ayyy lady updates back in thread

What games count towards sharkscope leaderboard? Is that just SNG's? Seems like anyone who binks a sunday million or w.e would be top of profits based on the filters it seems are on there?


Do you agree on Pads post from few years ago that anything 5bb/100+ ev chips in mtts is winning but lots of room to improve, 7+ is strong reg at those stakes / 10+ is crusher and should move up (if im remembering his quote properly?) (wondering if you feel things have changed with the rake updates / payout changes etc , curious when checking my own stats typically)

glgl on scoop , seems like every table im at has someone with turbo kings logo as avatar - unsure of which are fans and which are staked/being coached though haha

Cool updates man, too bad no investments open in scoop but understand why gl anyways in scoop and will probably see you in some of the hyper turbo satties ��

Haha, yea kind of just post stuff as I feel like it. Sometimes in the sharing mood, sometimes not

So that overall SNG LB I posted yesterday is just all SNGs for the 2018 YTD. MTTs have their own LB and of course guys who are opted in and have big binks during COOPs usually finish high on those LBs. That's why I made the comment that (imo) it's even more impressive that even though I'm down at $100+ stake SNGs this year, I'm still #1 on the overall SNG LB for the moment

I'm really not educated enough @ MTT related content to really give a proper answer. That is about what I remember from Pads post and based on my work with BBZ, I would say that is ~ what BBZ's opinion is as well. There's lots of small stuff that can affect this though. Guys like Lipo, who was in the near past grinding a super optimal (from an hourly perspective) schedule with a huge amount of games played per session and using lots of late regging etc tactics are likely going to have a lower overall evbb/100 and probably a lower avg ROI, but doesn't mean he isn't making significantly more money than someone who crushes for 10+evbb/100.

I too have been seeing a lot of TK avatars, it's nice to see . Def some are either staked or profit sharing players and some are just friends of the stream, great stuff anyway

Gl during SCOOP my friend


Thanks much, GL to you as well...hopefully the SNG issue is fixed soon, quite tilting!

________________________________________________

SNGs are still ****ed up. This is going to be really annoying having to grind SCOOP like this if it's not fixed. Negatively affecting the hell out of the SNG challenge too as it's making grinding any real table count really difficult.

Basically, in short, the lobby lags every few minutes and if your game fills during this lag, the table won't pop but the game does start per normal (so you're sitting out). Effective rake is huge, but worse is that there's a trick where some people on a low table count are able to sometimes steal chips from people while the lag is happening (and most players are sitting out). Not going to post it as I figured it out myself, but it requires you to be playing a super small table count and paying attention really well....very ****ing tilting.



I'm probably going to put in a quick session of 25bb and SKOs in a few hours just so I get more practice. Tomorrow will play as well and just cut out my lowest buyins I guess and see how it goes. Hopefully it will be fixed at some point soon. Has to have something to do with the server reset on Thursday morning as it started after this





Meh, annoyed due to the ****show, so going to just post the updated challenge stats and get back to the study grind for a bit. Having trouble concentrating this week when I've been online too, wasted a lot of time . Need to buckle down and get through a bunch of sng spots today

Also I need some PIO related help if anyone that's reputable and good with PIO wants to help me. It should be easy, just integrating some ranges into PIOviewer....normal guy who helps me with stuff is AFK the past days and don't want to pay BBZ's hourly to help me with this as I'm sure he would

Can throw a few bucks your way for the help. PM or hit me up on facebook if you have me there

such an animal man it's unreal

Did you get a refund?
Problem there was mostly 1player who wasnt effected of the sitout also had to quit the session.

Hey, i notice in Sharkscope that you're losing in all 68$+ 16mans for like 5k games, do you think you're running bad, or those higher limit shootouts are just dead, or require lower table count and focus to be +EV? Anyway GL with the SCOOP grind:P

haha thanks man, hope all is well with you, need to catch up to your pgc soon

no refund no, doubt we would get one either

5k game sample of 16mans especially is just such a pretty meaningless sample overall...people still really don't understand the amount of variance possible. I am something like 100k chips under EV just 2-2handed in them (first table) and definitely have run bad at FTs in the 68s and 134s.

