Curveball

 

This graph shows my Big Blinds won over the last month against the hands I've played:


Covid-19 meant I could not go to Costa Rica for the Live Cage event which has been postponed indefinately. In fact I cancelled my flights ( I was given credit with the airlines) two days before departure! And I was lucky too, because I would have been stuck somewhere along this route:

Australia - UK - USA - Costa Rica - USA - UK - Australia

The most likely place I would be right now is the UK as the various border laws changed shortly after I cancelled my flights.

So instead I'm here in Australia, where about a month ago I signed a new staking deal with a couple of very strong players, that includes coaching, both in a group and privately. The deal is structured to be a longterm one and I anticipate it will be beneficial to all parties. This deal has freed up some funds for pimping my grind-station which now includes a treadmill desk with a 24" monitor as well a 30" & a 27" monitor with a beast of a PC (inc. 64gb of RAM and an SSD HD).

So far I'm in profit and I'm happy! So I'm looking to build on this. At the moment I'm 6 tabling on one monitor but a.s.a.p I hope to be able to play 10-12 on two monitors without sacraficing too much of my winrate. If I can do this, and it remains to be seen, then I estimate I can play 1 million hands in a year. My coaches and I are aiming for a winrate of 15bb/100 hands at low to mid stakes. Aim high! What this translates to in ROI I am, as yet unsure, but my coaches think $100k / year USD is a realistic target. I'll take that!
