Edit: nevermind, searched him and he has like 77 $30s this year

Some of them are playing 30s but not the ones that are in top 3 or 5 for that matter and like you said their sample on 30s is super small also.

Finished working on the game part for today about to play shorter session
On track with volume goal so far, running bad and card distribution sucks past week but I will get through it. It ain't easy playing minimum 3 regs per table, most of them aggressive ones too!

Yesterday was fun day! I did session with student, worked on my game, went to lunch with Stefan and rest of the day spent with a very good friend playing football manager with Partizan Belgrade :) Later in the evening we watched Partizan - Barcelona basketball and around 11:30pm I went back to office grinded 1 session 75 games and went home around 2:30am...
Today was very productive, its 8:29pm and I played 158 games for the day. Played 2 sessions that lasted all together 6.4 hours. Heading out from office to hang with gf.
Very proud of new time management and priorities I made, I can achieve much more with this approach - will talk about it in some future posts.

Have a great Friday and weekend everybody!

Ah the pictures... Well I posted a video while back and since then we just rearranged some furniture in office, have 4 tables with computers. We still haven't gotten fridge or couch so I've been postponing pictures because of it. Also there might be an option moving out from here after new years to some 2 bedroom apartment in center of Nis for around the same price (maybe like 5 euro or 10 per person more) but we would have area to hang with couch kitchen with everything bathroom for showering (in case we are hitting gym before coming to work or in between session whatever).
I will keep you in the loop :)

Today planing to spend whole day in the office and go for like 200 + games.
This coming week my friend from London is coming again to Nis, this time from Thursday till Saturday so in order to hang with him I have to stay in extra hours at office to reach SN this month. As things look now average is 158 games every day, if I take 2 days out for example average will go to 187 games (7 and a half hours). I also started changing my session times from 2 to 3+ hours per session. This way I can finish everything faster in 2 vs 3 sessions since brakes in between are major leaks for me as I tend to overextend them (instead of 10-15 minutes I rest 45 - 60 minutes) and those things add over time...

Tons of things to do, so little time left to do!

See you around guys and at tables today. Enjoy your weekend :)

Hey guys,

Decided to post this for Steve and other of you who are into planing ahead, giving your best to calculate your expectations in poker. This one I did this morning, it is basically 3 different scenarios playing 15$ 6 max turbos on Poker Stars, assuming you have SN 37% RB.
1st scenario includes 3000, 2nd 4200 and 3rd 5000 games. These are all monthly calculations in my mind and then you can feel free to take months off within the year if you have some specific number in mind that you want to reach or simply need and want to take a brake :)
I have included 5 rows where each of the rows represents ROI from 1 to 5% pre RB.

I decided to make such a table to make my life easier next year in terms of my other life plans, like traveling for example. Now I know if I will need extra money in some particular month, what I will need to do to achieve it. I think this can help many upcoming players and people whether or not they should play on Poker Stars those low into mid stakes 6 max turbos. From my experience traffic on Ongame has died, lots of regs are already switching, Microgaming is still super soft and easy field but you can't compare it to Poker Stars traffic running all day long minimum 12+ tables. I haven't tried Full Tilt but I assume they have better traffic then other networks I mentioned so there is also edge there (not sure how much their VIP system is worth, if the rake per game is the same etc).

So there you go,this is all for now - worked on the game 1 hour then did this, now about to play , will go for 7 and a half hours grind today. See you around!
