Well, a couple more questions then

Do you coach 6max ?
How much do you take for coaching ?
Do you even still coach and take in new students ?

Was just thinking of mixing them in now and again.
Cheers.

I pretty much only 6max but have been mixing in some 9mans lately.

Did you push through the limits pretty fast or did it take you a fair while?

At what point did you realize you were going to make a lot of money from poker?

I won't erase this, as this is his well, but if you have a question about a private pay service, typically it should occur in the coaching advice forum or via PM/off forum. This should be easy to comply with, hopefully. Thanks.

what is your opinion on super turbos?
how many games per hour did/do you have playing them?
how many did/do you play at a time?
do you tile, stack or cascade?

Favorite Pharcyde Song?
UTG range 1st hand of a sng full of randoms and a few straight forward regs you play with.

One true (and interesting) story from when you were 16 years old. Non-poker related obv......

1. Who do you think braminc's all time favorite student is?
2. Do you ever win fantasy football without megaluckboxing?

Do you expect SNGs to dry up?

Do you plan to play SNGs for the next 20 years?

what are your goals in poker?

wait so no more faar @ 75s? **** a well im throwing a party!

Do you play MTTs?

if you do
Have you been succesful in mtts?
Do you enjoy them more than STTs?

hey faarcyde,

Thanks for doing this!

In your opinion, what are the biggest differences between the profitable and the breakeven players? If you had to pick, what's the one thing in STTs that you think most people do wrong?

Hello Faarcyde,

Why didn't you answer my PM where I wished to be coached by you?
Do you sometimes play tired?

Is it possible to table select at the 119s and still get in volume?

they don't seem to be running very often imo

We played quite a few super turbos at the 160s together (screenname - arjun1321).

1. What was your longest breakeven stretch at the 160s?
2. What was your largest downswing at the 160s?
3. Your thoughts (if any) on me, now that you have quit them are welcome
4. What do you think is the best ROI attainable at them? My guess was somewhere between 1-2%

lol, take a guess xD

Well seems to be malfunctioning..

Good morning STTF!

I played a ton of micros but moved up pretty quick to the 24s once I stopped cashing out all the time. Then I met Braminc and we did a coaching/staking deal where I moved up to the 119s in about six months. I'm on my own now playing the 119s.

Well, again when I met Braminc and saw his graph I got a fairly large erection and knew I was onto something. I ran extremely hot our first month together and won about 8k at the 36s which is pretty sick. At the time it felt like so much money because I could pay off all my debt, buy a plasma TV and take a vacation!

Ketelsen, like AMT said please PM me if you have any questions.

How many hours straight can you play before the wrist/eyes/brain start going?

Do you feel the games will get easier, harder, or stay the same over the next 12 months? How have they progressed in the past 12 months would you say?

Thanks!

I am officially off the super turbo bandwagon. The regulars have no consideration for game selection which makes for an awful game environment. That being said, I still did very well in them and think a 3-5 percent ROI is very manageable if you game select a bit. They were just taking a lot of fun out of the grind for me because they are very stressful and obviously variance laden as well. I never really figured out how many games per hour but I could play about a 100 games a day of regular turbos and supers in about 3.5 hours. Usually about 10-12 tables tiled. You stack/cascade people are crazy!

Would have to go with "Soul Flower" or "Drop."

99+, AQo+, limp small pairs and AJs unless 2 or more regs are to my left

I'll probably delete this later for purposes of future employment, but here we go. I used to be really into recreational drugs and one night my friend and I went down to his brother's house (also a good buddy of mine) to hang out. We'll call my friend Joe and his brother Charles. So we get down to his place which is near the edge of Detroit in a fairly sketch area but nothing too crazy. Charles mentions how he has a bunch of mescaline which none of us had ever done before and I really had no idea how it was supposed to affect me. Needless to say we took it and 20 minutes later we were pretty bummed because nothing was really happening. And then like a split second later everyone just starts laughing like I have never seen before. We are laughing at absolutely nothing for about two hours straight. In the middle of this we decide to go to a park down the street to chill. It is prob 3 in the morning at this point. Keep in mind I am 16 years old at this moment in time. So we are playing on the jungle gym still laughing our ass off when a police vehicle flys onto the park grass like he was doing a drug bust in The Wire. I was convinced this was going to be the end of my youth as I would surely be put in a juvenile facility for having a large amount of tree on me. Charles was scared ****less because he had about a pound of weed, a few grams of blow and paraphanelia up the ass at his house a few doors down. We are still on a full blown mescaline trip. The cop asks us what we are doing and I think I muttered "hanging out" or something similar. He says the park is closed and that someone called claiming we were looking into people's car windows. He wants to run our IDs. He asks me why the hell am I near the 8 mile border in Detroit when I live about thirty minutes away in a different suburb when I am 16 years old. He stares us down for about five minutes and we go back to the house to puke and smoke a few bowls to calm down. I don't do drugs anymore!

Well, we'll see when he is done with you...good luck trying to break my profit barrier

And don't be bitter because Rashard Mendenhall pooped on yo face this week. I would have won either way with Kevin Smith because Adrian Peterson didn't do anything for you. I will say I have had above average luck so far this season however.

No. People have been saying that since I started playing them and everyone I know and all my friends are still making a lot of money at them. Unless something happens with legislation that forces Full Tilt or Stars to shut down I don't see it.

No I only plan on playing a couple more years until I can save up to buy a house and put a ton away for savings and kid's college funds before I get a degree in nursing or my PHD in history and become an academic, not sure yet. It will be hard to give up the lifestyle though, I get to do whatever I want when I want and it pays well.

I don't really have any goals. I would like to be a winner at 100/200 mixed games one day. I wouldn't mind winning the Sharkscope leaderboard this year or next but I never think about it really.

Yeah I thought some people would appreciate that. Have fun!

No I hate MTTs. You can check my OPR but I think I have like two cashes in the 40 I have played lifetime. I don't understand how anyone would subject themselves to playing them. I get so bored so quickly and just punt my stack immediately. I actually have a note taped to my computer that reads "Do not play MTTs"

Push too much and call too little. Breakeven players never adjust to anyone, they have the same ranges vs anyone for pushing/calling

Retam, I get a lot of PMs and it was most likely just an honest mistake. If you would send one again I'll be happy to get in touch with you.

No, I never play tired. I wake up in the morning to play and then some in the afternoon with a very set schedule so I am always alert and in tune with the game flow

hey,

do you did any non poker related thing before you started playing what is you think helped you a lot to became a successful poker player? like videogames, sports, etc...

I am not super vigilant about it except at six max, but if I see a game where 3-4 winning players are the first ones regged I will either go find a better $60 or just wait a while and things usually clear up. If you play during peak hours they run fine, in the morning when I play it is a bit more difficult.

I have only played like 5 $169s in my life, I always just played $75s.
I never really had any breakeven streaks actually...I always did pretty well until recently when I lost about 6k in them last month. I remember you as a solid player but honestly it is hard to tell a lot of the regulars apart because the game is so basic. Like I said before I think 3-5 is profitable although I believe I ended up with 6 percent after 5k games.

I usually play in two hour blocks. I would estimate they will stay the same unless something drastic happens legislation wise. It is hard for me to guage how the games have progressed since I have moved up so quickly. I guess the easy answer is they definitely haven't gotten any easier but I am not sure they have gotten any more difficult. It is kind of like the information is out there and the people who want to find it have found it and it has sort of reached a balanced point.

Thought I would go to sleep and wait for a few replies to get started up Going to play for a couple hours, will answer more questions when I finish up.
