Thanks for your kind words - it means a lot for us. We checked seasonality and it looks like weekly seasonality is way more stonger than monthly. Though monthly we didn't do very accurate - we took 30-days trends, but to properly model it and check we'd need to calculate relative dates to months. Somthing for us to focus next week. :f_drink:

We‘ve paused development for June month to take a break and see how site performs without our active involvement. I’ve been focusing on family and job search as my unemployment benefits end in August, so almost no time left for playing and blogging. Plan to resume both next month, we‘ll see…

Good luck at the tables 🍻

This is a good tip, thanks. I‘ve posted to few Spins communities in Discord, and want to push more with next feature set - realtime tracking of Leaderboard runs with ability to track your points accumulation speed and opponent‘s to make competition more engaging and informative

Hi Studentishe,
I just finished reading the thread and enjoyed it. It led me to joining pokerstrategy. Thanks for sharing.

I have the opportunity to play blasts in a soft field. Hand histories aren't permited, so I can't get results or see my cev. In your opinion, what kind of cev's are possible for a solid reg playing blasts in very soft pools? Are they beatable pre rb? I thought you would be a great person to ask.

Thanks for any info you may be able to share. I'm checking out pokerinsightslab now.

Hey GreenGums,

That’s quite a delayed reply from my side, but happy to contribute to your journey. I used to play on 888 and there files is super-soft, I could beat the game pre-rakeback in turbo format, that‘s something rarely achievable on other sites. When I played there RB was also very generous - 80% with proper optimisations.

So yes, the format is beatable pre-rakeback. Depends on the speed and softness of the field. You can use SpinLead (distributed over discord channel) for reference ev-pools ChipEVs and calculator to match cEV to winrates ( https://pokerinsightslab.com/calculator)

I recon PokerStars regular speed where profitable before RB. But definitely not the case with GGPoker turbo ones

Hey Untiltable, thanks for pinging me here! 😊

I've been distanced from poker these last couple of months as I've been focusing on applying and preparing for job interviews. My unemployment support reached its end, and I wasn't happy about losing my professional grind. In 16 months, I've applied to something like 150 jobs, and last month I finally received 3 offers - one of which was the company of my dreams: Google. It was my 4th or 5th interview process with them, and I finally got it. :f_drink::f_drink::f_drink: It's hard to express how happy I am right now!

The only thing is, the position is in Kraków, so we'll be relocating to Poland in 2–3 weeks. Lots of changes are coming, and I'm not sure if I'll return to the tables anytime soon. My prime focus will be settling in Kraków and doubling down during onboarding and the probation period to have a strong start.
