Marry her! Damn all those mexican chicks looking so ****in' hotttt

Normally playing MTTs, used to play some 6max hypers sometimes, but i wanted to give a try to this 6max pkos (micro stakes though), 6-8 tabling is ok, but how the f you register after that I feel like when i register to new tournies while 8 tabling, i am timebank sitting out on half of my others

I guess i will need a new monitor for just for the lobby

Was railing a bit yesterday, idk i cant watch more than 6 at same time, but seem like you were doing fine

How long sessions do you play, and do you play multiple sites at the same time or just fire up session on stars, after that move to another site ?

Hm thank you for your answer .I see u get a lot of chicks and ur fan of bubble buts kinda im not but everybody have their own taste.Can i ask how i can study for ranges or at all for this 25 bb SKO hypers? I have hyper experience but im not reg at all.

Are you playing WSOP this year?
They are offering SNGs aswell^^

I don't think that someone who's playing zillion sngs online at the same time is compelled to come on the WSOP and 1 table

Hahah, definitely have learned my lesson and won't be trying to get into a serious relationship with any girl that work at a club anymore.

Latina chicks are confirmed super hot. I always put it this way....the body that the typical white girl in their 20s-30s who is going to the gym multiple times per week, works out hard, eats well etc, is just the natural body that a lot of like 16 yr old Mexican girls have lol. Super curvy w big ole booties and hardly any fat etc, a lot of them just have that naturally here

Nah I've never played the WSOP. I've talked about it during past years, but specifically during the SNE era/immediately after (2016/2017), the games were so great during the summer that there's no way that the EV could even come close in comparison to going to Vegas. Once you take into account the travel cost, cost of staying there, the action you are selling, etc etc, it would never make sense for me to go grind WSOP.

Last year and this year would be the first years where it would make sense, but summer down here is always amazing and I always have such a great time and going and grinding in LV just doesn't sound appealing to me.

Haha, I would say on average I'm a fan of girls that have a big ole booty, but I also have/have had some girls that are less curvy that I'm super into as well. To me it really just depends on the girl.

For the long term readers, they'll remember Daniela/Sofia, she was my #1 girl for most of 2015 and spent a lot of time over at my place. Would just randomly arrive with no message before as she'd want to smoke my good bud . Then would chill and watch Netflix or w/e while I'd finish up grinding and we'd go out for dinner and have a nice night or w/e




Speaking of her, I need to hit her up and see how she's doing and see when she can come over. We haven't been together since the night that Bfizz+Fernanda, my mechanic Nick and his GF Betty and her and I went to Ollies pizza and then to Ricky's bar to do Karaoke lulz. Ridiculous night




The English teacher + ballet instructor I'm currently dating isn't curvy at all either. Tiny, skinny girl, just has really big calf muscles and the like from holding ballet poses

First pic she just sent me like an hour ago from school. Parent-Teacher conferences at school, she's super OI and hates the job lulz.











To study the 25bb SKOs you'll want to use HRC, HoldemResourcesCalc. Just make sure you have the settings in the payout correct for the format or you'll be running the sims incorrectly. I actually went and looked and yea, $kill Game has a >5% avg ROI overall at the format and therefore also at the $5s and $10s ofc






Let me know your PS name and I'll ship you $25. I remember when this was, I didn't cut the $25s and $30s soon enough and stick to just $50s+. I have a question, was I acting reasonably quickly even while playing that table count, or was I noticeably slower? I think I still play fairly quickly, but the issue is I am not analyzing the spot well enough, just doing tons of autopiloting which is especially not good in the SKOs.

I actually do the registering manually, the video in my OP shows that for the sats. I've just played for so long that it all seems natural and easy to me. Jorj95 was the same way, he used to manually reg while he was 50+ tabling 6m hyper sats way back in the day.

In terms of my average session for the 25bb, I'd say its probably around 2 hours or so. I have played a 5 hour session of them before and felt pretty good at the end of it, but I'm trying, for life balance/health, to stick to like 1.5-2.5 hour sessions and then taking a break so I can get up and walk around and so some stretching and light exercising.

It's kind of funny, a 2.5 hour session now seems very very short to me. Before switching to the sat + MTT grind, I used to struggle playing more than 2 hours at once and now the time just flies by and I can't believe I've already played 2.5 hours. But that's because my average session was ~6.5-7 hours from 2015-2018 with many 12 hour/1500+ game sessions in there




__________________________________________________ _

Well, didn't play much yesterday but got some okay study in once again. I also just woke up like an hour ago and therefore have gotten myself started off badly again today. Oh well, since I'm mostly focusing on fixing my sleep, waking up at X hour to grind Y hours in a day just isn't really important to me right now. I'll obviously wake up at my normal time to start my Sunday grind, but otherwise didn't really care what happened this week.

I'm about to get outside for a quick minute and then come up and eat some breakfast and do some light stretching and then will jump in. I'm hoping I can get 4+ hours of grind in today, it's just going to depend on whether I have to cruise over to Nicks house or not this afternoon to get my Durango before Vivi shows up.

Let's see if Alisha can keep the graph going in the correct direction






GLA on the grind today

in, gl on the 2019 goals dude

AStefan97 it is, thanks

No, from what i saw you were playing very quick, didn't even realize difference while you were playing ~10 or 24 tables (as i mentioned i am only able to rail 6 tables at a time), also haven't seen you even once on the timebank, that's why i thought you use some software for auto registering, because that is what takes most of my time and focus when i am multi tabling.

Yeah, i was railing almost from the start to the end, and it really seems short, even from railing perspective I am used to longer sessions, since i mostly play or rail MTTs, but i think i will try this 6max hypers with some 2 to 3 hours sessions and see how will that work.

Thanks for all the answers, gl on your next session(s) !

Living the good life! Keep up the grind and hope you crush 2019

Thanks bro, yea lets getemm. Ollies sooooon

Sent you PS yesterday. Also thanks much for the answer, I feel like I play pretty quickly as even while mass tabling, I get annoyed by the guys that play slowly and there's a few of them in my mind specifically. Glgl on the tables

**** yea we livin the good life down here . Thanks much and gl in 2019 as well!


______________________________________________

Sup fellas, the lack of volume continued its trend yesterday, had a couple mechanic related errands I had to run and then also was just a lazy hog that woke up super late and didn't get going on the grind until 3pm. Vivi was already on her way to my place at 5pm, so sure didn't leave much time to grind!

Vivi and I had a great night together, talked about the ****show night which was the last time we saw each other and worked all of that out. Seems like me getting sick and her having her ankle problems and being alone for most of it has made us both think about things better and mature in some ways.

She is definitely skinnier than before and has lost some of her booty (sad!), but most wild was how tiny/skinny her surgery leg has gotten in comparison to her other leg. Though I honestly thought she was going to be more skinny and that she was going to have lost more of that perfect booty. And even though she has her thyroid condition and hasn't been able to go outside or do much of anything besides sit/lay down for 2 months, she still looks really amazing imo even without makeup...always told her she didn't need it as she looks super beautiful with the completely natural look.




Pic of the 1 side of her ankle, damn, it looks super nasty in person.














She just left a bit ago, going to eat some breakfast and study a few spots and then try to hit the grind for a while. Just started watching Hannibal and am really into it. It has definitely been part of why I haven't been grinding enough this week. I try to not start watching new TV shows as I get too caught up in them, but I started this one like a fool and now am hooked

Graph of my tiny grind yesterday below, going to try to put in more games than that today. Tomorrow will start like 15 mins before the Bounty 215 and go through the Supersonic, hopefully a 1200+ game day. GLA on the grind!

dude I was gunna post the same. feel like I'm going thru withdrawals. I need my croutons fix. gunna be my second sunday in a row without leftover pizza to get me thru the mtt grind

haha hannibal is a great show

gl on getting back into the rhythm of things! i'm also struggling on this front since the new year

Haha yea bro, Vivi was legit very very sad when I told her Ollies wasn't open yet. She's really craving that ****, can't blame the girl! Good to see you last night and maybe will cya in a few hours. Glad nothing bad happened last night lulz

Yea I'm loving it! And yes, I really need to get back in the swing of things, hope you can find your rhythm as well!

__________________________________________________

Well, now I've done it. Tgiggity and I had a bit too much fun last night and now I've missed a complete Sunday grind. What an idiot . Somehow didn't get home until 1 hour into the Sunday Kickoff to give you guys an idea of what time it was. I had a thought for a moment to try to grind through it and in the past I probably would have, but nowadays I end up thinking about things a little better and figured it wasn't worth potentially giving myself a panic attack + definitely putting a lot of extra stress on my body. But yes, starting Tuesday I'm definitely going to be getting back into a good routine and will be dedicating more hours to grinding and studying.

Yesterday in my short session we actually got a ton of $200s-$500s off, it was really great. Played a >$100 abi for the first time in a while, felt nice! Games have been a bit reggy across the board/formats to start the year, but that's not too surprising. Hopefully Turbo Series leads to me smashing the sats for some good results and mabye between now and then I can win some money back from this 25bb grind!


