Holy ****, lot of stuff to respond to.
Will just once again say thanks much to each and every person that posted in here to congratulate me or tell me gl or whatever, I've now read each of those posts 3x and I always have a big smile on my face anytime I'm reading back over that last week of SCOOP
Also shoutout to ccuster, siggo, debacle and others who were on the rail and posting itt, was pretty cool to go back and read all the updates and actually reminded me of a cpl things I forgot happened

I will single out this congrats post though as B3rt has always supported me and believed in me (at least outwardly/to me

), even when I got in 200k+ makeup. I'm sure inwardly you were quite worried about me being a huge bust, especially as you bought my MU at a super high price and my literal first full month on stake I lost like 75k and it didn't get better from there lol; very glad I was able to turn it around!
Will always be forever grateful for everything you've done for me and continue to do for me, glad to be apart of #TeamApex

Keep your head up, you got this boss!
Yea, that **** is always really annoying in the sats and is one of the most tilting things to deal with at the highest stakes, due to so few games running per year

Not at all, my EV was nice given how poorly I ran all day long, and a -100k day, where all of it comes from the 3.4ks is only a -30 BI day, thats the really sick thing about it all haha!

Well selling a lot of action helps in that regard, the -100k day was massively bad for my HS-nosebleed investor but not that bad for me. I'm not sure how I'd react to things like this if I didn't sell action, but I also couldn't fathom me ever playing the 3.4ks for >33% of myself/stake br just due to the absurd swings that the hyper sats present along with limited volume. I've talked more in depth about it before, but I keep very little of the 3.4k+ games, highest I've had in $/game I think was WCOOP 3.5ks where kept 10% (and 5% of the 1 17,340 that went off)

I'd have a tonnn of work to do on my mtt game if I were to super excel at hsmtts, but do think I do a lot of things right. Maybe we'll find out next year, who the hell knows what will happen to hyper sat and 25bb traffic if all rb is 30% or less!

Q re your bustout hand when you took 3rd in the 1k, was it a mistake? not the c/shove, that seems pretty standard, but defending 84o with only 11bb or so left? i'm not a tourney player so have no idea. either way, sick run and followup to that mega ass day before.
Think defending there was fine, we were 3/3 by quite a lot at that point, could be a fold but meh, I don't like folding my bb

Haha, big post will eventually be coming, but thanks again all <3. Got some sad news for you all though, I had a ridic small % of these High events. Hindsight is obviously always 20/20, in the past, part of how I got so buried in makeup was by bricking SCOOP and not selling a ton of the 1k and 2k events, and after clearing the ridic amount of MU I said I'd never allow myself to get super stuck in a ****ty situation like that again and have held true to my word on that.
So yea,I was only even playing the High events to begin with because I wanted to play the late reg hyper sats, so I sold massive %'s of the events (massive like 90%). Basically, the way I approached this, was that I wanted to be freerolling the events by a lot after the late reg sats to the event so that the results in the actual events didn't even matter (as in, the amount of money I'd/stake BR would personally lose in MTTs wouldn't really affect my personal sng profit) given the toughness of the fields and just the obvious massive variance in mtts. And when we think about the reality of the situation, each time I clicked reg on one of these H events I was probably only making $100-$200 and again, simply would not have played at all if I was not grinding the late reg hyper sats, so any profit off of them is quite literally just free money
I'm not sad about it though, I was just in a ton of makeup with b3rt and I've cleared that by a bit which is great considering my abi on stake isn't super high anymore (again, from selling pieces of the higher stake sngs; I was in about 650 sng abi's of MU on the stake br with B3rt after a really rough end of march and bad april and the rough patch during SCOOP before the upswing). My nosebleed investor, who lost a ton of money investing in me last yr due to my runbad in the 3.5k hyper sats made a load of money off of me in these mtts as he buys all the mtt action I sell. I'm really happy about that; felt ****ty that he lost like a quarter mil due to the 3.5ks last yr and he made all that back plus some more!
But yea, so I didn't really make much off of these scores, but cleared an amount of MU that would have taken at least a few months to grind out of most likely; would have been nice to bink some L or M event instead as I had 100% of most of them on the stake br and get a cut massively in my favor, but hey, will take what I can get
.
Anyway, didn't wake up in time for the cubed event yday, did play the 3max and busted the 215 quickly and the 2k somewhat close to ITM with 2 bounties. Today busted 3 off the $ in the 2k mixmax which was annoying, ~30 off the money in the 2100 6m psko semi turbo 88<KQo for heaps of chips
Tomorrow will be a big day though, not planning to play the 10k but will depend on if there will be late reg sats going on and if my investor really wants me to play or not; atm I don't want to play as I'd rather just be able to play more tables of sngs, but might flick it in if he really wants me in it.
Graph of past 2 day sngs below, gla on a big big sunday!

Gl in the future grinds and hope you win the main event!
P.s 10% of $400k is nice still plenty of good times to be had <3

Yea again, to me, I realize that each time I click register on one of those 1k or 2k SCOOPs I'd only gain $100-$250 in EV total, with a ****ton of variance. And due to past bad runs at HS's, I've now become super nitty and keep a pretty low abi and sell off the rest of the action off stake.
I would not have played the events if I wasn't able to much more than freeroll (ev wise) my piece of the target MTT due to playing the late reg hyper sats, basically any money I personally profited off of the MTTs being played I looked at as quite literally free money.
Still really good on my poker resume and my HS-nosebleed investor I'm sure trusts my MTT game a lot more after those results, which is great for the future!

Yea I went into more detail on this in the past (I think in a response to pads), but basically keep around 100 abi on stake of everything and then sell off the rest. This is only untrue for the highest stakes, of which like I said above, I kept 5% of the only 17,340 sat that went off. Kept 7.5% of the 3.4ks fwiw.
Slightly annoying, because as I've said, in the past I've kept way higher %'s than this (used to play 500 25bb 100% on stake, same with 357 sats and all mtts up to 320), but due to the runbad and then not making any money in a long time, I decided to go the lower variance route once I cleared the massive amount of makeup i was in
Fwiw, after the -100k day, I was in about 600 abi's of makeup and it would have been a huge pain in the ass to grind out of if not for the big heat to end SCOOP!
__________________________________________________ _____________________________________________
Well, that was a lot of typing! Pretty tired after all of that heh, had a nice day of SNGs today but mtts didn't go so hot; lost a flip for a top 3 stack in the 4th hour of the 1k, had a lot of mincashes in not that many mtts played but couldn't get anything to come together late, oh well!
Tomorrow the Ruseman and I going out to stock the house up as we're pretty much out of everything, will be a nice day of (likely) no grinding, bar possibly firing a 25bb session tomorrow night.
Tomorrow definitely starting back up with my gum routine and then cold whirpool + sauna room, feel absolutely terrible after being super withered in terms of physical activity all of SCOOP (and then was mostly exhausted this week with SCOOP being over but still needing to grind a lot...basically was catching up on sleep and then anytime I was awake, I was grinding).
Going to attempt to not drink at all starting tomorrow through end of June, minus 1 or 2 evenings if I hangout with someone/go out. Def want to lose a bunch of weight between now and WCOOP and then do better during WCOOP in terms of not being such a trag/lazy, also still have this pinched never in my left leg/foot which is ****ing annoying, hoping with going to the gym every single day to at least ride the bike/treadmill workout and then doing the whirlpool + sauna, along with getting some massages, that it will be healed by the end of June.
Anyway, bunch of graphs below, lets hope the summer grind goes anywhere near as well as the first part of this year
