Questions

I just said its the same result as PT4. I use both because when I import in PT4 it is much slower than HEM2. Literally in HEM2 I can import my entire database in like 2 hours. In PT4 that would take something like 24hours even with my SSD -- it works with multiple files very slowly. The only reason I bought HEM2 was just to give you guys updates basically, I don't use it for anything else.

Why not just use PT4, when I auto-import with PT4 there is a PT4 bug and PT4 crashes during sessions. This causes it to noticably drop games (the $profit result is often wrong.) I have found even reimporting doesn't work because of how tournament summaries work or something. The only way to actually get it to work is to purge that day and then reimport. It is a very big hassle.


Doesn't want attention? It's anyone's guess.

Tell us more about your PC please.

zima mentioned in his thread that mouldy had a small health issue that slowed his pace and that he stopped updating things because he no longer is interested in trying to attain any promotional stuff like team online. No idea why the change of heart, but hopefully he still throws us a quick update after he hits first SNE because it has been fun to follow his progress.

First I am surprised you wanted your post deleted, these are good questions

Study, I haven't been studying much... I have a backlog of about 200 hands if thats any indication (I mark hands as I play)

I think a key part is to develop a comprehensive game that considers both all possibilities and the entire hand. Once you have that / get to that point where you consistently develop the right "type" of answer, then studying becomes more optimal.

I will PM you some tips, hopefully this gives you a lot of ideas. It comes down to knowing the game, and at high stakes where you play few opponents, knowing your opponents.


I think the factor is mainly physical, and also the number of games running. I think my energy has declined significantly, in part due to not maintaining my body effectively enough.

Listening.. mostly EDM, sometimes rap/rnb.

Can u pm that to me as well?

This for me too please, been following thread for a bit nice to see you back on track gl.

I doubt skater is going to PM anyone which leaves 0 people PMing, so no need to ask

gl sir

So you are about to reach the first SNE a little less than two months in, how do you feel? Are you setting your sites lower? Do you intend on finishing out the year? Fwiw my impression of multiway AIEV calcs is that they are very inaccurate.

gl!

Hey guys a quick update

So I am back on the grind soon, I have been taking an extended break which feels pretty good, mostly been working on some server code for the game project, watching movies, had a chance to get outside a bunch of times too.

BR $82,965
VPP 917,327

Here is a pic of my office, I will just note down some things you can't see from this view



Peripherals -- Keyboard -razer blackwidow stealth, I also use the "ironclad" mousepad, m500 logitech mouse I've gone through 5 of these but I still like them a lot, gunnar halogen.

I have a whiteboard to the left I write some crap I should do. I usually also have a notebook infront of me, write down stuff I wanna review after. Don't usually use/need towel anymore, not sweating while playing anymore really. (In part less sweating big swings, also less sweating because playing much less tables.)

When I am bored I will like 6 table while playing piano, if you notice me timing down while low tabling its likely me doing this.

Also I considered getting a 30" but its kind of frivolous as I use very little screen space when stacking, but I might one day. Right now just two 24"s.

I think I will stay at 6x pace more or less, but I may burst out some games here and there. I think if I went hard 12x is still possible in a month, so one big month can make up for 3 avg months if I still want to 8x. Not sure where my priorities are right now, we will see in a bit.

Tbh I think I am more shook than I should be from running bad and it has a negative effect, but I'll just try to push through, I definitely want SNE by the end of the month.

Oh theres also a humidifier and heater and backup power and a bunch of internet stuff (I have two internets)

Oh man, what I wouldn't give for a piano by my grind station.

More on piano station!! What songs do you play? Do you improvise?
What condenser microphone is this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-task_paradigm
Which tasks do you think you could do well while 20 tabling? :P

lol at playing piano while 6 tabling

Did anyone else picture OP's grindstation looking slightly diff?

Gotta start somewhere amirite

notepad is a good idea. Have you considered using a digital recorder or some kind of speech to text program? Im in the process of trying to improve my note taking and getting down the other stuff i think of ingame that i want to review later.

My tablet is nexus7 which has speech to text, but I write extraordinarily fast anyways

Btw not really feeling it today, only played 9k vpps

I use dragon naturallyspeaking soft for this, its great for that kind of stuff imo

What'd you get with your $1600 pokerstars store shopping spree? Backup monitors?

this so much tho

Blue glow looks pretty cool imo

is that a Herman Miller Embody chair ? Any good ?

My aeron is coming to the end of its life.
