Exploit Donks: $100 to $1k challenge Day One

My first day of the challenge. Confidence was at its peak multi tabling a $5 1.5k gtd. sickly busting out of my $3 HU with the blinds at 25/50 AsJd OTB raising PF and sitting with 1.3k I raise 150, get called, Flop (5h,7c,Jc) he leads out 200, (pot 300) i raise him up to 500 and he flat called turn K d i check he shoves. so now i'm thinking of his calling range on the flop ( any club including Kq but i'm short and i'm willing to take the risk if he is semi-bluffing other clubs) I call and see his cards 5c 8c leaving him with 13 outs and 26 % to win.

$100 to 1k challenge- End of Day one

I had a good session today ending my first with $659 and bagging myself 1st place in the 2k. I learned from mine and myself and my friends' experiance that you need to manage. Because no matter how good you are if you don't manage YOU WILL EVENTUALLY BUST! join me on my next session and keep up to date with the challenge.
I'm Phil AKA ExploitDonks and have a good day!

ExploitDonks $100 to 1k challenge day two Things go bad with bad management!

TBS is what i'm thinking! I stepped out of my manageing rules out of frustration which is a key reason why people bust. I started out the day playing an $18 6 max sng, a $12 Hu sngs x2 and a $5 tourney 1.5k gtd after an hour i busted out of both hus back to back on the top right I had JJ and same time bottom right i had KdJh with blinds on both tables @ 100/200 i had to make a move at both tables. i get shoved on both, On my top right i'm up against A 4 os (he flops an ace) and on my bottom right i'm ap against KcJs (he hits a 4 card flush spades).

ExploitDonks $100 to 1k challenge day 2 conclusion

Hello again.
I have made a conclusion, I am now going to play 50/1 cash games at a low buyin and tourneys! I feel that Sngs are big drag and that MTTs and Cash games are going to be more profitable for me. thank you

ExploitDonks $100 to 1k challenge day 2 End right play in the 10k??

Playing only tourneys and cash games i'm ending todays session with a - which is very disapointing and a question for you readers. Do you think i made the right play in the $10 buyin 10k GTD you have a tight image with a stack of 4800 blinds on the BB100/200 3 limpers UTG +3 Button and SB do you think shoving 84 os is a right play? as of it is dead money??
Bankroll $492

Exploit Donks: $100 to $1k challenge End of day 2 $50k Sat Win

Started out doing very badly Losing a lot due to bad bankroll management. When my bankroll reached $200 I started to go down limits because i didn't want all that hard work to go down the drain. Started playing $10 buyin tourneys and Sats I won a sat to the $50k $109 buyin which i am playing now if i win this i will have a nice healthy 10k in my back pocket. Wish my good luck people. I am now not playing any games with a bigger buyin that than a $10 buyin !!
Wish me luck

How to play AK Limp or raise?

'A lot of people tend to flat call AK PF to a UTG raise which is such a bad move in Nl Holdem in my opinion. I totally agree with card players 'A mathematical look at playing AK in No Limit Holdem'
