keep it up man, great job!

Pretty funny sequence of post

If you know literally nothing about drugs, why would you want to make a comment like this? Acid is by far my favorite drug in the world, it is also the drug I have done the least in my life. It does not lend itsself to addiction for a variety of reasons. So don't say you are not gonna preach when you are so obviously preaching.

I am curious how you came to the conclusion that this woman is probably a net negative in my life? She comes over to my place about 3 to 4 nights a week. She cooks for me, she does my laundry and we play chess together. How in heaven's name that could ever be a net negative is beyond me? Like what the **** are you even saying?

I have a safety net, that's true. However the reason I put in only about 8k hands is because most of the time I have played only two tables. Looking at my HEM stats I actually put in 39.4 hours in the last week. That does not include all of the time is spent setting up my ranges and the few hours I've spent coaching 2 guys

I never said I was gonna grind sick volume and 24 hour days. But I find it interesting that this topic has been mostly very quiet, till one negative post comes by. Then all of a sudden people line up to say their bit. I never went into poker to work 60 hour weeks. I would say that I have put in about 45 to 50 hours of dedicated poker time since the start of this topic. I am fairly sure that is more than most of you have put in since then.

Thank man, I will definitely keep going strong. Have the feeling this topic could grow into an epic one. Comeback Jack is in da house!

Exactly what I was thinking. 2 posts were rather uninformed, but in all honesty I would've expected way more negative remarks than I have gotten so far. All in al this topic is still a net positive, like the girl she is here to stay for the foreseeable future.

aah ffs, converter doesn't show second board where I river a straight on him

You know literally nothing about me, so why would you assume something like that? No worries bud I'm just a dude who went down a similar road but you seem to have all your **** together with everything figured out so best wishes I predict nothing but smooth sailing.

If I remember correctly he was on rehab for prescription painkillers right? So to lump together this kind of drug category with the category acid is in, really is foolish. Therefore op does not have to know anything about you, if you make such a claim. Acid is the kind of drug that can even make you conscious about your bad habits, similar to shrooms.

I don't like your sarcastic tone and your knowitall attitude. Your remark about acid and my history with addiction speaks volumes when it comes to your knowledge about drugs and addiction.

I was physically addicted to painkillers due to a chronic medical condition that requires me to take pain meds. After I was finally pain free I had to detox off my pain meds in order to lose that addiction. It had nothing to do with being a junkie, or having a lack of self control when it comes to drug use.

I've used more drugs in my life than most men, but I have never been addicted to recreational substances. Acid is a drug unlike any other, now I am not talking about the psychological effects that it has, because explaining that to you would be like explaining colour to a blind man. But acid is one of the very few drugs that build up an instant tolerance. Take acid 3 days in a row and by day three you won't feel a ****ing thing.

But you are absolutely right, in a way I am addicted to acid. I have been since I was 15 years old. I turned 31 yesterday and I have done acid exactly 12 times in my life. I am even so addicted that I can safely say that I will probably keep on using acid just about once a year for the rest of my life.

Now please, do me a favor and just keep your nasty attitude at the door next time you check my topic. Otherwise just find another thread to rail. I am really not looking for people to make a fool out of themselves here.

So when do you plan to up your table count/hands an hour count?

Wishing you the best, sorry if I came off in a bad way. I do know from personal experience how easy it is to squander life even with you have things you need to do at that exact moment. A 40 hour grind week with studying on top is impressive and a good start, gl gl.

I am not thinking about upping the table count. I have mixed in 2nl zoom for a while now, but see no solution in that either. I don't think I can come close to the hourly I make on regular tables.

On that note I must say that I am a bit frustrated at the moment. Not gonna post beats as it serves nobody, but the last 2k hands I have played the best poker of the challenge so far. I've also lost the most. I will keep at it for one more week to not just quit at the first sight of adversity. But I am strongly considering to just quit and start working with the stable mentioned earlier itt.

See the updated screenshots, included the overall tab so you guys can confirm my hours. That I really am not a lazy drug addict like some of you thought I was.




The ever so gradual decent into oblivion.

Just read the thread, good luck to you. I feel you about wanting to do it yourself even at 2NL to 'do it the hard way'.

When I tried to grind 5NL a while back (cash is not for me) - I felt like I noticed massive playerpool style changes at different points in the day, if I played between 10am-3pm GMT then it felt super nitty and my bb/100 was much lower than if i played between like 4pm-10pm GMT. You noticed anything similar? I got the impression you could definitely improve your winrates massively by playing at different times of the day - unfortunately I could only play around mid-day most days so went back to SnGs

We had a good day today, started the session with a fish dumping off to me in a 2plo game. Then he wanted to play 10plo for his last 20 bucks and also dumped that to me. So we went from a 38$ roll to just over 70$ in a short sprint.

Now that I am properly rolled for 2nl, I decided to up the table count as it doesn't really increase my RoR anymore. So started playing 4 tables of regular 2nl and did fairly well. Also ran exceptionally well when trying to rep a set into topset on 985 in a threebet pot with TT. River T!!!! All in all we are at a BR highpoint since the challenge started, so that's very good. Let's see if we can keep this up tomorrow.



