Are you the only one who received this SNG challenge or was it country specific (what about Ruse ?)

Even 7.7% RB for the chests alone seems "high" to me, do you mind sharing your points requirement per chest ?

gl in the turbo series

Yea I just try to play a lot of volume and with the small edge I have in the games, it does add up to a good amount of money (in theory ) over the course of a year! My idea is to hopefully breakeven or better playing the MTTs and then profit in the the hyper sats

I talked a bit about my setup in this post

Heyo much my friend. Gl to you as well, I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of each other on the tables

Hahah my bad, I meant to update after the Sunday grind and after the Monday grind, but god damn, I am exhausted by the time I'm done playing and always have a lot of little **** to get done. Can definitely tell I'm getting old!

Thanks for the GL, same to you if grinding


Yea, I also never tracked my chests, but figured this was a good time to start! Gl in your MTTs this week my friend, UL in the Million

Hey! You still grinding? Haven't seen you on the tables in quite a while I don't think

So I got that promo for 3 weeks back in January. Ruseman did not receive it, nor did any of the other SNG regs I talk to (a couple 6max/16man hyper sat guys and a couple 6max 25bb guys). So I'm really not sure why I got it. It seemed to be for higher stake players since the lowest stakes included on it was $30.

Other than those 3 weeks, I haven't received anything of any real value since chests dropped last year, but I have been running kind of hot in the chests I've opened in 2018.

I usually need 48,000 points per chest. Sometimes when there isn't volume or I take a few days off, I drop to the gold chest and that one requires 18,000 points IIRC.

My typical platinum chest (48k points) is some amount of stars coins, $10 cash or $10 Ts and then like 600-1k points on my progress bar. Pretty **** heh. Will be interesting to see how much RB I made during the Turbo Series once it is over. Was part of my reason to update thread right before the series started

_________________________________________

Quick update before I get back to chowing down on this unhealthy pizza and then hitting the study grind for a tiny bit before heading to bed. Super super tired, can definitely tell I'm getting older as my energy level by the end of these COOP/festival days is significantly lower than in past years. I am also a ton more physically sore, legs and behind my knees have been killing me even though I've been stretching more than ever before and I rotate between sitting and standing every hour. Oh well, nothing to do but power on! Taking Caridoxen (naproxen) every night which does help a bit. It's a muscle relaxer that seems to not have as many negative side effects as a lot of other ****. Other than that + all the stretching I do, I also do the legs up the wall position since my feet are under me all day long whether I'm standing or sitting.

SNG volume has been really great, happy with how it's gone in that regard. Unfortunately I'm running absolute dog**** at the upper end of my low stakes, but on the bright side have been heatering it up in $74 6max to the $215 mtts.

Made a few MTT runs the last couple of days. Really annoying finish in the $109 Sunday Cooldown with like 4 double ups of shortstacks happening before I limp/jam BVB with AKo for about 35 BBs as 2/5 (3rd place having <15bb) and run into BB CLers QQ somehow and lose that flip as well. 5th for $5k and change instead of being 1/5 with a huge CL with >20k up top.

Also lost overall CL pot with 40 left in the $109 6max PSKO turbo series event yesterday and then today got 2 outer river rebinked in a 3way AI for a top 5 stack with 53 left in the $215 bubble rush event. Oh well, hopefully saving it for something better!






Here's my graph each of the 3 days since the Turbo Series has started. Monday was just a half session, pretty ridic to get ~1000 games in though anyway heh


Sunday




Monday





Tuesday






Was taking a look at my 6max EV for the $18-37.50 stakes as I've been taking an absolute pounding there and then at the $14 and $27.50 16mans. Luckily my EV is holding strong, the DS has gotten really absurd here at the end of the graph lolz, straight plummeting . Hopefully those 4 buyin levels/games will turn around soon, on like a ~10k DS at them or something like that











Anddd since we were on the subject of chests above, this was my 1 chest that I opened yesterday. First time I had binked a $100 chest in quite a while. I did have an insane string of binking many of them within a short time span at the very start of the year though. Something like hitting 6 $100 chests by Jan 7th or something like that. Sad that PS has wrecked us so much that I actually get excited over this **** lol, RB % still just utter ****








Going to end it there, 215 150k 8max, 109 300k 6max psko and 215 150k on the slate for tomorrow, should be another big day of action! Gla on the tables

Man I really like your updates, so inspiring!

