Focus and Exploitation

[dneureiter]

Meh, almost forgot how tilting poker is. On a serious note it feels good to be grinding again, even though I am about b/e including rb over first 180 games. I had a nice 40 games after work from like 3-6 am, games dont go off too much at this point but I made about 200 with rb. Lost all that back now from 2 - 5.30pm. I played some 22s since my roll was 1250 + 80 bonus and leaderboard equity and rb and points, ran kinda good at first then got crushed alot.


Day 2 (totals til now)
Hours 8.4
Profit pre rb -117
Games 177
Points 833 (10k needed to clear full 1k)

Anyways looks like this will be a bit harder than I thought especially in terms of winning the leaderboard. It's more like 1500 games in a week at the 11s b/e before rakeback and I just don't have that much time. It would be a grind without a 50+ hr work week. Luckily the payout is fairly flat. Aiming for like 1k from the leaderboard over the 3 weeks, probably just 100-150ish this week which is cuz i only played half. Next 2 weeks top 10 which is 250+.

Anyways pretty motivated to get ahead of pace, if I do I am gonna play a 200€ side at party poker tour vienna the 9th.
Also if I succeed in clearing full 1k bonus and am +$ pre bonus gonna reward myself with a laptop Newegg.com - ASUS G74 Series G74SX-XN1 Notebook Intel Core i7 2630QM(2.00GHz) 17.3" 12GB Memory DDR3 1333 500GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M

Yea that would be cool, was planning on letting you know if I do play just still unsure. More I think about it I really want go.

Today was a super day at the tables; Games were really good for some reason with alot of fish who were on lots of tables, not really sure how much I am up, about 200ish pre rb. HEM and SS both miss games so I will just be using cashier amount.

Also played the big 11 and went fairly deep and busted like 500ish of 7k. Played one hand awfuly while top 25 lost a ton of chips, then got in AA vs AKo (like 22k) and KQs (14k), I bearly cover both, board comes JTxQx obv.


Day 4(totals til now)
Hours 20
Profit pre rb -30 + 190 bonus + 70+ in site points + Leaderboard (?)
Games 433
Points 1912(10k needed to clear full 1k)

I'm a little confused by exactly how the points system at betfair works but points (and thereby bonus clearing) is way better for sng / tournament players who get like 1.5x that of cash players. Granted the rake at sngs is brutal though, turbos much quicker than stars with 10%. Anyways it appears I'll be getting 75%ish rb altogether + the sng leaderboard. Not sure if I made a hundo this week or not but it's not really a big deal.

Goals:
-Top 10 leaderboard next week,
-Work a bunch / Grind a bunch / still sleep (Time management ftw)
