Making $1,000,000 - Page 3 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

ever play this much volume before? i have to start everything over this monday and this is the kind of volume i have to put to get my life back on track(pretty similar to your situation) This thread will help me with the massive pain of grinding so much.

Sounds really similar to my situation. No, i used to play 40-60k hands per month. Never near this much volume before.

Right now its something like:
Ipoker> Party poker> Pokerstars> Microgaming> Ongame/PKR

Im from the US, so im kind of exparimenting with all the sites available to me now. I just got some money on ongame yesturday so im about to try a session there.

Pretty sure Americans can't play on any of those sites...

Yesturday was an awesome heater. Ill post a graph as soon as 888 emails me some hand histories and I import them. 95% of it was at shorthanded games, which always feels more satisfying than beating fish HU. I havent recieved my rakeback payments yet but they are sopposed to come tomarrow. Including them in my bankroll, I now have $11,500. That leaves me a $1500 shot at 200nl. After I get those hand histories I'll make a post summing up the 9 days or so that I played 100nl. Hopefully I wont lose the $1500 and have to return there. Im going to be very careful for the first day or 2 about what games I play to try to ensure a good start.

Well i wanted to make a long post about 100nl or whatever but i dont have much to say. Below is my total 100nl graph. Its likely ill play a little more 100nl in the future though. Ive been sitting 200hunl, and theres much less action, so if i feel like playing HU in the near future ill probubly sit some 100nl tables too.

Unfortunatly im off to a bad start to 200nl. And worse, i kind of dumped most of the money I lost. Im playing too many hours, too many hands, and too many tables. In the future im going to table select and play about 6 tables, with breaks every few hours.

if you want a tip for the mass tabling too long. Just tell yourself and feel that you will only withdraw and are only playing for rakeback.

After that you dont try to win $ and your winrate goes up.

Yea thats good advice.

For now my plan is to ramp it down to 6 tables and just really focus. I dont think i have a great brain for mass tabling.

I played 8-10 tables of 6max most of the time. Holdem manager says it took 110 hours. Lol so i guess i was playing 11 hours per day or so.

How do you feel about the quality of the games you're playing right now? I mean I know these stakes aren't going to be that difficult for you since you were an HSNL reg but are you optimistic about the state of games as you rise in stakes?

Some real life things hit me really hard financially right before black friday. I do have a decent amount on fulltilt/cereus but nothing epic. I think I have like 40k wrapped up.

How do you deal with Table setup when playing 8+ ? on iPoker if I tile they all go on one monitor and the cascade feature always ends up not poping tables up and timing out as well.

gl, will be subbing
