Some of them overshove the flop with TPTK and from my experience with 10max that is usually an instacall on a Axx board with JJ for example, but it happened more than once that I looked like a complete idiot because villain had the nuts. Also overshoving rivers with the nuts seems to be the thing that these guys like to do.

Hm, I thought that was the habit of iPoker fishes. It seems that it's the habit of SH fishes ♦

is this rakerace from friday to thursday or what? Am I missing something?...

That is correct, leaderboards are from friday to thursday.

So I decided to play another small set and ended at 179 games for the day. Again I ran above expectation, for a 4.9% ROI.

I'm not entirely happy with my play today, I realized during my last session, where I only played 6, that I played way too loose and a bit fishy during the rest of the day. I think it's a product of playing 8 tables, so I kind of have to find a way in between, because I liked the pace in which I played my games today but on the other hand I try not to be just grinding for RB.

Nice challenge, GL!

Few tips: Throw that coke away! Think about little longer sessions - 3-3,5hours and only two of them, you ll be adding more tables u ll see, so u ll make the same amount i less hours and so on...but thats about time...
I just really think that 2-2,5hours sessions are too short - u know loading tables...thn quitting, so u play only like 2-4 tables for a decent amount of time and it is throwing money...
I think that in a long run you dont want to play 9-10hours a day...

These are just tips, it doesnt have to work for you

I don't get it, what's the big deal with coke? ♦ I'm drinking coke right now ♦

As for session length, I think it might be good to play longer sessions now but towards the end of the week you'll probably need the break every 2-2.5 hours. So it might be best to just stick to that schedule and play more-or-less the same time every day.

Yeah VK already mentioned to get some dextro energy, and that's what I did.
I tried longer sessions today, I still played three but I also played more than the first two days. Thnx for the tip.

It's just that's it's not really healty, not big deals ITT

Anyway, the third day is over and I played quite a lot, 201 games to be precise. I played 3 sessions of about 3-3.5 hours, it was quite a long day but for some reason I was a lot more focused than yesterday, all throughout the day. The results also showed it, I ran 10.6% ROI today.

I'm a bit worried about the LB, because I based my calculations on winning it with a bit more than 7k points, because the first place finisher usually had about 6.5k, so I figured 7k should be enough. However, last week's first place finished had almost 9k, so I really hope that is not going to be the case this week because then I might have to grind 24/7 on the last day ♠_biggrin:

Now it's time to watch the formula 1 race of this morning, too bad I already saw a spoiler on a Dutch news website, but w/e.

Edit: dangermowse asked me if I have a pee bottle, I didn't at first but I found something that could be used as one, because I really needed to pee badly (my god I thought I would never do this and it actually felt a bit awkward, peeing while playing :f_mad:)

lol on this one. Not like the online lol, I actually laughed loud

edit: forget the past tense, laughed again when I imagined it

Another day is over, again I played 200 games and I decided to mix in some $22s, not a really good idea in retrospect. I had a 10% ROI at the $11s again today but that was diminished by my results at the $22s. I ran under EV at the $22s but the number of regs /better players is quite a bit higher than at the $11s, so I think for this challenge I'm probably not going to play them anymore.

A fun fact, some guy thought I was some kind of ongame bot lol, apparently because I was in all his games for the last few days
Tho he said "it must be a well programmed bot". I didn't respond to it, don't really care that he thinks I'm a bot.

The last hours of playing were a bit hard, I was feeling quite tired and kept eating dextro's but it didn't really help anymore. So for now, I'm off to relax and sleep soon.

Lol yeah, would have been funny to get an email from support the next day with some questions

The LB has been updated until yesterday, and right now I'm in third place. I have probably played more games then the first 2 but the guy in first place is probably playing the $22s and is already so far ahead that I'll not make it to 1st if he keeps this up. I calculated that I need to play another 800 games until Thursday 23:59 to make that, which is insane and out of my reach. I'm very close to 2nd place so I at least try to take 2nd down.

Still 2nd place is not too bad so imo go for that as your best option. No point killing yourself to go for first when it's not really possible.

Good job on the first few days and hope you are fit to continue your challenge.

I wish you every ounce of good luck that I possess

Gary

Can't you mix a couple of $22s as well? You knowledge should be enough to play them profitably (by far ♦)!

Indeed 2nd place is not bad, but that was not the goal of course.
Thank you very much for the support, it means a lot

Well, yesterday they seemed quite reg infested but today they weren't so bad so I decided to mix in a couple of them again (despite what I said yesterday ). If they this soft again tomorrow, I might mix in more $22s.

So for today, I played 203 games, with a combined ROI of 7.6%, but most of the profit came from the $22s this time.

I was a bit frustrated during my last set because the software was lagging like crazy, I tried a couple of things but nothing helped, I didn't really wanted to restart the client because I still had some tables open, but in the end the client crashed when I switched from wireless to LAN internet connection (thought that might be the problem). After the restart of the client, everything was ok again but it costed me like half an hour extra to get to 200 today.

Edit:

I have almost reached a milestone, I'm a few games away from being at the "Master" VIP level on betfair, the 2nd highest tier RB wise. I hope I can make it to the highest before the end of the year, but that is going to be tough.

It's almost standard for the last couple of days, but again I played 201 games, this time I mixed in a lot more $22s. I ran horribly bad tho, throughout the whole day, coolers, suckouts all of it. But I guess I had to redistribute the wealth of rungood back to the system

The LB was again updated, and I'm in 2nd place now, I actually played a bunch of games with the guy in 3rd place. I've been trying to figure out what the hell the other guy in 1st place is playing, but I couldn't find him, there is no such thing a player search unfortunately

For a moment this afternoon I thought that I might make it to first if I put in a crazy amount tomorrow, but that's not doable unfortunately. The first place made about 2k LB points in a day, which is crazy since I only made about 1300-1400 when I put in 200 games of $11s. Even today I don't think I made 2k points, with about 100 $22s and 100 $11s. So now it's just solid grinding for 2nd, which is still $750 but $1k sounds a lot better ♦

go crush it
how much is 2nd place? 1st is $1k, right?

btw, sharkscope has a "favourite games" search at detailed search. at least for sngs. Try it on the guy if you are interested.

and tomorrow you will go CRUSH 'EM!!!! ♠_evil:

Thanx, it's only for this week tho

Hm, it seems I have to grind a huge amount of games today, I made some calculations and the 3rd place guy has been catching up to me and I think he actually overtook me at this point, so I'll try to grind 250 games or more today.

What is your nick on ongame? which skin are you playing?