Same thing with HS 25bb, each year, the sample I put in for the entire year at $1ks is just meaningless overall. Which is obv why I have my grind set up the way I do where I own dime my low stake games that I print at and play INF of and put the HS stuff and MTTs on stake

Thx and gl as well during SCOOP


_______________________________________________

Lag issue was better today. Spoke with PS Luke and he is def doing his best to make it such that there are the fewest disruptions possible. Am hoping it holdssss for SCOOP, really would be miserable for everyone (recs, regs, Luke himself, etc) if there are tons of issues due to this

Put in like half a grind today. Was really tough at first, I felt so rusty and just like 12 tabling was difficult. Took me a few hours to get back into the groove. This is why I don't really ever let more than 2 days go without me playing as then your brain starts to readjust. I've also just been so so so ****ing tired and sleeping all the time this past week. Body and brain adapts to what is 'normal,' and that's why I keep myself that busy and keep grinding all the time. Am definitely looking forward to grinding my ass off the next few weeks, barring any issues due to lag ofc

Gla tomorrow, big big Sunday! Hopefully no lag and I can put up 2000+ games!

You mentioned that you have a huge advantage in the 16man low buy ins.

Of course you not give away any specific details your knowledge , but maybe you could answer one very basic question.

If i got it right then once second table is reached nash allows very wide pushing as calling ratio should be really low (4 handed or 3 handed bubble if not covering the shoove significantly). But in low stakes the people calling that damned too much that it loooks to me it significantly hurts both the one shooving and the one calling. How you adapt to that, still just pushing as wide as nash (as you think that is long term still very profitable) or do you have a rough population tendency for the calling rate that stakes and run then the simulations for that to figure out the optimal push range ?

Sorry for spamming here. Just forget my previous question, i guess i should better put in some work myself to better understand this structure (have played a lot 25BB Hypers before, but not Hyper Satellites) before raising any questions here

So never mind, just ignore it.

And yeah very inspiring threat, really sick work ethic (like mentioned by many comments before).

With the volume you get at 1ks 25bb hyper cash, i dont think it is worth loading them. You will never get enough sample, especially now, that stars banned the people who were cheating. Looking at your ss, you got less than 200 games in 4-5 months, even if you are 3-4% at the current state of games (thats a random assumption) you might consider other options

I am pretty sure you will keep loading though

Gl as always

Haha no worries, hyper sat strat is one of the few things i won't even touch though anyway

Yea that's why I sell some of the action off of the stake BR back to jama to the HS 25bb so that I am indifferent to the $ swings at 500 and 1k. Makes it so that I can just load everything and variance is same

Gl during SCOOP my friend


____________________________________________

Well, really weird day. Was super super super slow from like 1 hour before start of the Warmup (Event 3) until like 30 mins before the start of the Mil (Event 4). Before that and then the following few hours was tons of traffic and hard to keep up with.

HS volume was sick bad all day, quite sad but kind of expected. Actually didn't even play the 1k Kickoff, 2k PSKO Warmup of 2k Mil as I didn't win a seat to it in the first 2-2.5 hours so said **** it. Am still in the 1k 6max close to the $ although going in the wrong direction right now. 2nd to last hand of day 1 lost a huge pot in the 215 psko warmup. Still have like 35bb going to day 2 though so hopefully can spin it back up




Check this out, today's graph and then the first day of SCOOP 2015, what a difference lol

2015 1st day of SCOOP




Today











Hope everyone had a good sundayfunday. Gonna finish up in this 1k and then have a lot of studying to do. Legs are absolutely killing me, probably going to do hot/cold treatment with them today. Ruseman got me going on that grind and I think it's going to be life changing...that's how he described it and after doing it once last week, I think I'm going to agree heh

215s staying rigged, for nice stack + bounty with 50 left in the 215 warmup...on to the next


gla today, great sng action for me today which is nice

anyways glgl for the rest of SCOOP!

