Been a pretty **** week. Started with me getting drunk at my old roommates new place Sunday night, passing out on a beer soaked balcony and puking my brains out into a potted plant. First time Id puked in a while and the hangover wasnt as bad as some had been but still was out of commission for a while. Woke up to discover my laptop battery had died and my power cord couldnt connect. Lay around all day hoping it would magically work and tried seeing if anyone else had a similar laptop i could charge my laptop on but no luck. Finally the following day i decided to be proactive about it and went to a local repair place who ended up being able to fix it for really cheap. Was such a relief, Id been stressing figuring out how to get a new one down here and how i would xfer my database over and stuff. Im still gonna look to upgrade sometime soon but at least now it can wait until my next trip to the states.
This was the longest break Id taken from poker not counting visiting fam in the US, and was actually pretty refreshing. I came back ready to grind and appreciative that I had a working grind station didnt have to deal with all that crap Id been stessing over. The time away also gave me time to reflect on my drinking. I mean every time i get really drunk i lay around hung over the following day(s) and resolve to cut back or quit, but usually im getting back on the grind and dont think about it all that much. But not having my laptop and ability to play made me focus on it more. Previously on my hangover days Id stress about money I spent or damage i was doing to my body. But this time i thought more about how these 36 hour hang overs are really ****ing up the routine Ive gotten myself in. Not just with my grinding but with my nutrition and sleeping and working out. SNE is not gonna be easy and i really cant afford to be throwing a wrench into my routine every week or two. Added to that, there are a lot of things Id like to go home for this year. My buddies graduation party, first weekend on NCAA bball tourney, Dad's birthday, etc. And every 36 hour block that i waste hung over and useless and every extra day it takes me to get back in the groove is one less day Im able to spend doing stuff i want to in the states.
So yeah I pretty much gave up a while ago on ever being able to go out and have a few drinks. So after the super bowl I think im gonna just gonna become a hermit until my half marathon in late April and just keep a good routine going. Theres def stuff i can do around here that wont involve drinking, Ill just have to figure out what they are
Anyways Im making it sound a lot more emo than it is. Im just starting to realize the kind of work ethic and time it's gonna take to make SNE and also realize that im not gonna be able to party like I did last year an hope to make it. Unless i want to up my abi and with it variance and stress and swings. I right at 50k right now which is decently below pace, but Ive gotten 14k vpps since wednesday and am starting to lengthen both my 9m and 6m sessions. Ive also gotten a bit more comfortable with the 60s and the swings they bring. Right now id like to be near 70k at the end of the month and be around 150k the end of feb. As im typing this I just remembered the Duke/UNC game is in mid Feb so i guess i can add that to the list I days im gonna need to drink. fml
So playing wise Ive been on a bit of a downer. Pre rb im on about a 4.5k downer which is the worst ive had. I have made around 3k in rb during that time so its not that bad and guess i need to start thinking of terms of post rb profit now that Im essentially a rb grinder. A lot of this has been from mtts. I played a small Tcoop sched and have been mixing in mtts during my 9 sessions, along with a few drunks 215s. My roll can handle it atm, but im already starting to try and bring my abi down by playing 16.50s and similar smaller bi turbos. And if this ds continues Ill prob start selling off action in the h75 and larger Bis i play. But as it is now i can handle them and they really help me play longer 9m sessions and keep focused so no plans to drop them.
So now for some graphs. Heres the aforementioned mtt graph.
The abi should drop on its own once i dont have tcoops to play. Dont really know though cause im not gonna play non turbos and its not worth taking table space away from 30-100 9m turbo and hts to add something like a 5.10 hyper or 11 turbo so not really sure what i can play midday besides the h44-75 and 25hypers and 1 3x turbo. Im sure josh can help me figure it out.
Heres my 9m for the month. Ive decided to not post my redline for these anymore. Both so other regs wont see how soft they are if my redline is good and people wont know im a fish on a heater if it's crap
Horseshoe def fell out of my ass in these, but I feel like im getting better at the turbos and learning 6m has helped me in a lot of 9m spots. I still feel like im outmatched by the regs early in 60s and 100s but i think i make up for it with my late game, and with a little postflop work can be one of the best regs in them.
6m have been good. Running decently above ev at 30s and i assume 60s but still too lazy to get the redline patch.
Been talking with jdawg about a lot of spots and think my game has improved drastically over the last month. Think ive ran at leat 1k spots and am planning on doing some work with Jdawg and Siq next week. Here's all my games for the 30s. Dont mind showing redline since theres already tons of regs in them and everyone knows what theyre beatable for.
In all honestly i think id be happy if i could beat them for 1% long term but im still hopeful with some work i can get up to 2% or above.
So yeah just wanted to write something for my 10k so i can go back to posting normally everywhere else. Playing the TCOOP main even tmrw so could use some rungood in that. Will prob post more tmrw or monday, just need to get to bed now. gl on sunday everyone
