i Think mustafa is already SNE or close to it playing only NLO8. but will be couple more

This has been my plan for my last 3 laptops, but it didn't last long.

Bro, this be an ill reply, thank you.

Did you start later in the year?

I think I'm giving up, there just aren't enough hypers running in off peak times to get the points I need. I got 3k VPP yesterday and 5k the day before.

Oh well, next year. Good luck to the rest of you.

Are new Team Online Pros still being added?

Hello Everyone, Everything went very fast yesterday was reading this forum and was a pure inspiration from what i was reading...I am playing for Living since about a year playing only Heads up and live tournament made about 125k profit total but i had a few real life issue and stupid mistake i made online and my bankroll dropped very low and this last month thing are going no where, And yesterday i just decide that im transfering my roll from tilt to stars which ive done today and gonna aim for SNE starting grinding in 2 week even if i know it start 1st january i have a very big dedication...Motivation and good emotional control...I am not here to troll or anything i would just like some advice from a SNE...Il be playing 24 table 6max 1/2 2/4 3/6 ( start 1/2 ) Obv sadly gonna start by S/S...Any advice on how to deal with this or hour it gonna take at this stakes ect...I have a good setup 32inch tv 22inch monitor health great...Just wanted to post here to thanks you all for Inspiring me in this thread, I am a very solid HU player il post my last 2 and half month graph...My goal is to be SNE a year build a roll to play high stakes HU after like 5/10 reg+

well the ton of RB from a minimal risk really helps wash away the initial feelings of dirtiness

i am unclear as to whether you are earning SNE this year or next but am assuming this year, if next ignore 10.38 hours a day and the prop bet.

starting from 0 VPPs and assuming (and these will vary person to person):
.5 vpp per hand
75 hands an hour per table
24 tables
900 VPPs an hour
~1111.1 hours
~10.38 hours a day, every day
add all that up and you have your work cut out for you.

GL and i am sure you could get some prop bet action for this.

yeah wcoop sux @ cg tables :S

Hehe i appreciated all said above Not doing it this year tough starting next year and wanna try do it in 6month next year would be my goal...But for this year im gonna start adapt 12-16-20-24 table slowly to be a good lawl S/s ;pppp to get mentaly prepare and ready for the sick grind in 2011 but from what you are saying 10hour a day from now on till the end of the year which mean for next year if i just do it 5-6hour a day i can do it in basicly 6-7month which sound pretty easy...Thanks for the calculation btw

546,966 down. ran well enough to win in some games i probably should have avoided. going to do my best to keep a 6k vpp/day pace so i can take holidays off.

i would not go too far with ur plans.

i have no clue how big ur 6max experience is, but there are very few people who can play 20++ tables with a profit especially on stakes NL400++ and especially when they have to put in massive volume...

SNE and masstabling is a completely other things then playing 4 tables HU...

I wish u best of luck and I guess u will see tis year pretty fast if you can make it next year...

6max experience small simple tough 100k hand 4bb/100 1/2 100bb, I know 20+tbl is something very hard with profit at high stakes i know im a solid player il do my best and work very hard on my game if it does not work well...Just trying to find the right Setup right now to setup my 24 table got a 32inch TV not sure what to do tile or stack gonna figure that next few day

Thanks alot btw hehe :P

In general a lot of people concentrate on the long term rakeback stuff before they figure out the short term (and immensely more important) goals of simply playing well and beating the game before RB.

Your graph looks dead sexy - if you keep playing like that, just play as much as you can without burning out, keeping balance in your life, and the rake level you make will be a bonus. 10.88 hours a day for 365 days is simply impossible - even if you maintain it for a year (meaning every day you get sick adds five days of 13 hrs/day instead of your normal 10.88), you'll hate poker so much and have such incredible carpal tunnel that you'll have damaged yourself far beyond what the reward is.

That being said, if you do attempt it, best of luck to you. Get some tests in this year so you can see if you can keep the pace up. Logging something like your VPP/day in a spreadsheet helps:

VPP Tracking: VPP Start: VPP End: VPP Earned: FPP:
9/9/2010 88,300 95,843 7,543 26,400.50
9/10/2010 95,843 102,867 7,024 24,584.00
9/11/2010 102,867 106,542 3,675 12,862.50
9/12/2010 106,542 118,341 11,799 41,296.50
9/13/2010 118,341 121,485 3,144 11,004.00
9/14/2010 121,485 127,900 6,415 22,452.50
9/15/2010 127,900 134,513 6,613 23,145.50

(obviously I'm not going to make it this year, but I am confident my pace looks good for next year!)

Thanks Alot appreciate everything you said Yea 10hour a day whole year is way to much Wanna basicly play 6day a week get 1 day off a week kinda keep having a life hehe and the rest 6day just play as much volume as i can...I love your idea of Spreadsheet will try that ;p and yea im sure you can also definally do it next year +40k vpp in like a week pretty sick :P Good Luck to you sir for next year Also Il be around in this forum from now on well prolly meet again hehe

The 10.38 hours/day would be for the rest of this year, not the entire next year.

Ah. 4 months might be possible but would still be a strain.

back to the Gunnar discussion, there are 4 or 5 to choose from, which ones did you guys go with? do the frames fit well with headphones?

I have the catalyst weezer gunnars. They are good size, light, and comfortable. First, I ordered the metropole style because they were one of the cheapest styles. They were very small and not comfortable.

if you could beat the games the games fullstacking, why SS?

gunnars: black anime

simple, nerdy, dark...like my thought process


am i correct to assume that you have to lose the pot for reimbursement in a collusion case?

Im always looking on ways to add tables...I'm currently playing 12-13 tile with some overlap. I am use to tiling and a little cascading and have never tried stacking.....how tough have people found going from tiling to stacking?? Just wanted to see what other peoples experiences are.

ive recently been adding tables in stacks of my 12 tile set up. 1 or 2 is fine after that i hate it and time down. in NL i tried 24 tabling 1 cent 2 cent and did a lot of timing down/out. im sure part of that was NL rust but it is difficult.

i switched to stacking about 1 year ago and never looked back...

when u got used to it I'm convinced it is the most effective and best way to massgrind (FR NL)

not sure for 6max bc there are stuff like table dynamics and so on but I think zep plays 24 6max stacked so it seem to be working as well...

Stack ftw!
