still cant believe a guy limp folded 3bb in like 2nd position in a $665 LMAO, thought those days were over, poker is dead etc

JD, congrats on the prop hustle!!

Question, why are you not training w for the half mar w Ruse?

did someone say HU sngs + pocket billiards 4 rolls?

make it large enough of a bet and booked, I am pretty sure i can masstable better than you

i like how simple ducked my pool bet. fish

we can play hu sngs but not pool, you are 99.9% lock in pool, unless its 1 pool game every 99 husngs

99 $100's and then one game of 8ball for $5k. boooook it.

edit: had to high roll you in the pool, ldo.

You know, i would but im running pretty good at 6m for the moment so i think i need to keep working on them

9hours in the last two days? pussy

You can add another 8hrs from 9m

VPP count at 59935 for those freerollers/bettors. May or may not play another sess before bed.

Nice 6m graph ruseman

Ended up not playing at all yesterday, woke up at like noon, didnt do **** until I went out to dinner with Zima at 5pm, then came home and snap went to bed, such a fail.

Gonna go hard today though I hope, planning on 8+ hrs of hypers starting soon along with a bunch of good value mtts, lets gooooo

Might have to offer a freeroll itt if I start failing it up at hrs, have only played 5.1 hours of hypers since shipping the prop haha

156.5k vpps

When i didnt see you on skype last night i figurd it was 50/50 you went home and passed out or went to TJ with Zima.

lol


josh did kinda mention it in passing as we were leaving dinner. I was pretty tired though as i had got up at like 4am that day and i went home and essentially just went to bed as well.


#withered

Yey! Go for dem freerolls!

Yea we both played for #TeamWithered last night, came home 100% planning on snap grinding, instead blazed and snap fell asleep (rain).

Heh maybe do one later this week

_________________________________________

Got a quick 2.5 hour sesh of hypers in, gonna go back to bed and wake up in like 4 hrs from now and shower/eat/get ready to grind and then play from start of Hot 44 until at least 1am with the start of the 109turbo 12k, maybe longer if I'm feeling good.

160kvpps

Graph to start the day:

noooooo, rain check plz! **** looks good

also: Been a little MIA on 2+2 lately so not sure if I've posted ITT yet. GL to both of you, solid starts to your years, putting me to shame! Time to catch up...

live@pompeii where is your thread ?

sorry for ot

I don't have one right now, its kinda nice staying low-key, at least for now..

Impossible to stay low key.... Legends gonna Legend...

Sorry for slight noob-level derail, but do you think 6-8x SN is possible for a winning U.S. $15 hyper reg if he moved out of the U.S. to grind the same level on Stars with say a $5k poker only BR?

Assuming mass tabling, moving up, etc.

I'm just really curious/concerned about the 'beatability' of the games on stars at those stakes.

And yeah live@pompeii, unblock your stats!!

jk obv

Not directed at me and not in my thread but replying anyways! You may have your reasons but getting 800k vpp's sounds like a horrible idea but you must have your reasons. It's just so close to SNE you might as well go for it.

Haven't checked SS, but for the best 5% is probably out there for $15s, although if you are that good then $15s are probably a waste of time. Typical decent reg is probably 2-3%. If you are beating $30s at all then you are decent, but 2% and possibly more could be out there for guys like jdawg/quadz.

I dumped $6k for a stretch at the $30s and I had a 2% roi at the time, so while $5k is "fine" be prepared for that, and obviously more than that if you intend to venture to the $60s.

Also experience in these games is a huge factor, so if you don't have much HT experience you need to accept playing thousands of games before you start to even get a decent idea of things.

Gracias senor, a ti tambien. Vamossssss

Good post all around by sippin, I'll just add in something that is probably going to come off as mean, but w/e....do I think that I could move with a $5k poker br and successfully start playing $15 hypers and beating them for a good ROI, quickly improving at them and quickly moving up like a boss....yes I do, and that would go for a select few other regs I know, but no, I don't think the typical US reg (or typical small stakes PS reg) could do that successfully as they usually aren't that great of a reg to begin with, having many leaks etc and they also don't know how to REALLY study properly and improve their game as quickly as they should.


Also what sippin said about experience is huuuge, I was just talking about this with Zima last night at dinner; these 6m 25bb starting hypers are such a weird format, many a MTT reg come into these games thinking to themselves 'oh well I know how to play <25bb, i know how to play push/fold' etc etc and it's just not the same thing at all.

If I missed anything, lemme know

Done for the night, which means that January is over! Guess it was a successful month considering I didn't really start until ~Jan 14th and I lost a good 8k due to power outages + just went straight downward at $200s to start the year.

If this is the worst month of the year I have (which I'm hoping it will be), I'll be a pretty happy bro tbh. Really looking forward to the low variance $60-100 grind for the foreseeable future, especially now that I'm getting 85% of my profit.

I have high hopes for February-May, I am really wanting to grind a full WSOP schedule, although that might change if I'm enjoying the online grind a ton....nonetheless to prepare for playing a full schedule, I need to grind a ton of hours so I can still hit my 1800 hour goal for the year if I miss a few months due to the WSOP.
