I guess I must be lazy as ****. I super rarely play more than 125 hours a month, basically TCOOP/SCOOP/WCOOP and then rest of the time I avg anywhere from 75-125

Just looked and I played 78 hours in October, when the 10mil chase needed to get real lolz

Thanks, now I feel good about myself...

DB only goes back to start of July

55 in August
97 in July

170 for Sept and WCOOPaments

So in actuality, I prob don't break 100 hours in a month outside of a COOP all that often these days lulz

slacker

booked.

thanks cfalls

Haha slacker indeed

Was planning to be on the grind when the Bounty 215 started, that started 1 hr 10 mins ago lulz
[ ] shocking development

Anywayyy, about to hit the grind for the day, will make complete updates at the end of each day. Have my session timeout set to 5 minutes

Gl bettors!

lol @any1 even jokingly calling you lazy/a slacker. The sheer volume that you put in monthly is pretty sick, especially @ the stakes that you play. I would imagine that if you played more hours, you would get burned out quite quickly. Anyway, gl dude. I have been a long time lurker... idk, maybe I posted 1x in your thread.

Haha much appreciated words of support. I think you're right in a lot of ways, but I do also think I should have put forth a better effort the past years to grind and make the most of the earning potential I had back then. All about balance, think I did an okayish job at it, but always room for lots of improvement

Well, kind of didn't think about the election when I decided to do this bet, so I'm off to the ole terrible start and late to the grind today as well heh . At least I'm going to have a good excuse to avoid all the political etc talk over the next week, too busy to chat

Got absolutely smashed on the tables yesterday, would love nothing more than to study today as I tend to do when I get crushed but gotta get on the grind!

Not the best of starts, I'm hoping to be able to get in 8 hours today and get in a bit of studying tonight and then will play a very very long session tomorrow I think....from Bounty 215 at 7:30 AM my time through whenever I bust the late Thurs $320 Thrill that starts at 4pm my time

And lol, woke up to this hilarious, old photo of mine that is getting a second use



Gla today!

just take a day off to study

obvs I'm just playing saying you're a slacker, all in friendly banter mate

you're a funny guy , am studying tonight though instead of playing late lol

haha yea knew you were messing around

________________________________________________

Well, 2 days in and I'm wayyyyy behind already . Let's hope I can start catching up starting tomorrow. On the good side of things, got a TON of vpps the last 2 days and quickly making up ground on the 10mil pace

We miiiight lose power at some point tonight as the wind is absolutely absurd (already had a few times of the lights flickering), if that happens and it is not back by tomorrow when I wake up to hit the grind, I'll post and we can fig out what is most fair. Let's hope that is not an issue though!

Overall Bet Graph (2 days)





Gonna hit the study grind for a bit and then hopefully am able to fall asleep, Fing hot as **** here today (92f / 34c) with a hot wind blowing too, not seeming to really cool off much either

I hope you crush it at the tables, get a million vpp's and lose the grind time bet....

Well, the VPPs are coming along really nicely (esp given the lack of hours) but the table profits surely are not


__________________________________________________ _____

Got absolutely annihilated on the tables again on Day 3, hopefully the weekend treats me a bit better. I got off to a late start and missed a lot of the sat action that happens before the 1k begins, then on top of it, 25bb traffic was quite slow, but still managed to get an 8k+ vpp day...just certainly not the 15k+ I put up the first 2 days of the bet

Went out for a super late lunch with mossified84 and came home and immediately passed out, just woke up <30 mins ago and gonna study some spots and hopefully be able to fall back asleep for a while. Need to put in a massive grind today, basically 10+ hours today or the hours bet is already lost 4 days in heh

Bet 3 Day Graph



Let's hope for a lot of hours today . After studying, if I'm not able to fall back asleep pretty quickly, will just run to town real quick, grab some snacks and drinks and come back and hit the grind

Hey Jdawg, really inspiring posts from you here. Started out grinding the hypers myself somewhat due to you and Tonka and will be at the 30s soon and can't wait to finally have some proper reg battles against you guys in the high stakes one day

Quick question, up to how many tables do you play at a time as it seems like you are doing up to 20? Anyways good luck mate, been a great read so far!

