Finished my first 10k had a break even 5k spell, some bad beats and some less than optimal play from me

Still in though

yup, doing fine!

People who are not running bad appear to be 98% less likely to post a graph with their EV line on.

PS current target... hit the 15K hand mark by the close of November.

Currently -$53.40 through 3535 hands of Stud (all varieties).
Graph (as best I can get in from Poker Tracker Stud):

If anyone is more familiar with PTS & can tell me how to get a better graph (in terms of the actual graph, not necessarily how to play stud better, though that might also be useful), it would be appreciated!

Some observations:
I think I will struggle to get through the volume for a number of reasons.
- Generally finding it difficult to play long and/or multiple sessions in the same day
- Tough to play any more than 6 tables simultaneously
- Stud hands take much longer to play out than holdem hands, so hands/hour is much less than others
Having said that, I will still aim to play as many hands as I can in the three months of the challenge, even if I don't make the 50k volume requirement.
Generally speaking, the games are good, although I still find myself in difficult spots from time to time ... or just run/play badly far more often than I would like!

still in, got about 14K done and up 280, chasing some EV like allways though.

still in. don't know where i'm at. don't care where i'm at. down a bit or up a bit. the suspense is not killing me. a few thou away from 10K however, and that's my main worry. 3 tabling madness tonight. yes. 3 entire tables. it's insanity!

3 tabling madness tonight. yes. 3 entire tables. it's insanity!

LOLOL. good luck. Really hard to get the volume in 3 tabling but worth a try.

start 6 tabling to put some volume. Only 4k hands atm
At least i run hot!!!

Finished 20k hands, had to move back down to 10NL, had my first royal flush just now.

Interesting 24 hours.

Played like 43k hands so far.

LOLOL. good luck. Really hard to get the volume in 3 tabling but worth a try.

tried to 4 table on bodog tonight. disconnecting every 5 minutes. and yes, i had AA postflop one time. painful... hope it's just something related to the holidays.

I'm sticking to my strategy of not busting by not playing. So far it's working. Don't know if I'm on pace to make the deadline though.

Hoping to be done by Monday, we'll see if something comes up though.
