Some of the best grinder don't leave the computer. They even pee in bottle and play with bunch of pee bottle at there feet.

lol sponsered pro leatherass once produced a math formula on how much leaving the pc to piss would cost him in hourly rate

I'm one of the players currently on the top of the leaderboard this week.

@ 25000 points, I've played about 39000 hands (24000 omaha), from .25/.5 up to 1/2.

I usually 12 table but my screen can fit 15. I've gone up to 20 before but then I start playing pretty losing poker.

I've played about 15 hrs/day. That leaves 9 hours for sleep/eating. Luckily this week, I'm home for the holidays so my mom cooks for me while I grind .

I'm probably dropping out of the race though, don't think I can win and its not worth the extra effort to try so hard and only come in 2nd.

And no, I don't pee in a bottle. Its a cash game. Just get up and leave whenever you need a break.

Fraz , I do not believe that you don't pee in a bottle. Peeing in a bottle is pretty standard practice sir. 15 hours a day is an extreme grind , Madrenche must be playing 20 hours a day , that is insane .....nice payout for first though. January I'm going to just concentrate on making the top 20 and I will be satisfied.

Killing yourself to get first or second in the rake race is brutal , especially when im pretty certain some of the top guys are playing in at least 2 man teams and splitting the profit.

Madrenoche actually puts in less hours than me (I'd say ~ 10hrs/day). He just plays way more tables and plays a looser style than me which allows him to see more flops have a higher rake contribution. I'm pretty new at omaha so I can't get up to that many tables as I'm just trying to learn the game by putting in volume.

I actually don't really think the top players are teams. They all log off around bed time and take noticeable breaks around meal hours.

"$80,000 Added! Cash Grinders Gear Up!"


This applies to less than 5% of your players. As that's about how many 30-40 multi-table players you have on the site that actually have a chance at winning any Beast prize money. Why don't you take that $80,000 and put it into more multi-table tournaments every week? Or, don't, and just keep running and promoting a special that only applies to a small percentage of your player pool.

Maybe, a few dozen players care about the Beast. The rest don't give a shiit.

Atleast they can't lag the thing out and refund their money if the player caughts it.

+1 for getting a promo for more recreational players. The grinders gonna grind anyway, the fish on the other hand....

Because the 5% of the players probably make 50% of the rake

Why wouldn't a site want their top 30-50mgr players battle and produce them more rake?
That 80k is gonna be made up , it's a nice bonus for the top 20, and doesn't really cost the site that much more with added mgr the players will produce.

I'm sure the player pool will explode.

the player pool may not explode but the beast sure has. 25k was winning 2months ago now these guys hitting 40k. talk about some serious rake making.

and the argument this doesnt help the low volume players is not exactly correct. the low volume regs that concentrate on more detail are definitely making a lot of money vs the players extreme mass tabling and not paying good attention. they wouldnt make that extra money if ppl werent goin for beast

That is very very true. I spent two weeks last month just looking for mass tablers who were sitting by themselves waiting for players to join...they would give you every single pot when playing heads up. They don't have time to play back at you.

how much rake is 10k pts

you earn 1 point for every 2 cent you contribute to the beast

Wtf , Repats already has 15k pts , talk about no life

Pretty unreal. I've put in a good amount of hours and cannot understand how you can get to 15k.

if no life meant making thousands then sign me up

because omahaha

play every single .5-1+ omaha?

18,700* points
Took the last 2 months off poker, so it feels good to be grinding again

Play every single 100-1000 PLO table.

Gonna keep grinding a lot and deter others from trying to catch me. I should easily be able to win every week this month - cleared my schedule for the most part.

lol nice , you animal , you. How many piss bottles do you currently have at your feet? This is a nice psych out post for the other grinders. I won't be bothering for 1st this month ...my goal is top 15.

piss bottles are old school, its all about the catheters.

How you running?

On what planet do you live in to call the behavior of gambling "making money?"

No piss bottle needed.

Sit Out Next hand > All tables. Cash games ftw

Ran horrible for the first couple days, but ran super hot two (three?) nights ago. The days kind of run together when you grind this much lol. Still below expectation for the year, but it's only a few days in. Also it's plo, swings and variance are to be expected.

Btw, mad props to madrenoche for challenging me on the leaderboard. Not only that, but he is one of the few regs that will play me HU and table start. Cheers Mr. Noche.