I have tracked my chests/RB sporadically this year but will start documenting all of it now as well. I think I have around 7% RB so far this year, for low/midstakes. Most cash I ever received in a chest was $5..

and also lol at that last graph with winnings plummeting, but you know what they say, before a big rise comes a big fall! This just means you will have a ridic good day soon

Im not really playing hypers/turbos regularly so this series isn't really for me but it's very fun to rail/watch twitch alongside my normal grind

Do you have any plans on doing anything on twitch maybe?

Haha, yea the chests really are absurd, I don't see how PS can possibly think that recs like opening chests and receive pennies, kind of doesnt make sense to me.

I was hoping you were right and that the LS upswing would happen today, but it did not unfortunately haha . Maybe tomorrow...

At this point I don't have any real plans to join twitch. My grind is too intense to actually be able to interact with people while I'm playing. Plus I kind of like to do my own thing, am sitting here singing along to music, watching TV on my side computer, chatting a tiny bit with a few people during the slow times etc. Twitch isn't really appealing to me whatsoever. Also don't want to show my cards in the hyper turbos so viewers would be stuck watching me nit it up in some MTTs heh

I will for sure at least accompany Bfizz11 a few times this year while he is broadcasting on Twitch. Not me personally streaming most likely (though that could maybe happen a few times, but not on any important grind day), but I will be there grinding with him or railing him or whatever it might be and interacting with everyone.

Glgl if you grind this weekend


___________________________________________

Gonna pop in to make a super quick update. The volume I've put in so far this series is absurd. I am already on 13.5k games in 5 days! I will be sleeping in a tiny bit later tomorrow and skipping the early event as I'm not really interested in waking up early to grind $9 6max with how tired I am.

Since I will start at 8:30 tomorrow with the Bounty 44, I'm likely going to make myself stay up for an hour to run some spots right now. Hopefully am in bed by 11:15 and to sleep by midnight (in 2 hours). Get 7.5 hours of sleep which will be by far the most I've gotten in a night since last Friday night and then get to the Friday grind! Since the last event tomorrow is a hyper turbo, I am really hoping to be able to run 100+ sims tomorrow night after the grind. Probably will shut off skype/facebook/browser and just turn on some music and crank out some spots...seems to be the only way I can actually get myself to productively study these days; forcing it upon myself



Before getting to the SNG graph, should mention that I did get 3rd today in the Bounty 109. Embarrassing amount of bounties won, what a nit! Will take it though as I got crippled on the FT bubble and managed to spin it back up after being 8/8 at the FT.










Andddd the SNG graph for the 5 days of the series thus far






Gla on the grind

Grinding this weekend over at Bfizz11's stream house/office as I was quite sure my power was going to go out with the crazy winds happening this weekend. I've been in and out, making cameo appearances, throughout the day. I'm about to shut down my SNG grind though and will join Bfizz in his room as he winds down.

He's currently CL at the FT of the Big 7.50 and has a few SNG FTs going on as well....feel free to tune in!

https://www.twitch.tv/turbokings




Will maybe make an update later, if not it will be tomorrow night or Monday! Gla on the tables!

Subbed my Mexican hyper master <3 glgl

Sweet. I got your setup. I'll setup something nice for myself too once I decide to grind MTTs or regular cash)

You mentioned feeling old. Are you over 24?

Hi, reading your thread, nice one. I have a few questions, sorry if its been already asked:

How you playing so many hours ? Can you describe your routine ? How many hours do you sleep ? Playing 208hours AVERAGE/month is insane.

Haha watched you on Twitch after all the years for some reason (remember never heard you speak before) I'd never read your posts as having such a strong american accent if you know what I mean:-).

(hifive) thanks my friend, gl to you as well

Nice nice sounds good

I am 26 and turning 27 in 2 days actually! But yea, this has been the first series where even by doing more stretching etc than before, I'm feeling pretty physically sore. More motivation to get back onto the weightloss grind as soon as the series is over, around the holiday season I probably put 15 lbs back on after losing a lot from time SCOOP ended in May until December rolled around.

