Prob gonna get lost in the sea of freeroll but

SNGS


MTTs


Had a piece of Josh's WSOPc FT and came out on the good end of of a TCOOP swap so that prob negates 1k of MTT losses. Had couple deep runs but couldnt get there. Gonna keep plugging along but expect abi to lower a decent bit and/or me to start BAPing for larger buyins.

HEM hours at 171 for month but 20 of those are just 1-3 tabling MTTs. Funny to say this after not making SNE pace in Jan but im giving 1.25MM some serious thought. Need to get to SNE first and need to take that one month at a time so im just gonna make monthly goals and try to meet those.

Happy with this month overall. $wise its my 2nd best month ever and has allowed me to cash out enough (combined with previous savings) to live comfortably for the rest of the year. Hopefully that security will help with the downswings but im sure a huge loss or huge degen spree could have me back stressing money again.

I think i really lucked out starting the month out so hot. Even though i finished running right around expectation, opening the month running like crap would have been tough to play through and i think being dealt my first 5k+ downswing and 2k daily downswing was a lot easier because id been running so hot. I really have a lot of respect for how Sippin handled his runbad at the start of the month.

Im leaving 15k online as my roll. Id kinda considered setting BR levels where id move up to other games but im not sure what I can move up to. I really dont want to play 100 6m hypers and 200+ 9m turbos dont really run. I guess just having some reserve in case MTTs continue to go like **** is prob the best plan. Maybe ill get lucky and Stars will add 200 9m hypers. Volume wouldnt be much but i bet we'd get a half dozen to run during the week and maybe 10-20 on sundays.

I think my game came a long way this month. 6m seems to make you think a lot more and naturally makes you better. Ive also found a good group of players to talk strat with, something i was lacking before.

Feb goals

Playing

100k vpps
180 hours
Continue to lengthen session time
Take full advantage of 9m traffic when available
Improve HUD and actually make and use popup
Get digital recorder for thoughts and notes i dont have time to write down

Mental

Better discipline in game. Ignore distractions such as bad beats and sweating larger buyins more than others.
Get into some sort of meditation routine. Both pre and post session.
Sweat results less. Maybe a weekly thing.

Study

Continue to work on game with other players
Start doing full game reviews instead of just marked hands
Look for new software i know about but have been too lazy to look at

Physical

Get up to doing 5 miles daily running and 25/week
Get a better stretching routine down
Start weight training
Find exercises/stretches for areas stressed by playing (back,neck, wrist, fingers, eyes)
Some sort of exercise routine pre and post session(ive been doing sets of jumping jacks and pushups)

Gonna get a few more sessions in before bed Currently right at 62k VPPs for you guys that had the "freeroll"

gl in Feb everybody

hours

Ruse and Jdawg, why do you guys play mtts? I can understand a few of the sunday tournies and Tcoops but overall they seem like they'd be a drag on your overall hourly.

ruse: how many hours ? and what is your goal that u count 68% rb ?

btw i hate u both

in for mtt freeroll

DD, I play mtt cause they help lengthen my 9m sessions and are a nice change of pace from the same old thing. Also cause it can be fun to chase big scores. Usually if im 1-3 tabling its not like id be grinding sngs otherwise, id just be doing nothing. Ill usually load every 16.50-55 turbo and hyper mtt the first couple hours of my 9m sessions and then stop loading when im down to on mtt and short.

P4G, Im going for SNE. I might have done it wrong, i added like 5k for BOPs and other random depo bonuses and thought it was around 67% but doing it again it seems like 63%. Ill have to figure it out.


Want to grind another sess but HUD seems to be ****ing up. Not sure what the deal is. Seemed to happen right at midnight server time so maybe something with stars new month hh.

Y2K all over again. Report back on that one.

good month guys. keep it up. choo ****ing chooooo

Eh i took off my tourney bb filters and it seemed to fix it. Strange because id had those same filters the lst 4 days. Pretty tired so ill try and figure it out in the morning.

thx Siq (highfive)

Whatever is left

Don't stretch, if you are interested why this is a nice article about it: http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_...retching_is_bs

And this one as follow up: http://mennohenselmans.com/stretching-is-b-s-addendum/

I think the same about 200s wbn if they implement them , I already got 25 100s in at 7hours play at peak hours midweeks.

Hours if it is still available. Nice results guys good luck this coming month.

I play MTT's sometimes for similar reasons to ruse; they extend my sessions so they end up making me more money even if a slightly lower hourly....and that's why I only add in $55s+, lower bi's aren't worth my time as I'm already cutting into my hourly as is.

I'm trying to cut them out though, hopefully the next MTT I play comes during SCOOP.

Also thanks to everyone for the congrats, well wishes, etc...pretty thankful I turned the month around as well as I did considering how bad it was 20 hours into the month .

___________________________________________

Just realized I might have skipped over some questions or comments that deserved a reply back, tons of posts yesterday ITT claiming freerolls so if I missed something, bump it back to my attn; even though I might not always give an answer you want to hear (either avoiding the question if it's strat related or being mean ), I'll always take time to respond.


I wanna give a shoutout to OMGClayDol (aka MissOracle on PS) who is a fellow SNE and also on the FT of the Aussie Mil ME right now! Gl David, ship itttttt!


Not off to the greatest of starts to the month, only 1.2 hours in and it was a failworthy 1.2 hrs . I forgot to post a redline graph yesterday, here's my redline since moving down stakes; not even going to look at the Jan 1-Jan 18 redline graphs since I got crushed and my redline went down $8000 due to just sitting out of games



I would be happy with anything >$0 this yr redline/pre RB profitwise tbh, still making a lot of money in RB/hour, so winning pre RB while doing that would just be a nice added bonus

About to get back on the grind, cooking up some chicken breasts whenever they thaw out, should be good for a few good meals during the weekend!

Gla today

Welp apparently we didn't want to start the month well once again . Didn't realize it was this bad, fig'd I was down $'s but didn't think I'd be down 78 abi's in 310 games haha

Lunch break and then back at it!

fun swings. Gl dawg been trying to follow

meowch

always fun to dig a hole at the start of every month......glgl

David Yan is omgclaydol?

forgot to quote kingnit but hes booked too.

By my count im about 5.4k short with 22.5 hours to go. I already have plans for both your dollars so im gonna need to get on it. ****ty 9m traffic the last couple days is what i blame it on. Gonna try and stay up until 2 or 3 and grab some soft 60s and then grind a 4-5 hour 9m sess tmrw afternoon and close out with 6m. Havent looked at results yet today but i feel like im doing decent.

.

lol guess I'm the fish

took the week off

Correct. Think he sold about 40% of his action on 2+2.

Tyty, glgl on the grind

Haha

Yep that's him, what a hero (sun)

And haha yea, obvs digging a hole is much more fun than just starting off the month profiting

Lol'd pretty hard at the bolded part, gogogo!

_____________________________________________

Yesterday didn't get any better, quit early on the day and only got in 5.5 hours. Will be getting on the grind early though today, probs in 10 mins at the top of the hour, and will be trying to play 8+ hours today.

Gonna not look at my redline for a while, I still get too emotionally attached to whether it goes up or down, so will post a redline graph every Friday and then SS graphs during the week.



Gla this weekend!

It's quite obv that mtts longer your sessions = more $$ ;p

glgl sir