Haha welp. Yea GL out there as well my friend, I'm sure I'll see a lot of you


____________________________________________

Got a pretty efficient grind in today. Started at 7am with the Hot 33 and was done not too long after Hot 109 late reg sats, something like 7 hour session and >1k games played.

Got a good amount of traffic to the 1k psko event today, more than I was expecting tbh. Will be interesting to see how much traffic there is tomorrow

Day graph




2015 first monday of scoop graph....that was so much fun yesterday, I might just relive that each day by looking up my graph from 2015 lulz















Have run a ****ton of sims, more tonight than the previous week combined. Sadly I still have a TON of sat sng studying I want to get in. Hopefully will pound out another 150+ spots tomorrow night after the grind so that I'm feeling really good going into Wednesday.

Am about to do the hot/cold treatment on my feet, putting on cannabis oil and then will be reading with legs raised for 30 mins before passing out. Legs and feet are super super sore, did the treatment last night too and got a massage today, so hopefully will be feeling a lot better in the morning when I wake up


Have had a few people ask me about this, here's wiki link for cryotherapy. Will have to take a quick vid at some point talking a bit more about it. Think Lebron James might have one of those chambers at his house, pretty sick if so. Ruseman introduced me to this treatment for my feet and said 'it will change your life' and it's def been a huge help, I am probably going to see about finding some bigger buckets so I can get up to knee deep in both hot + cold. Gotta see about that post SCOOP
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryotherapy

Just going to post graphs and gtfo! Been on the study grind for a bit, got a lot more to get through and then going to do hot/ice treatment and get to bed. Quite tired tonight and will be another long day tomorrow of course

Pretty absurd how back in 2015 I had already made 15k in RB in the first 3 days of SCOOP


Day






Day 3 of SCOOP in 2015...was not a good day




2015 first 3 days of SCOOP, swong city

I really like the kick-back graphs to 2015 to compare! GG so far and of course GL for rest of scoop

I don't think that all of the emotions and fun while opening chests can make up for it though!

All the best in the SCOOPs, subbed to all of your blogs and all of them are fire

BTW, some questions if you don't mind
1) what is more exhausting for you (mentally) - grinding a lot more volume of sats at lower stakes, but with kickass wr VS grinding HS in the past with a lot higher RB etc but with crazy swings?
2) at some point you started to mention *.fr-es; sats also run there or you play just MTTs? (I've might miss the induction somewhere in the past )
3) is your stable opened atm? where you can find some info about coaches / games/ terms etc -the website is under construction
Thanks,


GL!!!!

Jdawg! I've been out of the game for a couple of years and I see you're still killin' it. Get 'em.

Yea I was really diggin the kickback graphs as well! Planned to do them every day but then was just short on time and didn't even have a chance to make a post. Thx and gl as well

Haha wadduppp, I'm still out here trying!

Heyo, thanks for the kind words. The chests really have us ****ed, I was so infuriated at myself the day I binked a $500 chest and was so happy....was like 'wtf, this is still like ****ing peanuts compared to back in SNE era'

1. It's definitely more mentally (and physically) exhausting playing the super high table count at the lower abi. The HS swings never once even slightly got to me, I really am completely emotionless when playing. The 2 days I lost 6figs I never once yelled (Ruse publicly attested to that on facebook ) or got remotely upset, and the day I shipped the SCOOP 2k, finishing off a ridiculous upswing, I didn't get super excited or anything...my friends were certainly much more excited about it than I was heh.

2. I advised the .es/.fr tournament director @ hyper sats and helped them create a much better sat offering than they had. Was important for SCOOP and I honestly think they had like 7-10x as much traffic as they would have at the sat games due to me and my suggested changes. I basically just played the €250 Thurs psko major and €100 sunday special a few times and then FCOOP over there.

