ughhh

slept in + and hung over

JOSH how do you do it?! Wish i had the grind ability that you possess, I'm up to 15 tables of hypers now, but you 24 table somehow. so unreal bud. I noticed when im playing MTT SNGs i can 30+ table buy my games starts to lag/hang, if I can 30 table those you must be able to 40-50 table them. I doubt you play them often, do you?

How do you split up your day, grind the fk out of hypers then play some MTTs + a smaller amount of hypers for the big BINK?? I mean after you've "earned" a good amount of VPPs you'll feel good, regardless of daily results. Or perhaps, you grind both variations from the start? I would assume your hourly is highest when your only playing one form of poker, what do you believe?

oh btw, more thread savers IMO

Ola gents,

Off to a late start today, woke up super late then jumped right into railing phishman deep in the 55 2x. Unfortunately he got 16th , gg buddy.

Have put in 1 sesh of ~150 games, just put some food in the oven, gonna eat and study a bit and then get back on the grind. Today might be a bit of a fail since Saturday night traffic is usually dismal, might just relax once games drop off tonight because iirc I tried grinding last Saturday night and I only got Fing 40 games in 1 hr of loading; will just see how badly they drop off and decide.

Gl this weekend everyone!

Haha hangovers are the worst, luckily I don't get them often no matter how much I drink. Good to see you're up to 15 tables, I think there's only a handful of reg's at hypers that do more than that. And yea, if I'm just playing like 45s/180s/mtt's I can 40 table with ease, 50 gets a bit tough but I don't really play any MTSNG seshes anymore

In terms of my own schedule/setup, I've been trying to find the right balance of how many/which MTT's to add because I do grind my hypers and MTT's together and won't really ever change that. I tried mixing in some reg speeds with turbos and the reg speed's just don't work at all imo. I think I've finally got the "right" set of MTT's to add with my sessions though.

9:30: $54 TKO 20k
9:30: $11 turbo 20k
10:15: $25 hyper 2.5k
10:30: $16.50 turbo 12k
11:30: $4.40 turbo 10k
12:00: $5.50 turbo 20k
12:30: $27 TKO 4k
1:15: $25 hyper 2.5k
2:00: $7.50 turbo
2:30: $16.50 turbo 27k
2:45: $25 hyperr 2.5k
2:45: $11 turbo 10k
3:00: $27 TKO 10k
3:15: $44 turbo 15k
5:30: $13.50 TKO 7.5k
5:45: $8.80 turbo 8k
6:00: $11 turbo 8.5k
If I grind way later into the night, Id add the $5.10 hyper, $23.45 hyper, $27 TKO and $27.50 turbo 8k

edit: forgot the 1r 3x and 2x turbos, I add those 3 in as well

I think this is a good combo of very high value (soft field+good payouts) and also will keep that MTT table count down, it gets tough if I hit 4+ mtt's up at once.

Also, one thing that is especially true at ST's/Hypers is that players that are good at other forms of game will drop in from time to time, and while these people don't tend to be huge losers, they are frequently not quite as solid as somebody that grinds the same game every day of the week.

Josh has to play like 155,000 games to reach SNE. This mean's he has to invest like $5,000,000 to make a 6-digit profit. It's a really good deal in the sense that he has a high rate of success given his skill, but when you look at things from this perspective, it's not too difficult to see why a handful of guys will be able to eek out a nice profit when the have to invest a tremendous amount to do so.
Good post Zack, will let you handle any other responses on the topic imo

Yawn done loading for the time being, gonna get in a big review sesh before I play again. Very likely I'm done for the night, redline looks **** 2 days in a row and although I'm 99% sure it's just variance, gonna spend 3 hrs or so in HEM tonight

Glad I didn't plan on playing today, I fig'd that something terrible would happen with the world record tourney and was right, SNG lobby down atm and has been for about 30 mins now and PS is lagging like Fing crazy.

Saved my day a bit yesterday by regging like 8 180s (3 15s) and Fting 2 15s including a ship for ~$750 . Hypers were a ****ing bloodbath yesterday, hopefully turns around soon!

Anyway, late reg'd the bigger 22 when the $1 world record started, that's probably all I'm going to play today. Packer game at 1pm then comedy night on fox, might play between the 2 but I srsly doubt it as I'm on 3 hrs of sleep atm.

Wanted to play the "TOSS" series on True Poker today as its their last day but couldnt find a swap and couldn't depo, they had their $25^3, their $75^3 main event 50k with a sick structure and then a $109 turbo last chance event; kinda disappointed I couldn't get $'s on there but not much I can do.

