Hahah thats funny, coulda slept on the floor in between my condo and jllama's imo .

Yea that would get me 2mil vpps, my main problem is I'm still not playing 36+ hrs per week on avg . But yea, maybe after this prop bet runs, I can just focus on something like that, thought i was gonna be able to do 5 8 hr days w/out much problem but apparently I cannot.

_______________________________________________

Welp, kinda fcked up again, Sunday games are usually pretty **** late morning-mid/late afternoon my time, so probably gonna just relax for a while and get on the grind mid afternoon and grind til late night/early morn.

Gla on the sundayfunday grind!

Congrats for the results and gl!

What roi% do u have on hypers 200s-500s? Do you think that is possible to have a 0-5-1% of roi, without making selection?

Thx, I chose to drop stakes when PS added $300s and $500s and instead of playing $200s-500s, right now I'm just playing $60s-100s, although I plan to start adding in some soft $200 6m in the future again.

Without game selecting, I don't think a 1% roi is achievable, maybe the best 1-3 players in those games could be like 0.25-0.5% but I also don't really pay attn to how gross those games pop as I'm not playing them.

5:45 and 0 hands of poker played . Oh well, games are usually **** on Sunday afternoons anyway, just woke up from a short nap and gonna go grab food from mongolian grill and then come back and get on the grind after eating.

Updated PS month graph:






Updated redline graph since moving down stakes Jan 18th:

Unstuck yeahhhhh. Nice day bud, bound to happen.

Sir Dildo, I'm tempted to fly to Rosa to give you a hug. I'll be in Palm Springs in 6 weeks so you better turn it around by then, I don't wanna deal with the Mexican border.

Forgot to add graph of ftp and ps put together, month pre rb between both sites, lol at being -20k pre rb at one point this month at that abi



(hifive) for sure, Palm Springs is just north of San Diego yea? You coming down to Mexico or we coming to you!?

enjoy reading about your grind and extra curricular activities. subbed and gl this yr dude

Hey guys this is Ruse. Failed it up again on the freeroll so the 2 guys who had today lmk your stars or paypal info and ill ship and i still think i owe one from last week. Lee i think you have today so HMU on skype.

Jdawg posting some of my graphs, dropped a ton more today. Ill have a little pity party for myself in this post and then im gonna try and put it out of my mind and just grind for a while. Pretty tough when every sessions is just more ridiculous than the last and im having to drop down so as not to bust my roll but the worrying and the stress dont help and the negativity is affecting both my game and normal life.

So heres all sngs since last sunday. Think 250 abi under ev is my worst ever run, might have had similar on merge but abi was way lower back then. But its pretty standard as far as runbad goes and guys like WK have had literally 5x worse so i really need to just get over it.


Majority of it has come from 6m in the last week. Heres that graph. Just really tilting because id worked on my game a lot and basically right when this DS started in earnest a week ago is when i felt like my 6m game was starting to get good.


I said numerous times about how worthless redline is and how it does more bad than good, but i can honestly say that it's helping me right now. Wo redline im pretty sure id be dropping 6m and giving up on the SNE grind and going back to strictly 9m. But redline has helped me keep confidence in my 6m game and push through the runbad. Heres all 6m games i have in my db, last 4 months or so.


Gonna get some coaching this week and might try and do a full day off for review on my own so hopefully that will both shore up some leaks i have and give me more confidence in my game to keep pushing through. Pretty funny that at the beginning of this month I was thinking 15k roll was not only sufficient for my grind but was wondering what to do with the extra money lolz. After i pay these freerolls my roll will be at 6300 with around 70k fpps in reserve. Ive already dropped 100 9m turbos and hypers. Only playing 60 6m at soft offpeak times. If it drops below 3k ill have to make some tough decisions. I have some IRL money in reserve but had kinda hoped not to touch that and keep it as a living expenses safety net for the year. Might just go back to the 9m 15-30 hyper grind to build back up. But Im not there yet so ill deal with it when i get there.

LIke i said before this is just standard runbad and it can and prob will at some point in my poker career get worse. Just gotta remember how lucky i am to have the skills to make a living how I do and be living in the beautiful place I do with all the poker friends i have that are willing to help me out. Nice to have a balcony to walk out and get that perspective every once in a while.


Best of luck to everyone this week. Freeroll people either post on here how to ship or pm jdawg if he doesnt mind.

