Thanks!

This is the first time I have played this much poker in a long time.

I have to go back to 6 or 8 tabling because it's very hard to stay ahead of pace if I'm only 4 tabling. This is a crappy decision but I cannot grind for SNE if I can't be ahead of pace as I do value family time and I will have to sacrifice some winrates.

I'm glad I am going for SNE because it's actually forcing me to put the volume in that I need to or should be doing.

I have 3 more days and up $17k and only playing 200NL. It feels great!

Next update will be at the end of February!

Nice! I agree that SNE is great way how to force volume. Because when I set my self goal for SN my I had to put in time as well just to be ahead of pace. Obviously SN isn't as great as SNE in terms of time needed to be spent, but you get the idea. :f_biggrin: My first SN... :f_love:

GL Hai! You can do it as long as you want to do it!

EDIT: Btw if you gonna keep raking 20k a month from nl200 regs, soon they all be busto :coolface:

Last 4 days grind. I'm starting to close in on my EV line. Another $700 to go.

With tournament winnings it's my first $20k month.

Overall I'm winning at 3.9bb and EV is 4.3bb.

Settling into the grind, the second half of the month EV is closer to 6.15bb and I'm actually winning 7.15bb!!! I still think there's a lot of work to do and still a LOT of room for improvement.

There are so many LOL hands when you play this many hands in a day. The good thing for everyone here is that I can confirm that at 200NL people are not solid. People still tilt too much and level themselves. They just can't adapt to the amount of out of the box lines that I make.

I still stick to my strategy and you guys should learn from this...

How to beat 200NL?

Just make sure you don't know what you're doing half the time... Why? Because if you don't know what you're doing half the time... It's pretty safe to assume that nobody else will know either!!!! (Evil laugh!)

People will forever hate me.

Congrats on good month. Agree it's really imperative to stay ahead of pace. January is a long month too, vpp/day in February goes up over 10% :(

Any plans to move back to 500? Way more vpp/hour.

Crush February!

January was a crazy month. With rake back ended up $22k. Pretty awesome since I've never been a high volume player. 200NL 70% and the rest 100NL. Again... it is very tough to do what Lessthanthree or MBML did. You don't understand how tough it is until you try yourself!

Congrats to Pleno for his start as well. Sicko plays 8 tables 1K and 500NL. Enough said. I would die to play those and even break even.

Played 13k hands and raked $1200 already first day of February. Ended down $200 but really happy with my play because EV was over $1k! Booked a trip down to Jamaica for May so the plan is to get ahead 2.5 weeks before that trip.

Been really enjoying reg wars with fellow pokerstrategist... I've been told by many people in chat... "You don't understand how good you run!" LOL because I don't know many people who run worst than me! Hehe

GL to all and to Pleno1... race ya to SNE!

Wow $22k! Sick month sir!
Maybe you could post some of the reg war hands here to show us how good you run? :P

Only down $200 isn't bad knowing how you usually run :f_biggrin:

GL with SNE! It's really really hard to do it on nl100/200 so big up to you and I hope you make it.

I was ready to spew but didn't want it to be on video. I had 33.

Either way you had 50% equity.

The plan is to play 500NL and 200NL on the weekends and just 200NL and 100NL on the weekdays.

This month has been a big roller coaster so far. Only 3 days in and managed to rake $2500. 13750 VPPs! Really!? Pretty insane I would say for 3 days. I booked a vacation to Jamaica and that will set me back 7 days so from now until May I have to GRIND GRIND GRIND! Today isn't over yet either so I will be grinding for another $200 or $300 rake!

It is really fun to be playing with the same faces everyday. For some reason or another people think I am running really hot or a fish on a heater but I just keep running below EV.

I would love to post hands but I think it gives away too much of my madness that people (especially pokerstrategists will figure out some of my lines.)

LgWz has already seen a lot of my funky lines. We have been battling everyday and I hope he gets SNE as well! Will be fun when he starts posting hands and show you all how I spew.

I try to stay away from Pleno1 because I don't want any hands to show up in his coachings or videos. Hahaha!

So I decided to only play 4 tables of zoom today for a change...

First 3 days I raked a ton but was 8 tabling and just raking and ended up in only $500 profit...

My redline was dropping dramatically... (It's no concern because I don't expect to have an edge 8 tabling...)

So today I decided I wanted to pwn and not be RB pro for a day! :) I played so many hands against pokerstrategists and we are starting to have some nice wars! :)

One guy even went as far to say in chat... "SO YOU WANT WAR RIGHT?"

Next hand he 3b me in position and I called with QJs and flopped top pair and c/shove him on Qxx board and he snapped with 88. So many things I do differently when 4 tabling compared to 8 and a lot of people are seeing this unique style.

Some hands to keep it interesting...

Some unknown I had like 8 hands on him and he raised 50% of his hands.

How to make ppl spew is my specialty.

Value shipping bottom pair against a fellow PS. :) Turns out he had 9Ts. So I folded out pretty decent equity.

One line I really love when regs take is this c/c c/c c/c line. Love it. So many people are doing it and you should make a habit of taking this line against them.

This month I've grinded 18k vpp's already. Not great but not bad. Short month so I should be getting enough for the month. Hoping to get ~90k vpp's and if I hit 100k I'll be really happy!

Very nice graph and hands, I was wondering why you open the btn 2.3x as opposed to 2x like a lot of regs do? If you don't want to say because lots of regs follow you on here no worries. GL with the grind

How is the grind sir?

Ahead of pace still? How is the head? Melted yet?

If you see 2.3x that means there is a fish in the blind so it's either you or the other guy. If you see 2.3 all the time... Hahaha sucks to be you.

I open 3.5x, 3x, 2.5x, 2.3x, 2x depending on the situation there is no standard opening.

I'm 6 days ahead of SNE pace so it's going very well.

Grinding has been pretty bad this month.

95k hands already and it's slowly getting better. Had to dig myself out of a 5k Downswing but not I'm in the positive!

EV 3.2bb
Winnings -0.03bb

I would show you the graphs and hands but all I can say is... It's just going to depress people. :)

The grind itself is getting actually easier.

Once I get to 500NL then it will be too easy. :) Cashing out $10k a month for expenses hurts when I wanna move up. There really isn't any rush though because even though I've ran pretty bad this month, I'm still up $5k this month with RB... (RB PRO for life!!!!!)

I don't know if I'm allowed to say this but they can edit it out but my students are moving along nicely! 3 guys grinding up to 50NL now... Took longer than expected but they are on strict 50BI BRM... GL to you guys!

Dublimax, my head is still on!

Peche025, I was only kidding about that comment. :)

Message me on Skype if you want a little explanation. I don't have access to community tools so I'm not sure how but I'm sure you can contact me through someone on PS.com who has my Skype especially my students.

My graph of 200NL Zoom for the year. Not overly excited about it but it's mostly 7-8 tabling zoom so I cannot be very disappointed with the results. My main goal was 2bb with this volume and I would be VERY happy.

100NL Zoom I've been neglecting as a side kind of just trying to get the rake needed and not paying too much attention. I more or less just button click on 100NL and concentrate more on 200NL tables.

So I'm going to start saving the BR and move up to 500NL. I've been suggested to cashout only $8k a month and the rest goes into BR building which is a good plan. It should take a few months to build up for a decent roll for 500NL.

Until then, crush it!