Hey Jdawg Have not read thread since yesterday so I got no idea how today went for you hopefully well though. Would like to get your thoughts on this post I made in BAE's goals thread please.

I got a serious question and it's probably me over thinking things. There is times in these where it feels like the optimal play would be to fold to preserve fold equity near the bubble with pot odds of 2 to 1.

I keep calling in these spots 95% of the time or so depending on how nitty the Raiser is and the range I give him. So anyways if you guys don't mind helping me get peace in my head then please tell me your thoughts thanks and gl

Yawn, nother losing Sunday in the books. Down to a bit over 4k VPP til I hit SN, gonna try my best to hit it by Monday night although it might be hard since I have to run into town and pay a couple November bills + grocery shop. Kinda sucks as there's construction past the military checkpoint south of town all the way basically to Calafia where I live and so it takes cab drivers like 30-45 mins to get here now instead of 15 and then it turns a 20 min drive into town into a 40-60min drive so I'll end up losing out on ~5 hrs probably . Oh well, gotta get this stuff done.

Think 200k pace is 20k by the end of tonight is ~20k VPP on the month and I'll be at ~17k if I do finish up SN which isn't bad considering I basically lost today because PS was so laggy/SNG lobby kept going down + football. Just gotta keep putting in the hours and I'll get there by the end of the yr

Depends on the situation really but in most spots, no I'm not going to fold, but there's certainly times you should. I don't really pass up edges like that because they are +ev in the long run and your future equity by folding is sometimes hurt and not helped.
12-05-2011 , 04:18 PM
Meh, ran pretty bad this session too, but after my review sesh 2 night ago and then today before my sesh, I think I'm playing really well and also know a lot of the other regs games inside and out.

Gonna shower and then run into town and do my errands, hoping I run good and am back online grinding within 6 hrs of now but we'll see, depends on how bad the contstruction zone/military checkpoint is.

____________________________________

Like 1k under EV today, pretty dumb day but whatevs. Here's an updated total graph from the beginning, about $2400 under EV atm but can't complain, at least I'm not Demetri1978 who says hes 400 bi's under EV atm (altho haven't seen graph). Noticed SS is off by about $600 atm, my HEM itself isn't perfect either but it's quite a bit closer than SS is, whatever lol.





Gonna take a quick break and then try to get in another session or 2 depending on how I feel, feeling pretty tired right now and throat is killing me. I thought for the 2nd time I got over this cold or w/e the **** is going on, but it seems like it's coming back; still not on any meds, maybe shoulda stopped at the pharmacy but I guess I prefer feeling like **** instead
12-05-2011 , 11:29 PM
sick swongs mate, i doubt my slightly improved tiltlessness could handle that..

oh and you have an unfinished game there, fix that and i've got a feeling it'll change you roi drastically

GL and run better!

Good ****ing god I run so bad deep in mtts.

    W/e, going to bed soon. I've given up on 200k, if I get there, I get there, if not, I don't. Gonna lose the next 2 sundays cuz of absurd promos that will lead to the SNG lobby going down just like this past week and with the big sunday 5mil, so gonna be hectic to try to keep up

    Good god, I'm more tilted now than I was when that beat happened. So basically here at night, because my condo overlooks the ocean the wind gets pretty hectic sometimes and this being Mexico, my windows in my room rattle when the wind gets going. Usually it's fine as it's not really loud at all and I can sleep through it, but sometimes struggle slightly to fall asleep...tonights a whole nother story. I was srsly waiting for glass to break in my room, haven't slept a wink even after turning music on quiet and then louder on my TV to try to overtake the noise.

    Gonna just get back on the grind I guess, might have to try to sleep in the 3rd bedroom later today and see if that goes better. My next step will be trying to find earplugs or some **** if this keeps up, I mean, I'm exhausted right now and can't sleep

    Earplugs 4tw, or even get some cotton balls and jam a small wad in there. That's what I use -- more comfy and just quiet enough. Maybe you can modify the window... socks, duct tape, matchbook cover... *shrug*

    Being sick + not sleeping well = more being sick.

    Yea, all it takes is 1 which is why I just gotta keep putting in the volume. Actually learned something crazy yesterday when TT_Fold shipped the big $8.80 on PS...he's up what, like 500k+ (maybe even closer to 1mil, im not sure) at online MTT's and that was his first field he's won that was over 1000 players, soooo sick.

    I tried this TT, it's not exactly 100% rattling, it's kinda hard to explain, my roommate has heard/seen it though....I've wedged **** in all parts of the window but it's like their's little gaps or something and the wind just howls right through.
