Alucard's PLUS ULTRA! Cash Thread

Yo Wat Up!!!

Starting something to track my progress & work towards goals.

ATM I'm playing 30NL-180NL on an App (6max) . Most action at 60NL & 120NL.
Since I'm playing at only 1 club right now I only play 3 tables at once. Very little volume. Planing to add more volume soon.

------------------------------
Main Goals

* Have a 5k steady monthly income by December, playing Poker (Targetting weekly goals than monthly)
* Move to another app to add up more volume within the next month
** STUDY more

* Read more
* Socialize & meet people
* Start a small scale business within next two months (probably exports)

Nothing wrong with having ambitious goals as long as they are based in reality. For example starting a small business within 2 months, probably exports, sounds to me more like a dream than a goal. You don't even know what kind of business you would like to start, and, besides, export-import businesses operate on a large scale because the profit margins are slim, and for buying or selling on a small scale there are numerous online platforms where people and small businesses can purchase products from overseas sellers with no need for export-import intermediaries. I wish you good luck in everything you do!

Good luck.
I've always found setting money goals to be difficult and troublesome due to variance. I'd want to just make the best decisions I can and let the money take care of itself.
Here to support where I can as ever bro.

:beer:
yeah that's why I'm changing things up to weekly goals rather than monthly goals.
Whatever may happen money is important. And this is what I'm currently targetting for my income to be by the end of the year.
But focusing a lot more on weekly progress so I keep motivated & not procrastinate stuff

Ran a pretty bad bluff. He's loose so I'd expect him to bet a J,Flush or a bluff on riv. Was hoping to fold a 6x as well.
Maybe should've 3b sqz pre.
9 on riv isn't ideal but thought it good as any to bluff jam

Aound -$500 for the month after today. Pretty brutal day
Probably gonna take a break tomorrow, rewind, drop down the stakes & get back up :beer:

 

[Figaroo2]

Yeah its a bad run, most of it is standard. The set of kings with 4 to a straight facing an overbet all in it pretty obvious he has a 5 but its a mighty tough fold. I probably still bet flop even with top set.
87 i just fold preflop to the 3 bet, we have better hands to play in that spot and jamming a paired and flushed board with a straight isnt in my play book.
TT feels overplayed as well. I'm probably checking that flop to avoid bloating with 2nd pair.

87o is Heads Up & he has been 3betting a bit so I don't thing I'm ever folding. Standard play IMO. maybe flop raise is a bit over aggro
TT isn't ideal but I was ranging him on something that isn't a Kx or 7x due to history. Wasn't in my best mental state while playing this but I don't mind it

Oh cool. You should check out my new cash game progress thread (or just DM me). I literally just kicked it off. I'm putting a lot of volume on a similar sort of platform, but not the club structure.
