600k VPP by Years End Playing DON's 600k VPP by Years End Playing DON's

Ok so im currently sitting on 360k VPP for the year. My goal is to reach 600k VPP by the end of the year playing $104 and $52 DON's. I currently play around 25-30 tables at a time. My plan is to register in all the $104's and just use the 52's to make up the numbers.

There is now 9 weeks left in this year so to make the extra 240k VPP's i need to average about 27k/week or roughly 1.5k game/week at my current ratio of 104's to 52's. I currently make about 635VPP/hr so i will be needing to play 40+ hours each week. TBH i try to play 40hr/week every week im playing poker but with my current lifestyle only manage 25-30hrs most weeks .

On top of this i will be hoping to sustain a 2-3% ROI which should see me profit somewhere around 40k including rakeback setting me up nicely for my SNE pursuit next year. Ill post my results daily.

Wish me luck.

Good luck man I wish you the best, I tried playing DONs to build a BR but I couldnt handle the swings it had. since you are playing the highest stakes I can only imagine how terrible the swings can be so I wish you the best!

Thanks mate.

Yeah funny thing about DON's is that alot of people start playing them thinking that they have very little variance beacuse of the flat payout structure. But the truth of the matter is that the ROI's achievable are so low that the swings can be horrible at times.

Thanks guys. Its now Monday morning here and im about to start my 1st day. Here are the starting figures:

Start VPP: 360,078

So far today:

Games: 105
Hours: 4
VPP: 361836 (+1758)
Profit: -$568
EV $: $129

Ok, so pretty much the worst start i could have hoped for. STANDARD. Firstly i have been having strange table focus problems with Table Ninja and finally today got someone to Teamview me only to say they dont have a clue whats going on so im just going to have to live with it for the moment which sux cos i find myself playing less tables to keep the misclicks to a minimum. So that was basically 3 hours gone and only managed to play like 2 set of 10 games (trying to show this guy the problem). Then i finally got to get in a solid session and found myself running into the top of everyones range at the worst possible times so decided to give it a rest for now.

Hope to get in 1 last 2-3 hour session or the day.

I have a problem too... Is it when a new table opens, action is required there, and it skips instantly to the next table in line before you make your action?

Because that's my problem... at the moment i've just got spacebar set to 'move table aside' so when problem comes up i move the table that's taken focus and act on the new table.


btw gl on ur quest

Today:

Games: 201
Hours: 5.3
VPP: 365,477 (+3641)
Profit: -$1,208

Another horrible day today. Got off to a bad start losing 1k in my 1st 50 games and just couldn't recover. Decided to stop the day short out of frustration really. Not too much fun running KK into AA and losing to set over set all day. Hopefully i can get a few big days in towards the end of the week to make up for a poor start volume and profit wise.

Ill post my totals at the end of each week

Yeah makes u feel pretty sick when it just continues to happen. Seems to always come in streaks. I just tell myself that its happened now and theres nothing i can do about it. If i cant handle thi stuff then i should be grinding thats for sure. Also makes it alittle easier when u have 29 other tables still running .

@ talladam... I couldnt fix it and neither could the guys at TN. I done a teamviewer session with Fool from the TN forums and he has no idea what the problem is and whats causing it. I changed to hjalper. Its not quite the complete product as TN but it does the job for me so for now im ok.

you are blocked at SS?

Yeah. I just have a suspicion that when people see others doing well at a certain type of game it attracts more regulars. So i decided when i started doing this professionally that i would block it. But ill be posting my results here for this challenge with HEM graphs etc.
