It would be interesting to receive a bj from jessica alba, and not to see some gheymicronanovirginnlhnotdead graph. **** you and 2014.

dota 1 screen name?

No 2014 graph? Confirmed fish on a heater.

Seriously though, that's sick, OP. Do you play donkaments as well?

bump

Alright so more than 3 years later i guess its time for an update. Despite some mindless speculation from some doofus above 2014(and 2015) went well although the ceiling was definitely starting to come down at that point.

Not sure where the images in my OP went so i'll put these old screenshots here.



2008-2013





The first two million hands are mostly on partypoker with some ftp and stars added towards the end from 2008-2011. The last million are from 2012 and 2013 where i added all the major sites and dropped 2/4 and 3/6.

While I just missed the boat on the famous "partypoker days" things were still great, you could jump on and have as many tables as you wanted, rakeback probably averaged about 50% across the sites(and was calculated in a way that gave you a higher effective rakeback), all the sites had high stakes with plenty of fish flapping about.



2014/2015.












Action was definitely slowing down, especially in 2015. When the games ran they were still good but plenty of times I found myself 2 tabling across 7 sites so would just quit for the day. That coupled with wasting time/holidays meant I played far less than I should have. Played/studied more MTTs, ran good in some nice spots, had fun.

So obviously I wasn't feeling too optimistic about poker going into 2016 but wasn't ready to be so royally screwed across most of the sites including but not limited to:
- 888 reducing rakeback from ~30% to <5%, then increasing rake cap from $4-5 from 2/4 to 25/50. Along with a HU rake hike and pushfold rake being quadrupled.
- Ipoker silently increasing the cap to 4 euros and removing the smaller rake cap for 3-4 handed play.
- Amaya. I could say a lot here but it's all been said elsewhere by people far more eloquent than me. Suffice to say I am not happy. And Mr. “exciting changes 2016” Negreanu is hinting it will get worse in 2017.




So in 2016 I semi retired from online cash. Went and played some live cash in Macau(not my favourite place in the world, and public cash games are somewhere between bad and ok and the atmosphere is terrible, stick to the MTTs), played some live MTTs which went well but not amazingly so(these seem to be getting better, but idk how much you're really making post travel expenses unless you're chucking in big chunks of cash into the high rollers), did a lot of tournament off the table work and played some SCOOP/WCOOP/Sundays(some success but still searching for the big bink) traveled for about 3 months() and played too much Dota().


As far as 2017 onward goes I'm still not sure of my plans. Australia may very well ban online poker and I was leaning towards not relocating if that happened, but I came home mid December and started playing again and games have been pretty great. Not sure if its due to the holiday season or the recreational players deposits lasting longer due to all these great Amaya changes - regardless its made me feel like playing again. I'm probably losing a little bit to the good 10/20+ regs(and probably only winning 1-2bb/100 from the best aussie regs) right now but if games continue to be good perhaps I can put in some more work and rectify this. Anyway right now definitely going to enjoy the grind for another week or so then go gamble it up at aussie millions. See you at the tables!

The king! sick results homie. Hope you're keeping the macau streets clean, can't let the live regs rake it all in

in before busto

Did you manage to win any live tournaments recently? Sounds like you have been playing a lot of them, surely someone of your caliber and all that MTT study you have been putting in has managed to bink something?

Sick stuff though man! Not sure if there is such a thing as playing too much DOTA though..

legit - do you care to share your db for tourney results?

What is dead may never die!

[ ] knows how mtt's work

(no offense though )

this post is so wierd, considering who you are and the fact that 2013 you asked for coaching price. oh how the world moves on

I've realised alot of my trolol's in the chat were not balanced with any real posts. So here it is, it'sover900 is a very good friend that helped me alot throughout my poker career and he was my go to person when it came to discussing hands and strategy between the early parts of my hs career between 2012 until he quit in 2017, so the trololol's were all just a joke between he and I. It'sover900 was already a very well established HS grinder for years before this and pretty much the only good aussie HS NL reg at the time. While I still dream to achieve the 1000 buyin's at one stake as he did at 1KNL, a bigger dream is one day moving out of the apartment life and owning a house half the size of the itsover900 estate. Here's to the many fan's out there that would love a update to the life of itsover900's since exiting the online poker arena

I thought fidstar-poker was the best poker player in Australia.

I was so good at it, I quit to give others a chance.

what was the stars sn of itsover9000?

gotta lose that money!
