First, how did yesterday go?
WOOHOO I ran 7.5 above LETS GO AWICE RUNNIN HOT
(Yuck only 11k vpp though ;( )
Current VPP: 676,255
Current BR: $68,712 (popped 1600 bonus)
=====
Now it's time to get to questions. This will be a regular segment.
-
weigh your objectives, what % would you split making 8m vpp's and making an entertaining thread to follow?
I snap said 1% but I am obviously spending more than 1% of my time on this, so maybe 5%? XD I am definitely getting off track, but read the answer of the next question for why I feel that is.
--
I'd like to see more about the psychology of putting in such a heavy grind. There has to be days where you don't feel like grinding at all. I never play as well when forcing myself to grind. There has to be ways to improve this.
Overall diet and exercise are supremely important. They regulate sleep and your life and make you feel good about yourself. All of those things are very conducive to playing. The reason I haven't been playing much the last while is because I let those things slip.
The actual playing is relatively easy for me because of conditioning. I know I can do it. It's just more about shaping my life to do it (right now there are a lot of distractions) and having the right amount of sleep and energy.

HOW TO GUESS FOR THIS HAND:
If you think I have a pair you don't need to answer with suits. Example: 22
If you think I have a suited hand, you need to indicate the suit: either spade, club, heart. Examples: 3s2s, 4c2c, 3h2h
If you think I have an offsuit hand, or a hand with suited diamonds, you only need to indicate which cards you think are a spade. Examples: 3s2x, 3x2x
WHAT CAN YOU WIN?
2 pts - redeemable for a Sunday Million Ticket that we chop cashes 50/50. I/we will sweat your sunday million and see if we both add an extra $100k to our bankroll.
1 pt - redeemable for a $100 freeroll. If I don't make 20k VPP on the next day you win $100.

. Also do you pop your 1.6k bonuses as fast as you get them or do you just let your FPPs sit there and pop one whenever?
