I never really played too much on the internet but i did try awhile ago to actually grind hard but gave up pretty qucikly. I am hoping that making this thread will help me to get back on the grind and actually do something with the pokers other than donate. With that said here are my goals for the rest of july and august.

July goals:

Volume: 100 gmaes per day minimum(this should be easy but im no mass tabler yet but hopefully i can be soon)

ROI: 5%. Dunno if this is too far outta reach but i am hopeful that i can do this.

SNG LB: i would like to say i will make top 100 even tho that makes me no moneys really its a goal for me to obtain and then sets the tone for next month.

August goals:

TBA

GL at the tables everyone

GL
100 games a day on merge is rough.. hope you can grind 15+ tables at one time and even so you gotta play like 7 hours a day at least lol

Well first day on the grind and I started late in the day didn't think i would hit my volume goal but i got there

Volume: 103 games played

ROI: FAIL -10.7% but only down $14 buks so not so bad ran bad in a few spots on the bubble just not holding but that will turn around with volume i believe

SNG LB: Have to get to top 1k before i know how many points i got and so on but it is a work in progress.

its midnight here so im hitting the bed and i'll be back at it tomorrow.

what games & stakes you playing op?

100 games a day doesn't take playing 15 tables. Depending on what type of SNG he is playing, (let's assume a FR DON for fun) he'd have to grind 6-8 tables for around 8 hours. Most SNG's are 30 mins or less, hence where I came up with 6-8 tables. I grind 6 max turbo DON's on Lock doing 4-8 tables and I clear 100 no problem in about 7-10 hours. (again, depends on speed and traffic) GL OP. As some one else asked, what games are you actually playing?

I am playing the $1-$2 with the occasional $5 6 max hypers so 100 games a day isn't much at all. I play 6-12 tables at the moment but hoping to work my way up to 16-24 when/if that many games are running. Also trying to decide which format i like better with there being the new format in there.

Isn't lock no longer with merge?

lock is no longer with merge, they are revolution now, where have you been?

sleeping i was in hibernation before deciding to come back and play online pokerz. I was going by the comment he said he got them on lock so i was just confirming what i was thinking

gl at the tables today everyone

Today was an all around fail for me.

22 games were all that i got to play today. I ended up being called away from the house for a minor emergency so i didnt get in the volume i wanted but I will try to catch it up tomorrow

the only good part about this short session is i ended up almost back to even making 14.52 in profit.

I am now overall down 2 cents for my grind so far and plan on making up some cash tomorrow getting in hopefully 150 games

GL at the tables everyone

I could see this thread becoming awesome in the near future.

Best of luck, OP!

Thank you owl I hope so too. Tomorrow will be the test if i can easily get in 150 games and profit before working an 8 hour shift at work then i have a good chance in august of hitting a spot in the leaderboard. as long as there is enough traffic i shouldn't have too much trouble

So yesterday was another fail pretty much. Finding it hard to grind for the leaderboard when i cant see how many points i have as they only show the top 1000 ive been told. come august hopefully things will change and i can grind more and more.

Heres my stats for yesterday:

56 games played and made $4.34 in profit

total played so far this month

181 played with 4.32 profit so far. I do have RB and I am trying to figure out how to check that but having issues navigating it but im sure ill figure it out eventually

Tomorrow i will do some grinding and will also be playing the micro millions tourneys and a few others hopefully grinding 8-12 tables of sngs well im at it.

BINK!!!!

just hit a 4 streak and moved into the top 1000 on the LB

Nice work! Were you able to make it 5+? 4 is my personal best on Merge, also.

I was 12 tabling when i did it so no. I cant wait for the new month to start so i can feel like i have a chance at the LB. its nice to see that in 200 tourneys tho i jumped into the top 1000 players. august goals for me are gonna be pretty fun and hard to hit if i dont work hard at them.

gl at the tables everyone see you all tomorrow
