Yeaha nah I don't think I could attempt that

GL to you 2!

Not really much to report.

I have had some really good sessions with my backer and also a really good session with a friend who crushes higher stakes.

Giraffe last 2 days:



Not the best so down to 7s and 15s for now.


This week I'm going to shoot for like 75 games a day mon-fri - its not much I know, but I'm 4 tabling and want to spend a lot of time studying every spot I play for now! Quality before quantity So I think it'll still work out to 9 hours of poker stuff a day between play + study + software stuff

Anyway glgl everyone thanks for reading

oh and:

Subd, gl fellow Australian!

Hey guys, fell a little short of 75 game daily goal, but I'm not really upset about it since I more than made up for it w/ study.

I'm still making some bad errors in-game, where i'll either missclick or even just think something is a good decision at the time then look at it later and go wtf was I thinking?

I ran goot today over 75 games so I've dropped 7s and back to just 15s.



I need to sit down and work out some attainable short term goals. My long term goal is SNE 2013 but I def need to think about tablecount goals and volume goals.

Its haaard this time of yr tho. I live on a coastal town and everybody who grows up here needs to travel away for uni or whatever, but this time of year everyone is back for summer holidays so setting goals is pretty difficult for the next few weeks. Its been tough to find some time for even hh reviews with my backer sometimes since he is from Canada so our timezone diff is lolbad, and if I go for a morning surf or whatever I pretty much miss him for the day.

Anywayyyyyyys I'm going to continue reviewing some stuff now, there's so many guys that I feel are real goot and probably (definitely) enjoy playing me right now (u know who u are LA Abuseman, pippin_sis, bauron83, TheHyperFund...There are many more at 15s too obv) so my main goal is just to keep working on spot after spot.

I had a serious aha moment yesterday/today or at least a few little aha moments so things are going in the right direction! Peace!

gl, hope to see you in the $200's soon

+1

And B3RT in your thread? Must be doing something right :-)

lol, nice nicknames.

thanks, I hope so! Got a good coach sooo all on me! GL with ur grind, have you left my beautiful country yet?

The only thing i'm doing right is studying a lot (prob not even studying correctly all the time ) I can assure u a lot of what i'm doin at the tables is NOT right haha.

Thank you. Took me ages

I didn't feel right not hitting a measly 75 game daily goal the first day I set out to do it (even tho I studied a bunch), so ftr:



[x] dedicated

How do you spend your time studying? ICM/HH Review/SNG Wiz? I tried my hand at 180 SNG's but due to work now I can't play large field SNG's now, debating whether to learn 6 max hypers or 9/18 turbos.

mainly sng solver and icmizer depending on the spots i'm studying, hh review/sweats with some good friends and my coach/backer, some custom soft for looking at population tendencies and player type tendencies as well as filtering heapssss in HM, making charts in hope that the crap I learn sticks in my brain, a wide range of stuff.

I think to study well I need to do all of these things because they all lend themselves to each other.

Hope this helps, there's def guys out there who are farrr moar authoritative on this topic than me, glgl in whatever u choose though!

Sounds similar to my routine. I spend heaps of time in excel writing/charting/graphing what I'm trying to learn haha.

Yeh I noticed the biggest thing about not focusing study sessions on 1 part of the game was it either made finding leaks easier, or it gave me a big confidence boost when I was losing/breakeven as I could see I was making right decisions ICM wise and just finding the top of ranges every time.

My biggest problem is living in WA, peak times on stars for SNGs is ~11pm+...

GLHF and sub'd.

Peak times are often not the best time to play though :-) Especially with hypers.

Gl with your quest

Gl. and go go go

Unfortunately so I'm missing the weather already, not loving the freezing temperatures back home!

From my experience off-peak times are best to grind hypers so the timezones may even work in your favour.

Yeah I don't really mind there's still plenty of games to play at hypers off-peak and tables are better.


Thanks for stopping by man! Appreciate it

So when are you becoming naturalized?

Yup off-peak is pretty good quality I agree!

Hit my daily goals:



And I'm pretty glad I started this thread. All up I had to do like 5h of soft debugging today + grind + study and ofc I left grind+study till last so it was hard to get through but in the back of my mind was the fear of becoming "the guy who couldn't stick to 75 hypers goal for 2 days", so it is definitely keeping me motivated.

Cheers guys

GL with your challenge! I've been tempted by hypers too but I just don't have the dedication to learn another game right now so I'll stick with CAP in 2013

Thanks mate! Still crushing caps? Hopefully I can play a mix at some point and then I will be able to tableselect even better than you!

GL for 2013, you running for SNE?

wpwpwp!

glgl

I am trying to build my first hud for use in 6-max hypers and have some questions about your huds (assuming you build yours using hm2 and nc).

I have built 8 pop-ups which needed 400 definitions, and think I will need several more pop-ups before I am satisfied. I think I might be very inefficient in the way I am building or does this number seem kinda standard?

Will the total number of nc definitions affect hud performance?

glgl again

What would you regard as 'non peak' times? I'm UK BTW

Loving the thread by the way, I'm switching to hypers from the ground up.

thanks that was the name I was most proud of. Sorry I didn't do a good one for you but wtf its a hard name to think of a cool spinoff for!

It will affect your processing time but I think hud performance will/could/should be ok. Processing time is something to think about though because if u have a tonne of defs processing at 1.2 hps then it is going to suck if you need to reprocess.

Also there is a lot to be said for information overload. It's all well and good to have a massive list of defs but there comes a point where you just have too many to make use off. I would suggest to think about the value of them all and layout (you can organize stuff well with color coding, font changes or whatever) to streamline all your info and make it as useful as possible.

I don't think 400 is too bad. I made a hud with around double that for a guy once and he said it was ok. It's all about personal preference though.


I'm not sure, it seems pretty crazy from 2am - 9am or whatever in AEST - I'm not sure what that works out to in UK time tho!

Ended my pokers for the day - not at home so I can't poast proof of my 75 games but I think I got moar like 100+ today.

Also, $2.21 from taking my next 30's shot so...

see ya there.

GL man. Subbed.

Thanks for the advice -I think you might be right about information overload, I guess I will just try to finish my build then see which stats I use or find useful -- then streamline from there.

gl in the $30's

gl in the $30's too - kinda glad you are moving out the $15's

Update - today I played 0 games! I went to the beach and came home and was having massive problems with HM2, so I just did a lot of theory work / scripting catchup. Good news is, my backer said today pending a successful hh review, I can move up to 30's soon so I'm super excited about that and it's kindof driving me through a whole lot of off-table study atm.

At this point I really just want to do as much as possible to get prepared for next year, all about learning at this stage rather than making the $$$, that will come if I apply myself really hard right now.

Hope everyone is having a good start to holiday season cheers!
