Sunday 500 seat iirc

yea wat IFWT said, it was a like 30 man double shootout and I didnt notice that my SS filter had all games instead of SNG only on...my bad

New graph coming in a bit with just SNG only

Ran another quick sesh, looking to get on another one after a quick dinner break. Ran pretty bad and still made nice profit; got 5th in at least 5 18 mans which was kinda sour, but profit is profit.

Like I said, i have time for maybe 40 more sngs at tops before I have to go meet my parents at Ruby Tuesday for dinner, then I might run some more games when I get home pending on how I'm feeling.

Top SS line is todays stats, 2nd one is since the first of the month and the graph is from the top of the month and im set on SNG's only now

Alright guys, time for a quick update. I ran ******edly bad at the beginning of both sessions tonight, and I ended up stopping TN at about 30 tourneys both times cuz of the running bad, and yet I turned them both into profit.

I finally got all my hands uploaded into HEM, and I'll be able to post my HEM graph now everyday along with my SS graph to confirm numbers etc. My SS line and HEM line dont match today as I started off the day on my desktop, so I'll just put the SS line on the day and then the HEM graph for the day.

I have never used a HUD to play with, but I am looking at the tourney HUD atm tonight and I will be working on it just to help with calling ranges on regs and for literally just about nothing else.

My ABI as you can see was $5.86 and my ROI 28.7% and my hourly $25.61 (real numbers), and with all in ev included it would be 38.6% and my hourly 34.43...I ran $44.09 under ev, or about 7.5 BI's under EV tonight.

Well, gonna end this for now...hoping to get back on the grind tonight with a HUD set up; gonna get in quite a few games tomorrow hopefully after I get home from church

Well, today I didnt get in as much volume as I would have hoped for, but I honestly wasn't feeling well and I could tell that I wasn't playing my best, so I quit at about 2pm and took a nap til just 15 minutes ago.

I'd like to give a shoutout to my buddy Dustin whose sitting top 5 of 30 left in a $340 Venetian tourney. He's on day 2 (I think its as 3 day event) atm and 72 cashed, the winner gets somewhere near 50k. GL to you dustin, hopefully you ship it (and I own 2% of his action out there for the month ).

I went back on chipmeup.com, and they changed a few things around on the site since the last time I was on there, and I invested a dollars into a few different guys just to see how it goes; I might try to build a little rep there by investing $'s in lots of guys and then trying to sell some of my action on days I play mtt's, or even see if I can sell packages to higher SNG's that I'm shottaking and then I would just buy a certain percentage of the package. I could do that on 2p2, just havent gotten around to it , and chipmeup is easier for selling shares imo.

I played 3 x 750 fpp shootouts to the sunday mil and bubbled 2 of the 3 . They are really soft and they get a lot of overlay every week, and I'm 2 for 8 in them overall.

I'm going to be mixing in some super turbo HU's on ftp when i'm not in grind mood on stars, and they seem to be really soft; the only bad thing is i only have a tiny roll on ftp so I'm stuck playing the $2s for a bit til I can shottake the $5s once I hit like $350 (only had $200 on ftp). I'm sure this will take just forever to be able to move up, but it's fine with me, I dont mind working on my HU endgame which will come in handy for at the end of 18/45/180s.

I'm not sure where HEM and SS are disagreeing on numbers, but it's only a slight difference and could be somehow in a time difference. I don't really know, and its such a slight difference per day that its nothing to worry about.

What games/stakes are you playing at the moment?I just cashed out some and planning on playing 2500 games this month,possibly will be seeing you at the tables,I'm starting at 2/3r/180s and 3/6/45s

life of a grinder is not as great as it..... what is a better word for appears

I'm playing mostly 18 mans this month after grinding out a few thousand 180s before that.

I do still mix in 45s though in teh beginning of seshes.

But so far this month ive played 3/6 45s, 6 18s

Idk how or why, but HEM didnt track my last session correctly at all. It says I played 22 tourneys, and I played 44 according to TN and SS, so I wont be able to give you a graph for that. I'm not sure why its messed up as it auto imports hands the entire time im playing.

Tomorrow I'm most likely going to a buddy's house during the day, so I probably wont get in much volume during the day, but I'm going to hope to get in 150 sng's in at night. I'm contemplating playing more games atm, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to muster up the courage

From the hands and tourneys that HEM on my laptop has tracked (it has 184 in it from July, 2010 atm), I am running about $100 under EV or about 19 BI's considering my ABI. I'll include that graph in this post even though it is missing some games in it. I'm really hoping I have HEM figured out by August so I can post 100% accurate and complete graphs that have every tourney accounted for. This month got messed up from the start since I was on the desktop for a week, which does not have HEM.

