Haha 20k is about right! Why you askin SmokeyB mate?



Giraffe for past 24 hours. After the past few losing days it's just what I needed. I cut out the 2x25nl zoom tables and focused on keeping pots small with marginal hands. I also upped my sizing, what value I've been missing! It's 7am UK time. Played about 1k hands yesterday, spent the day eating and sleeping (carb day ftw). Played all thru the night. No hands again, hopefully get some today when I wake up.

Zoom profit back to $2139, roll sitting at $1252,and 88,937 fpps. 11k to fkn go!

Oh there was one hand from tonight - http://www.boomplayer.com/en/poker-h...464_59F86E98DD

I was just asking because you keep saying all the time that you're running bad. Obviously the all-in EV line doesn't show all the ways you're running bad eg. maybe you've been on the wrong end of lots of coolers, which wouldn't show up in the all-in EV line. But it gives some idea of how you're running.

Such a sweet flop assuming he turns his cards up when all-in.

It almost feels like a bad beat if you don't hit on the turn or river.

Good luck!

Lol do I rly? I probs do say that a lot but in reality I run ok in all honesty. For the month it's where it should be but over the past 2 days when I was losing it was well under where it needed to be (got KK cracked 3 times by AQx2 and AK in one day so that didn't help). My rungood seems to come and go, pretty standard!
Haha yeah he had his cards face up! The guy was a fish so probs had his roll on the table, feel a bit bad but on the other hand I have rent to pay

Not much volume today, 4 hrs sleep and football tonight, but obvs good last night so it's okay. Was a pretty decent session until a bluff at the end that got called down light-ish.



Roll's at $1315 and 90,146 fpps. I seem to be over that bad couple of days there, with $2207 Zoom profit in the bag I'm gonna work hard and aim for another $1800 profit. Get my 100k fpps over the weekend & Monday then forget about volume and really aim for $4k zoom profit.

Also got internet in the flat now, it's been a frustrating week!!

EDIT - played an orbit of PLO50, roll at $1381. No more PLO.

$4k table profit at 50NL in a month would be very sick! Don't get too preoccupied with that as a goal though.

How much in $$$ do you need to withdraw per month to get by?

I ask as I'm interested in what you require to make per month as a base, before you can start increasing your online roll.

Indeed! I think it's doable but I'll have to stop having the odd spew day here and there.

As for $ withdrawal, I'm not sure. My personal circumstances are a bit meh right now as I still have about £1500 of debt I'd like to pay off very quickly. I also withdrew about $600 for booking a holiday a few weeks ago that wasn't really a necessity but had to spend that on buying a brand new bed & TV for our new flat! Also tons of little things lately.

I make a $1600 bonus roughly every 25 days, and a milestone bonus of about $2600 every 90 days, providing I keep my volume up. I try to break even at worst and just withdraw the bonuses, but having said that I've got $2k profit this month and $4200 bonuses in the past 30 days and I have no idea where it's all gone lol. You know how it is yourself, if you have money to hand then you spend it fairly easily!

Writing this post has actually made me realise how I could move up more quickly if I was a little more frugal IRL. Checked my cashier and in the last 30 days I have cashed out £2900!!!!! Thanks Daniel, you've made me inspire myself

Haha, pleased to have accidentally assisted an epiphany! Glgl.

With 2k left in the Sunday Storm, the orbit before he did the same thing with A2 vs my A10 to dbl me up. Soooooooooooo gross, would've had a top 100 stack...

-$80 for the weekend just now with some PLO & MTT losses (seriously no more PLO) but crushed Zoom hard today. Will post giraffe later but felt the need to post that hand!

Will just post a monthly graph instead of the daily ones over the weekend...



Another frustrating beat in an MTT just now; AKo vs QJo in the MM Shootout 3 handed in the 3rd last table, would've crushed the fish HU for a guaranteed $174 and 1 table away from FT. Aw well!

Volume was meh over the weekend, 6k fpps short of the 100k. Roll's at $765 (took $800 out and will only take $800 from the $1600 bonus that'll be cleared any day now). Tempted to take a 5BI-ish shot at 100nl at the end of this month.

$2600 profit, targeting $1400 more before the end of the month!

Horrendous volume today. The graph includes between midnight and 3am. I really struggle to put in the hours when I'm up, but when I'm stuck I can grind for hours 'til I get it back...



