Probably not tbh. i don't think i'll be able to find the time to consistently do it, which is the only real way of making it work.

Will obviously let the thread know if i do decide to though

thank you mate! We gunna see each other at a live stop this year?!

Thanks for all the guys, i forget that there are so many people reading/lurking/enjoying/hating this thread

Had a nice rostucko for the first day of grinding in 2018



Punishment dealt vs PGCers turn call



not the wurst river



More grinding tomorrow.

I have 4 more days off before the chaos of uni starts again

glgl

Man you are such a godmoder

dunno what you're talking about

Haven't study poker for a minute since middle of 2016.. also I'm back to school (also 200 is super comfy) . Very nice to see you're doing well, have a great 2018!

you forgot to mention the award for the bigest bumhunters godmoding z500

but I guess the list would be too long!

Aint got nothing on me. Opened like 80 chests, got $2 cash, BA LLIN!! Though I play 16nl it still sucks!

Proper football, although I have to call it soccer now! I'm from England originally but poker took me on a random trip to Canada 5 years ago and have been here on and off for 5 years now.

I've been making a conscious effort to send out a quick message when I feel someone has been helpful/interesting etc. Whether it's 2+2, twitter, discord or wherever.

So thanks again for all the time you put into the thread!

How is the crypto portfolio looking?
Are you just in the larger stuff, or picked up any smaller coins/tokens?

Biggest lurker in history subscribing. Well done on last year. Really inspiring PCG.

Lol at fish whisperer results. I'm looking forward to seeing some more hand histories from your reg wars (and Greg wars) this year.

ahh, fair enough man. 200z is definitely comfy for you

you too man, gl in 2018

the list certainly would be endless

lmao it's a total joke it's the price we play to play on teh greatest site of all time!

sweeeet, what position to you play? If you're ever in london you could take smb's spot he's never here anymore

Seems like a cool strat and helps to maintain accountability + motivation.

Crypto has gone very well so far. Think im like up 50% on my original investment. I own about 16 currencies in total - BTC LTC ETH and then 13 alt coins. Any advice for me?!

haha, i definitely don't recognise your sn, so you must be a pretty good lurker

Thank you, I'm glad you're able to take something away from the thread!

lmao greg wars I'll see what whispering i can do

Played close to my best possible poker today. Super pleased but just had the worst hand a lot.



I whispered to this rec, but for some reason he ignored me?!



Good hand my friend



Got one through



Will be playing tomorrow and then going out for ishter bday tomorrow night. Happy bday piggy

Used to be a winger but play centre mid mostly now. My high-level playing days are mostly over. I work as a director at a club, strategic development, coach education and curriculum building mainly.

My portfolio is pretty simple. I weight my portfolio towards volume weighted market cap and I readjust roughly every week.

So atm the bulk of the portfolio looks like this:

BTC 39%
XRP 18%
ETH 15%
BCH 6%
ADA 5%

(Weight being percentage of portfolio by VWMC)

I don't follow rigidly, but keep things loosely near those figures.

For example, i'm looking for a partial exit from ripple soon. Once it gets released on coinbase, i'll be hoping for a pump then offloading a chunk. I don't think the project is particularly good overall.

Then for smaller investments, I check the team, roadmap and whitepaper. Then punt some smaller amounts into the projects I like the look of.

Currently, I like:

BAT
STRAT
GNT
OMG
KMD
QTUM

Late congrats on your epic year mate! Incredibly work in 2017!

sounds like you've got a lot going on which is awesome.Interesting you're holding onto XRP, i sold 2/3 of that a bit ago, obviously the wrong choice in hindsight haha.

I'll check out some of your other alts, thanks!

thanks a lot mate! good luck in 2018

Played really well again today and put in significant volume. Shame to drop 4bi back in the latter stages. Back to evens for the year



Making monumental back door hit



Punished vs rec



Yucky vs same guy



The dream runout



the gods line from rec



Going for sushi and drinks, then got some stuff at uni tomorrow afternoon. Will put an evening session in.

It's my biggest gamble so far for sure. Banking on coinbase continuing to be a bit shady and putting some new coins in after denying they have any coins coming.

We'll see what happens, up infinite from the first buy so have a few potential exits points that i'll reassess when the time comes.

If anyone has any solid advice to the contrary, let me know!

#teamgregory

at least im not teh only one seeing teh sun for wat it really is

GG for the 2017 Ben realy good year for you
Isnt the Ak river call a bad one, from vilains prespective since we are value heave in that spot ?

Forgot to drop by and congratulate on the big year Ben! Well done, sick results my man.

Run better ffs

-AverageGreg

Coinbase, major company looking to adhere to regulation, who just had an absolute **** show with BCH with huge accusations of insider trading with tons of accumulation in the build up to the announcement of it, are unlikely to publicly deny they are adding Ripple, and then add Ripple. Sell.

XRP meets most of the guidelines for the Digital Assets Framework that Coinbase has in place for new offerings.

There is a lot of (potentially misguided) public support for adding it.

The coinbase blog only says they have not officially announced they are adding Ripple, not that they won't be adding it at all.

"As of the date of this statement, we have made no decision to add additional assets to either GDAX or Coinbase"

Like I said previously, it's a gamble but i'm going to hold in the short term at least.

Been a while since I checked this thread. Congrats on 2017 Ben - great results (50nl confirmed unbeatable tho). When poker finally dies we’ll know where all the money went. Best of luck for 2018.

PS is this a crypto thread now? 🤩
