So let's see those half year graphs!

6 months are in the books so far so let's see everyone's graphs so far! If you had any goals for the entire year feel free to post your progress on those as well.

My graph is actually from February on since I didn't start really playing seriously in cash games until then. I started at 10NL and I'm up to 50NL now.



+1200 from a tournament but I withdrew that. Looking at this graph, I really don't play enough..

it looks like a line going up for a while and then going sharply down and then up again

it hasnt been so good to start the year but hopefully it would be better in the next half

It's funny I never even thought about yearly or 6-month goals. Too hard for me I guess since I had just started the whole cash game thing in January and didn't know what to expect or how to make a proper goal.

My Brand New 6-Month Goals:

- Get the bankroll up to be able to play 100nl
- Join a top notch video training site (Stox?) once I get to 100nl
- Make enough to withdrawl $1000 and do something good with it

That's the first time I've ever put a monetary goal in any of my goals. Neato.

Anyways here is my 6 month graph. Pretty steady!

Stox is a great site, it helps, trust.

Yeah I've been debating Stox for a while. I've come to the conclusion that I will try it out for the 7 day trial when I get to 50nl (end of July? August?) and decide to keep/jettison then.

One thing I have notice is that when both ChuckTs and Zachvac joined they really said how awesome and amazing the videos were ... then went on horrible runs.

no one ever talks about my horrible run and it has absolutely nothing to do with anything (except the pokerstars misaligning ldo)

only 3 graphs?

lol, well the one thing I would say is that you should not try to play like the players in the video, you should try to take the concepts and apply them to the players you're playing against. Just like the concept of cbetting or raising with position doesn't have much use in a game where people play 22 as the nuts UI (we've all seen those kinds of live games), at limits where players will stack with top pair, won't be 3-betting anything worse than JJ+/AQ+, and won't ever bluff for stacks, we can't be light 4-betting, bluffing for stacks ourselves, assigning as wide a range to bluffs as they do, etc. But if you can take the key concepts, and know that the ranges are different but understand what they are, and then apply the concepts.

fwiw I watched Kyle's cbetting video along with Ed Miller's "poker made simple" series. Since then I'm running at 5+ PTBB/100 at 100nl over 13k hands. Now granted I'm like 3 buy-ins over ev and running like a god now, but even without that I'm winning with a decent rate. So like I said, don't think the 600nl 6max 3-bet ranges are the same as the 50nl and 100nl FR ranges, or you'll be assigning a lot of KQ/low pair hands where no one's really doing that. But the videos are definitely worth it and the people doing the videos (at least the ones I've asked about so far) have all posted responses to the questions within 48 hours. So if someone's done a video and you're not quite sure you understand the concept, or are not sure what they'd do if say another card came on the river rather than the one in the video, they've all been great about answering questions.

I cant show my 6month graph, b/c of the cock up with PT2>PT3 and +200k hands being stuck in an inaccessible black hole somewhere .

Needless to say it doesn't look as attractive as Chuck's.

Seany that graph is pure sickness, how on god's earth do you get NSD line like that. You make me wanna vommit .

Nice graphs by the way guys.
