#3 Slow Progress

March has been a very slow month for me volumewise. I had alot of work at the uni and also been overly tired and sick. Bad timing, but I think I still made all my grades, one to go still and then its grinding time again! I am currently at 213k vpps which is only 13k for the month. I want to atleast end at 250k for the month so I am on pace for a big april.

I have been running better/playing better in March though. My 18man results are picking up a bit, and still dabbling in 6man and 9man with good results. I don't think/hope my good results are the cause of playing very short sessions etc because that would suck. I don't feel like playing better perse, other then picking up one or two extra spots to put in a bet postflop or something like that. There are more things developing for me in my life outside grinding so I'm not sure if I make 1.25M and probably just 1M.

I've played a ridic low amount of hours so far because half of these games are hypers also.



Thinking about putting up a challenge vpp wise/game wist with one or more players, if you interested and have a fun idea, lets discuss it, so everyone can have an awesome april

Finalllly a Quad update. Good month so far sir, def willing to do a volume challenge with you sometime, lets talk

Where do u currently live?

in for a point system with vpp/$ earned/roi all getting their own points. also mandatory youre a ****ing nit quad. gl broski

Post more threadsavers plz

Glgl fish

might be in, see hows its structured.

will be reading this thread, update often, gl!

Give suggestions about a proper system dont let me do the hard work!

u lazy

Rotterdam netherlands by the way, near Erasmus university

I am likely in for this

How about


# games: x*1000 games = x point
ROI: x*ROI = x points
Profit: x*$1000 profit = x points

so if i play 5000 games with 4% roi and 6000 dollar profit i get 15 points. etc, whoever has most wins the prop

something like this a good idea? also, hypers probably won't count right? and profit included with rake back or not. any suggestions to tweaking this are appreciated, but I would like a prop that includes profit, roi and #games.

edit maybe get vpp in there too, as a fourth element or to change for some other, lets hear opinions imo

in & I suggest making it 3 weeks from 3/23 to 4-15 (for my own selfish convenience since I'm in U.S. last week of April)

Profit with rb IMO, adding vpps would be cool too. Agreed on hypers not counting

absolutely no shot for the rest of us if we let your ~1500vpps/hr count towards this lol. I'm down if it stays as quad first laid out & you're probably still a solid favorite tbh

I think its just hard to have a fair system for players with such different games/ different average buying.

Doesn't really matter that much if you play more or less the same ABI like l@p and me but its hard to put you in bhup without one party having a big advantage i think..

You are wonderful FOR 18 MAN, a question many tables you play now and what is your record in a 18-day man?
GL IN THE TABLES

ty sir

Good luck sir, I hope you will do it )

# 4 Games breakdown

I have not been hitting the tables hard like I wanted. Schooltime is almost over but lately I've been overly tired and stuff so got my blood tested and I have something that is similar to pfeiffer the doctor told me, can't do nothing but wait till its over.

I looked into playing a little more hypers because I'm not handling long sessions very good, so far so good, but 18man is progressing too. Hopefully I can doo the prop with a few grinders (still in for some suggestions about the setup) and grind to 400k at 1 May. I'm currently at 220k and hoping to make 250 at the end of the month but not sure given how i feel, we'll see, atleast this is happening early in the year instead of at the end .


Sooo, almost 25% of the year done and I think its time to look at the breakdown of my games again because its insightfull and people like pictures ^^:

March so far:

I have been running good, but also playing good I think. I was def focusing on the wrong things in my bad run, and making mistakes here and there in other spots. Regardless, winning showdowns doesnt hurt either

18-man for the year:

As you can see, there is a big BE stretch at the end. Partly variance, part of it highstakes, part of it very tough games, and a veryyy tiny part playing wise.

I think i tried to exploit some leaks too hard which resulted in me getting exploited a little in particular spots, nothing big, just minor adjustments. Also the hypers I've played got me better insight in more 18man spots as well, I can recommend anyone playing some hypers and analyzing them, it helps your other games where there are spots that hypers have all the time. You can kinda compare it with playing mtt sngs for practicing mtt endgames which can help you to some degree.

The games were very hard (and still are kinda), I can only think of Live@pompeii who is also up a decent chunkc pre rakeback this year with more then 10.000 18mans, so in that perspective: we ruleeee.

6-10man Turbo

I started out concentrating very very hard at these games because I was afraid to lose alot of money in them being so unexperienced in them. Luckily I started out with a big upswing that got me some confidence but also some arrogance.

I've played alot of 60s-100s and a few 200s which were probably too regfilled for me because 9mans are insanely overraked at pokerstars. My roi is still 3% pre rakeback mostly from winning at 30s alot and 5050s all stakes. I should just keep playing $30 9man and gameselect more at the $60+.

Also, I should try out 5050s more to see if I like them. I started playing them in december and BEing in them which lead me to stop playing them, however I'm at 4% in them now, so who knows, maybe these are a good filler next to my maingames.

6-9man Hyperturbos

Most of these games have been hypersats and 6max cash hypers. I've only played 200 9mans but won like 2k in them. Obviously also running good in the other hypers, what can I say, some of my 18man runbad is in here I guess. Normal winrates arent 5%, so I should expect a downswing at some point. The 74s have big swings which im not really ready for, but, just gotta do it I guess, I try to play them in the low hours because there arent that many regs in the 74s and 30$ cash hypers at that time.


Soooo tldr:
- Got out of my downswing for now, feeling better and more secure about poker then before
- Have to pick up the pace at some point though, still in for suggestions about the prop

sexy graph.

whats pfeiffer?

I assumed its the same in english as in dutch, I've something similar to it which makes you overly tired and sleepy, google translate tells me its glandular fever or something like that

I play around 20 tables now. I used to do a propbet a year and a half ago to play 800 18mans within 24 hours at the 6.5s with profit. Ended after 15.5 hours with a 14% roi

OMG MY HERO

GL SIR!

haha (l)

prob mono.

do u know how many 9/100s go off on weekends? gonna add them i think.
