The legend Seabeast itt ladies and gentleman, tyty

#bowlgrind with obstacles

Started at 9AM, quite some exciting mtts in the schedule with micro millions going on (sun)

Had quite some issues with my softwares, got HM1 running again but somehow didn't work for 888 and ftp. Stack&Tile froze midway too, Winamax didn't reconnect for an hour until I could restart my laptop on break and then froze on ft where I was 3 handed. Only a small 10€ Kill The Fish, I was 2/3 with slightly more chips than 3rd and 1st had them all - basically got 2nd place € so that's cool with me
Brunch on Winamax was my last mtt to save the session, was a pretty akward ft stack-wise and I just had to nit it up then lost A6s<A9s BU vs SB against the monster-leader.

Just didn't run well enough deep, only lost ~250$ so that's ok with me. Might not have played the 180 ft optimal, gonna play around with Nash and review some hands tonight hopefully. Went deep in a MM Event again, the 3.3$ PNL [The Big Game Format] but avg. stack was like 20bb and I lost a flip iirc.

Runs

• Sunday Special Sat 100€
• 2nd 10€ Kill The Fish
• 4th 10€ 6max KO Turbo Stars.fr
• 6th 20€ Brunch Winamax
• 7th 8/180
• 8th 22$ deepstack 888

Back at it early tomorrow, gla tonight.

Wednesday Bricks

• 1st 10€ Turbo Winamax
• 7th 20€ Midi Express
• 10th typhoon 888
• 14th 26$ ftp

Not too much to say about this, bought and played around with holdem resources - made a mistake at the ft of Midi Express but oh well.

Friday? VALUEDAY!

Sold a package here on 2+2 and managed to profit, got 2nd in the Tornado 109$ for 2.1k$
Had an absurd day with a pretty insane amount of deepruns, so not gonna moan about bad luck. That 34th in the glorious 1$r 3x turbo obv sucks, but I didn't even get that mad - never even thinking of beeing luckbox enough to win a tourney like this just seems unreal.

Honestly just really happy today went well, that was on the riskier side brm-wise

• 2nd Tornado 109$
• 2nd 22$ dp 888
• 4th 11$ turbo ftp
• 5th Tea Time
• 5th TenneR
• 7th monsoon 55$
• 8th 11$ early antes ftp
• 19th 21$ super KO
• 34th 1$r 3x turbo 60k$ gtd
• 46th 5€r storm

as you can see, #teamcantclose was in full effect. Super happy about the session tho, did some disciplined laddering and played really well overall.
Made a new data base for HEM2 yesterday and that did help altho I still had some freezes with 18+ tables which I always have, really need to get that new computer. Also need to sort out the issue that Winamax stats "go to" other tables when overlapping. Lost sleep about a new table-setting layout last night and updated it to this in stack&tile:



really <3 it, have 8 table with just a small overlap to focus on and 2 stacks of 6 tables that don't need full focus.

BR

Back to ~8.6k$ which makes me feel pretty comfortable, hoping to finally closing out and getting that 5-fig BR

You also a SaT User? Should be pretty easy to set up if so


B- Game

Got up at 8AM and was semi-ready for the early grind. Was pretty tired and honestly didn't play well at all today which resulted into dropping 1.2k$ (rain)
Oh well, it's a sunday after all, just need to make sure not forcing myself to sessions too much and have the discipline to unregall earlier if I realize my bad play. Played my first 55$ on ftp this morning, busted f2t with 9 paid aks<qq for heaaps so that was a bad start

Runs

• 5th 7$ turbo 888
• 10th typhoon 55$
• 18th midi express

Graphs

Finally cleaned up HM2, here's a yearly graph of my overall alias:




Week





Month





Back to work tomorrow, still gonna try and play at least 3 sessions next week. Gla grinding the big ones, mostly DanteA and OneH1tWonder that could still save my sunday

oh yeah, if someone needs 888 $$ - get at me, need skrill/ftp/stars

Gj man! Keep it up.

Re S&T: what do you get out of the program that you can't do do with tn2/ninja tile? I struggle to see the point of it but I'm probably missing the point?

Thx bud

I'm sure you could set up the same thing without paying ~15$ a month, I'm just a lazy **** that likes to spend money good thing is it includes every site, ipoker as an example wouldn't work with tn2 iirc.

Haha I hear that. it just seems so expensive. $180 a year/$540 every 3 years!! TN2 actually does work with iPoker now and 888 is in beta too.

Yup, you're right - just remembered that I don't have to type in the bet amounts on there anymore.
Gonna wait until 888 works properly, just makes up too much of my schedule (probably 2nd wrt volume after stars).

