Did you get any Tickets from the Leaderboard glitch day? I hit a 25x multiplier on the 10th game of the 5$ Leaderboard and I won it. So I shouldve been first.
Did not get anything. Im talking to their support who isnt responding since 3 days. By the way, the doubled prices are until 8/3/23. I got a popup saying that

Didn't get anything from the glitch. My experience talking to customer service is that they don't reimburse any software glitches. I've reported multiple before and go nothing, so I gave up trying.
Congrats on winning 25x! I had 1 today and two 10x - all of them were lost (((
Thanks for sharing the deadline for doubled leaderboards - appreciate it a lot. Will play for the next 4 days straight in this case...
3 months summary (May, June, July)
I wanted to do a monthly report for quite a while to capture bigger, than weekly scope overviews. This would be the first one and as I skipped May and June, I'd just do for 3 in the first report.

# Overview
Given, I started 3 months ago with 1K on my balance I'm happy that I've reached the top limit on 888 and could settle there with a solid 26 cEV/Tourney.
The best part that I'm proud of is that I could find the process of play and study that brought those results. A big portion of positive results I attribute to GTOWizard, tracking additional data in a spreadsheet that would be otherwise lost if I'd relied on PT4 only, and coaching.
In this period, though I've played 5.5K tournaments I've had only a few 25x games, as I'm not tracking those my feeling says it was no more than 8-10 games. If I'll manage to put the same volume in the next 6K I expect to get 100x game at least once as the probability is 1 per 13K games.
# KPIs analysis
1. Bonuses contributed to 90% of my profits therefore I will continue to play according to my strategy where I'm maximizing rakeback.
2. The worst month was July, which brought a bit more than 2K in profits due to 888 Leaderboards that were not running for the bigger portion of the month. Relying on one site and one promotion is risky - I'd like to diversify it and beat GGPoker Spin&Golds. It is hard to transfer a BR there due to 1K / month deposit limits, but competition in the high leaderboard is close to zero and I target to get 70%+ RB with all the promos combined
3. Hourly rate is the key indicator for me as I want to invest as little as possible of time and get as high as possible profit while playing. For this, I need to increase tables from 3 to 4 (max) to comfortably play without losing quality (by GTOWizard mistakes count)
# Goals for August
1. Check out a new version of GTOWizard:
2. Play 40 hours
3. Have 6+ coaching sessions
Finally updated the first post in the blog with graphs on the limits and table of content. 
Good "Run" with "Nice" results.
I am excited about your experience with the new GTOwizard Tool.

Thanks :f_drink::f_drink::f_drink:
Not sure what quotes intent to highlight, but treating it as congratulations ))
At first glance in Elite Subscription of GTOWizard not much value was added to the Spin&Go format. There is an added functionality to recalculate strategies based on the predefined betting sizes that players use instead of GTO betting sizes, which I haven't explored in depth yet. Had a coaching session today and we went through new things there, but for me, it seems like an overkill as I haven't mastered a basic functionality through drills and study routines...

Your words of recognition mean a lot to me! :f_drink::f_drink::f_drink:
Glad to see that PP introduced similar to 888Poker structure with low multipliers 300 chips and high multipliers with 500 chips: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/content/SPINS-now-have-more-dynamic-payout-and-blind-structures_127971/
Glad because my coach is playing on PP and participating in the pool so will figure out how to calculate evRoi eventually...
On 888 I am currently calculating evROI by taking the average amount of Chips. You have a 91,8929% chance of having a 300 Chips game and a 8,1071% chance for a 500 chips game (This is for 10$ Blasts). Average Stacksize ~316 Chips. I use those 316 Chips for calculating evROI.

This is my +- method that I've used as well, but then was questioned by my coach on it. My cEV/tourney is different for 300 and 500 games: 18 and 90 respectedly (on 100s limit). So when doing avereging (24 cEV / Tourney) it looses information regarding this split. Same average 24cEV can have player with 26 and 0 cEV performance (with 92% and 8% distribution of the 300 and 500 games). I assume (didn't do proper math) that running good in big multipliers is more essential then running good in low multipliers. So I'm not sure if 316 average chips in formula "EV-ROI = [(Chip-EV/316)+1] * (1-Rake) – 1" actually produce correct projection

# Overview
Not a very productive week, put in a decent amount of time with little profit at the end. The main contributor was GGPoker action: -1K$. Played there 88 Spins with 5 cEV and 3K chips under EV. The field is much tougher, with lots of multi-tabling regs with the crazy amount of winnings and quite low first place finishing stats, I don't know how they do it. I can imagine with high PVI, top rank of FishBuffet, good Leaderboard Placements and additional rake - like on the raketherake they could have 100+ RB, which justifies such performance. I'm talking about fellows like this one:
I'm leading LB there - it finishes on Wednesday and I hope to hold in the top-3.
Without leaderboards, my current RB is 23% on GG poker.
On 888 Rakeback was 60% this week. They once again removed LB for one day, when doubled prizes ended, and I had poor time management for 2 days where I started late (around midnight) and wasn't able to get enough games (30) in 2 hours.
I had 2 coaching sessions this week but realized that without proper homework with GTOWizard and PT4 database, the value of having them drops significantly.
# Non-poker stuff
On the personal side of things, we have a semi-annual performance review round ongoing where my performance was marked as "needs improvement". This is the formal way to say that I need to do something very differently and it has a negative effect on my career progression, ability to do internal moves, and salary review. This is the first time that I've received a low-performance score, and I find this experience very useful to go through myself. The next steps would be to figure out what I'm not doing or doing wrong, convert it to measurable goals, develop a plan, and execute it. Just like in poker: find the leak, work with GTO, remove the leak, and improve the win rate)). Emotionally, the acceptance phase of the fact that my efforts were evaluated as low currently going tough.
We'll go on a walking tour at the end of this week with my wife and father for 3 days. It is a very nice path Malerweg in the area called Saxon Switzerland close to the Czech Republic. I'm looking forwards to venting my head and enjoying the simple life of walking, eating, and sleeping in a tent.
Take care and good luck on the tables.

As I understood, that gives 20% Rakeback? Not very motivating to be honest )
You get 5 points per 1$ rake. You need 75 points to get 5€ rakeback.
So 15$ rake = 75 points. 15$ = 13,66€.
5€ / 13,66€ = 36,6% rakeback.
And maybe the playerpool is softer on 25$-spins and maybe the rake is lower than on GG (I have never played there). And the blind structure on pokerstars is nice.
But we are talking about only 100€ rakeback. So it is not worth a big input. I already have an account on Stars and I am used to the games and software there, so for me it was clear decision, that I am going to get that 100€.
Today a weird glitch happen on 888Poker - I was playing on the table when a pop-up appeared that I have finished the tournament in 2nd place, though it wasn't displayed. I registered for another batch of tables and when the next one had to start I got a pop-up where it asked me to choose what tables I want to play as I exceeded 4 table limit. I had to restart the client to see all the tables that are running at the moment, that was 4. Not sure what amount of hands I missed. Very disappointing moment. Buggy software is the biggest downside of 888...

Today and yesterday I had a super weird glitch while grinding soley $1 Blasts: suddenly I played a $5 entry (yesterday) and today the same happened but with a $10 entry.
I always clicked on the "Play again" popup, so it can't be a misclick in the lobby. This is super annoying as it totally messes with BRM.
