Crushing Private Games
Hello, 2+2 Community!
Greetings! I'm a 24-year-old poker player based in Eastern Europe. For a little over three years now, I have been deeply immersed in the world of poker. Throughout this journey, I have spent countless hours grinding on various mainstream poker platforms, primarily GG Poker and PokerStars. My experience spans different stakes, but I was particularly active as a regular in the 50-100NL games on both sites, where I encountered a mix of outcomes.
During these past few years, I tried becoming a pro athlete. However, after some reflection, I realized that this wasn't the right path for me. Consequently, I made the conscious decision to shift my focus entirely toward honing my skills and playing solid, strategic poker. I am always eager to embrace new challenges, and I firmly believe that the current opportunity IÂ’ve encountered is a rare one, perhaps one in a thousand. For this reason, I am dedicating myself fully to grinding these app-based poker games, where I plan to play at the 100-200NL stakes.
As long as these games continue to offer the value they currently do, I plan to dedicate a substantial amount of time to playing them. My goal is to maximize the volume of hands I play and take full advantage of the opportunities presented. I also intend to share my progress with you all by posting updates on my results approximately every two weeks.
The last 2 weeks of my grind. I made a lot of mistakes in this sample because I traveled for 1 month before this and I was rusty 😀. My strategy is mostly based on MDA exploits combined with some GTO in some lines where I feel like MDA might be off or if I am facing an atypical player.
I wish you guys all the best and go get that BAG😀.
Welcome to the 2+2 Community! ��
Best of luck at the tables, and may you achieve great success in your poker journey.
We look forward to your updates!
Hi, guys!
This week has been unremarkable; the volume was quite low compared to last week, and I only managed to put in 2.4k hands. We still won a decent amount, but my agent told me he would get me in higher-volume clubs that I could play all day. I am looking forward to this and I hope I will be able to crush those as well.
Hello, guys!
These are the results of my month. The volume was ok, I am still waiting on more clubs that will increase the volume quite drastically.
In terms of my gameplay, I think I played decent. I still have to fix some leaks in my game like 3bet pots OOP, and be a little more focused when playing. I tend to sometimes lose focus and make some mistakes because of this.
be careful with these app games man. even a 1% chance of getting trimmed for all the money you have on-site can seriously affect your results in EV.
keep as little on the sites as possible, can never be sure the money is safe
I usually keep around 10BI on the clubs, I was scammed before so I am really careful with who I work with as my agent and what clubs I play.
This week went super well. The games are getting better since the summer is over. I missed the weekend, though, because I was at a wedding. I am happy with how I played and look forward to the next few weeks.
This week I should get another club with a lot of volume where I will get 50% RB. My goal will still be to put in as much volume as possible. I tink I will be able to get at least 50k hands a month if I am home for the weekends.
Oh I forgot to say that the win rate is 16bb/100 for this week.
This week the volume is improving because I managed to get the club I told you about. This club has quite a high rake but I atm I get 50% rb, probably in 3-4 months I will manage to get a better deal for like 60% rb. On this club, I ran quite badly this week around 8bi under ev but with all of this, I managed to have a wr.
Profit after RB: ~800$
Hi, guys!
I am back with my monthly results:
I am quite happy with my performance last month. I had a week of bad run being 13 BI under EV on one of the clubs but the other held my wr together. During that week I tilled a bit because I had some crazy bad luck but I managed to bounce right back after putting it all in perspective and realizing that I am a winner in these games and that I will start to run decent at some point and I just had to keep a positive attitude.
For next month I want to get roughly 50k hands and improve my win rate by a bit. I can beat these games at a higher win rate if I play my A game more. I know my B game is a winner here as well and that is really good but I want to make sure I get as much A-game time as possible.
Hands : 42K
Profit: 4.8k USD
Win Rate: 7.6bb
What stakes are you playing? 20NL?
Best of luck at the tables. Subbed.
Edit: I thought your win rate was $474 not 4.4k obviously not 20NL ... but yeah, what stakes? 200NL, 500NL?
Mostly 200 NL. I am filling my table limit with 100NL if I don't find enough. I want to grow my br in order to play 500NL by the end of this year.
I know I have been inactive here, but is time for an update.
In the last few months, I have focused solely on studying and improving my game. I am now a regular on 500NL with a preatty decent win rate over all.

I will start posting regular updates again:
1. I am looking to increase my volume drastically. For the last few months, I played 15-20k hands a month, and I want to be back to my normal 50k.
