I personally don't think I'm missing very many spots at all since I'm only playing 16 tables; maybe 1 thinnish spot per game? I rarely miss bubble pwning spots and think I adjust well in game to whose behind me to act still. I'm getting less games/hr than I'd like, but it's okay because I'm trying to focus still and make sure I"m playing well....I might build up to 24 tables though not sure

Tyty . It would be, but I just had my backer wire me $'s, just easier that way.

I haven't used my Mexican bank account and don't plan too, just opened it for paperwork for PS.

Light day today since I didn't get much sleep last night and am super tired right now, just busted the SWU a bit ago ITM, rejammed with 33 into Thay3r's AA, oh well. QQ<AQ in the mil for piles, but still hanging in there with 20bb at T400 about 2.5 hrs in. Whenever I finish the mil im done for the day

Its kinda a solid brag to say "only 16". 16 is equivalent to about 25 FR and most people don't even come close to that. I'm not a hater, so please don't make me one . I don't know if you are a relative to Nanonoko, but paying attention to all stack sizes and taking notes on regs playing 24 6M tables is just not possible. Please make a vid sometime when you play for a couple of minutes. It would be awesome to see it in action.

Cheers

Jdawg for Team Pro Online!!! He really draws the white kids who moved to a different country to play poker demographic! (Also I kinda want to see a Jdawg Pro Avatar )

GG man, at least you cashed one in your first Sunday back

Shame about the misunderstanding in the NC thread, we're all behind you, you know that!

It isn't fair, or right IMO, but you will survive, and be back here in a couple days. I'm in skype chat all the west coast hours, usually playing late night donkaments when the Euros are asleep lol

Get some rest tonight, get back after it manana

glgl

hey jd,
i played long time ago the old 2,20 180er with you.
nice progress you´ve made. i´m rlly impressed how you were doin the last few months.
will you aply for team online as Matt mentioned?

looks like OP has a shady past and has been temp-banned for trying to circumvent the rules regarding the marketplace. http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=310

Your 2+2 status is "grinder" but all you can do is grind posts, Jdawg91's threads always been a fun read and he put alot of time and effort updating and answering posters, so dont make fun of yourself, get lost.

from what i hear he's also banned from Parttimepoker for rolling on a stake or something. i dont know how long ago this was but i dont think he'd roll anyone now. he's made a quite a few mistakes but he does seem remorseful.

Josh seems a-ok in my book

Who the hell cares about what he has done in the past???? All that should matter is that he is not the same person as he was back then and is more than legit now. People shouldn't have to carry around all the mistakes they've made in the past. It isn't as if everyone itt is whiter than white irl and on here. It's funny how quickly some people are willing to turn on someone.

<3 for the Jdawg91

lol. Comparing him to Randy Lew is just absurd. They play completely different games.

Playing as many tables as Josh does is not insanely hard; with that said, Josh does it better than most.

It wasn't a direct comparison to Randy if you re-read my post.

My point was, 16 ST tables are not the same as 16 6M CG tables of course, but there are still so many things to pay attention to.

Best day ive had since moving to lock, but look at the ****ing traffic. Im gonna add 20s on 2x vip day, but 2 months ago i could avg 100 games an hour from 5s and 10s only, easily.

You really seem like a hardcore hater. Looks like you don't know the full story though, so you should probably just keep quiet for a bit.

**** haterz, jdawg remains my fellow RB grinder and hero...

Back! Watsup everyone, got a short temp ban but taken care of, no big thing . So after a low volume Sunday, which btw is a horrible idea since the $30s are hella soft so I def won't make that mistake again, I had a planned low volume monday as I knew I had to go into town with my roommate to Banco Santander to open his account. He's gotta go back in to town today, but we got all the paperwork done and he was a lucky SOB and got the guy who speaks good English whereas I had to open my acct in all Spanish which is certainly a lot harder .

Anyhow, we got that done and we decided to hit up El Gerente which is a taco stand a few blocks from the bank that was regarded as good in the Rosarito thread; definitely got a ton of food for how little you paid but it wasn't anything amazing and most likely won't go there again as we usually eat at home since we're 15 mins from town. Then we headed down to Papas&Beer which was a short walk and is on the beach. Had to deal with a LOT of people trying to sell **** to us, was quite annoying but expected. And finally after that, we cabbed it over to Comercial Mexicana and grocery shopped a bit and headed back home.

After getting home, dealt with some 2p2 related stuff as I got unbanned and then just chilled with the roommate and watched the Packers crush!

My plan for today is to get in about 400 games. I've kinda given up hope on getting to 200k VPP, it was going to be a ridiculous grind anyway as I started with 27k VPP's when I got here but I always shoot for the stars. I'd rather just keep studying a ton every day and be ready to absolutely crush 2012.

