Posted by jovicakralj: So, here is how it will go. I am going to play 2 MTTs (at least) EVERY DAY and Im going to play them separate. Im going to play buy ins anywhere from 3-30$. Im planing to sum buy ins to be between 500 and 1000$. Along with that I am going to play SNGs which is not included in this challenge but it is main reason for doing this because I want to play big volume next month and I guess this will provide me good 4-5 hours minimum of play daily and put me in place to gain platinum star and be back on track for supernova. Guess i'm going to post my SNG and VIP status progress here from time to time too.
Good luck and everything but what really is the challenge here? The sheer volume or the short term profitability? We all know you could do well on both.
Here is one very interesting hand from that tourney. It happened against same guy as AK hand. http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13757771_58D... What do you think about that shove? He left himself with 6 bb and I thought it could worth it.
However, too bad I didnt make even deeper run, especially in sko one. That was so close. If I won that all in I would have almost 40 blinds and very nice opportunity to get that final table. This way I'm up 39 ,68$ and even better first two tourneys in challenge-both cashed

Challenge is to make myself play every day for entire month. I have bad working habits and I think I have never played even one week in row. And also side challenge is to finally get to platinum star. Also I want to reactivate on forum and post every day.

Not bad for a start, since you have made a profit. On the other hand though i know that such wins for you is like pocket money so i am expecting soon to see a much bigger win than this All the best.

LOL! Soon as I star challenging myself be sure something will go wrong! My internet died for 2 days, guy from internet company fixed it an hour ago At April 1st I managed to play only 16,50$ BIG and did not cash in it. Will continue with my challenge tomorrow and till April 10 will play 3 tourneys a day to compensate for missing time.

Yeah, internet downtimes are literally my death if I am at home when it's happening. The one thing worse than that is trying to talk sense into your ISP's support/callcenter/helpdesk girl about the actual problem.

Played 3 tourneys yesterday. 5,5 rebuy (invested 10,5$ forgot to make add on ) and busted 82nd (72 payed). Had these key hands http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13809715_B96... Next one I called because of pot odds, not sure but I think it must be fine. I know Im majority of times behind or fliping but my hand have around 40% equity against his top range (which was stronger then hand he acctually had. And with those pot odds I decided to call. If someone wants we could definitely go in depths of that hand. http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13809769_D7F... And I busted with this one, If that other guy folded I would probably fold myself, but it just seemed as good spot to try to take down that pot. Now when I look at it Its probably loose... http://www.boomplayer.com/poker-hands/Boom/13810119_581...

Following your challenge Jovica, good luck.
BTW, you of all people should know that when you get dealt AA by PokerStars, it means their "Random Number Generator" has selected you for a bad beat. Wake up.

When you are dealing with AA it simply means you have a drinking problem, am I right? BTW all three of those hands you boomed are pretty standard, even the 'magic river' one, I am spending less and less time playing MTT nowadays but all three happened with me plenty times even on a single day when I was more active.