2. I want to study the pool a bit better and have more exploits that I can use.
3. I will grind 100NL on one of the clubs where I have 50% flat RB and a quite good leaderboard.
4. I want to find more 500NL opportunities because ATM I am grinding all the 500 that is available on my clubs, but is quite low volume.
April Goals:
Due to a lack of volume ATM in some of my clubs, I will be forced to play less 200-500 (I will play all the decent tables that have at least 1 recreational, I expect around 15k hands).
Besides this, I will grind 1 club that has a lot of 100NL action with an excellent LB where I will be playing ~45k hands this month. I expect to have an hourly rate of around 70-80$ (ofc depending on the quality of play).
1. Play 15k hands 200- 500NL
2. Play 45k hands 100NL for the LB
3. Train BJJ 3-4 days a week
4. Go to the normal GYM 2 days a week and train full body
5. Get into a routine with my poker coaching
Hi, I posted a new YT video! https://youtu.be/Bybonx_onxQ?si=Rn8X-25S...
I want to make weekly YT videos and would appreciate feedback on what series I should start.
1. MDA concepts
2. GTO concepts
3. Top 3/5 Mistakes/Things you should do as a Pro Poker player
4. Hand reviews
5. Live coaching
I would appreciate it if you could tell me what interests you most!
First week of April Update:
This first week was kinda uneven. My run has been quite bad, and my play was mostly a B game. I think I was a bit too passive, and I was overfolding a bit vs some recreationals. I also played a sesh today that I shouldn't have, I have pretty bad allergies, but I still decided to play even tho my Goal was 15k hands a week (and I had that).
My goal for next week is to play more of my A game now that I am used to playing this much, and I think it will be easier. I will make sure I feel good and take my allergy medication to feel at my best (stupid of me to not quit the sesh and go buy them, but oh well we live and we learn 😀)).
Profit on the tables: -320$
Profit after RB: +500$
Hands: 17k
Hi, I posted a new YT video regarding some Preflop exploits for GG Rush and Cash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aI80JgL...
Second week of April Update:
At the beginning of the week, I was pretty sick, so I had to take some days off, but after that, my run was really good. My game was decent, played some B game and some A game especially today.
My goal for next week is to up my volume a bit and reduce the number of tables I play each time ( I usually play 10-12). I want to play 8-9 and play more focused.
Profit on the tables: +1950$
Profit after RB: ~+2250$
Hands: 8.2k
Win rate: 11bb
Guys, I started offering coaching a while ago. If you are interested in my MDA approach, and would like to learn how to max exploit the pool here is the link to that:
Hi, I posted a new youtube video regarding tilt and how to break free from the cycle of tilt. Go check it out:
Third week of April:
My H2N is ****ed. They updated it, and now I will have to pay $ $50 a month for it (which is quite a lot considering PT4 is way cheaper, and at the moment, I don't need to make any MDA). I moved my week's database to PT4.
This week was quite decent. I played solid most of the time, with a B+ game most days. Next week, I want to set up some study blocks in my schedule. For the last month, I was mostly grinding and coaching. I am trying to learn some more GTO because there are some decent regs on 500 and because I want to shoot and take 1k on one of the clubs in the near future.
Plus, I want to improve my volume. I missed some days due to the Easter holiday.
Profit on the tables: +1050$
Profit after RB: ~+1500$
Hands: 7.2k
Win rate: ~6-7bb
(Let me know how to combine multiple player profiles on PT4 I have no idea 😀 )
Plus, this is Today, I ran like **** vs a 98/70 whale on 500. Time to turn it back around this week.
Fourth week of April:
This week started off quite badly (was down 1.5k Monday), but we managed to pull it back. I think my play was decent, mostly B game plus some A game. I took a small shot at 1k for like 30 hands before the recreational left the table.
For next week, I want to keep this volume going and focus on the 500NL. This week I started studying again, and I think it helped a lot with motivation and feeling good about my game. I will keep doing that.
I also want to increase the quality of my YouTube videos because I feel like I can do much better, and I want to focus more on high-quality content.
For the last weeks, I think I found a really good balance between coaching, playing, studying, and going to the gym. I am really happy because of this.
Profit on the tables: +1100$
Profit after RB: ~+1750$
Hands: 11k
Win rate: 11bb
Gl in your grind will be following!
Small update:
I want to work on not feeling guilty when I take a day off. Yesterday I had quite an intense BJJ training session, and today I decided to sleep a little bit more, but after that I just jumped into playing, and it was a bad decision. I was feeling out of it, but I kept playing (I lost only 1.5 BI) because I felt a bit guilty about taking an unnecessary break. From now on I will asses my mentaaal staate and if I feel like **** I will take the day off with no remorse.
