Super sweet!

My little recomendation is - let PokerStars know that few ppl might be playin from there - not sitin at same tables and so on ofcourse, u might spare yourself some sick explaining - happened to my friends, they played a lot from a pub where they join almost every day with laptops, everyone grinded their games, no collusion ofc, but for some reason suddenly everyone blocked :)

Heh AA 4way allin and 75% equity. Nicely blocked hands :)

For poker internet connection speed is irrelevant and stability is everything. Do you guys plan to have any sort of backup connection?

Haha yes sick hand , I will post from bubble last night you will see sick reg calls (-ev of course) for over 10bb AGAIN :)

We will each have primary internet (the one I listed) back up ADSL internet (basic plan) and we each also have internet on stick (USB) so we should be good to go for internet.
I have at my home wireless Exenet internet, great speed for up and downlaod but the problem is when there is some sick weather (stroms and such) it can go off without any notice. I lost a lot of money this way and tilted extra but I learned to deal with it. This way with 2-3 internet options ready and available we should be good to go I feel :)

Was working on my game about 30 minutes, checking out some HU and finding additional edge is always good.
About to start 1st session of the day, 150 needed for today , perhaps will end the day at 2am go for more than 150 we shall see. See you around :)

Short brake , 101 games already today and its not even midnight!

I am posting a graph from 12th of August, since I switched from 15-17 tabling back to 12 tabling. So almost one month since then

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Games 3836
Total ROI 3%, AVG ROI 3.5%
Profit pre RB 1517$
ITM 36.9%

During past month I also had days where I played my C game no doubt and was spewing like crazy (4 bet shoving stacking off too light calling light etc) so considering my mental game is still far from what I want it to be , this is good result for me.
I will keep working on my mental + tactical game, look for edge always and hopefully from next year 50k a year goal (after RB) will be well within the reach!
In those 3836 games, I actually made 2k profit in 15s turbos, but lost money in 15s hypers (about 90$) and in 30s turbos 419$!

That's all for now, heading back to tables :)

Nice volume sir.

Have kicked some grinding motivation to my lazy ass this month also. Around 150 games per day so far. Had some reminder of variance in first 6 days. Nice -2.8k$ after those as prerakeback result. Then BOOM next day record day profit (2.24k$) followed by nice 820$ today. Back to plus in prerakeback :f_grin:

Bit over 17k VPP so far. Aiming for 60k+ month. Anyway bit smaller swings would be fine to me. Obviously those sky rocket upswings feels awesome, but... Well big part of it has come from 18man games.

Funny line in that 55 hand. Villain was obviously non believer though do you really bluff with such overshoves ever? More of standard line would be 300 in turn and shove river. Though maybe this looked more bluffy to him.

1) Other regs will get insight into my play and exploit it
2) This blog is not meant for free education but rather as diary, keeping progress of whole improvement/playing process and other life things
3) There is hand evaluation forum for such things