GL Jdawg, just think of the worldwide trip courtesy of Amaya.....

gfy amaya lets get it mate vamooo grats on fading a baby

Lol power went out mid sunday sesh, this whole past week has been a complete ****show dating back to last Sunday when the power also went out and I lost more or less the entire day. Some IRL stuff has gone against me as well this week and getting really frustrated, seems every time crunch time or a COOP comes around, **** just goes wrong lol

No chance I'm gonna win the bet, will update at the end of it and we can fig out where to send $ etc. Can't believe I didn't get more action, maybe ppl dont think about it, but the SNGs just don't really run outside of a 12 hour window each day. Before 7am can't get more than about 3 60s-100s combined going with maybe 1 table of higher stakes, and by 7pm it again is deadsville. Combine that with my history of not being able to grind tons of hours outside of COOPs and I think me giving 2:1 odds was just printing for the bettors heh. Bet still did serve it's purpose though, even with today being a complete fail...I've lowered my VPP/day target by a fair bit and even though I didn't put in enough hours for the bet, I did get myself in a better grinding groove and think I'll be able to smash out the last 304k VPPs needed pretty easily




Busting the mil as I type I assume as there are bets going into a sidepot . Hitting the restart button as everything seems to be going badly...Lupita, the chick who has cooked food for me during COOPs this year, is coming to spend the night; haven't seen her in a while so will be fun. Wake up with her in the morning and prob will hit the study grind pretty hard, might put in a session in the afternoon if I feel up to it, will def be ready to go hard again starting Tuesday


Dat MTD Graph

gg

would have bet more, but there is a tipping point where it def becomes worth it to push through. was thinking there was gonna be a lot more bets...

gg gl with the last 300k points

100k games in 2016, confirmed lazy

Good luck in the closing stretch!

Hey, missed this before. I play probably a higher table count than everybody at the ABI I play, by quite a lot too. Lot of guys playing like 3-4 tables, some of the guys on higher getting upwards of 8-12, I'm probably averaging like 14 tables the past months and am getting up to 22 at times.

Something like this is ~ normal during the usual afternoon high traffic burst we tend to get on on Tues/Thurs/Sun
https://gyazo.com/826b3a7c9493e4ca9b0158199a932ae2

I've always been one of those guys who was most worried about hourly and liked having a super high vpp/hr and games/hr and was fine sacrificing my profitability pre RB at 25bb in order to work more efficiently.

Glgl on grinding em up

Yea you're definitely right, we weren't really that close to that point though (prob me putting up 5k would have been ~ that number). Thx for ze action!

Thx bossman, shipped to you just a few mins ago

Hahah, yea pretty ridic when you look at it in that regard. There's no way I've played more than 1250 hours so far this year, I think somewhere between 1100-1250 is correct, but I get 100 games/hr when actually grinding so the # of games played adds up quick

So stopping early today as there wasn't much action and I have a ton of studying I would like to get in before the weekend grind. No clue how many hours I finished with exactly, but since my last post, where I talked about getting into a better grinding groove etc, I played Tues/Wed/Thurs and I smashed out 41k more VPPs . Quite quite nice, down to only needing 263k more VPPs which is quite the manageable pace.

Unfortunately, the results have not been going in my favor. Yesterday played 4 5k turbos and bricked them all, bubbling 2, one Q9s<J9o to get HU and other QQ<A3o to be in a nice position to cash. Anyway, not much I can do but to keep on keeping on, DS is getting a bit annoying, but not much I can do.

I have you 3 guys to pay out, I can send PP but don't have venmo or BoA or anything like that. Just PM me your PP info and am hoping that cfalls can maybe help out thabighurt and send him venmo and I'll send PP for his $$sies too
cfalls: owe 50
thabighurt: owe 200
aschupick: owe 50

And updated midstakes only DS graph the past 2.5 months




Gla on that weekend grind

PM'ed. TBH, if you're cool with it, he's just gonna ship mine and yours to my PP and I'll ship you Venmo as soon as it hits my bank. PM me your Venmo deets.

just catchin up with ya, mannnnn I heard about that worldwide trip from amaya - make it hap'n cap'n! sick to see ur going for it. HMU if you need any planning advice, you know I get around a decent amount... but carnavale rio de janiero 2017, I'll be here and you should too!! For sure one of those once in a lifetime things. Back to asia after that for me, so regardless of continent there's no excuses to not meet up at somepoint. hope ur good man, big congrats on that baby not being yours. dodgin bullets there

Hey man,

Where do you recommend I go for coaching? Currently around a $15 ABI MTT grinder on USA sites. Looking to purchase a 4-5 poker session package, but don't wanna pay INSANE rates.
