Well, it helps, but I'm no geek when it comes to PokerTracker, so e.g. you wanna remove the Forced-All-In-Hands entirely out of this graph. And then the spot you find yourself in pre-Forced-All-In matters infinitely more than your cEV/Tournament really. It's super duper situational and can't per-se say X cEV == crushing.
(Used to be) Big fan of yours btw (when I was actively following the scene.)

Could you also post the swings? that would be motivational for all of us out there trying to do the same
I found myself out that I can't half-ass this. If I half-ass and play a hand full of Spins every other day, I get wrecked. I will post the swings now that I intend to play 3k+ Spins a month. Maybe I'm just the biggest sunrunner on earth, we shall see!

Interested in your resources on the maths and ICM cause obviously seems crucial !!
GG
All good, life is improving every day. My ressources are called 14 years of Online Poker, 5 years exclusively Heads-Up SnGs, 5+ Years of Spin and Go
I have no idea how I'd tackle going into the Lab nowerdays. I do mark some hands I am a bit uncertain of, but never (until now) actually made it to analyze those. Might be a good idea to post hands for discussion in here in the future!

Cashout option starts appearing when the average 1st place box is ~10x Buy-In!
Well, turns out discipline is not my strong suit. One of the reasons to reactivate this Thread, time to get the accountability that I need to stay sharp and motivated.
The good news: I'm back, and I'm playing the best poker of my life, August pretty certainly will be the best Month Volume- and Result-wise, even though I have been travelling the first 5 days of it.
What happened? Well, long story short - I've been in a terrible state of mind for the last 2 years. Mostly I had to work on getting my head and heart right after a girl very, very dear to me committed suicide. I tried out a lot, lot of different stuff.
I travelled a lot, tried out different sports, gaming, programming, just kept myself very busy.
Right now Poker is 100% my main occupation, getting around 40h a week in. I play 6 tables, mostly 30$ Spins Max, 50$ Spins & some Hyper & Turbo MTTs. The rest of my days I'm playing Chess (joined my local Chess Club 2 months ago, it's fun playing against some Old Timers and getting beaten up - hah.), programming Games in Unity, swim the river, ride my bike, chill with roommate + his GF and just stroll the city and the countryside.
In terms of Rakeback, I was done with my 2 40% RB-Challenges within 6 days of play (2* 480$, I'll take it). So hopefully next Month I will receive bigger ones. 40% + 25% Chest-RB is a very juicy guranteed income.
Here's some YTD (lolPoker pre August), Month TD & a multiplier that I shipped from yesterday:
YTD (Spins Only)
August (Spins Only)
Shipped dis and Cash-Out, no gamble - even though some EV lost.
Because I'm super in the Poker Zone right now I'm planning three Poker Trips this year:
- Road to PSPC Hamburg: 400€ Tournament 30 minutes drive from my home, so easy peasy - let's see if I'm any good playing Live.
- German Poker Days King's Casino Rozvadov: Playing a hand full of 100-200€ Buy-In Tournaments and just enjoy some time off the Computer.
- EPT / Eureka Prague: Going there with my former roommate who used to ship the occasional 2.50$-180-man-SnG
most likely playing the Eureka ME and some Sats for EPT-Main.
I'll try to update this at least once a week, most likely more often - who knows maybe after every session just to tell y'all and myself what's going on in my head.
I'm running absurdly well - I know that - but that combined with a very solid mindset feels amazing. Here's keeping that streak up for as long as I can!
Any questions? Fire away - I don't study at all currently.
