Ty all.

Im taking my first real break for longer then 1 day this year. Did not play today and not gonna play tomorrow and sunday. Really needed it after I had 3 consecutive losing days of 30 100 and 20 buyins (which you can see in the graph of the OP all ready). =[ Im a bit busy with school anyways, so its all good.

I have reviewed some, and played my usual game so shouldnt be too worried... but we all are when we are downswinging :@


Sitting at 190k vpps now, actually wanted to make 250k after the first two months but it will probably be around 230k.

Plan is to volume down in March as I have exams and have to learn and such, so probably around 40-50k vpps in march and get the average back at 100k/month after April.

re: Grinding SNEx2+ in 2013

Im just curious how much it affects your social life doing SNE in school. What are your classmates thinking about it / do you have any schoolmates also playing poker and knowing ur such a sicko? I guess its really hard to get everything in line and also have a nice social life isnt it? ( you do not have to answer those questions, im just curious how much time you spend off the computer )

obviously good luck from me!

It is def hard. In january I kinda only played poker and did schoolwork, but then i paced twice SNE pace. 80k vpp a month and a more normal life is doable. I only told one of my friends at school the ins and outs of what I do and make but most just know i make some money playing online poker.

Im currently in my 2nd year of Business Administration and got two years done of Econometrics. Plan is to get both done in the end but Econometrics absorbs too much time for me to play poker

re: Grinding SNEx2+ in 2013

#1: Change

The first part of my journey to SNE is complete. I've hit the 200k vpp and will play less games from now on for several reasons,

I'm one of the guys who tries to hit SNE with school and sadly, I'm gonna have to study my ass of to get my grades from the 2nd semester!

Also, I was going on a self destructive path of playing --> running bad at high stakes --> depressing --> playing slightly worse --> winning less. I am 1.3 million chips below EV in 18mans this year which should account for something, but still my winrate is not as good as I want it to be.

Results so far:


but even without highstakes u see a graph flattening a bit due to runbad but also playing marginally worse:



Soo, Im currently at 200k vpp, and the plan is to be at 250-275 on 1 april. Going forward I will grind less, take more breaks, study and do other stuff. Probably only touching the highstakes if I start to run good at the lower ones again.

Boring report I guess, but thats all. Ohh, I did berate a few regs but luckily the few regs who have read this and were at my table didnt screenshotted my chat =].

You should give yourself no chance at berating people at all. It gonna help you faster and going to be better for the game in general. I used to do that too and it definitely helped my game to stop doing it.

GL GL with everything, def jealous on your ability to grind so much.

Yep, I know, but some regular, a pretty terrible one at that started to berate a fish that plays alot of 18man when the fish was crying in the chat. Pocket2Chris told him to shyt up and donate his money quietly.
