how much am i getting 'cheated' on by not taking anything u guys think? In other words how many guys (%%) are on something if u take the 'succesfull' regpool.

I say cheated jokingly by the way and i know succesfull reg a an arbitrary term

I'd guess <5% use anything greater than caffeine. I've not had anything this year and there probably aren't many people who have played more hours, although idk if people use aids for extra hours or extra focus primarily.

Yea I wasn't hungry but made myself eat twice yday, the not being hungry was a combo of the adderall and also still getting over w/e stomach virus I had a couple days ago when I slept about 22 hrs in a 30 hr stretch.

I agree with daddyrnac, besides bananas and xanax, I don't think many people are using anything more than caffeine.

________________________________________

Gonna take low variance route and drop HS's again, games have been pretty bad lately with it being very very difficult to find a game with more than 1 fish (and some of the HS 'fish' arent that bad) and after popping my $9200 bonus for hitting 1.25mil VPPs yday, I basically cleared MU on that part of the stake (left with <3k MU).

Main reason for doing so being that 1.75mil VPPs is quite out of reach, I'd have to grind 20k VPPs every single day til my parents come AND then do the same when I came back in December, which just doesn't sound like a good idea. 1.5mil will be pretty doable just playing $60s-100s and then grabbing the best $200s offpeak.

My EV has looked pretty pitts at the HS's, I think I've run really poorly in CD + obv ran bad itself, but just has me worried, so I'd rather just move down where I'm more confident in myself, especially with the VPP situation I'm in....seems like an easy decision.

Yea so gonna grind til the games get ****ty today and then will probably take a nice long nap and come back and grind tonight, gla today!

pokerh0s love alcohol, and poppin adderall, and anything that got somethin to do with withdrawals, they on that highest degree, by swallowin ecstacy, scrippas online lookin for them grant fees

deez bitches rollin, we rollin up, money pourin down, drank pourin up

If youre just talking amphetamines Q then prob not too many ppl take them on the reg. I for one would grind on them all the time but theyre hard to find. Especially outside the US where they dont snap give them to every 8+ yo that doesnt act like an adult. Think ive grinded on them twice in mex. have taken Modafinil a bit but its weaker than espresso. Prob for the best cause abusing addys long term usually ends in psychosis ala Miturtle.

But adderal is nothing compared to whats out there. i bet balco is cooking up something real nice for a certain HSSNG bay area native.

Drug/poker gods have answered my prayers because i have a giant bag of (regionally local legal medication) that rivals the big bag o pals that i lost in TJ the night i met Rider, Sonny and a bunch of early rosa heros.

will set some goals, freerolls when i wake up. ****'s about to get real. glhf

Hope fully it will come with some HEATTTTT!!!!

What about jack3D? that stuff seems to work and you can get it on any gym store...

The **** that gets you jacked up to pump iron for 2 hours is not what you want to play poker. Aside from addy, any meaningful upper i do makes poker too inteanse and i cant more than ~4 table.

LOOOOOL, 'rivals the big bag o pals that i lost in TJ the night i met Rider, Sonny and a bunch of early rosa heros.' Thats amazing. WTF happened in the time that I left and went up and passed out? Thought we had this fig'd out, I was gonna ration you out xanax so you couldn't go overboard, apparently you found some better **** .

Guess I'll share a quick story, so SiQ is hanging out with WCGRider like a month ago or something like that, some time not too long before the WCG/Sauce HU challenge was made public and SiQ is like 'Hey so you know jdawg91 right? He's one of my good poker friends' and Doug is like 'Yea yea know him, dude seems chill' etc etc. Then SiQ goes 'What about Rusemandingo?' and Doug thinks for a minute and 'Oh you mean the mandingo/mandildo dude? That guy is crazyyyyy, the first time I met him we were at HKs and he was walking around with the biggest bag of pills I've ever seen, acting insane' or something like that . Pretty amazing lol, nice first impression ruseman .