In general tho, I like your thought proccess BUT that might be the key why I never will be playing poker fulltime probably, I'm just no value hunter. I give away sooo much money irl where a little bit of organizing would just erase these costs, but I have so much going on (poker, work, hockey, gf etc.) that I just don't bother and try to enjoy the few hours off instead of organizing my ****...#leaks

Slowly getting better at it tho, just can't keep throwing hard earned (sometimes at least ) money out of the window #firstworldproblems

Bro, it sounds like we have all the same leaks. We're such life fish!

happy I'm not alone with this, room to improve right there haha

I feel like every 888 mtt these days is just regfilled or maybe I Just started to pay attention to it, thoughts on that? Glgl

Can't really share that feeling, just talking about <109$ as I don't play higher.
I did check f2t of the tornado I got 2nd in on friday tho and was pretty surprised how many regs were in there, pretty sure there's a small playerpool of recs that click >55$ mtts, but honestly even the regs seem pretty bad.

I don't have a big sample and it could obv be that I just run hotter than the sun on there, but me being a decent rec/mediocre "reg" crushing the site with ~60% ROI tells me it's still pretty damn soft imo

yeah... i will always push ur edges mirco... remember the frenchsite thing :P

#lazy****ersunited

like I said, always happy to get reminded what's best... altho .fr sites still need to let me run a bit better

Mindgame

Got back to work yesterday, kinda happy to be back after 2 weeks at home even tho I'd be ready to pretty much grind 5 days a week atm. Went to a "career planner" and will probably totally change direction, have some options I'll have to think about and will set myself dates to make a decision/dig deeper into the specific industry/sectors.

Have my mind wrapped around poker pretty much 24/7, something I haven't experienced in a long time. Working on setup, looking for new desktop/monitor, watching vids etc.
Started to post a bit in MSMTT too, just wanna make sure I get a bit of content out of this site instead of just wasting time derping around in MTTc/PG&C etc.
Did a short review with Alex of my TenneR run on monday, probably gonna drop a bunch of tables this week as a result of all the content I've been grinding - just drastically need to improve and honestly don't handle 16+ tables that well if I add sats too.

Kinda wanna cut out some variance too, not sure what the next few sessions will look like as I have a bunch of options I'm thinking about. Need $$$ to pay for the setup and still be comfortable to grind a nice schedule

Setup

Wanna buy a desktop, not sure if I just want to buy components and build it myself #tiltalert or just buy smth already set, probably just wasting money on the second tho.

Alex did put smth together ~6 months ago, know I'll need i5+(?), 250GB+ SSD, 8GB+ Ram and a good power adapter?!

Looking to basically copy the setup of rckyu, posted here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...postcount=1169

Def. gonna order this one as a first step:



Couldn't find the 17" in local onlinestores yet, just wanna have it as neat/fitting as possible as my current setup is meh, old 21/22" on the right, this on the left:


Anyway, rambled enough. contentgrind tomorrow, playing on wednesday, gla

Yeah def buy components and build it yourself, it's not rocket science.
The stuff you listed seems sufficient and agree on 27"+ monitors with 1200p+, I'm still stuck with some 27" 1080p and it's annoying when I want to pull more tables aside but can't.

If anyone's interested, trying to sell some last minute action as plans changed and I'm able to play weeee http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh....php?t=1393290

Nice thread to read, seems like you're doing well on your own! Good luck and leggo!

Thx for reading bud, was nice to get back in touch with you yesterday

The withered grind

Last two days haven't been too good, managed to not lose a ton which already seems like a success to me tbh Might've dropped ~400$ iirc.

Yet another f2t of the Hot 33$ in the books #turbomist, also had a deep run in the Hot20€, got 2nd in a 22$ deepstack on 888 (played my worst HU ever), 6th FiveR etc.

Not much to say, been dropping down tables but probably increased my ABI which I'm not quite sure is optimal. New monitor should be on the way and delivered until monday, can't wait to set that up. Need to win a bit more before ordering the components for my new computer, honestly just should've gone with ordering that first as a good working system should be the key when grinding but yeah it was just that much easier to know with which monitor to go #lazy****itt

Don't have the list of my deep runs here at work, but might just shower those lists anyways - who cares, in the end it counts how much profit there was made... Hope to end the month with a bang tomorrow, really sad I can't play tonight but w/e. Need to catch up with my social life a bit, so it's another early session tomorrow - prob better to keep variance low at this point anyways, might even just grind 180s/sats and make it a short one.

Have been going trough the lobbys of smaller player pool sites for ~2 hours after last two sessions, just scopeing people and making notes to know who I'm up against daily / for game selection etc.
Decided to not go to that liveament in Campione in January, just doesn't make sense as noone wants to come with, better off just grinding online and saving money.

Can't seem to make graphs work, just gonna include them in the month summary post coming this weekend or next week.

gla on the weekend
