Heyo, thanks for the kind words
. Not sure if it was you or another SD grinder that posted a few years back, but someone was telling me I should come play the 5/10 game at what was it, seven mile?

Heyo, I actually manually register everything so I don't have any suggestions for you unfortunately. I'm not sure if it's still legal to use, but always heard good things about SessionLord

Nice result as always so keep that coming.
I play micro sng/mtts but out of curiosity what did you change in your mtt game in general since you start to study so far?
BBZ and I basically broke down everything from scratch. I had a pretty good idea of what my leaks were going into the first session (too tight from tabling too hard (VPIP/PFR/3bing), too high of flop fold to cbet, not enough turn+river aggression) and I was pretty much spot on. BBZ looked at the #'s in my DB and identified leaks that way and then we jumped into isolating some of those leaks with filters and then looking at those spots in the areas I leaked in. Luckily since we've played against each other for so many years at HS 6m SNGs (since 2011/2012), he already knew my game pretty well and I was/am probably an easier project in a lot of ways compared to other players, in part due to this.
But yea, that was the how we fixed my bigger leaks and after I improved in those areas, we started working on getting me to think like him in spots and really understand the spots and the betting strategies and ratio requirements etc, which is the same sort of thing I have talked about in the past in relation to SNGs (I KNOW and UNDERSTAND the spots, whereas most regs MEMORIZE the spots, but don't really understand the logic behind what they're doing).
By now, I'm already asking him about close enough spots that he doesn't necessarily KNOW the answer and so usually I send him some spots the day before our session and he will run the PIO solutions and then we go through it during our sessions.
We've also started working on some 25bb hyper turbo stuff and for that he's been having to do some more prep work himself, running some spots taking ICM into account and whatnot. Obviously as he deals with mostly MTT players he has more of that work done and has less 25bb stuff prepped, especially for the areas I need help in.
While on the subject of it, I've been getting absolutely crushed at MTTs past 2 weeks, can't even cash anything haha! But evbb/100 numbers still looking strong since starting with BBZ. I cashed 8 FCOOP events out of about 80 or so events played, but no significant cashes at all and fired multiple bullets in a lot of them, so was still a decent sized loss.
Pics below filtered for $50+ mtts as that's all I really care about and including lower will overstate things in general. Of course sample still much too small, but at least I'm still winning at a nice clip on .com. The .es/.fr sample still WAY too small, though playing deep stacked with a ton of spanish and french rec players is certainly super profitable
ps.com: $158 abi / 9.79 evbb/100
ps.es/.fr: $137 abi / 22.1 evbb/100

Well, I guess this post will more or less be an update around the SNG challenge. Yesterday was a pretty annoying session, got like 40th and 10th earlyish into the day in the Bounty 215 and Hotter 82 and it mostly went down hill from there, both in terms of MTTs and in SNGs! Went 0/7 in $1k 25bb yesterday which is never a great idea. Overall was a frustrating day but whatever, it happens.
The sole bright spot was at the very end of the session, when I managed to bink another $500 chest lol, this one on .com
Ended up going to dinner with Bfizz and Fernanda last night and we were catching up on some TurboKings business and briefly touching on many subjects. In exciting news, at some point in the near future, I should be being featured on the stream and at some point within the next few months, I should actually be broadcasting some evening sessions! Obviously more details to come on that
On that subject, been a lot of heat to start April for Team TK! Hopefully the crushing will continue. Last graph I have is going into Sunday's session, know we also had a small live bink over the weekend which is cool too
Will briefly go over my plan of action for the week. This actually going to help me too as I'll get my grind plan figured out in my head right now.
Today is an off day and will be going in a few hours to pick up Karen from work and then doing dinner. Got a few things to take care of before that, including finally getting a hair cut. Am hoping that after dropping off Karen back home, that I can return to my place and hit the study grind pretty hard.
Tues-Thurs will be grind days, tomorrow I'll stop with Bounty 55 and Wed/Thurs I plan to play the late stuff, with Thurs plan being a huge Hot 33 (7:15 AM start) through late Bounty 33 (4:30pm start) session. Tomorrow I have to stop early as Ruseman is coming over and Shana is coming over for massages for us both. I'll study while he's getting his massage, he'll study while I'm getting mine, and then we'll prob have a few cool spots to go over before heading out for dinner and then going our separate ways.
Friday Shana is supposed to go to the US to go to the DMV to get the Durango paperwork fixed. Putting it in her name so I don't have to find a California address to use. I myself have a meeting with my lawyer and will be bringing Nick, my mechanic, for the start of it as he has a few things he needs to ask her (he had another run-in with the police Friday night in my car and I had to go save the day with a bit of help from my lawyer). Might go with Shana to the US if I get done in time, if not, thinking I'll likely have a dinner date with Karen, so yea, seems playing is off the table for Friday haha.
Sat/Sun will be 2 big sessions, though might stop a bit early on Saturday as Karen and I might go to the beach with her puppy, TBT
Yea, so busy week. Always busy between grinding and real life ****.
Time to get into some numbers and graphs to wrap up this post!
