sub'd, thats one hellova grind.

gl.

Thanks. I do feel guilty, because some others have it much worse in terms of number of hours required

Gl

lol fantastic videos on that page. I actually fear I'm becoming worse from watching this one that has some more IN DEPTH STRAT

GL with the chase . Deff fun thread, subscribed.

Thanks

Lol my roommate was loling pretty hard at that video, it's pretty ridiculous lol, there's like vids where they're talking about how to beat "bingo players" and stuff like that too.. =/
Thanks for the support too.

Played a couple short sessions so far today, doing pretty well so far, above break-even mark again (pre-rakeback) which is really encouraging, and EV is looking good. I've said this many times before but I still feel like my long term EV should be a negative ROI given number of tables/no game selection but sample is still too small so I'm probably just running good (and getting dealt good situations for the EV to be even better). Was in a $200.

Lol, PokerStars is so rigged, I was like zz when the flop came (I don't care if a single 7 comes and I lose, it just feels lame to flop a boat vs. quads) but had a feeling a Queen would come, JokerStars! Rigged, joke site etc etc.



Speaking of which.. Here's some amusement lol!
Edit: Think 2p2 censors tinyurl, so the link is www. tiny url . com / jokerstars no spaces

The actual URL is F***pokerstars.com, which would be censored here so I tinyurled it.

One of the e-mails they received/published:


Lol last time I checked QQ beats 92 on QT922....



Results so far.

How many days will you miss due to liver failure?

Haha, don't really consider myself a drinker but we will see....

Ran pretty hot this last session, too many tables when 20-tabling is such a first world problem lol, but I still complain sometimes ;/



651999.04 VPPs

Another gem from that site:

In movies, if someone cheats in poker table they get shot from the gun!
Good for pokerstars, they are hiding from players in internet as chickens.

It's pretty funny, I mean to be fair some fairly intelligent people get pretty angry at poker being rigged and stuff but the majority of the people who write those e-mails/messages are pretty fail...

Anyway going very well, running hot (AGAIN, really doubt true EV can possibly be 0 or higher, sample size blah blah) but I'll take it. Expecting volume to go up a lot more after Monday probably, when ANZPT ends (meeting a lot of people etc in the last few days and next two or so days).

Owe $70 to charity, 3 deserts and 4 DotA games :/
Anyone ITT feel free to suggest any charities, I haven't decided on one yet (haven't really thought about it). Will pay out after I make SNE, or the end of the year, whichever comes first (obviously I hope it's the former!). It's just generally for a good cause, so it doesn't have to be a charity necessarily, obviously this is a honesty thing so I'm not going to angle it or whatever.

How about a animal protection charity or a cancer research for kids?
Good luck with the challenge

By the way, sick challenge. GL

GL w/ challenge!

donate to the "yay needs money" foundation. he really could use it.

Still running quite nice, was a little annoyed cause I started up nearly 2K and ended down 750 but feeling annoyed over that is absurd given how I think I've been running imo...



Thanks for the suggestions for charity guys, will re-visit it later in the year.

I stake someone effectively doing this same thing. He can play the 357s though, so that helps a lot. def still a very nice grind to end the year. I am a bit worried he wont get there (not really, as he is a smart guy who knows it has to be done etc), but would be pretty worried if he couldnt play the 357s.


gl

He will easily get there! That guy is a boss!

Gl Mrs Oracle!

Yeah it's definitely a bit of a grind, thanks for the comment and gl to you for the rest of the year too.

Thanks Still Miss for now


EV is dropping a bit but results (aka real money) is doing decently so not gonna complain obviously! Had a pretty sick session just now, is it not absurd that in 80 minutes I paid 638.55$ in rake!? I didn't even load every game that ran (lol peak times) cause I don't have hotkeys and 25-tabling is prob a bit too much, even for me at the moment..

Gonna grab something to eat, shower and probably play a bit more.
Went out yesterday evening with a few 2p2ers, Bogan4life (TBO), PortlyPig, Camzace, QuadVQuadMe etc and it was fun, had some food and a few drinks (in some cases a little too much..) and probably going again tonight for the ANZPT player party.

Thanks, and thanks for the suggestion too, had a look at the site; idea seems pretty cool.

(Temporarily?) fixed my sleeping habits after an exhausting day yesterday. One of our friends shipped a 330 side event for a bit over 10K which was really cool because he had 90% of himself and took a bit of a shot. I had action in almost everything my buddies played except this, apparently a txt didn't get through :/
So we were kinda celebrating yesterday, went bowling, table tennis and out for lunch etc, I ended up waking up around 9:30AM which is a bit earlier than the last few days (Noon or so) and got to play some during peak hours again.

I think I'll try to continue playing some peak hours because the traffic is so much sicker, I'm getting over 2500VPP/hr! Downside is that the games on average are a little tougher it seems, and every now and then some really gross games will pop up with 6 regs or 5 regs/1 semi-reg etc.

Results have been a bit swingy but still happy with how it's going, EV is starting to drop a little but I'll continue to see how it goes. At this stage I would say SNE is close to a lock, but I won't get over confident, yet.

On a side note, before starting this challenge I had a sample of 60-200 hypers played, and ran really poorly (mostly just a few various small sessions), including a 1.5~ hour session where I dropped 8K when I was primarily playing zoom etc. I noticed after doing decently recently that my lifetime stats are almost break-even now so if I'll be pretty happy if I get above that! Think I'll have to run pretty good for that to happen though since like I said, for the 100th time, I am aware that I am likely running good (to do better than break even, without game selecting and playing so many tables and so on). Lol_sample size and lol_variance though I guess!


Lifetime 60-200 hypers

Some random pics to share:

Mr. KidPoker (Daniel Negreanu) decides to join us in a few 200 hypers, proudly displaying dat bronze star.



Somehow we ended up getting HU at 10/20 here with even stacks, that took a little while and certainly wasn't fun when 20-tabling :/ It wasn't tooooo bad since blinds go up fairly quickly.


Sick brag:
