[Closed] The Journey is complete. The fun times had. 897's Retired SNG blog.

I am probably done for today, I am tired. I may try some more but only if I feel like it.

50 games done today so far.

It is Friday so I will post a graph. I will post Everything from the FT $6.50s so far.

The red line is steadily rising upwards even if my profits are not but this is early in the game and
it looks just like the $3.40s did at first. I have a strong feeling this will continue in the upwards
trend.

Hah I did it again for fuck sakes.

Of course the trend is upwards it always has been over all.

It's not like I am forgetting this. I guess old habits die hard. Like I said its easy to think ahh shit I am
running below EV by XXX amount and thus I wasted this week when really and I said before 2 years
but it hasn't even been that long playing yet.. And I am up over $2K.

$2K is alot of money for very little investment. Well ok time was invested but that time is worth it
when one day the limits I am playing will be high enough to see some sick profit. Like <3. That was
a nice run he did on the $11s. That plus rakeback and you can move to some country and buy a
mansion.

Ok in seriousness it is a pretty impressive side income.

Anyhow here is the $6.50s on Tilt so far.

BR Stands at $775

Thanks for reading.

Hi,

Ill be on eventually. I already installed your mod successfully but I want to add my own table and background. THats what I need help with.

To add your own table it must be in .svg format. You can not use just .jpg as far as I know.

Where did you get the table you want to use from? If it is a .svg type and usable with post update
Full Tilt then you simply copy the file over the table.svg file in the directory
FullTiltPoker/Graphics/NewTable/Classic/Backgrounds if your want to change the table for classic view
and Full Tilt Poker/Graphics/NewTable/RaceTrack/Backgrounds. To change the Rush table just overwrite
the Rush_Table.SVG with your new one.

I can not help you "Make" an SVG table I have no skill in that department. I can tell you to download
inkscape. It can be downloaded for free and with it you can edit the existing tables in those directories
which is the easiest way to change your modded Full Tilt.

Download Inkscape here.... http://downloads.sourceforge.net/inkscape/Inkscape-0.47-3.exe

Then simply install it. Once it is installed run it and click file and then click open.

Then navigate to the directories I mentioned above.

Once you get to the right directory for the table you want to edit select it.

Now just like paint program you can fuck with it however you like and then save.

Voila edited .SVG table.

I did this same thing to get the awsome card look I have but it is a time consuming process because I
had to edit it card by card.

I hope this helps.

thanks for that program.
hated those random table backgrounds

ah nvm, something didn't work right :/

Well don't be specific or anything!!

What happened maybe I can help you out?

i made blue carpet background completely grey, saved it.
but when i go onto FT and click to blue carpet, it's still the old blue capret not my new grey background

Was Full Tilt closed when you edited it?

You have to have Full Tilt closed when you make these changes.

yes ofc i closed it
i'll give another shot at that program after this set of SnG's and look in it more deeper

I used to inkworks or whatever its called to convert to SVG. I tried to put my new tables in and now I have no tables.

I highly recommend Fozzys mod, It actually has a pile of backgrounds so when you right click
on your table you can choose from maybe 20 I think. And the install is done automatically
for you.

It is exactly 20 Backgrounds and they are all simple and un cluttered and the pods are
perfect for placing HUD stats around.

oo looks perfect
i'll try, thanks

P.S where is this fozzy mod?

Pinny. Thanks for writing guys and sorry I missed your posts in the mix.

Don't worry about it
But you can make up for it by telling my how I can remove the annoiying Cardrunners logo in the fozzy mod since I'm looking for a new table design at the moment and the logo is really disturbing me
I looked for the logo in the graphics folder to look if I can just delete it but I couldn't find it anywhere...

Are you playing with classic view or race track? are you playing rush or non rush?
basically open the inkscape that I posted the link to earlier on this page.

Then goto file then open then go graphics/newtable/(RACETRACK OR CLASSIC)/Backgrounds

In this DIR you should see the table files. Open them and just like a paint program
select black and then fill in rectangle or paint brush whichever makes you feel cooler
and then cover the logo.

So there is a table.svg and I think Rush_table.svg edit those.

