I'm putting people on pretty accurate ranges and playing pretty decent but I'm just not listening to myself that ends now

been floating around 1/3 a bitcoin for a while but the cool thing is that btc has jumped from 460$ to approximately 600 since i've started this challenge.

found a new site where most players are french people they seem to hang out at the site with a buncha french forum freerolls I dug around the forums trying to figure out how to get the password but i must be ******ed or something every thread for password the password would say password: and then its left blank but 10 people say ty like apparently there was a password. anyway the seems software is pretty decent, they do seem to have a have a budget, professional crap but not much in the way of a tourney schedule yet called mybitcoin.com seems awesome there has to be tooooons of growth potential for a site that mostly targets the french cus their current legislation and tax laws are awful yaaaay hope it grows and there's a buncha french donks. they got a grand opening tourney for .01 in a week and its 1btc guaranteed should be a blast

little rusty what is your line here r/f, shove or open fold?

hate this game sometimes having swings of 10% of br cus I wiff every tourney i play in a day used to freak me out but i know these guys on betcoin don't have an edge on me it just depends on whether the variance can take me out having to play small tourneys with 30 buyins but cushioned by a few more chips every day from freerolls

the bounty is 40% of the buyin. it's 10 buyin, 4 goes to bounty. How wide you think someone would iso shove here from his spot, do you 3 bet original raise i think that's as good as calling or better? I think the iso shover is one of the best regs on the site fwiw

damn a decent day coulda been a pretty good one if this holds
for .05 btc for first. just got .01 for peanuts

first decent tourney win for quite some time brings me to .4 btc

scooped 2 tournies on betcoin and played my first real tournies on swc tried my hand at a 20 chip plo8 only to bubble it holding aa24 double suited. that sucks if i was deeper i coulda folded cus the flop came kj small had 2 bd flush draws and the back door low though ofcccc trashy kk is the nuts

br is at .45 now i have the br to handle .01 tournies on seals whenever i can get em and take shots a little bit bigger once in a while

bleh bubbled all kinds a crap br down to .4

these people on swc almost always have it when they open shove more than 10 bb.

So I'm having a hard time cracking .4 for the past few weeks it's my new .33 it's kinda tough because now i'm playing larger games and relying less on freerolls so the swings last longer and are harder to shake but the upswings will get bigger too i'm sure. kinda sucky though most of the tournies i'm playing are slashing guarantees so it's harder to suck from the tit of overlay. i think i'm gonna add betonline games and xfer all fiat winnings from there into bitcoin at the end of the summer as well.

I have some catching up to do, but I am in. Maybe we should post the sites/schedule we are grinding. Just played my first Betcoin freeroll and got 2nd for 1.65 chips.

GODDAMMIT this is why I can't crack .5!! This was taking a big shot was in this for .04

Interesting spot on swc in the 5 chip big one tonight. I think theres 6 or 7 people we're itm and theres not really any tiny stacks to worry about. It folds to hero in sb I'm 15 bb deep with ak, bb covers me by a little. If I stack him he'll have a salvagable shoving stack. I raise to 2.5 bb. Bb is playing pretty solid from what I've seen, he's folded his blind to me pretty often and I haven't seen him show down weak. He calls and flop comes k78 rainbow. i cbet 3 bb he calls. river blanks pretty sure it was something like 2 or 4. I have 1 psb what to do?

bam first time i cracked .5!

still around... my total buyins any one day are about 20%-30% of my br so every day is an exciting sweat and every cash is critical... I think I'm around 2/3 of the way to a bit coin and I've been doing this for about 5-6 weeks. The only advantage that the regs have on me ion betcoin is that I don't have an unlimited br to rebuy and it is a huge advantage to have on this site since payouts are pretty flat so people can rebuy and have a really good chance at cashing. I am taking more shots at 20 chip buyins but damn its tough to get any seal krill i think i'm at about 75 and i get around 5 a day lol.

best day in quite some time, think I cashed half my tourneys and got heads up in most that I did cash. I am now pushing 4/5 of the way there

I got pretty interesting news. betcoin has merged with WPN where I can play all the tournies on WPN with bitcoin but I still can have my cake and eat it too cus the tournies on betcoin did not go to WPN so those are still nice and small and packed full of overlay. i am pretty happy right now
edit: happy gone. just figured out exchange rate is terrible.

what is the exchange rate ? ( I presume you mean to play a WPN $USD tourney but using BTC to buy in ? )

Also....which BTC site are you playing most on ?

Right. The current exchange rate is 1.55 btc/ $. yesterday when I made that post it was at 1.7 btc/$ which i thought was a lil high but they changed it, they seem to change it every day. you get paid back in bitcoin. I am playing mostly on betcoin, with about a quarter of volume on seals.

got slaughtered today even though i won 2 tournies they were both small. lost .08 b worst day in a while. one of my problems when i used to play more seriously was keeping my head even and sticking it out when running bad. i can barely call having one losing day out of 10 running bad but I can tell by how I'm taking this mentally I still have that problem with me.

Think I played at your table in the Grindabit free roll tonight. You cashed right ??

yea i did barely

hey man, im basically trying to do the same thing you are, i shipped the SWC free-roll in the very beginning of the summer and im up to 100. my screen name on there is DavieQ12. whats yours?