I just randomly decided im switching back to ftp for about 90% of all my games and I'm working on getting a 1k swap from stars for Ftp atm. I have a few reasons; one being rakeback which will help me in my current situation and going along that line is i wont be making supernova this yr so id rather have rakeback. I also think that I personally swing less on ftp as I play the 90 mans which are doublstacks and which have slower structures. Also, with my br atm, Im not comfy playing $12 180s or 12 45s on stars and even though 18s are nice, ill have a higher roi on ftp. This doesn't mean that I'm giving up on stars, i will still play a bit on there and maybe once im rolling in money ill put some on there for 12 180s to be run while im playing 45/90s on ftp.

My new screename on ftp is jsh1991 once again after i had it changed from joshua hoesel per the poker site changing (aka no MAing)

Yeah if youre not gonna make SN, FT is prob better. If you make iron every month til december, youll get a $600 end of year bonus plus another ~$50 each month from medals in addition to your rakeback and ftps.

Tableninja on FT kinda sucks though. It's sometimes really buggy for me.

check out rakebackpros.com

+1 on tableninja kinda sucking on FT, but i think this is a good decision for you jdawg. I playing about 4 of the 90 mans on the side of my rush games and they are very soft. (im only playing the $6 one thos). So gl and hope you run good of FT

No you don't have to create another account. Rakebackpros got me rake on an existing account; just sign up and give them your details.

P.S. this is definitely the wrong place to ask these questions lol

Good luck!

Probably a good choice to make that switch. The game selection and attainable ROI for a small stakes MTTSNG grinder is much better on FTP than Stars. You should be able to comfortably mix the 3/6/12 90 mans to keep your ABI down, and you can also run the 45's which imo are a bit easier than those on Stars.

Wow Nonline, you are trying pretty hard to hijack this thread.

Also, analyzing your allin chipev for sngs is pretty dumb.

Josh did ur investments switch from $420 to $422 or was that just me?

And, +1 on the move off of my 18man tables on stars. =P

Yeah showing how bad your chipev is in sitngos is dumb. You could run really bad early on when there are no bubble factors and good late when there are. That's why just giving an overall picture of how far below chipev you are is dumb.

Youre asking about rakeback and then complaining about how bad you are running. Get your own thread.

/hijack. gl on ft OP.

no worries. I thought you were just some random that chose his thread to post questions/beats.

Yep, definitely agree on RB being obviously my best choice if im not making SN. I dont use TN on ftp also btw, which is good cuz ive heard bad things about it even though stars is like perfect.

Yea, 90s definitely soft on ftp

Agreed, I can comfortably play the $13 90s on ftp atm cuz they fill slow enough that ill only be playing like 1 of them per 6 or 7 of the others. And Ftp 45s are the lolz compared to stars 45s in toughness...even the 26s on ftp are rlly rlly soft.

Haha, and yea, I've been investing small amounts on chipmeup.com, and for some reason i included it in my investments last night...sicko $2 investment i made (got back $5 though!!! Profit ).

Alright, so I got a swap and will be starting to play on ftp tonight. I will be mostly playing 90 man KO's/45 mans, and then I'll probably mix in a lot of the micro mtts on ftp that get smaller fields than the stars donkfests. I am going to continue to be investing small amounts on chipmeup and also here in the marketplace, and thats my main reason for leaving $500 on stars.

Oh and next sunday I might be playing the sunday mil with my Fpps for fun...I'll decide on that later or look in the store to see if theres anything else I want.

Btw, whats good to buy using my ftp's? I know I'll keep iron man medals to buy the bonuses once I accumulate them, but what about the ftp's i accumulate? This is mostly aimed towards the ftp grinders obviously.

What's your opinion on the structure difference between Stars and FTP 45s? Specifically top 6 paid and no antes. Good thread btw

well the ftp 45s are definitely waaaay softer than the stars 45s. The main difference is the ftp structure is slower than the stars one, and there is no antes. These games encourage tight play, whereas in the Stars 45s, you're expected to be snapping off with K2 blind on blind at T200/400+ Also, instead of having 15-20 regs in a game during the primetimes, you get at most 10 I would say.

Edit: the $75 45s on ftp are 100% softer than the $12 45s on stars (fwiw)
