Hi Gazzypro 
Hope all is well.
Was wondering how would i fare against the speed nl20 regs?
Lets say im as skilled as you are ( which are all lies cause ur a hero ).
But yeah, im a nl50-100 reg, normally.
Was just thinking of opening up abit of tables on Coral for the lolz.
Think 8 speed tables look so sexy
Be good my man

Firstly the 20nl pool is about 100 strong, which will obviously mean there are a lot of fishies out there. Secondly, a good few 50nl regs mix in 20nl (maybe just for this promo, maybe just because it's profitable). Thirdly, I play 9 tables at once with no HUD and literally try to break even at worst for 3/4k hands a day. With all that I can't really say for sure if the field is tough or not. I think any 50 or 100 reg worth their salt would do ok, BUT if you're not playing on iPoker already I wouldn't recommend moving across, because the software is aids!
Haha if by skilled you mean 800x better than I'll ever hope to be, then yes, maybe SID
Smells like jealousy of my 4* thread huehuehuehue
Spoiler:
Rough day yesterday, couldn't beat 20nl and then jumped into 50, got molested at the start and properly had the fear, but recovered well and took a cooler at the end and gave up for the day. That was at about 10pm and I was awake until 6am, 8 hours of time spunked away that could've been put towards my volume requirements! 4k still a good haul. I've got social plans tonight so will aim for 4k speed hands, 1.5k+ 50 hands and to be so drunk that I cannot stand at the end of the night. #solidlifegoals

Genuinely top banter today Pitapita, well played mate. Buying you a titwank next month when you're here for sure.
Cman, you had to opt in at end of August mate, if you never you'll not be included. It's this - http://www.coral.co.uk/poker/exclusivecptpromo
Was grinding hard today and after about 300 hands God decided I wasn't allowed to win any hands any more. Fortunately, after about 600 hands later he stopped being such a **** and let me start winning again. Gonna have to have a talk with God I think. Much needed after that -£500 day a few days ago, and now I can justify going out to get absolutely ****ed tonight.
I ran too good not to post hands!
Vs complete unknown, was like meeeeeehhh can go either way here.
Wp to villain for quite literally the worst turn call in the history of turn calls. Das what u get mayne
Spent the last 18 months developing the image of being a spewy unbalanced rakeback grinder and today those 18 months finally paid off when villain called me down here
100% started celebrating when I gii here purely because I knew there was a 0% chance I was missing. Srs.
Still digging my boner out the ceiling after that river hit...
Played this hand pretty badly but shovelled the last few $ in coz I'm all about that redline, bout that redline, no blueline
Decided at the last second to go 1/3 pot vs fish, thank God I did!
No.
Bout that redline, bout that redline...
Ok, that'll do. I'm hyper as **** as you can probably tell. I'll make up for today's poor volume by playing 10k hands of 20nl speed tomorrow. If I don't then I will never eat pizza again. You have my word on that.
Have a brilliant Saturday night all.

You didn't mind it in March. You were asleep to be fair.
Busted MTT in 10th place with 99 vs 78dd on 4478bdfd, yucky to bubble FT but was fun. Would've been 3/9 going into FT zzz. Gonna man up and 9 table 20nl speed for a couple of hours before bed.
Ty to those who tuned in. I didn't realise that nobody could hear me after the break! I was telling stories from last night. Went onto a balcony of players who let's just say play a lot higher than me and interrupted their conversation about poker to tell them about my recent downswing and how tough 50nl is these days

I have mate. In all seriousness before I hit my recent downswing I did a bit of work and was beating 100, but then the worst luck imaginable really set me back. Thankfully while I was downswinging I did a LOT of work on stuff, with the help of my skype fwends, and now that the variance has ironed out I am seeing better results it's early days but I'm working on it and I'm still very motivated to move on up!

First and foremost, scrap your volume goals. These clearly aren't working for you atm.
Secondly scrap zoom. These games are tough and you're not there yet.
Doing "a bit of work" is not going to cut it and you won't be playing in the 200nl games without a lot of heat.
Find a backer that gets the ****s with some of these hands youre posting. Honestly, some are atrocious, and you obv know it so why isn't you're backer mad?
Whats wrong with playing 4x4hr sessions, 6 tabling and the rest of your time on RIO learning how to become a crusher. For f's sake, if that dog pork tard can make it to the top, surely you could aswell.
