I always felt that trying different forms of poker helps your overall game; drmcboy once told me it was being good for the poker brain. then again this jack-of-all-trades thing may be why I've never been great at anything. | |

play well + grind hard + tilt-free + a tiny bit of conservative br management + neutral variance = you're there |

PLO is really fun and like filled with a bunch of huge droolers. It's just insanely high variance and probably not going to be a fun experience if you don't have like 200BI for deep games or 100BI for 100bb and like a decent winrate of 5bb/100 or something. All of the good regs win for like 3ptbb+ though and there's quite a few that do so obviously there's a lot of money to be made in that game. |

Continuing to grind 50NL through November. Had a bit of a downswing. May have to grind .5/1 CAP a little later to reach 500k VPP but it's all good nah mean cause Imma rape the shit out of every motherfucker that sits down with me this month. |

Isn't 0.5/1 CAP like ridiculously high rake? I remember you and m2m telling me this before. |

It is which is the rly shitty thing. It's beatable but you have to be super selective in ur seats/tables. |

Also on the runbad front cause that's the only front that exists atm. I'm getting to showdown sub 22% and winning about 40% playing 22/18. UTG I'm getting to showdown 23%(playing 15.6/15.6) and winning 25%. Pretty std etc. fml and f poker. Every1 I talk to pretty much agree w/ most of the shit I say but they actually win pretty decently. I'm actually applying everything I talk about now and never spewing w/o a good reason IE good 3 barrel where a guy snapped the flop and board ran out super ugly and I'm mostly getting folds when I'm 2-3barreling. I just can't win a fucking pot at showdown. This is the most tilting shit ever but I actually don't feel tilted. I'm being very very objective about my game and my decision making and I seriously just can't see what's going wrong. The only clear leak I believe I have atm is opening too loose into the BB but even that isn't terrible v some of the nits at 50NL but I'm going to cut it out anyway. I'm game selecting super well and getting off tables where players on my left are flatting/3bing me quite a bit. I've been looking at how other regs are playing by position and who has the best winrates in what positions and why, but most of the biggest winners are just table selecting really well while all the b/e players are like calling 3bs too much and peeling flops/turns way too light which I'm not doing ldo. I just seriously dunno wtf to do. |

Think you can defo afford to be opening MP wider, especially if you're table selecting to avoid positional 3 bettors etc and have fish in the blinds. | |

Your stats look very similar to mine except that I am slightly looser from MP, and way tighter from SB UO. | |

if you're table selecting vigilantly i imagine you could be playing a bit looser than 22/19? just a thought. also, do you adjust your preflop sizing based on table conditions? i've noticed a few guys at 50 6m who still fold their blinds >80% of the time to minraises | |

I probably change my raise sizing based on table conditions more then any other reg @ 50NL. I mean I havn't even seen anyone else do this so...If I'm not changing my raise sizing I usually just quit cause it means I'm not paying enough attention to detail. |

hi five for update, and gl with your schooling. spring and summer semesters are generally viewed as being shitty, but you can cram in a regular semester over both halves if you're playing catch-up. I personally prefer the shorter, more intensive schedule since you have a lot less to focus on at any given time. | |

Got 12th in BoP for +60$ so ship the free monies. Was Neptune division, score would have booked top 10 last week so that's kind of disappointing but w/e. BoP is broken anyway so hopefully stars makes some changes regarding it soon. |

The people who run well are the ones who are rewarded. Kind of silly to reward someone twice for running good isn't it? I'm not sure what stars should do though. They discussed this at the last meeting and don't really have any good ideas afaict. Rake races is an idea that I also think is terrible because why should the people already grinding for SNE get to have more free rewards? That's just my opinion of course. |

Yea I agree. Also the 20 game blocks are basically only for when you heater 18 and 27 mans. What do you think about what betfair does where you get points per game, per finish position from first to last and you can play and unlimited number of games? Basically combines the two above ideas. |

17.7k VPP+ w/e I make in the next couple hours to end the month! Great success. Going to crush May and maybe focus more on the 10bb 20% ante hypers as SCOOPs get closer as I assume the amount of fish in these things increase as SCOOP approaches. The neatest thing is a lot have different payout structures so I'm under the assumption a lot of regs might be butchering some spots. |

Just grinding away/studying this month. School starting back up but shouldn't be too busy so will still have lots of grinding just not sure how much atm. 11th(unless someone passes me) again this week in BoP. This it the 3rd time I've gotten 11th/12th which is kind of tilting cause a ticket is worth a couple BI or something iirc without looking it up. Will settle for the run good though. |

Poker going good. Pretty much b/e the last little while with some donkament run bad over the massive sample size of 30 or so. Finally completed a couple of my mini projects. |

This is an awesome opportunity. I can't do it, obviously, and I suck so bad at SnG's and MTT's that you wouldn't want to waste any time on me. But I'm happy that a couple of guys might get this chance. |

CAP mostly because rake is unbeatable at .25/.5 and .5/1. Also best possible @ 1/2 is around b/e. |

Okay so I'm back and ready to get back on the grind. Got lazy because I wasn't rolled for 100s anymore so I have been lazily grinding in not putting in hardly any volume. Tomorrow that changes though! My best months of the year have been when I set goals. So I'm going to start with a something simple. A one day goal. |
