Probably a dumb question (mine often are) but in the 16-man hypers how do you know which 3-handeds are bubbles and which are first table? Can't keep checking lobby billi-tabling. gl

Tyman, Im not not sure if you remember but you passed on some random freeroll you won in my last pgc thread from years ago. It was some freeroll i missed for bull**** reasons but you gave me a walk. I also remember you posting in both my thread and the rusedawg thread. I gues then i reali\ed you didnt gaf about a bs fr. and jdawg knows you well now and actually respects you which is rare so i guess umm ok bienvenidos

Long story short, good to see you posting again bro.

We did randomly bring you up and jdawg said you play cash or something now.

What's the story? What games do you play and should i change?

Really though, thx for staying loyal...

**** forgot about blakman. im a lurker on this site but ive seen your posts in mttc and know who you are from jdawgs. Youre a good higher abi mtt player yeah?

so mucho gusto a tus dos
Haha I vaguely remember that. Feel like I remember you maybe trying to run a marathon with your brother or something like that. Was it related to running?

lol i forgot about you guys doing that combined pgc thread.

Yeah I play cash. Pretty much been majority midstakes cash grinder for a long time now. I really only ever grinded sng wayyyy back long before even black friday. I pretty much went from playing a bit of everything -> hu cash ->ring cash after black friday. I'll play occasional high value tourneys or live mixed games here or there as well though.

If your ev is 6 fig or near that yearly at these hypers no way I'd switch to anything else unless you think those games are dying soon. Although being able to transition between a bunch of different formats prob leaves you best prepared for the uncertain future of poker.

Thx man. Once i get heads up i move it to a different stack. So then i know all multihanded games in that stack are ft. I still mess it up every once in a while. Figuring out my table layout was one of the biggest hurdles switching over to this.

That's about the deepest strat talk youll get from me in these games, just so everyone knows.

Hey buddy hope youre doing well. He mostly just does pac12 now yeah? I havent watched any college aside from Duke this year so I havent heard Bill, but i do have league pass and watch about a dozen games a week. Your bulls are quite the ****show this year lol. This new coach seems to have a different approach...

Yeah think it might have been that one. Was ****faced the night i posted that after the NFL game so now i cant even remember lol. Def remember you from the old threads and me and jdawg were just talking about you the other day.

Yeah im really love this grind. Feel like when i comes to masstabling pushfold in weird ICM situations Im one of the best there is. Just trying to get as much money out of these games while theyre still being offered. I do want to do some more review to help out my MTT and HU games so that stuff will translate better into other formats once these games die.

Gl this year

I think i actually had my highest ever last weekend at around 30. I usually try to not do more than 24. But with this grind i have it really bounces back and forth. Sometimes a ton of games will pop and youll get to fts of 16m and bubbles of 6m. But others youll bust everything early. So me and another player who are regging the exact same games could have 1 guy 18 tabling while the other guy is 10 tabling

Hey I'm a cash player, but would be interested to hear more about the longer sessions. How did you go about 2-3xing your session lengths, what was your process? How much worse are you playing in your opinion at hour 8 compared to hour 1?
I wanted to make a longer post on this and will. In short, it's like training for a running or biking race. If your goal is x speed/tables over x hours; start by trying to play that session length with a lower table count. And then over time just add more tables

Keep in touch man, id def take a longish vacation to PDC if you move down there.


Im gonna do a longer update but heres my sng graph for the month so far. Getting killed in MTTs but I sell most of my action in higher bi mtts so not personally down that much in them.



So ill hammer down the specifics in my next post but gonna do 2 more freerolls. One will be for improving my time in this hill workout i run by my house, the other will be a volume goal for grinding.

