OK so only like 20 games played so far today and I need 60 minimum.

Going to wish my gran (93) happy birthday then I have 3 or 4 hours to make the games.

Should not be a problem. Things starting to turn around I feel.

WILL post graph later.

• Good MTT results
• Ship a Big/Sunday Major?
• Enjoy poker
• Hit the gym regularly

Our goals are virtually the same. Except I won't be playing as many MTTs. Do you play MTTs on the side of your SNGs, or trade off sessions between MTTs and SNGs? What kind of MTTs do you game select?

GL. I don't play much 6-max so I can wish you luck. If we played the same games I wouldn't be such a good sport. Ask anyone who plays with me.

Solid redline, now increase that volume!
Wanna VPP-race for motivation? I'm on sth like ~270k pace, aim is 200k actually but 300k should be possible.

See PM, gl gl.

hey

I often play MTTs on the side of my sngs yes. OFten it will be 4ish MTTs and 5ish STTs. When im going for real volume and VPPs the MTTs drop off - like now. Even now I will try and play MTTs most sundays as I'm in dont leave my comp mode.

Game selecting mtts is not my strongest point (I play sunday 6max over sunday milli) I like the rebuys and stuff (and deep stacks). I try and not play turbos. Essentially though, I do not game select MTTs, just try and keep to a certain ABI ($15-20).

Thanks for the good luck wishes, I hope you meet your goals this year like I plan to

I was afraid someone would ask me that I'm on 16k (shudder). NO way near pace, but I will still head for it.

    What do you think the softest days are for your games? I just started playing Sundays again two weeks ago; I always took them off during NFL season, but now they seem pretty soft. At a minimum, the higher stakes games run more often, like the $30s and $60s, which is nice. Don't notice much difference any other day.

    I guess its the weekends, but in all honestly I have never ever, adjusted my schedule to accommodate these "soft days/times" playing 30-60 I don't think that I play high enough to have to select that seriously. There are always enough soft games for me.

    Playing 100s+ though, I would be selecting like a biatch.

    I think that all days of the week produce great games. Certain times of the day can be "reg fests" other times can be just the best games imaginable. But I have not noticed a pattern as yet. I just play

    I'm pretty sure weekends are the softest for any stt game type (probably for all kinds of online poker games), simply because a good bunch of the grinders with high volume take their time off (like ppl with other jobs) and more recs got time to play. Just a trade-off against having time for common activities with ppl who are mainly or only free on weekends, I'd not be willing to plan my sessions around what's the softest time for exactly that reason.