Yea so didn't grind much yday, like 1.5 hours right after I woke up super early yesterday morning. Ended up sleeping a lot during the day and then waking up and snap going out to dinner and downing a bottle of wine which led to me coming home and continuing to drink/blaze with Ruse and also took another half bar myself, which KO'd me by about midnight and I slept for another 9.5 hours, waking up ~20 mins ago. Hoping to put in some volume tonight, although I woke up way too early so probably won't get in as much volume as I'd like to.

lol nice story

Balco ain't got nothing on:



What really makes it is the blueberry notes

is what you brew that in somewhere in that pic? cant understand why that cup as a therm in it. i usually just get coarse espresso and brew it in a normal coffee maker.

yeah jdawg id forgotten that id already put in an order w our friend on the 2nd floor. honeslty will prob give you this bag to hld for me...

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/se...rchid=35019461

Not that the thermometer setup is very precise, but brewing at ~170 >>>> super-hot (like at many coffee places). **** tastes phenomenal just drinking it black.

Just gotta get a fancy grinder and it will be full-addiction/wanna-be-snobbery mode

How many hours do you grind on a regular month jdawg? Let's get more answers from Other people too from this is a good topic!

Me is 30h/week! But I think I could do more

20 overall avg, last yr grinded ~1050 total, this yr im on idk, maybe 800?

Been working really hard the past month, think next yr I'll grind a ****ton of hrs tbh

I'm sure your plans for next year will firm up more as we get closer, but in general do you think you will avoid high stakes more because of the horrors of this year's ev, or do you not really care about avoiding them since now you have the separate deals?

Not totally sure what I'll be doing next yr, either dickswinging and grinding peak and playing every game or playing offpeak and loading down to the lowest BI I need to keep up table count. Really not sure, probably depends on whether I keep playing MTTs or not, which I've added back in with my offpeak grind starting today....picked up my MU where it left off with my MTT backer.

Day VPPs: 11,559.53
Year VPPs: 1,265,585.18

Since I'm back to offpeak grinding, decided to hit up my mtt backer and see if he wanted to pick up where we left off as there's so many good juicy tourneys offpeak. Got 4th in a 109 turbo tonight for ~1800 and then 24th in the nightly 55 which was quite unfortunate. Got probably 1/3rd pf my tourney sched still to go tonight, hopefully will bink!

SNGs went alright today, lost a lot of really dumb hands in really dumb spots here just a bit ago which led to me getting legit very angry for the first time in a long time. I think the addy still in my system, I literally never get mad (didn't once yell or even think about being mad during that -60k weekend last weekend), so it's weird that I was ridic mad a bit ago.

Graphs below, gonna just play my MTTs out over the course of the next 6 hrs and then take a full bar and hopefully pass out and sleep as late as possible....in a perfect world I'd start waking up at 6 or 7pm and playing til about 10am when the games go to ****.


Day:



MTD:

thumbs up

+1 congrats you dawg

boss

graphs sexy and you know it.

I seem to recall hearing something similar during SCOOP 2012.

Haha thx guys, hopefully itll keep up but ya never know, might snap lose 30k today!

Hehe, I truly think I'll work very very hard in 2014. I'm tired of being a broke peasant, now I have my life expenses under control and no longer even really want to go out partying in TJ, especially since the police has really been ****ing with people lately. I really hate leaving my condo after dark these days, and don't even really do it alone anymore.

_____________________________________

Went to sleep too early which led to me waking up too early which was quite the fail. Probably won't play many SNGs today unless the games don't look too bad, but lately from about this time until 6 hrs from now the games have been disgusting. Will just sit here and grind my MTTs and then add in w/e sngs I see that look good.

Went to get tacos with the Mac and came back and saw a couple of the retired guys who live at our building sitting out by the pool/patio area overlooking the ocean and since it was really nice out and I wasn't in a hurry went and said hello and ended up having a pretty solid couple hrs of just sitting around shooting the **** with them. The one is the father of one the relocated Rosa bros, so he follows along with how many of us do and he was talking about how he had been watching some of the $500 hypers I play and how fascinating it is etc.

Yea anyway, good times, about to switch my laundry over and study and then maybe start playing? Not really sure, the games are usually disgusting on Tuesday because of the Super Tuesday so I'm not even really in a hurry to grind. Wish I could take a nap and then grind deep into Wednesday morning, might try to do that but I suck at napping .

Gla, report + graphs to come at the end of the day

Links not working. I'm always looking to improve my coffee knowledge. I've become a bit of snob and need good stuff. Does a normal coffee pot brew it too hot too?
