Believe it or not... I ran under EV this session ?(

That little dip at the end was probably due to me starting to listening to music at the same time and day dreaming a bit lol. Kind of sucks that I wasted a little bit of my time but raked some moneys so not too bad (might have been variance too, who knows).

So here's the first $3.50s graph _cool: A little over EV which I'm happy about. But I think my HU is improving so the EV should be going up too.

PS: the people who are playing these, please take a break until I move up limits and I'm 14 tabling now (if any of you are interested).

Going on kind of a lockdown today.

In about 30 minutes, I'll start by playing 12 tables tiled (it's all I can fit on my monitor without over lapping and I want to work on my game much more) for hours to come. The gym closes at 7pm today so I'll stop around 5 and go get in shape for Florida

I'll play for another ~3-4 hours when I come back.

do u decrease the ammount of tables you are playing after the gym? i have noticed that i make way more mistakes after workouts. Its way harded to stay max focused all the time. And im only 4tabling, i cant imagine how it feels to 12table when your body is out of energy...

12 tabling really isn't that hard for me. I'm at the point where I'm listening to music while 12 tabling lol. I'm taking my break a little early because I was +16K chips (EV too) but BE in actual winnings -__- dunno how that happens.

You'll get up to that level eventually :) The more hands you play, the faster you'll be able to make decisions and the faster you can add tables. I recommend that you do add at least one table though for several hours in a day. If you play 4 tables the next day, you're going to be much better because you were suddenly going fast enough for 5-6 tables.

EDIT: if yo usaw the picture I uploaded, that was a huge fail so forget about it lol.

It depense of my workout I guess. Some just make me exhausted after because I really pushed myself. But those workouts are really intense. Usually I would bring up the tables because things are clearer and there's more blood going into my head.

I've been a bit confused about the difference between the chip EV graph and the winnings graph too. How does this...

Become this?

Felt like i was running hugely below EV in most big pots yet aparently i'm very close to what i should have won.

This is what a 2.3% ROI graph looks like :(

I might have been making more in the $1.50s lol

SCHOOL'S DOOOOOOOOOOONNNEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

I played a small session tonight but I just wasn't playing well. Probably because of waking up stressed 30 minutes before my final because my alarm didn't work/just total usage of brain to write that exam :P

Uber grind might be starting Sunday or Monday... depending on how hungover I am :f_biggrin:

... I just realized something. I have $313 on my credit card lawl. So I think I'll be dropping back down to the $1.50 games this week.

GOAL: have at least $450 in BR by the end of the week and getting ready to shoot the $7 games when I get back from Florida _cool:
--> I only put $450 since I'll be brain dead most of the week hah WOOT

EDIT: withdrew $$$383 so BR stands at $100 :)

:heart:Day 1 summary :heart:

Variance wasn't my buddy today but at least I got my $50 stellar so I'm in the profits :)

6max hypers + no regs = EASY

The first half of today was fine, but then decided to do 50/50 $1.50/$3.50 with a $150 BR...

It's been so long since I had a BE 2500 hand stretch! Hopefully it turns around tomorrow before I tilt

As long as your red line is good, don't worry about the green line. It will always be swinging. :)

This blows

With the little $40 profit in the $3.50s and $50 stellar, BR sits at $183

Even with my $120 under EV BE run since December 3rd, I think I'm still over EV!!! whaaat
My ROI is lower than I'd like it to be though that's not going to work, but I'll look at that when I get back from Florida :)

Happy holidays everyone

yea lol I see that now. I meant a 2500 hand stretch in EV that was BE, that's why I wasn't too happy.

Heyhey everyone! New year, new challenges :)

My little goal is to be beating the $7 games by the 21st (the day I go back to school) so that I have a comfortable income.

Bigger goal is to finally have a 5 digit number in my account lol.

So I took a small break today. I think I'm doing better, and my ROI is going up and up :)

Yea I switched back to HM1 :P Less bugs and what knot.
Those little $10 stellars are also pretty nice to have. I already spent mine on redbull heh.

EDIT: the $/hr isn't as high as usually cause I was doing a 6 table $1.50 and 6 table $3.50 mix when I had $200 in my BR _cool:

Things aren't going so good right now. I'm on my downswing and am now sitting on $120 BR. My plan is that I'll keep playing the $3.50s until I bust because I have 4K FPPs saved up + $10 stellar so I would be able to get a nice BR with the 235FPP satellites to play other SNGs :)

It is time to clean up a bit though. Here are some goals for me to do before Sunday:

Mark at least 10 hands every session and review in SNG wiz to perfect ICM ( )
Review 5 games minimum each session ( )
Post at least one hand in the forum ( )
Read other 6max hyper blogs to get a better understanding of it all ( )
Make a kick ass class schedule for school ( )

Goals will become more specific as I go. I think this is a good starting phase :f_biggrin:

Around the 150 game mark, I told myself that if I went back to BE again I'd switch to HU hypers just because of frustration (EV line). But I didn't and was going soooo good for a while! Started to suck at 300 but still the best day I had in a little while :) I was going to pull an all nighter if it kept going like that.

And a hand that I'm a little proud of. The guy was aggro and didn't have top here too often. I was only planning on stealing the blinds though since he folded a good deal of the time.