Stopped playing at about 4pm and decided to fire up a bunch of MTTs. One small-ish bink (below) and a couple of min-cashes (cashed in the $5.50 turbo MM for about $14, shoved 7bb w Q6s on btn, ran into JJ, gg). Still in an $11 donkament, 19/56, 54 get paid, $770 up top.



Zoom winnings for the month at $2750 ($1350 to go!), roll at $1186 (cashed out $800 last night to take it down to $600 so delighted with that), and 95,542 fpps (4.5k tomoz definitely!!).

For the chip lead, now 30/40...

hell of a month gazzy, gj.

^ cheers buddy! Still over a week to go, gotta get dat 4k profit.



JosePaulo absolutely ran over that FT, totally owned everyone with ease. I was card dead 5 handed, went from 2nd to 5th slowly then jammed 55, ran into JJ.

Aw well!

Is that an MM event? When does MM end?

5th place is still awesome. Well done Gazzy!

Nah not an MM, they end this Sunday I think!

Ty buddy, happy with 5th but back when I was a 1 tabling fish I was binking things for 10k, 5k, 4k etc. I think that's where my love of MTTs come from, and now that I actually know what I'm doing at a poker table I can't bink a thing haha.

Congrats on the month, and gl if u decide to shot 100z soon

Subbed for interesting hands and nice writing style. gl mate

Thanks guys, appreciate it! I keep putting off the 100nl shot, will have to just man up and do it.



Slightly better volume today but still not enough. A couple of distractions (sleeping in and SKY getting installed), but still need to be hitting that 1k vpps a day. Otherwise November/December is gonna suck for hitting that 400k vpp bonus! Got some hands today, probs misplayed but w/e...

Cooler 1 of 2, thought it was gonna be one of those days... PS I know flop sizing sucks here before anyone says



Vs an aggro fish, river is close between call and go for the rest, thought he'd have Kx 100% of the time here.



Struggling to get away from these, think river's a fold vs a fish.



Villain shows up with AA here which is a super bad line to take IMO. If he plays it properly I can stack him, but as played I think flatting river is okay? Would hate to run into QQ.



There's history with this villain, he slowrolled me with quads once, I can't remember the reason, I think I called him down super light. Yeah, vs most regs it's an easy fold but vs this guy it's much closer. I felt like if I'm calling this turn I have to be calling most rivers.



Played a bunch of MTTs late last night but cashed in 1. Blocked MTTs off until Sunday. Also cashed out $800 ($1600 in 2 days), so the roll is at $730 after today, and with 97,800 fpps when I make the $1600 bonus I'll cash out everything above $1500 and take it from there $2977 Zoom profit this month

If you want to take shots you should prob stop cashing out everything you don't really need.

Need it IRL dude, got bills to pay. When I clear this bonus I'll have enough $ in the bank til my next bonus, so can focus on shot taking then

Up and down like a heour's drawers today, was super swingy. Didn't run well but managed to finish in the black, spose that means I played okay despite the odd lol-call. No hands of interest today. Was determined to get into profit before I finished, despite not feeling well. I cleared my $1600 bonus an hour or two ago, that's $4200 in rakeback this month, combined with $3001.20 profit, I've made $7200 this month! The aim is still 4k pre rakeback in profit tho, gonna dig deep for the last week to see if I can make it.

Cashed out $600, the last cashout this month. The roll is at $1516, provided I have at least 2k in my account on 01st August I will definitely 5BI shot 100nl!

Decided to play some 100nl today. Not quite a 'shot' but just to get a feel for it, despite being $500 short of my target. It didn't go well.





I ran fairly well and got max value a couple of times, and only stacked off light once. Multiway bluffjam with blockers & some equity if I get called (not gonna post it tho it's super bad lol). Some quick hands...

Kinda daunting calling this down at 100nl, but it got the ball rolling.



Saw this guy bluff a few hands ago on the 'display and watch' feature, just wasn't sure what his x/r range is on this flop.



Pwned.



Went for the jugular here! Tfw you win a 370bb pot at the next limit up.



Overall I played well, whilst still getting outplayed in a couple of spots. The difference between 50 and 100 is massive. People flat 4bets oop like it ain't no thang, and x/r/bet/shove seems to be a common line with both ends of your range. Gonna enjoy racking up fpps like never before. Will decide when next to play 100nl, maybe Sunday, but for now gonna drop back down to 50!

Looking forward to SNE 2015. Wp

lol why did you say pwned in the 555 hand (h3)

Also how can you not stay at 100nl after winning 4bi