Hahah that's pretty funny. Thanks for tuning in and I'm excited to be back on the TurboKings channel quite soon....bfizz and I already have a plan for the fun show we're going to do after Turbo Series ends.

This has been asked some times before yea, I'll come back to this and answer when I have more time. Where did you get 208 hours avg/month BTW? Don't think that would be something I would have said as I actually don't know how many hours I average per month heh



_________________________________________________

Quick update, been crazy busy around here! Had a great time over at the TurboKings stream office this weekend with Bfizz. Both made good money, the stream was great (reaching 600+ viewers on Saturday!), and I'm looking forward to joining on the air again sometime soon!

Here's how we did this weekend. Bfizz shipped the Big 7.50 and then had a nice weekend of 180 and On Demand SNGs. I was close in a few mtts but crushed SNGs















So I noticed in my last update that I was SO tired that I entered the wrong dates and somehow didn't even notice that the game count for the Turbo Series was outrageously high lol. So yea, here is an updated graph for my SNGs during the Turbo Series

Turbo Series












And an updated low-mid graph that makes up >95% of the volume so far on the SNG challenge.

Challenge Low-Midstakes












But yea, looking forward to grinding the rest of the Turbo Series. Will probably mostly keep my foot on the throttle as I'll be grinding a series on a certain other site as well, good tournaments to play each day!

Was great to see a lot of familiar faces in the chat on Twitch. I finally set myself up with an account last night so I can participate in the Turbokings twitch chat a bit more. I did so today, was a bit of drama in there heh. But yea, hope some more of you tune into Turbokings Twitch channel, will see you there!

@imme lol, just got where you got 208 hrs/month from...my OP. Duh heh

Unsure how many hours I'll end up putting in, will email Stars at the end of the year to see if they can give me the count





Just got massage, feeling a good bit better. Going to eat quickly and then study some spots and then off to bed....back up quite early in the AM! Gla on the tables

Both you and Brian are putting in some serious grind this year. I can't think of anyone else putting in as much effort to building a brand as you guys. I really hope the Twitch channel kicks off big time.

Muchos respect. GL rest of the series.

Please have mercy for the poor people trying to pay their rent You're sitting in 16-player hyper sats at stakes down to $7.50, and Mr Ruseman is sitting there down to bloody $2.20. This is an absurd waste of energy for you both imo. Fewer tables would lead to better quality of play at each of them.

and i am only 13-18 tabling right now (want to mostly be 15-17 tabling, small bursts of up to 24 during specific times). different parts of the day i sit down to different bi lvls. earlier lowest 16m was $14 and lowest 6m $37.50

depends on many things, hour of day, day of week, etc...but i guarantee that i am maximizing my overall EV at all times which is all that matters

Hello mr. jdawg91. I noticed you were playing in a lot of the games on Pokerstars so I googled your screenname.

I read this thread and your other PGC-threads. I must say I am thoroughly impressed.

I am new to poker, and happy to contribute to the poker economy (I am a loosing player) and get some friendly advice.

Keep up the fantastic work and please know that you sharing your success is a tremendous inspiration.

Hey dude happy 27th birthday! I remember my 27th birthday, even if it was a few years ago now.. steaks and beer FTW!

Are you excited for the highrollers series in end of March?

What is your favourite series throughout the year? Being a turbo boss I can imagine this Turbo series is very fun, but is it your favourite?

Mine is SCOOP, I always take vacation from work in May to grind it out

Your volume is really impressive.
I am playing the same games, making 2-3 of this sessions per week is really good for me you play that everey single day unbelievable.
Do you have some special routines before/after the sessions?
And happy bday of course:-)

Hey all, appreciate the bday <3.

I will get back to all of these posts most likely on Monday, as I do try to answer questions as best as I can and can do so when I can put a bit of thought into my response.

As always, am happy to answer most questions


Gla on the grind, Lupita just left like 10 mins ago. I'm about to shower and then get on the grind!

happy belated bday!

Full update and response to other posts coming either tomorrow night or Monday

Finished up with the grind today and want to get to a decent amount of study as I basically haven't studied a single sng hand since the series started. Also want to be to bed early as I plan to wake up at 4:15 AM my time and be on the grind by 4:45 or so

Big day tomorrow, gl everyone


This <$100 graph coming along quite nicely, now if I could just quit running bad at the higher stakes
