Too lazy to do math but how much rake did you approximately pay to get to 10 milly vpp?
Enjoy your holidays now.

That is a whole helluvaaaa lot of rake
. Pretty absurd to think about the fact that I've made >$1mil in RB

So in short, I believe this will be the end of this blog. I could see myself maybe coming back to making a thread for SCOOP or WCOOP season as there are always some fun sweats during those times of the year!
The main reason for this is I'm trying to reduce the amount of time I'm on my computer and not doing something super productive: IE grinding or studying. This is mainly due to the fact that I've been in a fair amount of physical pain for most of the year. My legs are still super swollen up and my feet are super ****ed up as well. My pinched nerve is getting close to being completely healed which is nice, but yea, I am just really focusing on only being on my computer when being poker productive, otherwise away from it as it is pretty much the time I'm doing the most 'damage' to myself.
In terms of my plan for 2017, I pretty much plan to do basically the same thing. The only difference will be I'll add in more lower stake sats and play more or the target MTTs. Basically super rarely played any MTTs with a <$109 bi, and I definitely forsee a lot of $11-$18 sats in my future
. Will still sit 25bb but priority will probably be sats + mtts with 25bb coming after. I'm pretty interested to see just how bad the new VIP program will be, could kind of spell some disaster for me given the formats I play which is kind of scary, but I can't worry about something I have no control over.
Other than grinding, and this has started as of 2 days ago, going to be going to the gym a lot. I really need to lose weight to help my legs, back and feet as it's no fun being in pain by the end of every grind day. While Rues and I still live here at Calafia, will be using the cold whirlpool and the hot sauna daily as well as that should help with the swelling in my feet and legs.
Anyway, just do want to thank everyone once again for all the support over the course of the years. Have met a ton of cool ppl in poker. Hope everyone has great success in 2017 with everything they are trying to do in life!
My HHs from stars once again ended up with me not having working EV, so just going to post SS graphs. If anyone has some help on that, can PM me or post ITT. Basically I need to get all my HHs for the year (along with the tournament summaries) from PS because my hands are not all on this computer and I have a corruption in my HM2 archive. I've emailed stars twice with this request, and both times I got the HHs, my EV has not worked

Edit: As I type this 6/6 in the $320 PLO Omania High Roller thing that I last min late reg'd, 10k up top but I'm very short, lets spin it up!
