Today was a fun day!
3 sessions total each around 2 hours.
The one that helped my game most was with my coach where we reviewed my bubble plays. the other 2 were with our students.

I just played 2 hours today and here is the graph , I will perhaps play another 2 hour session before sleep.

I get a feeling lot of regs are leaving Party? Either that or its Saturday and less volume...

1st session 65 games 1.6 hours tables not loading full mixing 6 - 11s hypers

On the side note, today I went to watch football (soccer) Serbian Super League match between my home team Radnicki Nis and Hajduk Kula. Was very cold but it was very cool to watch shout swear etc it is definitely ev+ and tilt release

Ok guys quick update before sleep!
I played today 245 games, raked 225$ in 6.6 hours (1st session was waste around 30 games an hour only)

Here is the graph from today followed by total graph since clearing 3k bonus

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

After 8 days of grinding

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Results so far

Games 1814
Raked 1652.4$
EV roi = -0.3% (-62.49$)
Roi= -1.4% (-251.40$)

The weekly SNG race is finished, I was 11th almost every day and then today I went to 10th place. I am not sure if I stayed there or not, for last 2 hours I couldn't see any update on WPT about it. Hope I got that 10th place so that I can give it a shot for 300k gtd (215$ worth entry) :)

Ok here is another daily update

First of all, figured out that HEM1 is not calculating rake correctly for hypers on party network. It gives 0.60 cents to 6$ hypers and I am not planing to adjust that now but only after I am done with whole WPT thing.

So today was negative day but ev was always up and down. Card distribution, setups, regs shoving wide me calling them good and then they double up next hand I am all in - you know the story... :)

Graph for today

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Graph for last 9 days since clearing 3k bonus

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

So WPT says I need 2129.1 points more to clear the 3k bonus which means I just passed half way today.

Results so far for past 9 days

Total games 2051
Raked so far based on HEM1 (wrong) 1876$
EV adjusted roi = -0.3% (-51.15$)
Roi = -1.8% (-360.80$)

Guys I had a sick discovery tonight :)
All this time I taught I was loosing pre rb on hypers on party like 1.5% negative roi when in fact I am brake even or up to 1% roi pre rb...
So this drastically boosted my confidence now but still I know there is a lot of work to be done!

Just checked your blog, seems very nice. What is your goal overall , plan to stay on stars chase SNE or what?
I think limit you are on is very beatable and of course best of luck in your crushing :)

Sounds like solid plan
I might go to Stars for SNE next year to crush turbos with hypers :)

Quick update!

Done with WPT for time being. From end of October until now I ended with pretty good profit for me and coach + I improved tons my game.
Today I played about 80% turneys 22s and 33s turbos with 11s hypers. Had a brake even day but ran under EV especially HU :)

Will be moving to Ongame to play 11-22-33s so look out all of you who are there already

Future goal - rake monthly 6k+ with 180 hours of grind, be profitable at least 3k post rb - looking to make 4.5k + every month from now on :)