The graph is on the up, still 5bi short from my highest winning point on 2nl. Decided to leave the PLO shot out of it, because it give an unfair few of my progress.

Not gonna say much about today, didn't play much and played horrible. Made two huge hero calls with ace high and top pair bottom kicker vs a huge spewfish. Don't think they were terrible, but they weren't big moneymakers either and I should have just avoided the variance.

Might post the hands later, but I'm a bit on tilt now and don't want to look at them again right now.

Is there anybody out here knowledgeable about which places are best to play micro stakes cash? Really fed up with stars and the eastern European army of 15/13/2 nits

There is virtually no rakeback and I have pretty much played on the most ****ty websites over the course of my career. So really don't see any use in sitting around on stars playing the micros in a see full of nits and bots.

Depends how critical tracking hands is to you - Unibet and Sky are super soft, no bots as you can't use HUD etc.

I don't really care at all about using HEM. It helps in making this thread somewhat worth the time wasted on reading it, but I am not against playing on a site that doesn't allow tracking software.

I have a beef with Sky where I asked them to perma close my account and I am too proud to go back on that. Will check Unibet out, haven't played there in like 5 years.

Anyway, I played an early morning session. Have some fun activities with the misses today and will most likely put in a late night session later. We managed to recover some of yesterday's losses

My positional stats, not anything special but thought I'd share.



Here's how the overall winrate is looking:



And here we have the only real pic, the garphz. Am thinking of requesting my old HHs from stars and to run a graph over my total volume. Think it would be quite hilarious to see.

Someone who has a 100nl/200nl stake available "virtually anytime" shouldnt be having trouble with micros to the point they are looking to change sites lol. Be honest with yourself

Not sure what makes you think I'm having trouble with them? It's just so far from optimal to play on stars vs the eastern european army, when I can just switch to another site and play vs an army of punters.

It's not too hard to beat 15/12 nits, but it is hard to win a lot of money off of them. That's why I am considering moving to another site. If you mistake that fact for me "having trouble with the micros". Then you probably do not understand poker all that well.

Anyway, an old time friend is coming over this weekend. He's a full time MTT player and we'll be playing a weekend schedule together. We'll be playing at Pokerstars, 888, Winamax, Party, Ipoker and Pokerstars.es. I'll be playing on his dime with 50% of my own action. Awesome shot at binking a score to line my pockets with some much needed cash. Then Monday we'll be flying to Ibiza to relive the old times. So this topic will most likely be quiet from Monday till Thursday.

Today however is completely dedicated to me having trouble at beating the micros. Hopefully someone can send a lucky 1$ to RealKidPoker for me so I have some rungood. Maybe you HORUS?

Tournaments are lame!

Had a bunch of semi deep runs and got 3rd in a small 22$ after getting 2 outered for nearly all the chips 4 handed. Tomorrow we'll do a turbo session so we can go out for some drinks after. Sunday is gonna be total carnage though. I expect to run like god and bink at least a 5 figure profit. After the profit split obviously!

Plans have slightly changed due to some bad timing with my smart caffeine intake. Decided to change up the plan and put in a late night sesh and then go day drinking. So no turbo MTT session tonight, but we'll hit the sack early so we can start our Sunday grind early.

A bit akward to sit next to your buddy who you've come up with from 50nl, with him playing 2k PLO while I'm grinding 2nl. But in the end I was the only one up for the day, so I'm gonna needle him about that all day.

We did fairly well, ran extremely well and made 1 sick hero fold. All in all very confident in my game and absolutely certain I'll hit the 100$ mark way before the end of the month. Currently the roll is at 95$, not counting the current profit from MTTs. Won't be counting that at all, as I am going to use any profits I keep from this weekend towards intoxication in Ibiza.

That moment when you realize you are having difficulties beating the micros and you need to move to another site to remain profitable.



We've no officially passed our profit peak by approx 1,5bi. Will start at 5nl when the roll reaches 100$ and fall back to 2nl after we lose 4bi.



Alright, now it is time for drinks! Put in mad volume since Friday and haven't slept for over 24 hours. So getting ****faced should not be much of a problem.

VAMOS!

The food supply is on its way and we are all set to do great things. I have won the Sunday Million before and I can do it again goddamnit!!!!!

Rungood tune for the journey:

Whooooooo!!!

chop a 10r for 2.3k
3rd in a sunday major for 12k
1st in a 50 six max for 3k

IBIZA HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!!!

Totally dead now, haven't grinded this long without any real breaks for years. This day couldn't have gone better in my dreams! Don't understand how people do this every week, these kind of Sundays would kill me.

I'm off to bed, I took a shot at 5nl while having my last few tables open and instantly lost 4bi. So when we come back it's gonna be back to battle at the micros. Will most likely move over to Partypoker, but I will decide that when I get back.

Catch ya'll on the flipside!!!!!