3. I'm going to PM you the skype contact for the guy who receives all applications and whatnot. Spades (guy you'd be contacting) is the man, helps out with absolutely everything and Bfizz would be ****ed without him. The website should be done sometime soonish, I really don't have anything to do with the stable at this point...it's all Bfizz. BBZ and I mostly just coach/review with Bfizz and he's constantly improving and therefore his coaching is constantly getting better.





__________________________________________

Damn, I've had so much **** on my plate that I haven't even had time for an update. I'm also having a lotttt of problems with my legs and am having to do a lot of work on them every day in order for me to be able to get through my days.

I will be going to a vein specialist or something like this once SCOOP is over, I actually need to message my assistant Susy about this when I'm done making this post. I need her to search for the best specialist in Tijuana and book me an appointment.

We (Ruse, Shana, myself) think this is what I have. Basically need to just go check to make sure that if there are any blood clots, that I get them taken care of. Will be making a lot of small changes so that I hopefully will be good to go in the near future.

My father has very similar issues in his legs and has his own vein Dr that he goes to. My mom described the operation he had last summer as 'roto-rooting the veins in his legs.' But yea, pretty timbeyz but what can you do..just have to deal with it and make some lifestyle changes to help myself






Anyway, I have a ton of studying to get through and then need to go outside and take a walk and then come in and do treatment on the my legs. Not much has been going my way in the MTTs, honestly haven't paid attention to how SNGs have gone so I will be looking for the first time in a few days as I search SS and then post my graph below



Lolz, ABI difference is so ridic. Nice $40k of RB in 9 days in 2015 as well . I looked and at this point post RB was -$145,000 at the $3.5ks and then up ~$70k at $720s and below lulz



2015 SCOOP first 9 days






2018 SCOOP first 9 days

Just got on the grind a few mins ago. Soon after getting into bed last night, got hit up by Nick...truck was on its way back to his house. Worked out perfectly, had just finished up all the necessary to get done **** in the 6 weeks we had there. Still a ton of **** to finish up, but engine job prob like 90% of the way done now at this point

Got towed by a towtruck with the same 7.3L engine that I have heh. As I've said, many 18wheelers/semis/tractor trailers, tow trucks, city buses etc use the 7.3, really is a workhorse engine


Anywayyy, gla on the grind today, getting more traffic early than I was expecting which is nice

Quick grind today, just sitting here playing the $215 Mini Super Tues on my side computer and got my accounting caught up and am going to start studying once I'm done with this post

Still haven't played a 2k yet this SCOOP, hardly any 270 16 man / 720 6man action, quite sad. Oh well, at least LS action has been really nice and games good and I've been doing well for myself.

The lack of HS action got me thinking back to those graphs I posted in my OP. Spins being released really was the beginning of the end for many players, and then when PS cut SNE after 2015 it definitely was either the end or beginning of the end for a whole slew of players. Lower stake regs started getting pushed down because former SNEs or higher stake regs were starting to move down due to lack of action at HS/changing their grind up/whatever it might be. A lot of serious rec players who were slight winners at the stakes they played were now b/e at those stakes and had probably had to move down. Rec players who were slight losers were now losing more. Etc etc, it really did affect nearly everyone and comparing SS leaderboards in 2018 to even back to 2013 is pretty crazy



Updated graphs




Copy from the OP











And a quick day graph. If I bust my last MTT, I'm thinking of making a completely announced trip to crash the party at the Turbokings stream lab . Apparently TimmyOx is in town and grinding over there. I can't even buy a ****ing bfizz response on FB or Skype so I had no clue, apparently I'm not important enough

Hitting that 1m mark must've felt awesome , ty for the updates gl grinding

That missclick in the 1k

10% rakeback holly **** man, stars really killing poker