Remember you need to change the tables in the classic and the racetrack main backgrounds dir.

Well this is one of those days where poker just decides to fuck me over all day no matter
what the fuck I do. I have not had a day this bad ever. I am serious. Every time I would
open another set it would be the same shit.

Look at this.....

Not only was I losing with the good cards, I was also running into monster after monster
after monster. Non stop. I guess I have alonger way to go than I thought for Tilt control
because watching the BR just dwindle away what would take a week to work for in a day
and in ever third hand you get involved in just feels like shit.

Ok as I am writing this I am fully calm again so the tilt doesnt last but it got me good at the
end there. Those finish distributions had me feeling like a fish. And I did not play many games
steamed. the last couple were always the worst but the session would be over I would leave
and come back when I had more free time and I would start out fresh and not worried.

Half way through the last session though it was just fucking rediculous and pointless.

I could fill like 3 blog pages of stunning hands just from today.

But like I said I am fine now... and I change the graph to buy ins and it looks like nothing
at all. So I guess lesson learned again. The whole reason I got together a 100 BI roll was
because every time I hit these $6.50s I get fucking rolled over something retarded.

I do not have the earlier $6.50s in my DB only the ones from since I started playing them again
this month. I have asked Full Tilt to mail me all of them so I can see what the EV looks like
because it is a big sample.

Well here is the total graph now. Opposite of yesterday but I am now totally ready to go
again for more. Not tonight though becuase I really fucking tilted at the end. I managed
a first in my second last game which was a miracle. I am worried that if I fire up more
and this continues I will make mistakes and be very pissed.

I guess there are soo many mental blocks to get over.. Like why the fuck does this happen at
this limit? The players are not better than the $3.40s. I finish first more often than any other
place when I money. These retarded things like I guess I figure why the fuck can I not see some
profit on this limit then let me have a downer so I can not feel it so much.. It is all
just really stupid shit that when the tilt is gone you can see it for what it is.

I will also use thie opportunity to review todays hands very closely and see if I was steaming
at points and doing things that were pointless and costing me more chips and money. It is
easy to say now that I didn't make many but I bet I will find some shit in there amongst the
seemingly impossible barrage of bullshit.

I can't wait to be able to not feel this shit. I still have 100 BIs for the $6.50s so its not
like my BR was decimated. I mean why should I be so pissed when its happening? I did
run hotter than fucking hell throughout the $3.40s and I increased this BR soo fast..
and I wrote over and over again that I should remember the good when I get fucked later.

I guess I didnt expect three days of breaking even and losing to shit but bouncing back
at the end of every session to suddenly go into a destruction of every hand I didnt fold.

Who am I kidding, I am not some SNG god who desserves to win and I should not have
more money than when I woke up today just because I sat down at the computer
4 or 5 times to play.

This shit can carry on for days or it may go away tommorow if I have time to play and
that is regardless of anything I do. All I can do is study more and learn more and keep
playing.

Maybe the swings are going to be ~20 BIs all the time on the $6.50s and I am just not
used to it. Maybe I thought 10 was a bad day and 20 is just average. All this shit will
work itself out in the long run so I better just calm the fuck down and realize I am still
just a fish learning to swim and eat.

I may be bigger than alot of other fish and therefore win my share of the prizes but that
does not mean that I am no fish. Wow I am spewing all over this e paper again and
it helped.

Ok well BR is back to $650 well just under it.

Its petty now that I think about it all. I will not edit this post I will for spelling but now I am
calm and have walked through it mentally I would probably want to erase some of what I
wrote but it stays.

Tommorow is not today.

Thanks for reading.

I installed your fozzy thing and for some reason my pods are different and my table has cardrunners written on it?

You are joking around right?

Read two posts above yours please.

As for the pods I just removed the top half using the same method.

Oh sorry thanks. Also ease up man, your blog is hard to navigate around with your mega posts with the screenshots, essays etc ;).

im on the 6.50$ sng's atm too.
like 10BI swings are very normal, atleast for me.
and tbh there are more fishes and donks on 6.50's FT than 3.40's on pstars.
ppl are calling down to river with mid pair or TPand like kicker 2.
they don't even think about what other ppl have.
