Nothing, my gamestyle slightly improved every month, but nothing drastic
I did challenge in my blog to play 10K games a month and completed it at Spin and Go 30$, earned a lot of EV and sidebet $
Took a month break and made a new
And was going to do 12.5K games a month and got a freeze on 8900 games
In my blog there is a live video how I play 10 tables for Stars investigation, my volume 80-90 games per hour, turns out I had to play only 140 hours
My challenges inspire a lot of people and at the same time it inspires me to continue
And also I had a penalty 4444$ if I don't play this distance + sidebets (more than 10K$)
Anyway, i'm not a huge spin and go crusher and hold on with winrate at 35-38 chipev at 60-100$ and 45-48 chipev at 30$
Also they ask me record a live video, this is only 2 emails i get and now what i can just wait and hope
All my answers you can read in my blog
This freeze really scared a lot of russian/ukraine and belarus players, because everyone know me, someone know personally, because i'm pretty often travel on live series like EPT/PSC
Entire mail while freeze me

Hello Dmitriy,
We require a video recording of your next playing session. This recording has a few mandatory requirements:
- This must be done during your next session, and you have 10 days to complete this task.
- At the beginning of the recording, we must be able to clearly see your face in order to confirm your identity.
- Before starting to play, you must rotate your camera 360 degrees to show us all of your surroundings.
- You must start your playing session from an empty computer desktop, whereby you initiate our client and log into your account.
- After logging in, you must play a regular session of yours.
- Your playing session at the tables must be for a minimum of 70 active minutes.
- The recording must be from over your shoulder such that your head and hands are visible at all times. Please make sure that the lighting in the room is adequate for this to be possible.
- Audio must be included in the recording.
- During your play at the tables, the recording must be of sufficient quality to see and track the activities that are taking place on your desktop. In addition, the recording must capture your surrounding environment including your monitor, keyboard and mouse.
- You must minimise the amount of individual video files. Longer, continual recordings are preferred.
It is important that your playing session is conducted in the same manner as one of your typical sessions as your tendencies will be contrasted with your regular play.
You must supply the resulting recording to us via email. In the likely event the files exceed attachment limits, please utilise file sharing services such as Dropbox, Google Drive or whichever service you prefer. We'll largely leave this option up to you.
Failure to follow these instructions or if the video is of subpar quality, will result in this task needing to be repeated.
Regards,
Andrew