Day Graph






HS 25bb since Oct 30th when I started the 25bb grind as my main games
ABI $338



LS 25bb: I suck + running bad . Think I've found some leaks in my 25bb game though and am working on fixing them, hopefully results will get back to being solid!
ABI $52






Too lazy to open PT4 to get the SKO graphs, that'll be in some other update! Gla on the tables, hope your sundayfundays are going well



Edit: Forgot to post this, but Ruseman started a PGC for the first time in years. He'll be doing some freerolls in there as well, already offered one up for this weekend. Check it out
https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/1...-fold-1733798/

Sup everyone, just posting a quick update before hitting the study grind. The past 2 days I've put in sat sessions. I believe I'm going to revert to doing the sats on Tues-Thurs + Sat/Sun during peak, grinding that Bounty 44/Hot 82 slot through the Hot 109 on every day that isn't Sunday, where I obviously start earlier and finish later. Will come back and do 25bb + 25bb SKO afterwards and will definitely be doing a lot of 25bb on Fri+Sat afternoon/evening my time when the games tend to be pretty great. After doing some more analyzing and thinking about how many overall hours I can grind during a year (I'm capable of playing more sat hours than 25bb hours) and I think for the moment that my personal highest EV is still playing sats during the peak time where I have the high sat hourly.



Still very glad I finally picked up the SKOs and still very much looking forward to grinding 25bb and 25bb SKO during non peak hours. Will be reverting to the constant trying to stay sharp at all the formats which is a bit tricky but not unreasonable at all as I understand optimal ways to study to where I'm playing the vast majority of spots that come up very well across all the formats.



Graph of the past couple days, the sats have treated me kindly so far in my return to them . Hopefully that will continue as January overall hasn't been very good one bit!







About to run some sat spots and then have to shower and get ready for a late afternoon-evening engagement. Should be hitting up Puerto Nuevo lobster village and will have to try to remember to snap some food pics. GLA on the grind

In.

I was just in Puerto Nuevo a couple months ago, best $25 spent. Gotta make the drive down again sometime soon. Also think you'd easily crush the live games here in San Diego, but live is pretty boring and big adjustment from your grind.

Glgl.

Can't imagine you'd have any issue transitioning to live and having a good hourly. Volume is so yuck and all the wasted time and extra expenses too, but I guess if you can play big enough it'll be worth it. Enjoy that lobster!

In

innnnnnn

just try to balance your abi. so if you play only 1.05$ your ABI is 1.05 obv and you want a next level of +50/66/100% and not 500%.

for exampe If you play 3x1 + 1x5 then your abi will be 8$/4games = 2$

you can also link your ABI to your BR:

let's say 250$ and you want to play 200 BI BRM. That would be an ABI of 1.25$ that's preferred. This would be 1$x15+5$x1 =20$/16 games. So in 16 games you can hit one 5.5 and just adapt your new BRM with the money lost or won.

say those 16 games you play since there are none left and start again. With a -100% ROI shot you now would have an preferred ABI of 1.17$ now. 27$ / 23 games = 22 x 1$ + 1x 5$

by getting a feel for how often you can start a 5$ underrolled, you will be having no significant downswings since they directly pair with your ABI that you define based on your Bankroll

Thank you Uhrenknecht!

I appreciate your input and I will definitely incorporate this concept into my bankroll management! (I would have never thought this way before)

so ****ing in

so sicckkkkk!! congrats man and goodluck!

1. Are you satisfied with your monitor's size (40inch)? If you could magically readjust its size would you change it?

2. What about the curved aspect of it? How does it feel for poker?

As you can guess I am looking forward to get a new monitor.

Best of luck at the tables!

Yea man, super great although I tend to go to Ortegas and it's a bit more pricey than all the other spots. If I'm on a date/with a girl I go there and if I'm with my buddies we tend to go somewhere else in there.

Also agree with what you said. I'm sure for the foreseeable future I'll be able to do very well in 5/5 and probably 5/10 games and make a good living while living in Mexico.

Being a long time reader of my threads you definitely know that I'm completely 100% with you in terms of thinking about the live grind. Like so many guys that go and grind in LV are just such idiots. They are spending heaps of money and then on average have such little %'s of themselves and then you take into account taxes etc, and it's just (puke) (puke)

Hope your week has gone well broski

welcome to this years thread ya'll. Thanks and gl as well!

I love this monitor that I have. I personally don't really notice the curvature of it when I'm sitting in front of it grinding. I think it's about the perfect size as bigger seems too big, but the Dell 30s seem to small. I think this is definitely something that depends from person to person though. Like Ruseman for example could never grind on this 40", I doubt he could even grind on a Dell 30 tbh.

But yea, my own personal view is it's a great monitor, especially for the price. Shoutout to blakkman08 for the suggestion



__________________________________________________ _

Got beaten up pretty badly today on the tables which is no good. The only positive is that the traffic was super sick all day today. I think I tabled too hard today as I was mostly in the 20-22 range and I think I'm way better off in the 16-18 range, but holy crap, this $109 million led to just insane amounts of traffic and games were fairly decent and it was hard to skip so many games! But definitely next Sunday I'll be looking to keep my table count a bit better in check.

