The Big Heads-Up Challenge - 3rd Update

Hi everybody,

The first 125 games (of 250) in the 3,50$ level are done and here the statistics and results:
  • number of victories - 75;
  • number of losses - 50.
 
The first 65 games were really good and I have almost reached 100$. However, a small down-swing made me lose around 20$. At the moment my bankroll is at 80,72$ and let's see if I can reach the 150$ in the next 125 games.
I will try to make the print screens of some typical hands in Heads-Up Poker and then show it here.

Good luck to everyone and see you at the tables.

The Big Heads-Up Challenge - 2nd Update

First level (1,50$ NL Heads-UP) is done and here the statistics and results:
  • number of victories - 141;
  • number of losses - 109;
  • total invested - 375$;
  • total won - 389,16$;
  • profit - 14,16$;
  • number of VPP won - 0,66x250=165.

As can be seen, the results are quite bad. A lot of "bad" players (it does not mean that I am a good one, but I cannot make some things that I see everyday, like all-ins pre-flop with 6 3 and so on) in this level and it is hard to don't tilt.
Anyway, I am going to start the next level (250 games of 3,50$ NL Heads-Up) with the initial bankroll of 24,72$ (10,56$ from my initial bankroll at the beginning of the challenge plus the profit from the 1st level). That's not even 10 buy-ins but "no risk, no fun". I am expecting to don't find so many "bad" players at this level and I will try to play very concentrated (something that it's not easy sometimes).

Good luck to everyone and see you at the tables.

The Big Heads-Up Challenge - 1st Update

So here are the statistics and a graphic with the variation of my Bankroll related to the first 125 games of 1,50$ NL Heads-Up:
  • number of victories - 77;
  • number of losses - 48.

As you can see, I had a good start and then a down-swing between the games 40 and 50, also provoked for some bad decisions that I have mad.
Anyway, I think is not so bad, but I have to improve my game in the next 125 games of this level, play more concentrated and try to don´t lose at least more than 100 games.
If you have comments to do with your opinions or suggestions, please fell free and don´t hesitate.

See you at the tables.
