Non trolling aside, what's the highest stakes you've played? Did you take a break for awhile seems like not many mtts played in 2018?
You gunna grind scoop or are the slow structures a disaster for degen tendencies?
ty for thread hopefully no more nits ITT
I've been busto lately. Surprisingly, even 1k/day doesn't get you that far in Central London after rent, taxes, booze (a lot), smokes, etc. etc. etc.
I set my degen limits on Stars so I can only play 55 MTTs max, but I obv still try to satty into others, so I end up playing in a bunch of 109s+, using the 2x shootout hyper sats (which I am def -EV in).
I sattied into the 5k WCOOP once a couple of years back, and busted JJ < AK in what I still think should have been a righteous hold. Apart from that, I've played a few Thursday Thrills (actually think I might be up on those) and a couple of Super Tuesdays, but I don't do that any more. My best win is ~35k in the bigger 109, when it was still around, a couple of years ago.
Totally agree with your (non-)trolling sentiments, btw! Let's f/en go. No, slow structures are not that bad, I got 25th in the 2-day Sunday Warmup SE of the WCOOP, so I guess I can do stuff.
