Just play relaxed and when its september and its within reach lock yourself up

It would be a shame not making sne the stakes you play imho

The SNE program will be changed heavily next year, and it probably won't be worth it anymore.
I'm trying to start playing on 888 as well, but it's a lot of work to get accounts and get money on there and keep track of lobbies.

Agree

Re: hypers.the time you need to spend studying to get to a level where you can break even would probably be better spent playing Cash.

Whilst you can earn huge VPP's per hour, to play those stakes it's a lot more work than a cash guy might appreciate. (See jdawgs PgC).

If you want VPP's quickly then Omaha probably better to transition from cash. When I've looked at VPP rates for Omaha it seems really high. Perhaps you an splash around z200, z500 and have fun without caring too much about results.

That said, the hyper study might prove very useful when in Vegas.

yes because cash needs no work obvsly

He's already a winner at nlhe cash. He wasn't saying being good at cash is easy and being good at hypers takes lots of work obv.

I dont think you should feel like you have to make the SNE decision this early in the year. you should be able to generate vpps fairly quickly at the stakes you play, I would just keep doing your thing and wait to make the decision until you get closer to your vegas trip

It's already pretty hard to make, so I can't just play a loose schedule and then be two months behind. Especially because I want to do fun **** during summer.

Good day today. Won 10k and was happy with how I played after the first 45 minutes.

How I miss the joy of debating going for SNE for the first 6 months and having to finish it in the last 3

Correct.

learning ICM and all the hyper intricacies are just gonna be a whole new world. Ofc Omaha requires study.

At least with Omaha there are many transferable elements (plenty of cash players make the switch) to nlhe cash.

According to the stars site, you can achieve SNE in 1million hands at Omaha 200, and it's 2million hands at 200NLHE. In other words half the hands are required. If OP played 1k hands of 200 Omaha zoom per day, that would make a significant dent in what's needed. and ofc he's rolled to play much higher.

Other obvious benefits to Omaha are that it's a game that's likely to grow in popularity. Hyper SnG's could well die out espcially if rakeback is slashed.

Are there any more details on what the exact changes will look like? (except not being eligible for the WCOOP main ticket)

Only the WCOOP, and that the program will be significantly less rewarding.
I'm expecting like a 50% cut, and SNE is definitely not worth it anymore at that point.

awesome thread op! keep the updates coming and gl!

It seems dumb to kill yourself to achieve SNE this year when its not life changing money to you, and more importantly bc a lot of the value comes the 2nd year of SNE when you have 5x multiplier for a full year, and as you alluded to, PS will likely cut some large % of the program next year. It basically comes down to how much of a life cost comes with achieving SNE this year, and is that cost greater than the extra 30-40k you will receive grinding SNE. Thats a question that only you can answer.

^ +1

To me it seems dumb to skip out on an extra 30-40k in a year just from putting a bit more work in, but it seems worse to try and get there if you will hate doing it. Either change your mindset and go for it or just don't bother thinking about it at all and enjoy yourself, you will still earn a pretty good amount of $ no doubt this year.

Seems like opinions are split right down the middle and I've gotten nowhere.
I'll just keep playing roughly on pace and figure it out later.


I'm getting really sick of getting ****ed over every time at the regular tables.
When I finally get a seat when the fish or marked reg leaves, I play my BB and everyone sits out and I don't get to play any other hands. And if I ask whether or not they want to continue before I play, nobody answers.
So either sit out when the spot leaves, or keep playing. Stop stealing my BB.

Apologies to Katzor for being a dick to him about it yesterday, he sat in.


The laptop I'm on doesn't have much space left on the C: disk. Can I transfer Postgres to another drive, or will it not work properly anymore?

get "TreeSize", a great program for finding your c: leaks. It analyzes your disk and rearrange it in the biggest folders and files to smallest. This way it is very easy to find and delete alot of garbage files that just takes space.

Just download it

a common but greatly satisfying unicorn to find is usually in HM which can collect if youre unlucky up to 50gb in just ERROR files. Good luck

It's showing me how much space is used everywhere, but how do I let it rearrange folders and create space?

UPDATE

I just got back to Malta after having been to Holland, and on a snowboarding trip in Austria.
So now I can stop playing on my phone and get serious again.

I'll post the February graph as soon as I have all of my hands. Ran very well in the beginning, and went on a 25k downswing at the end.
Not happy with how I played, and I lacked in volume. I'll make up for it this month, and hopefully be on SNE pace before I go to Vegas in the summer.

And since none of you ****s put me in a top 500 Zoom reg list, I'll have to stop playing like an idiot there, and start owning.
If bottom 20% regs are being listed left and right, there's a chance for me too.

February results

Happy with the moneytary results, but very unhappy with how I played, lack of volume and how much I tilted.


This month I'll be back to grinding seriously. That means proper volume, maybe some off the table work, and no more tilting and spewing.
I won't be posting graphs anymore, but I'll keep updating the blog.

Aha, sick life. Nice month.

lol boss

No biggy, just 0.88c per hand.

Great month mate despite the downswing.

Keep it up

P.S Not the downswing

Back to even for this month and I was on pace today, and played fairly well up until the end when I got tired.
Trying to build some momentum now.

Glad to see despite my absence that 500z is still as ridiculous as ever.

Do you find 500z to be very unlike all the other stakes you play?
