i like to see things positive so anything above 6 hrs and i ll end the day very pleased. why put more pressure than neccesary on oneself?

but i m really keen on trying this fulltime-working-poker-is-a-job-thingy out next month working overtime so that i generate some decent numbers to go by.

fair point.

Yeah i think thats a great idea for you, you crush so hours/volume is your only concern.

i m thinking volume is a very close second behind moving up tho.

hope i ll reach $1750 by the end of this month to try nl25 again. would be soo big if i could produce a winrate even remotely resembling what i am playing at now

yeah obv moving up is important but i think being able to play full time, hours is such an important measure, i mean even if you drop tables then you should always be working to increase your hours.

I cant see why you wouldn't, i think magorko had a sick WR at 25nl and obv working with regs is a great way to maintain/achieve sick WR's.

You got skype yet?

Inb4 400 hours at nl25 with 10bb/100 weeeeee

Not moved Out=no Skype

looool didnt magorko have 20bb/100 over like 50k hands or smthing crazy at 25nl?

You moving out? will u have rent and stuff to pay for now?

yeah but magorko is not human.

not really. german law makes parents pay for that as long as i m studying

so i m still unsure of weather or not i ll actually give 100% to my studies which will restart in mid april i think and cut down on my poker significantly or weather i ll take this to another level. another reason why march is gonna be a big month for me.

hahaha ahh thats cool, ive cut down on my studys, i dnt do any college work at all rly, jst gnna do it whilst im at college rather than sitting around talking...

wat r u studying? are you at university in gerrmany? idk how it works there?

i ll be doing biochemistry which annoyingly would take up around 40 hrs every week if i wanna succeed (and tbh there s no point in doing it at all if i chose to give it 50% and just try to pass) at a uni here in germany yup.

thing is i got way too lazy in my real 2nd semester then found 180s and crushed them for a week and said fk it imma go pro. then broke even for two month and wend bust shortly before new years eve lol. what i m writing about in my new thread i funded with $200 i borrowed from a friend as i was dead broke then. so now its my official 3rd semester and i ve only finished one so far lol

so u re also thinking of doing this bigtime if the higher stakes treat u well?

ahh i see

ill be honest and say if i could i would, i have an advantage that im at college which is only 3 days a week and the work is easy, i can get it done there and then and have all my free time apart from pool to grind.

The most important thing right now is getting as far as i can before the summer and then ill be able to grind all day everyday before i go back to college in september for my 2nd year.

but yeah i basically want to make as much $$$$ as possible i break up for the summer which is ~ june 21st.

think its pretty obvious that could=can and would=will here. nobody who is incapable of winning longterm goes on heaters like you ve put in thru the last days haha

sounds good. we should make a longterm challenge of some sorts to keep ourselves motivated after march. always nice to talk to ppl with similar goals and approaches to the game.

so after i wipe the floor with You(r)Faiil(ed) a$$ lets discuss a new challenge all the way until june or smth

for sure, i think im at 3.7bb/100 over 65k hands so its obv im a winner, since i started the thread im like 7bb/100 over 40k hands ish after plugging some leaks.

I'm up for that, i have some things in mind but nothing concrete.

I think after march id be up for challenges like most $ won or most hands played when im more used to playing more tables and stuff.

I dnt rly knw what to plan for this year tho, all i have in mind is stuff that id like to have bought with the winnings, like learning to drive, a car, clothes, a watch etc.

sure thing, its always nice to get something nice with winnings but i ll try to really not cash out untill i beat nl25 over 150k-200k hands which is hopefully when i ll be moving up from that (clearly optimistic but me no give a shi*)

well if u re table selecting well i think u ll end u playing no more than 20 tbl on avg even if your very capabe of maxing out at 24. i think the last few sessions i was mainly playing 18 or so because unless its 8pm CET or weekend the tables really quickly become regfests. so given that we could go for some random hands/Xtime challenges or sth. most $ won should be 4months+ or else its all a variance luckfest imo...

yeah thats why i prefer doing hours played then its realy only down to who can grind the most, too many variables in hands played/most $ won.

i dnt rly want to cash out either apart from driving lessons which is smthing that i really need to get done, clothes/watch ill only get if i can really afford too i think.

damn im sure youll pass 25nl way before 150-200k hands altho i knw how nitty you are with BRM .

i think in the summer when my sleeping pattern changes ill be playing 20 tables more often as the games are better at night here so its easier to load up 20 or so tables.

Feel like if asked before but where u from actually? Can't be US since u grind stars so I m lost here

from the UK, dnt think youve asked before

Holy crap we should do some crazy lockdown grind house trip sometime in summer maybe with kamacry too?!

Btw get ready for a bigass 4k post bro

hell yeah, sumertime grind house ftw!

haha ill get to my 4k post

4k post!@!@!@!!@!!!@!@!@!

thats it.

Just wanna show love and add some GLs to my fellow grinders


I'd be in

Haha sure, why the **** not? Where wud we be located tho :P?

i played some more last night and rostockoed completely, ending the day up like 1/1.5 BI after 8k hands.

Today, i played like 1k hands and dropped ~ 1 BI. A disappointing weekend, i have to stop getting up so late and then not putting in a good amount of hours on days off.

Hopefully ill make up for it this week and win a nice amount.

dunno, maybe some random house in spain?

gl next week !!

Oh god don't try and set challenges with me like that, I end up gonig way overboard with that crap.....

Got challenged a few years ago to see how long I could play counter strike:source nonstop for, 32hours.....
And a 4 day spree on wow grinding with only 2hours sleep a night to win bets

Bring it on!

Hahaha shoulda kept it to yourself man ... Now it's ON
