I started a little project on the side. I won another sunday storm satellite for T$11 but this time, I'll only use that money and the winnings I get from that money in SNGs, tournaments, etc.

I'll be playing 9 man turbo KOs at first to build to the tiny BR when I don't feel like play CGs :)

I woke up so early today! :O It's 1:00pm lol

There are tournaments running at this time so I'll be playing those today =)

BR is at $292 by the way so I can play $3 tournaments as well which is very nice

I'll post if I get deep into a tournament or at the end of the day with my results.

See you at the tables

Oh and screw that 9man turbo KO thing. Waste of my time when I'm a winning player at NL10 SH!

OK I'm down $26 and still in the $3.30 PLO $1K GTD. I'm 20/67 and we're on the bubble.

I wish I would have played a hand where I would have rivered the QQQ55 full house when two other people had full houses on flop JJJ55 and 44455 xD

Lets ship!

My monitor BROKE :rage:

I just ordered another 24" 1900x1080 (or something like that) from DELL that comes up to $200 after taxes so that should let me grind up my bankroll to enough money to buy this one

That one ends at midnight though. I have fireworks and liquid cocaine to get too

I was going to start a week full of tournaments monday but I forgot that Im going paintballing and la ronde (six flags) tuesday so wednesday is when the grind stars.
I'm doing only tournaments because I want to work on my tournament play before micro millions and I tried 12 tabling SH on this 17" screen... not working.

NNNOOOO!!! I folded because it was the last hand before the break and we were 43 players left (42 make money)! I even wanted to play the hand.

FML... I wanted to win that tournament real bad
I did suck out on one hand though so I finished 3rd instead of 5th :) xx7 flop. I have A7 TPTK maybe 30bb and opponent has 99. I went all-in and binged on the river heh.

I fucked up guys :(
A split second before I clicked that left button, I knew that it was a mistake but it was too late D: The table was really aggressive and so was this guy but he wouldn't do this with ~AK

EDIT: Actually not true. He might do it with AK but not much weaker hands. So his range is too small for this to be profitable.

My monitor finally came so I take a shot at NL25 SH but I ran pretty bad. I wanted to play at least 4000 hands today with the exception of stopping if I lose 4BI (which has not happened to me too often until now).

Here's the graph.

Run bad in the NL25, run like a GOD in NL10

Next shot at NL25 is tomorrow unless people want to go to the beach before I go nocturnal and stay in my room for 10 days grinding the micro millions 2

I'm back! I had a pretty bad run at the micro millions 2 where I was staked. I think I played around 30 events but not sure. Doesn't matter right now, what matters is that I crush NL10 ASAP because Heavy MTL is on August 12th and I want to complete my tattoo which will cost much more money. Basically, I need atleast $25/hour salary

I will be trying to play an average of 5,000 hands per day. I might play 10,000 one day and play none the next day. I'll update daily and let you know how many hands I've played and what my profits are (hoping that there are some).

I'm also probably going to be playing mostly ZOOM SH :) Even though I ran terribly today :P

Got any sketch of the tattoo for us to see meanwhile? And obviously we'll be needing to see pictures upon completion!

Good luck with your volume goal, not sure I would advise you to make a $/h goal though, tends to lead to being overly results oriented and end up chasing fixed numbers which can lead to well worse play.

Will be eagerly awaiting each update though!

Regards,
Richard

This was a year ago lol :O I haven't been able to get the money that I need to complete it!!! That is why I would love to crush all villains in poker in the next couple weeks

That $25/hour is more of a motivation than a goal really. I just want to crush NL25 and 10bb/100 with 1000 hands per hour should get me that $25/hour _thumbsup:
I focus on being the best, then money comes after :)
