Hi all, I'm a 24 year old poker player / student studying Property Surveying from Scotland.

The goal of this thread is relatively simple, make a lot of $$$ before Xmas. I will then make a contribution to those less fortunate during the festive period. The better I do, the more I donate.

I hope to achieve these goals by playing Spins, mainly $100s.

I come from a HU Hyper background (have had a couple threads in the past) so this new Spin format is interesting to me despite it being a lot higher variance :/. The appeal of these games though are you can win big (although i have lost the 2 100x I have been part of ) and the more easily obtainable VPPs.

Currently I am on approximately 150k VPPs for the year and aim to make 300k total.

Here are my current graphs up until the end of September. I don't check my results or cashier until roughly 2 weeks into the month, this helps me not to obsess with very short term results. So far i believe it has worked well.

100s graph -

60s graph (have stopped playing these for the time being but I may go back to mixing them if the 100s get too reggy) -


Combined -

I plan to update this thread fairly often (meaning I'm winning )
heres hoping i can bink the 300k


Gl everybody and thanks for reading.

Where about in Scotland are you from?

You're playing way higher than I ever did but played a decent amount of $15 and under heads up hypers in the past myself, fun times!

GL man! Nice gesture donating to less fortunate at Xmas too!

Have a look at these guys. If you want to maximise the impact the amount you're donating has, there's a bunch of research about how to .

I have a standing order to the GWWC trust (which gets split between the 5 most effective charities at the time), but if you want to know exactly what your money's doing there's also a recommended list you can pick from.

Can I consider myself less fortunate if spins don't treat me good, so you ship say humble 10% to me? Joking aside the good karma is much deserved.

Also this, which is absolutely true story:

Yea I donated to the EK Hospice end of last year, sick you raised so much! Kudos for that Squire.



UPDATE



Since I last updated i did bink a 10k spin (thanks Kobmish for the spoiler). That was a really fun one to win and have a +$50k hourly
I won a flip vs A13X_J0nes ATss>88 and then had the biggest fish HU who min donked every hand on all 3 streets which was nice

Since that I have downswung the exclusion of spinwiz, and more recently skype chats, have made the games a lot tougher for sure but I'll keep battling and trying to improve.

I am on course to make 50k vpps this month (at ~29k vpps) which I'm happy with. I'm going to Edinburgh at the end of the month for a couple days with a few friends so I'll hopefully have hit the elusive 50k by then.


I'll leave a couple graphs and threadsavers to finish, GL all

Last 700 games



100s total
