Oh totally forgot to mention, went to the Billy Goat Tavern before the game; it's about 2 blocks from the United Center and is a world famous place from the John Belushi Saturday Night Live skit there.

For those of you who can't watch videos on hulu, the workers today still talk like they did in the skit..just makes the place what it is. Here's a modern day video taken by a customer ordering, like 0:14-end is straight out of the SNL skit




Good times, good times; had a great burger and watched the sox/cubs game before heading to the United Center

freerollllz

in?

Sandmanness only posts on 2+2 for freerolls

Increase ur roi

Goooooo Ruse!

Bumpking and Sandman, two regs I play against btw, have them. But very little chance they get them. 1.3k/4.4k already done and am gonna play one more sess of 30/60 6m before bed.

Game2, let me finish up the month and see where Im at vppwise and we can figure out a bet. Down for at least something smalle, maybe couple hundo, or more if youre interested.

hey ruse yah down for whatever for motivation... it doesn't even have to be money

Ridic circumstances conspired to make this tougher than it should have been, but made it with a few minutes to spare. Will go into it and do month review after i finish sess



Basically air card was ****ing up so i walked outside where i get the signal for the conmplex and grinded there for 20 min but then my POS battery died. Took a good 10 minutes to reboot and then when i log on i see all my setting on stars are gone and theyre all default. Try to grind but like its asking me if i want to show or muck and popups are coming at the end of games. Luckily i just got a new script of xanex or i would have gone postal.

W/e have one table left. Will do month wrap up when i finish. Think i made have done +20k.

Looking forward to the update!

Also I'm not a SN/SNE so I don't get those fancy periodicals from Pokerstars, just wondering if they gave you any indication of how often the standard SNGs would convert to the golden ones during the 100 billion promo. Seems like it could be super high value or totally negligible.

(http://www.pokerstars.com/poker/prom...ration/golden/)

havent seen any specifics myself. Sounds like theyre putting out a few mill at least so even if each person's equity is ****ty it will be a nice bump to the rolls of sng players, and will leave a positive lasting impression with a lot of fish.

I do get the Sn emails but theyre BS drivel.

K so heres month assuming 45% RB. Will be higher if i can get SNE but until im somewhat close to pace im not gonna count that.


SNG only


2nd best month Ive had profitwise but prob best month of my career imo. Was pretty ****ing withered 3-4 weeks ago and was thinking of dipping into irl money i swore i wouldnt touch or even looking for a stake. Luckily Jdawg helped me out and floated me a small loan to grind till i made my 200k bonus. Since then have been running super hot and am back playing as high as i had before, and with way less stress than I had before. A lot of that is because Ive been forced to improve the last few months. When youre winning youll still go through youre marked hands and w/e, but when youre losing is when you question everything and really question your game.

Running bad and moving down has made me a better and also made me a better grinder both efficiency wise and motivationally wise. I could always run worse than I have the rest of the year, but its unlikely and i think it wont hurt quite as much. That Scoop score seriously saved my year and made SNE possible.

K think Belthazorr wanted some individual graphs.

Heres all 9m with 45 rb for year


Going for 150k vpps next month. Will make some FR in the morn. gl everbody

nice work Ruse

yes, downswings are sometimes blessings

Watch out for people with black markers.

Running like **** can def be a long-run positive when you battle through that adversity. Mark of a true grinder.

Play every 9-man that runs, however high. You can still do this, $25k extra next year.

Sigh I really want SNE next year

non zero chanced yoyu inkied me gramps. Meta?

i love you twaatwaffles

Sexy graph, ruse. Keep it going!

Nice ruse. Congrats

like 200s and 500s? IDK thats kinda scary. welll see.

Whatever is comfortable that gets you to a ~150k VPP month or two to get back on pace before the games get end-of-the-year ugly. You're probably better at 9-man than any Turbo reg.

yeah i think i still have some leaks early but late game and bubble i feel like i can hold my own with most of those turbo guys. Except Darin, that dude seems to always have my number Traffic is just the problem. Really need to either make a 4th stack on my laptop so i can always be running turbos regardless, or just start grinding on this 30" tv i have or nut up and buy a real monitor. I hate change though so well see.

how can u say hes better then most turbo regs if u see that godly awful finish distro gramps its ****ing hurts my eyes they are starting to bleed
