5-10 Quest- halfway there

[ActionJeff]

I lost $250k in a day less than a couple months ago and posted that I was going to cash out most of my online money and play 5-10 6 max, grinding out a profit and rebuilding my confidence. My goal was to win 100 buy ins in under 100k hands.

I followed through, and although I've been lazy logging hands, after about a month and a half I am halfway there as far as the profit mark (counting about 3k in profit from a short session on cake), and way ahead in bb/100.

I hope to complete my goal by the end of June and begin a new series of 6 max and HU challenges. My next plan is an Aba-style series of shots. I will leave $60k of my winnings on FTP and use $40k to play 10-20 6 max, with a 20k fallback for 5-10 if I lose. Once I've won $80k at 10-20, I will have 20 buy ins for 25-50 with a 20 buy-in fallback and move up. I will continue doing this for each level.



In these 18k hands, I have played a ton of different styles with greatly varying VPIPs and strategies from the blinds. Yet at the end of the day, I was shocked to see that almost every one of my stats was identical to those of shecantsayno in the PP 10-20 game. The only real difference is he 3-bet more from the sb than I did, accounting for the slight difference in PFR, sb VPIP, and sb defend. I think this discrepancy is the result of me adjusting to the tougher games. Although my stats for the past week resemble his even more closely than the above. Pretty cool.

I guess that means I am a cash game genius after all? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
