Glad it's working mate. Do you know how to fully use it? If you need help let me know.

I have a fair idea from reading the article on blackrain's website.

Just need to build up some hand histories in my database so i can use the leak tracker features.

Bank roll is currently $30 up from $2 playing 2NL. Looking forward to your next update!

bankroll for 5 nl

I think that with a 300 $ bankroll is pretty decent to give it a shot at 5 nl... now if you go below 250$ you should go back to 2nl...

Weekly Sunday Update:

Starting roll: $26
Bankroll: $968
Profit: $942

Been a slow week, up only $100. Haven't played too much, and haven't had any winning sessions bigger than $25.

Damm very nice. Keep up the good work, very inspiring!

When do you plan on moving up to 50NL? Do you notice play getting much harder as you move up the stakes?

BasTid · Jun 14, 2020

Wow doing great bro, I'm only just beginning my cash journey! Not going great, but learning!

Thanks very much

really pleased to be an inspiration to others.

Hi mate, the fish are much less than they were during the lockdown so I'm still playing a mixture of 10nl/16nl/25nl thus I won't be moving up to 50nl until I have at least 50 buy ins. with $1000, I'm still a long way off

Thanks a lot, I'm glad to hear it!

Waiting for your weekly update!

My Bankroll is now $70 up from $2, i finish exams on Wednesday so plan on doing a lot of grinding and will post a graph next week too!

TheGenera1 · Jun 21, 2020

Weekly Sunday Update:

Starting roll: $26
Bankroll: $1,145 ($1,156 if you exclude the Sunday Storm that I'm currently playing as I type).
Profit: $1,119

Winrate has actually increased this week. Sitting at 19bb/100 over 52.2k hands. Won a nice amount this week too. Had a couple of big sessions.

Interestingly, over the last 8k hands, my red line has actually started to show a positive trend. I must be bluffing more in better spots.

lethalsmoky · Jun 21, 2020

Very nice, what stakes you playing atm?

Any luck in the Sunday Storm?

TheGenera1 · Jun 22, 2020

Flopped a set of Kings on AKT board 60bb effective. Villain calls with QJo and I don't boat up. GG my tournament life.

Playing 25nl 16nl and 10nl. Managed to fit in more 25nl this week than before. I actually found two tables of 25nl that were REALLY weak at the same time. Managed to make a couple of buy ins. Mostly the profit is from 10nl as it has the most fish. My winrate at 10nl is 24bb/100 over 37k hands.

lethalsmoky · Jun 22, 2020

ah unlucky.

24bb/100 is very impressive. dying for my exams to finish so i can start grinding!

TheGenera1 · Jun 22, 2020

Sorry, I made a mistake. It's 25.55bb/100 but it's only over 28,118 hands. It's not so impressive when you realise that it's all just from hunting fish and table selecting. Just gotta be strong and not scared to shove all in with top pair hands. Most people might bet half pot on river against a calling station with AJ. But I will shove all in with just top pair if I think the fish will call with any Ax combination. That's where the high winrate comes from. Bet/bet BET!!

But thanks anyway mate. I never get lucky in the Sunday Storm :/

lethalsmoky · Jun 22, 2020

Not at all, hunting fish is part of being a good poker player!

ganbat · Jun 24, 2020

Nice. Does anyone know any tracker site for cash games like sharkscope? There was one that you need to upload your hand history, after requesting it via email. I forgot the link. Free, and only can give you chart like this.

marcopero14 · Jun 24, 2020

Doing great, keep going!

TheGenera1 · Jun 28, 2020

Hi guys, have hardly played this week. Up $100 or so. Steam summer sale! Got RDR2 and some Assassins Creed games.

Starting roll: $26
Bankroll: $1,227
Profit: $1,221
Winrate: 20.15bb/100

You certainly seem to be doing very well with this.

My congrats and long may it continue.

Must try this fish hunting method as I am not doing so well. I take it you sit at a table play a few hands so the hud pops up and if its a nitfest you shut down and open some other tables.

Good plan

Thanks kindly.

Yes, I look for tables with known fish sat at them. If I can't find that (and I usually don't as they go bust so fast) I look for table VPIP and then stack sizes. If there are lots of odd stack sizes and a high table VPIP then it's likely got fish. And I know most of the regs. I have them all tagged as such. You're totally correct. If I sit down for an orbit or two and don't find any fish, then I get up and leave. I've no worries with my pride. Happy to just leave.

lethalsmoky · Jun 30, 2020

Looks like your doing great!

Here is my graph so far, my Bankroll is $100, when i first reached $100 I took a shot at 5NL and my BR took a bit of a hit, now I'm back at $100 so i'll take another shot this evening.

TheGenera1 · Jul 1, 2020

Keep it up! Only need to do that 9 more times until you reach 1k.

TheGenera1 · Jul 4, 2020

No Graph for a couple of weeks. Going on holiday and playing games from steam summer sale. Will probably resume playing in mid-July.

lethalsmoky · Jul 5, 2020

Enjoy the time off!

Here's my updated graph, 5NL is going well so far.

TheGenera1 · Jul 12, 2020

Thanks mate, back from holiday. Nice graph, mine looked just like that not too long ago. Keep it up, nice winrate.

lethalsmoky · Jul 19, 2020

thanks mate, how are you getting on, have you been playing much this week?

updated graph here, winrate declining a bit, i was running very good early on.

TheGenera1 · Jul 20, 2020

That winrate is fantastic, don't worry too much about it declining. Even 10bb/100 is crushing! That being said, the highest winrates are defintely worth going for, but that is literally down to table selection. You really can't get the highest without table selecting (which you clearly are doing).

Keep up tjhe good work. Are you on 5nl still? I would throw in 1 table of 10nl and 3 tables of 5nl if I were you. Use "cashout" on 10nl if you're uncomfortable. Great way to move up more quickly.

I haven't played more than 10 minutes when I was drunk (won $14 lol) I'll be back playing after I'm done with RDR2.

2nl to 25nl
