yeah, that's a good approach ->> to "set the goal to 200k VPPs and divide it into months/weeks" i can only recommend it (exactly did it this year).
If you will save some time, that's only good, the best would be to find some non-poker hobby to spend him for a better balance (not only family, tho it's most important). Or if you like money so much, play more 
but that would be a pity to have at the end of 2012 smth like 280k VPP's.....so think about it at the begenning 
If you try some shot at higher buyins you will find out sooner or later that you don't make there so much more money in these days (maybe even less). You will be only more affected by variance and probably it isn't worth it.
But you can try it anyway (everybody wants to find a new home at higher buy-ins:), but if that playing will be uncomfortable for you with worse results there is no shame to go back.
Non poker, non family activity is definitely needed That wont be a problem.
And as I said - why to move up when I probably wont make more money there? I think that the love events are more probable, I enjoy them a lot, I play only few but have ITM in some 300$+, so why not - I also like to meet few poker friends in Prague and so on...
We sadily agree on that - moneeyyyyyy makes it happen...
Hey...
Havin a nightmare today, I did even have to quit my session earlier...U know these days when u cant flip, u cant hold, your oppo in HU has 3times in a row aces and u obv a premium hand or u end in allin t30 on the flop CLUB CLUB CLUB with A of CLUBS, A of hearts against an idiot with Ad7d and those two ridiculous sevens really come? So I had that day and lost 30BIs in 100+ sngs...
Anyways, it is something that sng player must overcome...

Great thing is that am gonna have 3 days "holidays" from tommorow. Am going to a poker/friends thing called ZPT (Zdar Poker Tour) - it is something that my friends started few years ago, we get together, play some sngs, have fun, drink and so on and after like 20 hours we calculate points and announce the winner. It happens once in 4-5 months and from 12 ppl with basic knowledge of poker it is now 20+ ppl across the country, few very very good poker pro players, poker manager of the biggest festival on Czech Republic and so on, everyone are great ppl to hang and drink with, just awesome. So we gather on Friday, drink, bowl, party, sleep and all Saturday we ll play to death. Professional tables, chips, cards, perfect cathering and so on is guranteed, guys really do this well Bad thing is am still kinda sick so I wont be able to party that much, but...still
Gl guys!
Buyin is just to cover the costs...and in sngs it is some friendly buyin. More about fun thn money, but some interesting sidebets and PLO cash included, soo...♦
Well, ZPT was legen....wait for it...u know Bad thing is that I didnt cure my flue (what a surprise) plus there was something I had to do at home, that means am makin it little bit more interesting and still need 10,5k VPPs starting tommorow...:) But I dont see a problem in it...
good read, i have fun playing with you.
enjoy your ridiculous light BvB shoves that somehow get there >_<
Hey crab,
I would like to respond, but somehow I was never able to find out if the post is written sarcastic or not ♦
U might wanna tell me your screenname on PS and we can talk and I could share the fun when we play together
Some really annoying s*** happened to me during my second session. I had registered like 24-26 tables and I wanted to stay on that number...but suddenly tables started to drop down, so I stoped ninja when I realized that and couldnt fix it. Thn I found out that HEM is showing me that am playing on for example 10 tables but in real I had 15 tables opened but the other 5 had no names...just "tournament" and HUD wasnt working, lobby neither. BUT!!! Thn "loonatwok" told me that am sitout on some table - that is a fair guy, I really appreciate it and thx again!...so I checked registered in in PS lobby and wow - number of tables was about 25 - I wasnt seated on 10 of them...Man I got angry, couldnt make it working for few minutes and when I did I obviusly was in super hurry withou timebanks and...bluh...
Gonna write to PS, will see if they can tell me what the fuck...
Thx herek!
Well from start it was what my bankroll allowed me. Thn I did few shots on 30s but I am about BE there. And I did few calculations and so on and I decided to play more tables at 15 with higher winnings. I really feel I would be about BE at 30s and I just wanna finish this challenge "quietly" and will see next year. I do play few 30s from time to time to increase the VPPs but I feel that playing 15s is more EV+...
Hmm, hmmm...
Had another super weird day...I wasnt running good last days, my first session today was also in minus numbers. BUT...I played about 110 games in the evening, checked the results and I was in nice profit around 350$. Didnt felt like am winning, but still. Funniest is that I was mixing 30s in and i ran like hell again there, so at 15s I had a superb run and I scored 1521 points at BoP that could be top5!!!! ♦
Sooo sick this poker thing ♦
At higher buy-ins (30+) the key is table selection. After a couple of shots you should be able to recognize regulars, then SS them.
Once you get notes (colour codes) on your opponents you can carefully register to ez tables and make a beautiful profit.
This year i did ROI 6%EV at 25-40 BIs (27's and 38's before PS change) on tiny sample 2,5k, however i am pretty sure i would never did it without a precise table selection.
Also an interesting thing at online poker is that most of winning regs don't fully realize the importance of table selection. Only a couple regs do and those ones are mostly top regs.
Thats right. Think that You can achieve bigger ROI -> more moniez per h if You do table select, even at 15$. I read that You play with TN autoregister and i'm pretty sure that most games you play with 4+regs. Read abarone well at 2p2 - he talks about this matter.
Also gor question but preffer prv. Send You inv.
U know guys, it is all about preferences.
I did this 4months challenge to reach SN so I knew i wont be able to table select and I did expect about 3% ROI to satisfie me. I am super looking forward to the next year with little bit less tables and well selected coz now I have a great sample on every reg.
Back at FT, table selection on 24-36$ was the key. I played 8 tables and had 10+ ROI and could have played like only 1500sngs a month and plus many bonuses I had a very nice profit. I could not imagine I wouldnt table select. I always thought - how can these guys be so stupid to register in game with 6 regs? ♦ 
Now I know!
I am looking forward to the next year I said it many times - there am gonna find balance between volume/hourly/clear profit/fun.
Btw. I would be thankfull if I had 4 regs on the table, there are more regs from time to time, I do know these tables are BE or losin...but it serves bigger goal, u know.
And for the 30s - agree with lance again, u can see bigger fishes there, constantly losin players and so on plus some rake hunting supernovas with mtt skills (they aint fishes but their ranges are super wild from mtts and that is nicely exploitable)...plus ofc some really good regs but u can table select these...definitely will be adding some profitable tables next year...
And for abarone - we meet every day at 20tables last month, he is playing for vpps last days so he doesnt table select that much, he drop mid stakes for this purpose to play higher volume, as I can see.
And one last thing - I do know about lot of regs that dont select - not because they play a lot of tables, hunting vpps or something - and that is ... stupid
Hey guys,
