On your mark - get set - MICRO STAKES RAKEBACK.

Okay, that may be an oxymoron.

Hello there, my name is Taylor and I'm a musician in Western Canada. But here I have my poker hat on and I'm known as "FattieQ" on Pokerstars. I'm about as degen as they come, I've played everything poker-wise and done poorly at most of it. I'm the dolt with the Canadian & Netherlands flag avatar that you've probably seen donking about in micro tourneys & O8 everythings.

As I have no life and only one working leg at the moment (crashed my bike, ugh) I may as well run (okay, slowly jog..perhaps crawl) up the stakes in the 25bb 6max hypers. 200+ games a day is very possible if I stay off 2+2 which is handy. Like many other degens before me I'm forcing myself to update here every now and then in hopes I will stay focused and keep working. I also love TonnaMunz's vlogs so if I happen to feel particularly entertaining, I can do those too. Will post link(s) if I do that.

Actual goals:

Longterm:
- Longterm? Become Supernova. Those red stars are just so enticing. Plus the boss-mode that comes with it of course.
- slightly more attainable - set new personal annual VPP record in 2015. I'm at 26k for 2014 so naturally 2015 will go much higher hopefully.

Shortterm:
- STUDY. ACTUALLY STUDY. MY GOSH FOR GOODNESS SAKE STUDY.
- Get out of micro-stakes land so I don't hate myself so much.
- Make my graph do the thing where it goes up

And hey if it doesn't work I'll just disappear like Isildur's backers. (zing.. okay crickets). I'll disappear like Norman Chad's stand up audience! No? I'll disappear like my roll the last several times! (alright nobody's laughing but me, but that's very funny I promise).

GL me. Volume is my friend. Variance isn't.

Hi FattieQ,
are you still getting coaching from "Betting Hot" hows it been going ,was thinking of signing up with him to.?
Best Of luck

Best of luck man, very interesting, will be following.

In and gl sir > hypers are insane variance but completely beatable at micros of you just know the basics.
Feel free to post any trouble spots.
Cheers. Trent/crockies99

You know I gave him a ring but as I understand it he is far too busy searching retail stores for ultra-super-mega-discount laptop computers .

Thank you for the interest folks. Surely with enough volume & study I can eventually at least break even.

Just so I have a good taste in my mouth and in case the next few days destroy me, here's a summary of my day today. I'm not sure if I'm done for the night, but I'm typing this as I'm still awake enough to ensure I'm getting it right. Today I played:

Games: 160 (of diff. buyins)
ROI: 6.82%




So pretty awesome, basically. Ha. I'm going to try to NOT look at my results so it may be a bit before another update. But I'm not sure how long I can do that lol.

Graph since last update:



Tuesday afternoon EV graph:



So not sure what to do now. Clearly not good enough to beat the baby games I suppose. Sigh. Feeling very uninspired to try [yet] again.

Hey don't put yourself down. If you are really into succeeding you have to understand the game (variance). Don't get depressed after one day of bad results. Keep working on your game and you'll be allright.

Sent from my GT-I9500 using 2+2 Forums

80 buyins in 3 days though? What hope is there to be able to go on a +80 buyin swing after that? I know variance is BONKERS, especially in these games. But EV aside I'm not sure if I'm good enough to go back up.

lol.

how the **** did u do that?

Can we get an update please?

You see, I ****ing suck. Also, I haven't won the IP Address lottery since around 2009 or so.

Can you play on a site that doesn't scam you?

Just work on your mentale game duwe, u talk About volume and u havent played any yet

The 7% roi over a session is a laugh btw don't mean it bad

FattieQ confirmed working in banana field?

Rumor is he is working in a banana field to buy a new leptop )))

Leave Fattie ALONE!!!

Updates pleaseeeeeeee.

Bump, would like an update.

Oh hi there.

So what have I been doing the last 6 months? Drinking Pepsi. Playing piano. Going cycling. Making lots of money. No, not playing poker, don't kid yourself. Working in an office. However what's more fun than working in an office and saving money is working in an office and playing with it.

Oh, also I've spent multiple hours making fun of Arturas. What a joke of a human being that kid is.

Soooooooo I'm playing hypers again. I have a mouse with a programmed all-in button, so that's pretty much all I need to beat these games.

On a slightly more serious note, I'd like to play with around 200 buyins. The money isn't so much of a motivator anymore. Thanks to lolrealjob and my mouse with an allin button (10/10 would recommend) hopefully I can move up a level. i figure I have around 60 years left on the planet so we'll see if I can do it

Super graph porn this week so you can tell I'm a professional (after all, I have a mouse with an all-in button).
