Group of players at a given stake in husngs that play against weaker regs in order to stop them getting many games against fish.

Restriction lifted! Gogo record profit month! Platinum for sure, hopefully late push for supernova. Need a bit under 84k VPPs in 4 months. Should be easy if I get to 60s by end of next month. Plan this months is 2-3k Spins and most of the games I have left vs the 30s HU cartel.

Not a bad first day. Made quite a few obvious (borderline miss click) mistakes, ran like god, hit four 10x multis (sadly only cashed one, card dead/lost flips in others). Obviously not complaining, outrageously good start at least $ wise. Hoping for 65+ cEV a game for 1k games 3-6 tableing, with a large sitlist and manually registering when the queues are too long. If I get even 50+ cEV/game over that sample I'll start playing 60s as well.

Definitely a complete lock for platinum as I need less than 1k games and I plan to play around that many a week, on that note I'm a lock for supernova also.

Probably taking Friday-Monday mostly off because I'm spending time with a bunch of different friends and family at various times 'for my birthday', after that full focus on 60s by end of the month at the latest and 30s cartel by end of next month (likely this month).

Back on the grind! Weekend off was fun, I should consider taking days off more often. Played a quick set of 20 or so games and I'm running like I desecrated a shrine or something. Hasn't affected my mindset at all though, will shoot for at least 200 games between Spins and HU today and try and lock up platinumstar by the weekend.

Not the results I was hoping for but I feel like I improved a lot after the first 500 or so games. I think I ran pretty bad around the middle there but I don't necessarily have a great intuition for which spots are unavoidably gross and which spots are monsters of my own design.

Mostly 4-5 tabled with a large sit list of spinwiz or played 3 tables of manu regged games. For my next 1k games I'm going to stick mostly with 2 tables, sometimes a third and see if I can get my cEV to at least 50 a game. If I can maintain that I'll be able to play 60s in a month or two.

Also definitely aiming for Supernova this year (Just hit platinum for the first time yesterday ) Need 75k more VPPs, about 100 30s a day (probably more like 125 with a couple weeks off). If I'm playing 60s by November there won't even be a sweat.

Been completely slacking in volume. Had a few days off to hang with friends, then a lot of days off to hang with family, then got sick, then internet was cutting out, then house was overcrowded and I couldn't get any peace and quiet to play and also I could probably think of some other excuses. When I tried to get back on the grind I ran worse than ever in my life for a couple days so I took some days off to study and now finally the house is empty, I feel good about my game and I have the time to play.

First full day back at the games, studied a couple hours and spent almost 9 hours in actual games according to PT, can't remember working so hard. Goal this week is to keep it up and get 1k games in this week. If I have less than 40cEV/game over this sample I'm going to be pretty dissapointed.



First day back, constantly 2 tables for first half 3 tables for second half, will stick with 3 because I don't want to have to play 10 hours a day to get my volume in and I feel like I play almost as well.

My study has helped my 3H game a lot (I was winning ~5cEV/game 3H which is horrendous). I'm getting the hang of playing against fish again, it was never my strong suit and since battling 30s I almost completely forgot how, so I'm confident that by the end of November (at the latest) I'll have a winrate I'm proud of instead of one I'm tempted to lie about :b

I'M BACK BABY

(lol sample size)

Sadly played about half as much as I'd like. Had to stop playing a couple hours ago because I was zoning out from exhaustion. I only managed to sleep three or so hours last night and it took its toll pretty quickly. Tomorrow I'll aim for 1-2k VPPs which is the pace I'd like to maintain at least 5 days a week. Very pleased with my play and obviously ran very well today. gogo 50+ cEV!

Month over. About half as much volume as I'd like. Mainly because I 1-2 tabled for a week, had like 10 days off and cut a lot of days short because of poor sleep or tilt. Pretty hard month at points, had the biggest downswing of my life again (it's probably going to happen every month for a while lol). I used it as fuel to study and so far over a meaningless sample I'm seeing the rewards. Still had a decently profitable month considering the low volume and especially considering the bad cEV for most of the month. Something definitely clicked towards the end though I doubt I can sustain 70+ cEV/game at 30s.

This month the goal is 3k games and at least 50cEV/game playing three tables. With SpinWiz being banned I'm not sure how the games will be affected but I don't think this is unachievable.

I'll be taking 3-4 days off to go and play (and win!) GP Sydney from October 9th-11th. For those of you who don't know a GP is a ~1000 player Magic: The Gathering tournament. The strength of the field is probably comparable to a 1k WSOP event though obviously the stakes are much lower, first place gets $4k. If by some miracle anyone reading this is also going hit me up and say hi!

At 29009 VPPs which means I need to plat a bit under 9k 30s to hit Supernova, which is very important to me. Should be easy if I start playing 4 tables or move to 60s by December, otherwise I'll just need to actually hit my volume goals every week :O

GL everyone!

Gross start to month. Trying not to look at EV but feel like I've been getting into so many setups (and in numerous cases calling when I know I'm beat because 'they can't always have it'), but glad to see I'm at -2 cEV instead of the -60 it feels like. So far doesn't affect me much day to day and I'm running way above EV in HU Hypers so not really complaining, but trying not to post exclusively the good graphs :b

It's way too hot now that it's October, 3 days in a row its been 35c+ (~100f) degrees and its apparently the start of a heat wave that won't end until February. This mean I'm going to bed later because my house doesn't have air conditioning and is designed to keep cool downstairs by letting the heat rise to upstairs, where it stays. On the upside, this means I'm awake more good hours to battle the cartel while still playing a lot of spins during the day. Hoping to get another 800 or so HU matches in by the end of the month.

I need to remember that I'm still very much in the hardcore learning phase of my career. I should be far less focused on my income and more focused on improving. I should be studying a lot more than I am. Short term goals are to study a minimum of 10 hours a week (should be closer to 20) and play at least 3k games across both formats this month. Longish term goals are Supernova and 60s by end of the year.
