I had a thread on here previously. I don't think it is particularly interesting but I will link it anyways here

Basically I have moved back into the merge only zone and I think I will be alot happier here in the ol USA. Except for the poker situation which obviously sucks balls. And I had a good job in Europe as a card dealer, but it was time to move on and I think I will be glad I did.

To be honest (with myself) I've always been a kindof mediocre player. I am lazy and often just mindlessly grind. Recently I 18 tabled stars and had a few bad months running bad at 180s and 18s. Had a nice 3 week run at betfair playing 10 mans so pretty confident again which is something I struggle with especially on long rough stretches. Still I had a very successful year playing part time and am up like 25kish lifetime over 20 months playing on and off. Anyways I specialize in 9 mans and figure you have got to be an idiot to not have a positive roi in mtts in similar buyins. Of course the variance may well very drive you nuts.

Cliffs
-I never tried that hard / studied enough after I became a winning player
-Still won a good bit


Anyways the next week will be a little of me discovering merge as far as what games are soft and what runs when. I will basically play everything that runs in the 5$ buyin range for now except supers. I will probably end up with 3 stacks 6 max supers, reg 6 max, and then a 10 man stack

500$ roll, a brain, and merge keys = winning!

Goals
-Do not go on ax-murdering tilt, 99% software induced. If there are any ax murderings in the news.. uh that wasnt me.
-Find a set of games to build a roll, I can deposit more if I feel confident I'm a winner but should only take 1k games to build up a bit and then I can play 10s *no supers*
-Eventually play more mtts either backed or on my own dime.
-Make a living playing a silly card game
-Enjoy playing the game, something I have kindof stopped. Mainly a mindset issue.

Already a wall of text and I don't feel I've said alot but I will leave it at that for now!



Oh I dont know where to put this but dear merge software developers you need to work ALOT on your POS software. If you want I can tell you how.

Seriously have to print out a ****ing sheet that says
Racoon Room 5$ sng
Elephant Room 2$ 6max etc etc.

WHAT IF YOU PUT THE BUYIN IN THE DAMN TITLE?


Cheers

Ruse - You still moving to Mexico as well? Games a ton softer since merge re-opened, but would love to see both of you out of the games by 2012 as I should be "K" or "A" level on RPM by then making my effective RB on Wednesdays and Fridays 93.3-103.3%.

Will be grinding the RPM double VIP point days until then trying to move up but really want you boys out of my way !

Yeah I only played like 30 games on merge before but it is really soft right now. Also probably cuz I've been in reg infested games at stars, ongame, and fulltilt. I had an edge in those games but defo a bigger one here. Maybe it is just because it is friday and merge has reopened. I have played pretty much everything but will be loading mainly 5s in all 6max and 10max varieties. Especially the bounties which are super soft and actually go off alot. I had a near 30% roi on stars over 2.5k reg speed bounties last year but I have to adjust to the HUGE bounties vs 4:1 buyin vs bounty at stars.

[ ] 1250 regular games by end of month.

Also can I close games once I bust out of them automatically? pretty annoying manually especially when games are stacked . . .
