-6 buyins at worst doesnt seem too bad

Done for the day 2k VPP today only, ran like absolute **** all day long, running into the top of everyones range and regfish getting there all day long, no idea how i made money today tbh. Might go for something like 25k hands this weekend to get way ahead of pace:



Off for dinner now, GL everyone.

Lotta fun swings ahead!

gogogogogo

is that graph 100nl?

yeaaaahh... sometimes poker is really tough and you only win 2BI/day.

:P

he 6 tables zoom mixing 200nl/100nl

hey mike just wondering do you have a stop loss while you play? or cant cause sne is priority? nice going so far mate!

Haha yep, sure looks that way
you got it^^ 4x200 and 2x100, thinking of trying to eliminate the 100 and maybe play some 200 ZOOM and 200 ring games though at some point. Need moar VPP's!
2.5bi


Nah not really a stop loss tbh mate, if i feel like i'm playing poorly or tilting i try and stop as soon as i realise i am doing that, but if i feel like i'm playing well and making correct decisions i wont just stop because I've lost a ton of money. Maybe is take a break and go gym but then come back and grind it out again.


So going to try for 25k hands this weekend i think, gonna be rough, wish me luck lol

12.6k VPP.

GL with the challenge sir, sure you can do this if you stick at it and keep motivated.

I see your up early today (by poker player standards at least), don't see why you cant hit the 25k hands if you want too!!

Youll have to try and not get distracted by the FA Cup or darts though if you like them that is.

GL anyway, subbed

tyvm, not really bothered with football or darts tbh so that shouldn't be a problem for me Though FML i am running so incredibly bad it's a joke, had to take a break just now not long into my session because i just got really angry at what is happening gonna take a quick break try and calm down and then go again.

^^Vs massive aggro whale, so aggro i almost stacked off pre here.

Also got JJ in bvb vs QQ and some massive aggro clown reg binked top pair top kicker in 3bet pot otr after barreling off, FML. Anyway i'll take a break then back to it.

GL OP, hope you make SNE/Team Online, you seem to have time for everyone!
Hopefully bad run turns around
GL!

thanks man, that's nice of you to say, maybe i can catch a break at the tables at some point lol

just over 7k hands so far today & 2.5k VPP, was up about 1.2k, then went on a 2k downward spiral and now i'm back to -$275 for the day. Gonna grab some food then try and get back in the green $$$$

So i'm calling it a day, i managed to get over 50% done for the weekend by playing 13,312 hands today Ran pretty badly at times and really horribly at others, though tbh it got a little run good in the middle! And being 100% honest with myself i completely deserved to lose money today regardless of how i ran, at times i played like a complete tool and i couldn't seem to fold at times where people just really aren't bluffing. Glad to breakeven in the end even though i ran above EV.



So that's the most hands I've ever played in one day before iirc, possibly most VPP too but not sure on that. I made 4437 VPP today and am sitting at 17,048 overall for the year.

Graph for the year so far with rakeback:



Got 11,700 hands tomorrow to complete my mini challenge

What figure did you use for the rake back in HEM?

hard luck in them hands.

Any reason why you check the river when the A hits turn and he checks?

I dont play 200nl, so dno how the games play.

but my thoughts are, he could have KK, JJ, 1010, pot controlling the turn, scared of the turn A, but will call most rivers, but unlikely to bet, and if he does bet, im guessing hes bet folding these hands.

only hand i see him calling the shove with is AQ, and i think he always bets this on the turn.
would betting river not be better, cos he might have KK, and think you are just betting because he checked the turn A, and also that Q should get him off JJ-1010 here, and he might hero call you.

betting river might get thin value from Ax that he 3betted light, and even KQ.

Just curious. GL

Waw man, sick what you are trying to accomplish. Though i m asking myself : aren't you more beneficial if you played less tables, lets say 12 1/2 normal tables and you concentrate more on the game??? Coz doing what u do will tire you up for sure and you ll get burnt out anytime in sept/october.
Just an advice, give yourself shorter term goals so that the motivation is kept.

Ever done the maths : between playing better and less tables et more selective vs playing tons of hands with a pool full of regs?

forgot to say : very inspiring though and lots of courage thrown in there!

25yr old gym kids don't burn out, they only get stronger

Figure for SNE rakeback for a 6-max cash player is 58.1% rakeback, so i used that
Haha, yea usually that logic you posted above is good though here not so much, not sure if u noticed but i said guy was super aggro whale/fish, i mean he was going nuts, he definitely wont be only b/c'ing AQ otr here he will b/c any A he has, most Q's, KK probably some other trash too, he was really terrible, i'll find his stats later and post them up so u can see what i mean.
Yea I've done a fair bit of math on it actually, even got a spreadsheet with different winrates and hands per year and $ lol I realise this probably isn't the best way of making a ton of money because of the excess of hours i need to put in will probably eventually drain me out. I'm considering dropping 100nl ZOOM and going for a mix of 200 ZOOM and 200 6-max/FR tables, to see if i can get better VPP/hour, going to really struggle at this rate

Haha, Mr Bolt, i'm hoping so mate, going to be tough lol.


'only' 11,700 hands to go today to complete my mini challenge lo wish me luck boys and girls. Hopefully i play better than yesterday.

Also for any of you that play 200 6-max how many table's roughly would i need to play to get ~350 hands per hour?

i dnt play 200nl, but betwen 3-6? cant imagine it being more.

On **** 888 software I get ~400 hands 6tabling so you prob get more on stars

na mate, didnt realize you said he was super aggro.

kinda makes sense now if you had a read that he will take a stab on the river with total air, and will also be incapable of folding Ax or worse to your shove. Well played then.

Cheers bro, I'll use this figure too then

Ok cool thanks, i might try skipping the 100nl soon and just playing 200 only, but i kinda like being exclusively a ZOOM reg lol
Ty possibly not optimal play, but i'm not all that good so it made sense at the time lol
