Hi 2p2,

I am sorry that I did not post updates in the last few days, I was really, I mean really psychically down. Yesterday I was playing just 300 games and try to play less tables, but the result is obviously the same (for me it really doesnt matter if I play 10 or 35 tables, I am just used to think quickly and make a non-changing decision quickly). This is the giraffe from 1.10.2011 to 5.10.2011:

I thought how the f is even possible to run this bad, so I compared $100+ hand histories from June when I was winning (almost in Charlie Sheen style lol) and hand histories from October when I was losing. I found out that (not mentioning that I was playing my B-game for the first 2-3 days) games are very reggish and regular players are just stealing from each other their equity. It wasnt rare to see even 10 of 10 players at one table being something regular-ish with solid stats like 11/9, 17/14 and so on. Obviously, on that tables the only one who is winning is the site.

See the Sharkscope leaderboard for proof, this is very interesting - there was larger total profit for a first 20 players in June than it is now.

I do not like to say that, but yeah, high stakes Fifty50 games are dead.

What about my propbet? Well, I decided just to grind $15-$60, keep my head up, play 24 000 games in October and make a profit. I understand that if I play more than 3100 games of $15 I lose my bet, but I am reconciled with that. There is a very small possibility that I will somehow run like god and crush highstakes again though, so I am not officially giving up on my propbet yet.

And even if I would give up and play more than 3100 games of $15, I will still keep you informed about this challenge to 24 000 games, I will keep the camera on, I will keep posting updates to my Twitter.

todays session

I have played about 700 games, feel good, played good, run a little hotter than usual. At the end of my session I occured a serious glitch, I am not sure if it was caused by my computer, HEM, TN or PokerStars. I am copypasting you e-mail which I wrote to PS support:

Anyway, I would like to play at least 1000 games tomorrow and start to get on the pace again.

GL OP.

Solid level headed adjustment IMO

kudos

good luck dude... hope your graphs turn around. keep the faith

Awesome vid, keep your head up sir

sick badluck OP

I wanted you to lose the prop but not 13k tho

I hope you at least get back to even

he's probably gonna lose from the looks of it. but when he finishes the 24k sng, he might break even with rakeback and will hit SNE pretty soon after.

Hi Phase, had the same bug as you did with tables not poping up. Its PokerStars software fault and it is wery annoying, they are working on it as they replied me. For the other regulars - we could help each other out, while this bug is alive and warn each other, because it can happen to anyone!
p.s. Gl @ your propbet, and yeah, if you are playing 50 tables at the peak - they all are pretty regish.

ahoj.

just to let you know, i had sitting out issues at the beginning of the year. I discovered what the issue was for me and now I avoid triggering it.

For me, basically I stack tables in one stack. I had got in habit of sometimes minimizing tables to watch all ins on other tables.

However when you minimize a table officially in windows it goes very small. What happens then is if you time out whilst you are minimised without realising when table ninja tries to click the put back button as the table is so small it cannot do so and you end up being sat out indeffinatly with a minimised table.

if you are doing that at all it might be the cause of your glitch.




my solution was to stop minimizing tables in game now if i want to view other tab les in play i use a script that alt tabs me back and forth between tables without actually minimizing them

gl with ur prop bet
shame i didnt bet on u
u might have made me rich

also I have a nice way to look though hand histories to see for evidence of sitting out if you want to get a better scope of the problem. pm me if u interested.

I think a good question to ask is if this is a Table Ninja bug or a Windows bug. If it's the former surely it will be fixed fairly soon but if its the latter don't count on it until Windows 2013 is released

Its not tn bug as such. it is a property of windows that is not being taken into account for. and also a glitch in pokerstars that doesnt bring a sitting out minimized table to for ground for further action

Any more derailaments like that and I'll give someone a vacation. Consider yourselves warned Crag & Jazz.

And sometimes people need to hear to obv to actually DO the obv. BTW, I doubt that you actually had a look at those games, you must be way too busy to think of yourself as a smart guy. But then again, why should I discuss this with somebody who is likely half my age? Waste of time.

To all others, could we please get back to topic? I am not interested in flame wars or other ego related problems. I am only interested in Phase's challenge.
As I have followed the original Boku87 challenge as well this one really is interesting for me.

Best,
CMB

Cant believe i only just found this thread. Would have put up at least 5k on this. Guess its lucky for u i didnt .

This is truly a sick propbet man and i wish u the best of luck with the remainder of it.

And i dont think high stakes F50s are dead as u say, but they are def alot tougher than they use to be.

In regards to the sitting out/ games not popping up thing, did those games still get recorded in HEM for u? I had a session about 2 days ago that i though i ran ok in then checked HEM and i was down a motza. Thought nothing of it at the time but hearing that now makes me worried this maybe happened to me. I will def let u or any other regs know if they are sitting out anywhere and hopefully will receive the same kindness in return.

Yes I defo think that the regs need to let each other know about sit outs.

GL with the prop bet.

Ahoj,

thx for your offer, but I am not giving anybody my HHs for obvious reasons

btw I dont minimize tables, ever... and when I had those 4 tables left, I checked out if I didnt accidentaly minimize something and I didnt

Hi wayne,

I am unfortunatly unsure if that games record to HEM or not. I will obviously warn you too if this glitch occure to you.
Talking about high stakes F50 - I had good session yesterday, but it was mostly because it was friday I guess...
Thanks and good luck to you as well,

Anyway - here is a quick update from yesterdays session.

I have played almost for a daily pace and started to crushing highstakes again because of less reggish tables at weekend.

Nice update, keep it going

you misunderstood i dont need you hand histories. I just have a way that you can mass search through your hand histories to check the instances that you were sitting out using a unix search string.

this code searches through your hand histories stored in HEM database and looks for the term sitting out with your user name then stores each instance in a text file for a review. you can see each tournament that you were sitting out in. Most instances will be sitt back in by table ninja. In my case when i was minimised i could also see each tournament that i sat out and then basically my whole stack would blind out. I found I had over 200 tours where I had just be sitting out almost whole tours over a couple month period.
Alas that was too much for stars to consider to compensate

hodne stesti with your challenge

Its not the "reggish" tables that cause your losses. Don't sugar coat it bro. Just play better and ship the bitch.

I think it's more local upswing than less reggish tables.
Good cards and successful pushes.
I compare with my results.

wow that would be great, can you upload that script somewhere? thx very much for that.

will do haha

Same thing here. Very annoying. +1 for warning each other

I have some issues with importing tournaments, but today I am according to HEM about +$7.5k, rakeback included. It feels good
