Hi all, I'm Tony, born in 1987, a graduate 'specialist' (~MSc) in math (real analysis).
I'm going to play iPoker jackpot SnGs (not to be confused with Full Tilt ones), PLO and sometimes Twisters and Spin & Goes.

(I played $60 9-man turbos to gather HHs for it by mutual agreement, I normally stay away from them, but their structure is close to Maui / Rio / Fort Knox).
In case someone doesn't know, iPoker awards a progressive jackpot (975+ BI) to anyone who honestly wins 6 games in a row at the top €20 and €40 levels, aka Rio and Fort Knox, which are 6-man; 5 at €5s, aka Maui, that are 10-man; or 4 at €2s, aka Dirty Dozen, that are 12-man (there, the JP is fixed - €2K). There are also small consolation prizes of €500/200/150 for getting HU 6/6/5 times in a row in Forts/Rios/Mauis.
The JP sizes as of Nov 9, 2014, are:
Maui €10K = 2K BIs ![]()
Rio €20K = 1K BIs ![]()
Fort Knox €83K = 2075 BIs ![]()
The discussion relevant to the 'Get Rich or Die Trying' promotion starts from this post.
Old updates (the goal has become humbler, plus now I have to care rather about not losing than about putting in volume):
Spoiler
I hope to make a milliard Belarusian rubles this year, which is about $100K but sounds much cooler
(and is also prone to x-rate swingaments that are likely to make the goal closer
). Mkay, scratch that, I actually store most of the liferoll in €, so the dream is €75K. [21.10.2014 edit: even 50 million, aka €4K, would be nice
]
The start of the STT pro career, aka the learning kurwe ((C) PmagicLchocoOballs), has been better than I had expected:

JFR, ROI of -8%, or 6% with hypothetical 100% RB, or 3% with more realistic 80% attainable at Betfair, is considered good among JP regs because fees in MS JP SnG are ~17% and consolation prizes add 2% more, the jackpot equity adds quite a bit too. I haven't studied much yet so hope to arrive at that ROI eventually.
The custom PT4 stats used above, available for download from the Warehouse, are as follows (written on my own, apart from the first one):
ABI (C) StevenM
1st place % adjusted (by chip EV, works only if there are 6000 chips in total, otherwise change 6000 in the description to the total amount of chips in your SnG, not necessarily single-table) - the stat is too specific to satisfy Warehouse rules, so please send me a PM if you want it.
My Currency Net Adjusted with Cashback - change 0.85 to your RB% divided by 100%, as explained in the below screenshot:

(I assumed RB% = 100% by default in the graph as I don't want to jinx my actual RB%, which is normally lower, by disclosure; also, with 100%, it indicates the 'pure' performance against the field, as if poker was a zero-sum game.)
ROI with 100% RB (analogously attach a desired multiplier to amt_fee_curr_conv)
My focus will be rather on the volume, as it matters much more in JP SnG than in other forms of poker, plus technical, metagame and math (ICM) development. I hope the quality of play itself won't suffer much from adding tables and hours.
23.01.14 upd: I also jumped into Twister Poker as soon as it appeared, see the 23.01.14 post.
14.05.14 upd: I didn't play much because of sleep issues, didn't really look into how much I've won or lost, but am still going to fight for the jackpots, especially at its their current sizes (€85K Rio, €75K Fort Knox). I'm now going to automate the grind more than ever before to help myself focus on decisions. Because of iPoker's bonus policy, I'm afraid I can only take one shot at the jackpots (30K games lifetime), then I'll either retire from poker at all, or finally learn to bumhunt hard in SSPLO on iPoker, MPN and Ongame, being satisfied by merely 65% cashback on iPoker for €2K'ish monthly rake, or go for SNE mixing $30-60 turbos and PLO50, which my forummates certainly don't want. Oh, and also, with the current Russian attempts to block gaming sites (and possible the entire EU, what a fail), I'm poised to emigrate to ex-Yugoslavia [21.10.2014 edit: this emigration dream has to be put off as I find it hard to start learning Serbian; Belarus is a much more realistic option].
Thanks for reading!
