BOOM, solid Sunday graph

congrats zima thats awesome

Well, when FTP went down we paused everything and had all the euros send the money back. so, the only money thats really "locked" in horses accounts are the US ones. its tough to say how much we actually have locked on ftp atm. think it would be between like 60-80. We usually kept more money on stars then FTP.

Depends on a lot of things. would have to play all of the new FTP stuff by ear. most likely, yes

Eh, i pay taxes on my share, and the horses pay taxes on theirs. i use Russ Fox (lot of poker guys use him). he does a great job and is relatively cheap.

ty for all the well wishes after yesterday.

some good chat from the skype group pre sunday grind time.

gooooooooooooooo


Dave actually did send that to me right before i went to sleep. i bet people say stuff to me like that every sunday, but its a lot cooler this monday.

So, whenever I won a significant amount/made a big FT it was always more of a kind of sense of relief than pure happiness (I guess if i ever won smth huge like the mill it would be diff). Do you get that same feeling? Moreover, how do you think your feelings compare to the actual horse after a horse wins something big?

It was a great feeling having a horse win a mtt for that much money. there are so many emotions that went through my head as he won it/after he won it. of course there is just pure happiness because i just won a decent amount of money. but, i after like 10 mins i really just thought back about the grind to get to that point. starting low and building stuff up. so many close calls in so many big mtts that other horses had. i suppose i was just like any other actual poker player when that big score finally comes through. just so much work went into everything, and something finally went 100% right.


in other words

Hi Zima,

Congrats on the big score!

I have two questions from a staking perspective:
1) How do you deal with someone in MU who you think is playing extra reckless to hit a big score to get out of MU?

2) How important do you feel being emotionally mature is to being successful at poker? Have you signed guys who later turned out to be emotional rollercoasters?

Zima,

Congrats on picking a good horse. I saw you mentioned you had 20k in your two accounts and 20k in horses accounts before you considered staking for $12 - 180's. How many people were you planning on moving into these 180's that you felt a 40k roll would do the trick? How many guys did you end up putting in the 180's at that point?

tbh, it was such a long time ago i cant really remember the exact numbers. so unsure if the real roll was 40k, but sure it was something very "safe".


at the time, we just kinda eased people into those games. we just kept adding more and more guys, we didnt just drop like 20 guys into those games right away.

nice bink. :-)

Nat Arem
lol
sigh.

Gonna just update my "workouts" every week on monday. I am still on schedule this week and eating is going very well. think one update a week for non-poker stuff is prolly best for this thread.



edit: lol. didnt even get wat nat meant when he said that. i am doing both of those things.

was gonna not post more than 1 graph a week, but a horse insisted i post a graph from today (that horse was apart of it)


things seem to be going well right now. hope to ride the heater for a few more weeks.





pretty nice graph for a wednesday

Life's easy when you stake beasts =]=] nice going Zims!!!!

no overall january graph? Would be nice to see.

obv far and away our best month ever. hopefully we can put together a month 20% that good in Feb

so sick, gratz. now thats living da life.

how bad does that hot pink guy right down the bottom of the graph feel? everyone beasting it and he's down 25k. sick graph anyway Zima, hope you continue to heater throughout 2012.

Hire a Personal trainer imo. Was the best thing I did regards to health.

They are reasonably priced and what you gain from it more then makes up for the cost.

Great thread zima, good read so far.

This is meaningless, just check pm, keep up the good workouts!

yeah, need to find one in Cabo at some point

ty

yes, though. ha ha

this thread is the nuts, nice bink too.

That is, until they start making you do ******ed tricep extension super sets while standing on a bosu ball.

Be very careful about personal trainers. There are good ones but the industry is overwhelmingly made up of idiots who spew tons of terrible broscience.

Zima, how many of your guys are signed for X number of games or X period that is set, and how many of them lose over that timeframe?
