owl_'s fun sng and mtt thread. lets play poker, maybe some friendly bets?

[Shok]

oh my time to hijack, IM IN IM IN, i wanna be in the bet

The $2 sattys are quite good, but i found if u can get a step 2 sit n go to go (3 dollars each) they work better since top 2 get an 11 token, and then u get another chance at the step 2 and step 1's. Called snakes and ladders or something like that

want to make it a bet of total games, or just STTs? would hyper/super turbos count?

If you want to do total games that's fine, as long as hypers don't become your main game lol. I usually just play turbo sngs and mtts, but will throw in some hypers once in awhile. and yeah we can include the bump every 36 hours for added benefit for the winner. and add shok too.

lol i can't see myself ever making hypers my main game (at this point at least). i'm in the same boat as you, only loading them if everything else is absolutely dead.

Fishylol, this bet was a good idea, man! Gives us more incentive to play at no real risk. Except the risk of having a hilarious and/or embarrassing avatar for a month. and maybe we can throw in stats at the end for added zest. Like a # of games, total profit, total roi triple crown

Bout a week until the bet begins, Shok and Fishylol. This will be interesting, methinks.

[owl_]

got the bankroll up to $265.78

going out for a walk. always good to clear your head up after every couple of hours of grinding.

[Shok]

OK so a quick outline of the bet:

Total number of games in July
STT & MTT's count
Hypers and Turbo's count, but not in a huge excessive format

Winner Chooses 2 pics for the 2nd and 3rd place.
Since i do not have a PG&C thread, should i win, the 2nd place finishers thread gets the bump from last place.

sounds good man. one question though. do you run PT3, HEM2, or the Sharkscope HUD? i'm wondering how you'll be able to keep track of all your games.

[Shok]

i use PT4 currently so ill be able to show my games with no problem , i do the normal track analyze game stuff etc, just not a PGC thread

[owl_]

right on, Shok. i haven't used PT4 yet, is it pretty cool? i have PT3, so can i just upgrade for free?

[Shok]

Ye, well they had a Open Beta for it, but that is about to end, when did u purchase PT3, i know newer purchasers get to upgrade free, but older ones have to pay, unsure of pricing tho, but all in all, it is so worth it, HUD is far better, tracking is far better.

Layout is a lot to get used to compared to 3, its not as easily accessible at parts, but a lot more power involved in it, so i think it is worth it.

[owl_]

downloaded PT4 beta yesterday. i spent a few hours last night and this morning configuring it to my liking. really great product from what i've seen so far!

i have been taking it easy the past few days in regards to poker. been catching up on some sleep and clearing my head mostly. i got a massage today, which was nice.

played about 15 games only over the past 3 days. some profit, and my bankroll is currently $271.33

so, i'll be getting ready for a big month of grinding sngs in July! Fishylol, Shok, and i have a friendly avatar-choosing bet for whoever puts in the most volume next month. i know both of them will be worthy opponents, especially after seeing what Fishy has done in his PG&C thread. Shok, have you given any thought to starting one? either way, im looking forward to putting in some major work and trying to take that bet down! and of course, have some fun in the process.

anyways, back the grind. its always easier to be motivated after installing some kickass new software

[owl_]

behold, my first PT4 graph:



as you can see today i had very low volume. made up for it a little by making some $$$ though.

Guess I have to go back to playing some sngs instead of losing all my money in cash.

[Shok]

NoNo keep playing cash, we dont mind , and nice one owl, good to see ya back

As for starting a thread, in all fairness, i cant be bothered with my own haha, i know its lazy, but i just cant even think about writing a summary after my games lol

hahahaha, i knew poker players were lazy but jeeeeeeez

it works both ways, in my opinion. its takes time to update the thread, which could take anywhere from 5-20 minutes. but, the time i spend updating actually helps me to gain a better perspective of my game. plus, it is a great source of motivation for when i'm feeling too lazy to play.

its cool, though Shok. we all have our own preferences when it comes to the online poker grind. are you planning on posting your graphs for next month in this thread? (which is perfectly fine, by the way)