3 20 dollar freerolls for both of those. Next 6 posters get them. Either say freeroll 1 for the running one or freeroll 2 for the poker one.

fyp :I



hey, pretty meh. had my lamest poker year with no 4-fig score and pretty b/e at the 3.5$s, also close to zero learning

still haven't moved up to 7$ 18man besides ~20 games, so unless you play 3.5$ it's unlikely we shared a table

what is it with those 16man games, can you still unreg them or do you have to play target to actually earn T$ for winning them?

gl man

freeroll 1 of course, get healthy mofo

Ok you 3 get 1. I need to beat the time i set last week in this hill run by 15 seconds by end of feb 8th.


My bad Uhrenknecht, sexist generalizations itt I swear we'd played some recently but maybe not. Do you still post in strat threads in the SNG forum? Maybe I saw you there?


Yeah MCC aside from Lauri and possibly Carter they dont have too much going for them. I honestly dont know what to think about Zion. His 3 stroke is so ugly but his FT arent super terrible so maybe he could improve. Obv his fg pct isnt gonna carry over to NBA. Will be interesting to see what he becomes and if a body that bulky and explosive can stay healthy. This draft is super top heavy so hopefully you can bink a top 2 pick.

Thoughts on the Porzingis trade?




Havent been working out that much this last week and have turbo series starting sunday so really need to get back in gear to make this one.

Good to see you posting here monaaybags. We do see a ****load of eachother. Gl during the turbo series hopefully we can both bink something.

So for this freeroll i need to play 6k games between start of this sunday and end of day saturday.

It depends on the tourney. Some are must play. Other you can back out of but usually they are super reggy up until the point it's too late to back out. And then you get the random one that goes like 18 minutes and gets you stuck in an mtt when you want to be done for the day lol.

Figuring out how to jump in and out of lobbies is another skill that takes a while to nail down for this grind.

Had a pretty busy few days. Moved from my fully furnished condo to a newly remodeled with 0 furnishings condo today. Spent last few days buying so much little **** and packing **** up. Couldnt move into the new place until 3pm today and had to be out of old place by 6pm so it was a tight squeeze. Luckily it is in the same place and on the same floor so is just a 45 second walk between the two places. Also now i have all my own furnishings and finally forced myself to buy a real grind desk.

Still want to do a longer post on my thoughts on how to help your grind. For now Ill just post pics of some of my regular meals i prepare beforehand and eat during normal grind days.



So this is my goto bfast if i have time for something more than oatmeal. Ill do an eggwhite scramble, this one with turkey bacon, diced bell peppers, black beans, diced hash brown and feta cheese. Ill usually eat these after ive done a quick workout/stretch but before I start playing.

For longer sessions ill have two meals during grinding. I almost always include a salad. This one has a mix of arugula and mixed greens, bell peppers, turkey breast, feta cheese, diced carrots and these weird croutons that have lower carbs and more fiber.





My other meal will usually be some kind of stir fry. Usually either beef, chicken or shrimp. One of these is a just chicken breast and steamed green beans with this really tasty Jamaican rice. The other i snapped a pic before i portioned it out with rice for the meal but its a shrimp stir fry. Prob need to go lighter on the sauce if i want to hit these fitness freerolls.





Trying to start at 715 tmrw so gonna try and pass out. Gl this weekend everyone.

^Ha, thats a long time to be in the tank but glad you finally figured it out

I also remember where i saw your sn, i had been coaching a guy that played in a lot of your games. Was driving me crazy where id seen you.

Sorry freerollers, made both with room to spare.




I somehow did the run .01 miles less than before but beat old PR by 20 seconds instead of 10 so i think its ok




Trying to make it on the grind by 530 tmrw so gonna keep this brief. Gonna do a new freeroll to next 5 posters. 20 dollars each. Have to do 10:50 or better on this same run by end of saturday feb 23.



Its a pretty decent run, downhills followed by uphills. Am pretty embarassed i couldnt beat an 8 min pace but ive been super unhealthy here lately so i think i should see results pretty quick. Just on this run i was doing my best pace on the last hill and flat ending.



App is called runkeeper if anyone is looking for a free jogging up.
