Hi.

I deposited about $60 at partypoker, to do all the challenges. And I read about their "Summer of Grind", and will take on the challenge.

I used to play alot of poker 10-12 years ago, but when USA got baned, it was not fun anymore

Tomorrow I will be done with the last challenge, and will focus 100% on SoG. I dont know what challenge I will take on, but I have made an list, that I will uppdate every day.

I have no ide how many hands I can play per houre on fast forward tabels, those I have played now have been to clear the challenges, and DoN sng to clear the bonus.

But let´s set the goal at 100K hands and 400 SNG, for a total bonus of $700

Will try to play every day after I done with my work, at least 4-5 houres.

The BR is about $100 right now.

I tried the 250k challenge was only able to hit 100k hands in about 11/12 days and couldn't cash out any faster than I did.
Party pokers challenge destroys the zoom pools turns every one in to nit regs my self included because it's +EV to fast fold every thing so every one does.
Just a heads up how bad the games run

Good luck on the grind tho
Dont be surprised if you end up hating the site by the end of it.
Me and my friends did lol

This is first time I play zoom and I love it! I reallt think its fun, and the players are so bad and weak, nothing have changen in these 8 years I have had a pokerbreak. But I play NL10, so thats pretty low

Thanks, I hope I can make 100K in 18 days, I play around 700 hands when 2-tabel, so it´s gonna be tight.

You may want to read the fine print of the sng challenge. I believe only games with a buyin of $10 or higher count and with a $100 br your chance of going bust is pretty high.

Uppdate 7/26:

Here are the stats (all the hands don´t count for the mission since I forgot to start it when I played them):



I play way to tight, but since I haven´t played in 8 years, it feels better.

I made many misstakes, and also lost 3 flips in a row, so I also start to tilt a little. But players are weak, and they have no clue how to play after the flop, so I win more on my read line than blue.

I will star to browse the forum and read some HH, mabey it will refreash my memorie.

I play 2 tabels, but will try to step it up soon =)

BR is about $250 now, and will get bonus tomorrow, so it will be $300. Perfect, 30 BI for NL10

Yes, I know, but I take a chance. Only been playing $10 tho, and the $100 is not my whole BR, it´s only what I deposit to get the bonus, so I can deposite more if I need.

The BR is at $300 now, so let´s hope I don´t need to do that.

lol funny reading this because I 100% agree. The player pool is horrific, worst I have ever played. Just a bunch of nit regs playing the nuts, and of course 50bb and less short stacks who ALWAYS have the nuts. I have not beaten one in weeks, they win no matter what i Have. I am running bad and just getting crushed there, hard to play against nits who play not to lose.

Zoom is like 2009 poker compared this pool.

Dam it!

something is wrong with party, I can´t se my missions, och play. After a hand, i wait like 10-20 sek for the next one :/

I started to play 4 tabels and get a much more hands, so now I feel confident that I will make it!

If someone can show a profit in this player pool over 100k hands ill bow down to them. Never seen anything like what ive seen so far during this challenge. I don't think the pool is beatable. Can't wait to cash out of this dog **** site. The short stacks literally have aces or kings or sets every time they get in a hand, its mind blowing, and everyone else is playing the nuts or folding flops.

@mirage01
just finished 250k hands at 10nl ff...no comment for the pool I've never seen something like that...played 15k hands everyday for the last 5 days just to cashout and gtfo from that madhouse...was so tilted and mentaly drained last week i almost gave up.ended -330$ but cashed out around 2k$ from promo's and rb so gg.
Also went through database and didn't find any winning player in the pool(had a bunch of guys with 10k hand samples).
gl to both of you guys

Congrats on the grind. yes its amazing.I think the best strategy was to just forget playing poker, and play SS so you lose the minimum and just folding. I still think that player pool is full of bots because I have never seen so much strange and aggressive play on 10nl like that. Villains triple barreling stacks off often with air, check raising often, in 3bet pots on dry boards, lots of strange stuff.

Sometimes the bots misfire.

I will tr to be the first then! I have been tilting a little unfortunately, since they have the nuts every hand, so now im arount BE.

haha Good to know that you can get that kind of volume, I get arount 5-7K hands per day. Will pause today I thing, and play aloat next month, so that I can get maximun bonus.

Will take a break today and continue tomorrow so that I can use the full bonus.

First bonus is done!

Anyone know how often they have bonusrace like this? Or where to go after im done with this one?

Fastforward is really fun, and I get a crazy volume!

Doing the same promo at 10nl so we've most likely played together... What's your screen name (if that's cool to ask?) Agree that the games are (unsurprisingly) mega nit fests and the number of shortstackers is brutal but free money is free money and will hopefully pick up in a couple of weeks when SoG finishes.

Fwiw I'm about 35k hands into the challenge and played almost all of those in July. I'm down at the moment but ran like 10 or 11 buy ins below all in ev which was positive. Games are definitely beatable and if you factor in the SoG and any deposit bonuses then while you won't be balling by any means you can make some pretty easy profits.

Anyway in and GL! Just not against me

Riodebrasil is my name. But I suck hehe. Haven´t played poker for 8 years, so still learning. I think im down 5 BI, but I have cashed out my deposit and have about $300 left, (and $450 i SoG bonus + one $100 deposite bonus). Even some SNG bonuses, so I will have about 1K in BR when im done.

But where will we go when we are donw with this? Any good pokersite with nice RB that have fast poker?

GL to you to, against everyone but me =)