Currently at 108k VPPs

All good Ruse it will turn, your attitude seems like it is where it needs to be. I am just under 300 buyins below ev in the last month, hell, that's when I reformatted my PC. Before that it wasn't much better, but I think my nov and dec wa good, don't have those stats tho n e more. Bottom line: it will turn. Stay confident. Michael Jordan. 2 much for these nigs and 3 much for these hoes. Bounce Bounce

gluck ruse, hope u burn right thru it

+1, keep doing your thing ruse. you got this!

gl guys...after my trip to LAPC i will be starting to learn these hypers while i take a break from MTTs and will probably be reading this whole thing

Jdawg... it's for q-school for PGA Tour Canada, would be cool if I got my card and you guys came up for an evening somewhere and we used a beer or two, otherwise, srs business.

Ruse, this reminds me of a fellow I know. You and Logan kept telling me about the redline and once things turn around a bit 4-6h things will just fall into place, and they will. Once my 4-6h turned around with some improved luck and skill things really did get a lot better, on top of that you're doing things now you'd have never done if you just broke even that are going to make you such a better player for the rest of the year. You're just building muscle right now really. Grind through that ****, you are the man.

rootin for u ruseman, glgl

I'm drunk who is lolquadz and how does he know Ruse

you can do it ruse stay strong

Ah so lolquadz is a man and Ruse obv had a bit too much Tequila one night...

But seriously that sucks. There's absolutely nothing you can do about running +/- ev though so just grind it out and hopefully things turn around for you. I'm sure a lot of the guys know some good mental game coaches if things get worse but it sounds like you're handling things pretty well.
I don't play 6m so I wish you gl

Sick life! Good luck

^^ Ugh gross graph Ruseman, hopefully turns for you soon. Glgl this week broski, vamosssss


Thx man, too bad I've been a boring bro so far this yr and not doing much in the extra curricular activities part .

OML Mila Kunis

Sheeeeeit, just making my games tougher once again, probs should learn to keep my mouth shut .

Glgl in LA Cy

Srs biz is srs . If you ship your card, we'll have to try our best to make it up

Hahah so good, much

Yep for sure to your first sentence, just gotta man up and keep putting in the volume and focus on playing your best; I think it was Ditch Digger who earlier said itt that losing the least possible (due to tilt, not grinding, not playing your A game, w/e) during a DS is a really important skill to have. My one 'leak' in that regard is I'll sometimes skip sessions due to runbad or a DS and I've gotten better about that, but that's something I'm always working on myself.

And yea, worse comes to worse, you just message Elliot Roe and get hypnotic therapy .

Tyty, I will PM you back by tomorrow night, planning a big grind today so won't have time today

______________________________________________

Planning on grinding pretty hard today, gonna try to do a 15 hour trial session of $30s, which is what my prop bet grind would be if I ended up running it. Really unsure if I'm going to run it or not atm, going to just be straight torture for a month haha .

Anyway yea, didn't really grind much yday, here's graph




Gla today, lets gooooo

What the hell ur suppose to win 5k today for all ur help! Grind 600 more
Games it will come her Ty again jdawg! Stand up guy
Great for poker community

Ps can you remove image 3 that pic was sent to me from my gf and I can't believe it leak out !!!! Lol

Maybe you should remind yourself that 36 hrs per week means 250k just in RB at the end of the year

For someone very well-versed in 9-max, I think some $30s that go off are better than some $100 6-max that go off (SNE RB included). I'd play just about every single one ($30 9-max) that pops, even if you make more mistakes in them mixing with 6-max. Unless I'm in there, then stay away

Think the best way to move up is still to mix in lower and keep your ABI down and ROI up to mitigate potential swings. Looks like you're doing that, but even if there's some BR stress you don't have to completely give up $60s for a stretch. Cutting back 1/2 or 2/3, being selective in the ones you play will help temper the swings.

Blah, blah, the ability to grind through these stretches intelligently, taking a step back while still reaching for your upper goals is probably the hardest part of SNE grinding SNGs. It's just going to make it that much more satisfying when you hit SNE at the end of the year with good pre-RB redline (and profit ). If it were easy, a lot more people would get there.

Or, just switch to MTTs full-time, hear there's not much variance there

Thx for the shoutout mang, this could push us to viral at last!

Keep at it Ruse, we're rooting for you here in Norway.