Abso-****ing-lutely destroyed!!! Waiting at the airport as we made a mistake with our flight time and arrived 3 hours too early. So will use this time to give you guys the lowdown on the trip.

After my pretty succesful Sunday we decide to reroute our flights. Where we first planned to fly via Barcelona, we were now going to fly via Amsterdam. This was set up so we could meet up with a well known supplier of party vitamins. Time was short, as we only had a 3,5 hour layover in Amsterdam.

We contact the dealer and have him gather the supplies. We acquire a two person week long party pack. 5 grams of weed, 5 grams of coke, 4 Kamagra tablets, 2 grams of ketamine and 4 grams of MDMA each. Since I had an awesome Sunday, and was backed by my buddy I picked up the bill. Luckily this dealer is an avid poker player, so I could pay him on stars. Got a very reasonable price quoted and delivery was swift. We use my oldschool technique of getting drugs past airport security and before we know it we are now international drug smugglers. Anything better than getting ripped off by bouncer drug dealers selling ibuprofen for 15euros a pill!

We arrive at the hotel and it's mindblowing. My buddy was generous and smart enough to book us seperate rooms, so we could try and hustle pussy without one of us having to hang back while the other bangs his brains out. We arrive just in time for dinner, and as we sit down two sweethearts from Switzerland come sit next to us.

After dinner we decide to go for predrinks at the pool bar where the **** really pops off. One of the girls gets cheeky after a few drinks and whispers in my ear that she needs a **** before we go clubbing. I drag her up to my room, bang my brains out for 15 minutes and then do a few lines of coke off her enormous tits. She get's out to her room to get ready and I jump in the shower. Since hot water feels so intense when on a coke buzz I was standing there for a good 20 minutes when I hear a loud knock on my door. Fully expecting it to be my buddy I open the door butt naked (we go way back) and it turns out it's the other girl. She was told by her friend I had coke, and was really in the mood for a bump. Long story short, before she puts some white up her nose she first put some white down her throat. I jokingly say that coke isn't free and she basically instantly gets down on her knees. At this point I am already suffering from quite the coke dick so I was extremely surprised to see her be so succesfull. She bums a line or two and ****s off.

I go next door to pick up my buddy, we both take a hefty lick of the MDMA and head downstairs. We grab a taxi with the girls and head out for a night of raging and raving. We hang out at this beach club style venue and nearly go through a full gram of MDMA through the night. Where normally on my wildest nights I would take like 500/600mg max. Around 6am I lose my buddy to this Ethiopian beauty and I take the two girls with me in the cab to the hotel. On our way back the girls start complaining about my buddy and how he went for that girl. I tell them to fear not and that I will **** them both. At first they are a bit sceptic because they don't want to **** together, but when I put it out there that I already had my willy inside both of them the reluctantly agreed.

We arrive in my room, I pop a Kamagra and we smoke a joint together to wait before it kicks in. We put the joint out at around 15 minutes shy of 8am and I think I collapsed of total sexhaustion at around 1.30pm. When I wake up at around 8pm both of the girls are gone. I guess they flew out that day, because I never saw them again. That night we head out for dinner and then decide to take it easy that night. We head back to our room and do a bunch of ketamine while we grind youtube and do omaha flips.

The next day was more epic, but not sure I want to tell much about it. Some people involved in that story are also inside the poker world and I don't want them to read this thread and risk losing my anonimity.

Anyway, I'll be on my way back home and will be getting back on the grind hard. I really feel super energized and motivated to once again make it in poker. There are still hunderds of thousands of dollars to be won and I am more hungry than ever! My next update will have a ton of hands played, a move up in stakes and hopefully a very very good result.

I hope this story was somewhat entertaining. If this was well liked, I might share more of these kind of stories in the future. For now I will keep the next few updates poker related, as we are still piss poor and we have moves to make!

I think that if they read this thread based on the fact you probably mentioned something to them about the night before then they will probably already have a lock on your identity...

Humm fair point, although I don't remember discussing our previous night. But just the description of two poker players meeting two other poker players in Ibiza is already quite the giveaway. Dunno, will focus on poker for now.

Already put in sick volume. Played with great confidence and 14 tabled 2nl so as to get the BR to 100 as soon as possible. That happened fairly quickly. Moved up to 5nl where again I snap lose almost 4bi. Move back down to 2nl and once I noticed I had the BR at 105$ I moved back up. That shot finally had some succes. After that I was completely exhausted, played well over 10k hands and needed a break.

Miss sexy is coming over to do a few loads of laundry and throw her legs in the air while I pretend not to have had sex for a week. Wish me luck boys!

From now on I will also include the 5nl hands in the graph. So the graph will start to look a little funny.

Played pretty decent if I may say so. A little tighter because I was super busy, but my game did not change much.



We are on the up and up now boys! Let's keep this up. New target is to get the roll to 200$ by the end of the month. Current roll is at 130$ That would mean I have to win 1bi per day on 5nl for the rest of the month. That seems totally doable.