Here's results from my 300 game sesh yesterday




And overall graph



Gl today everyone


Disorienter, I agree with Zack here pretty much 100% which doesn't come as a shock since I think most of Zack's posts are pretty much spot on. I will say this though, most super turbo grinders on Merge couldn't 20+ table (Idk if anyone has 20+ tabled for long periods of time besides myself and Reasons14) and I was profitable pre RB which is a good enough brag imo, but I did it while playing up to 30 tables during primetime hours.

With that being said, the new dealing speed is pretty crazy with these hypers; it especially affects this game because there's hardly any postflop play. My last about 600 games on PS I've actually moved up to 18 tables and I'm doing that with ease even while heatering which means I'm obv getting to more 3 handed and HU situations than I would while downswinging. I'm thinking there's a good chance I can get up to 22-24 tables by the new year but doubt I'd go higher than that. My main problem is some days my internet is laggy out here and if I'm at 15 tables I can lag/freeze on the reg and still not time out unless it happens a ton and I lose my time banks.

Will also note that I rarely take note's on players while playing because as you said, its pretty impossible. But, I think I study for one more often, and for two, more efficiently, than most other players. I know the other high volume regs games inside and out, I did the same thing when I played on Merge. Now a good reg changes up their game regularly against other regs, but you don't see that happening all that often cuz most regs suck or are playing too many tables to actually do something like that .

I'll make a vid if I ever DL camtasia on this computer which probably won't happen, my laptop had it and I made some quick vids before but this new desktop has basically nothing on it.

Hahaha, Team Pro Online would be the nuts. I'll probably apply for it next year, but doubt I'll get it!

Tyty pyrite, appreciate all the <3

Thx man, I'm pretty happy BF happened as my game wasn't that good up until it, have improved immensely the last few months which is awesome and I'm hoping that I become one of the few SNE SNG grinders that profits pre RB in 2012. The only guys who do profit pre RB at SNG's and play enough to hit SNE (that I can think of) are Spacegravy, Phase89, JasonKobe, and Simakos.

As said to Matt, I will def apply to Team Pro Online next year, but doubt I get it .

Yea I ****ed up a lot when I was 15-17, just like any typical teenager does. If you followed along with my 180 prop in October 2010, everything was talked about in that thread and I just went through it all again yesterday posting it. Since turning of age, I've become one of the more well known 2p2ers and have done a ton of staking and investing as mentioned.

Thx to all 3 of you, appreciate the <3.

. <3 TT

RB ftmfw sir.

Jesus the traffic has gone lower since Merge reopened and 6max double up's were eliminated? That's so ridiculous. Nice day though! Haven't seen you on skype in forever, you should come on some time after 9 or 10pm in between your 2 late sessions as I'm usually done playing by then.

Keep up the good work!! Looking super solid

GL josh. Hope the swongs keep going your way!

I can think of a few more, but ur right there arent many, i be next year one of them plz =]]

Thx man, for all of you who don't know, ILS is finishing up SNE. Hes doing a pretty psycho grind here to finish the year after being wayyyy behind pace. His PG&C is a really good one to follow, I'd highly suggest it.
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/17...-28th-1117217/


Tyty, I hope so too!

Ah yea, forgot about the hyper sattie grinders who make SNE. True true

glgl Josh.

Honestly, if you made SNE next year and profited pre-rb, I think you'd have a legit shot at Team online. You have a big following on 2+2 (this thread is basically a blog) and do quite well in your game of choice. Hell, even if you don't profit pre RB you could still get it because being a winning player isn't exactly a pre-requisite of being a PS Pro.

PROTIP: You should probably win a SCOOP/WCOOP event while you're at it, might help your chances.

Ty sir

Yea I sure hope so. Not gonna worry about Team Online during the year really like some people do, but hopefully my results will speak for themself and I have a shot.

_________________________________________

Put in a short session just now, took a nap earlier as I wasn't feeling well at all. Will probably put in 1 or 2 more sessions tonight and call it a night.

Does anyone want to prop me on me hitting 200k VPP by the end of the year? I'm at 44.3k now and we have 45 days left in the year, so I'd have to play 541 games every single day on avg the rest of the year to hit 200k.




And here's my HEM so you can see how I'm doing so far in terms of games/hr, note that I am playing more tables now than when I first started (was like 12-14 tabling to start, am up to 18 now)

Sure, but he might dump 40k playing heads up 5ks and block his sharkscope
like yourself

Jdawg Screw the hatters man we all make mistakes along the way threw our journey we call life. What's important is we learn from them and move on while becoming a better person. Do Your thing man and tear $hit up at the $30's!

With all of that said if you got a sec to spare, or can one of you other Merge Super regs give me some quick advice please? Trying to go from Busto to Robusto Jdawg style but keeping games registered is a huge pain in the a$$.

I am running both merge keys and stack and tile but missclick to much trying to reg and close the windows please let me know what u other sicko's do to prevent this? I got 2 Monitors wish there was a way to keep the register lobbie and pop up windows on just the 2nd but cant figure out how? Hopefully im just a blind idiot and there is a way to prevent the register windows from joining my Stack grid.

Thanks