Day Results



EV: A pretty accurate description of how the past bit has gone lulz. Just lots of b/e EV and running way under in green





YTD update














I forgot to take pictures in Puerto Nuevo lobster village the other night, I really am the worst at remembering to take pics etc lulz. But I do have a few other food related pics to post.

This is from last weekend at this really awesome spot right up the road from me. It's a brewery + restaurant, they serve sushi, ceviche, super bomb steak tacos/shrimp tacos/the like, these really awesome sushi burritos...just tons of really good food. Just introduced some different burgers de borrego (lamb) to their menu last week as well. They get everything local and fresh, really great place.

This is from Saturday night when I was already quite buzzed, after watching the Pacquiao fight. Trying to find the words to describe what the scorpions taste like, but I don't really have the words for it lulz. Always pound a shot of a certain tequila that the owner recommended to me when I/we eat them together. Shoutout to expert cameraman Tgiggity here

Link to google drive vid of me eating a scorpion and being a drunk idiot making weird faces and noises lulz

screen capture




I'll have to remember to take more pics there but this is the octopus ceviche that Denice really likes so snapped this to her when I was there last Sunday watching NFL with Ruse, John, Bfizz, Fernanda and Mr Junior




That was also the night of the lunar eclipse, the ole blood moon was out in full force in our neck of the woods. A guy that I know that lives right up the road from me came into the sushi spot and showed me the pics he had just taken from his place on the water, super sick photos










This is from last night with the English teacher + ballerina when we went to eat at Susannahs restaurant downtown. Pictured are
-spinach feta cheese rolls
-jalapeno cream cheese empanadas
-susanna's pizza
-crab cakes rangoon

After stuffing our faces with appetizers, we split a filet mignon and then we were on our way out the door!



And before that, she was modeling her new tutu that she had me order for her off of Amazon. Always funny watching her spin around the house, I get dizzy just watching










Anywayyyy, I'm about to get a bit of study in before heading to bed. Quite tired after the big losing Sunday. Plan of attack for the week is
-Monday 2 small sessions of 25bb+25bb SKO
-Tues through Thurs sats during peak with optional 25bb at night
-Friday 25bb+25bb SKO afternoon-evening
-Saturday 1/2 session of mostly higher stakes to save energy for Sunday
-Sunday starts Turbo Series and likely will play every single day until the series ends


GLA on the tables

Well, this very quickly changed heh. One of my closest buddy's, who also lived in Rosarito from 2011 to 2013, ended up hitting me up on Monday morning asking about some bank related issues he's having with his accounts here in Mexico. In the end, he just booked a flight on a moments notice I was already picking him up yesterday at 11am and he's going to be here until Friday, so mostly GG week .

I went with him to the first bank yesterday to translate back and forth, but today my assistant Susy is going to be taking him and I'll log some 25bb hours while they are out. It ended up taking us about 2.5 hours yesterday but we left with all the cash from his account and the account was closed, so in the end was a successful trip. These banks are just so poorly run and nobody seems to know what the **** they're doing, it's pretty absurd.

Super super great to see him though, I rarely get visitors. Ruseman, he and I ended up going to the brewery + sushi spot and ran into Bfizz, Fernanda and Junior. Tonight is the first night that Ollies pizza is back open and everyoneeee I know in Rosarito seems to be saying they will be there between Wed-Sat lolz. Tgiggity, Ruseman, Jason, and myself going today at 5pm for an early pizza dinner...gonna be amazing.

Vivi is supposed to be on about 9 more days of essentially bed rest, but she said last night she's really craving a beer and really wants to see me/spend the night, so she's going to try to come on Friday and will definitely be wanting to go to Ollies herself . I'm all for multiple Ollies trips this week after going 3.5 weeks without it.

Speaking of her, even she can't believe how good she still looks. Sent me these 2 pics below the other day with this text
[3:23 PM, 1/28/2019] Vivi: me siento Muy feliz
[3:23 PM, 1/28/2019] Vivi: Porque sigo con mi cintura
[3:23 PM, 1/28/2019] Vivi: I love it

Literally translates to
'I feel very happy because I continue with my waist.' Basically saying she loves that she hasn't really lost her figure at all. I too am surprised especially since she has the thyroid condition and she very quickly can get skinny/frail looking if she isn't careful. I lol'd at her 'I love it' at the end, imagined her saying it with her cute accent when she speaks English











Anywayyyy, Susy has just walked in the door and so I'm going to make sure she knows exactly what Jason needs to do and that we're all on the same page. Then it'll be grind time for a bit! GLA on the tables
