After some success there i decided to switch back to 50nl and eventually move up to ssnl! Sadly I've had to cash out some of this money so I'm not able to move up quite as fast as I'd like but its going quite well so far. I also invested some winnings in a leggo poker suscription, tourney manager and HEM. Hopefully I will be moving up to 100nl soon! I also luckboxed some fpps up into a step4 ticket which I will be using to play in the sunday million in a few weeks! life is good.
