Hi Vorpal, playing more than 1 table with mtts is good for my losing, I can't handle more than 1 anymore 
. I like to play hypers or even faster hypers so the action goes fast and they don't take too long (something else I can't handle).
I can multitable cashgames/rush, that's more straightforward, usually everybody is 100bb+ deep.
I play at GG, I can only play at GG or Unibet, no other choices.
1st place was $425 or something :f_zZz::f_zZz:

Similar, but since I fold a ton, I can play two tables β or one table plus something else, like email or reading forums.
I agree about the fast pace β you're not committed to playing for 3 hours at a time.

Yeah, I like to get in there a bit more with the mtts If the table allows it and play more hands, especially versus bad players. But at GG fields are larger, some hypers can last 3 hours+. they start with 6min levels and then 3min.

Yikes! I rarely have 3 solid hours I can devote to poker.
No worries! We have speedracers too, they only last 1 hr 20 min. 
Or just the normal hypers 2.5 hr
Okay, so I am not playing well anymore in the mtts. Sometimes I need to reset. Need to find my balance or something. This is a good time to switch back to cashgames for a while. I think I learned a lot from playing mtts for a time, stuff that will also apply to cashgames.
Have to start at $5nl, but that's okay ... I still have to proof something there as my 5nl graph shows:
Changing games every now and then just works best for me.

I agree.
Sometimes it helps to take a break.
That's quite a graph! I'm guessing you're quite aggressive post-flop, and get a lot of folds, but when you do get called, you get called by better hands.

Well, the second half of the graph my W$WSD isn't too bad right? Slightly winning even. The first half I remember being very unlucky, mostly with preflop allins.
I don't know if it's a difference, but this is all Rush (fastfold) poker. A lot of players there are nutpeddling and folding postflop. So maybe I am a bit floating on the average play by the pool, which is "aggression often means strong hand". Whereas at a normal table I might switch it up more because they can read my hand better and start to suspect I'm full of it. This happend in mtts for example, but then there are small stacks which bump up the fold-equity again.
But don't be fooled, I can make hands too :f_tongue::f_tongue:
This is the luck-graph belonging to that $5nl graph:
Wow! Stackoffski was back on the cash games and started a grind journey!

Well, not playing poker too much 
...
These are the cashgame hands from October from $2nl and $5nl, not going too well:
I forgot how unbelievably tight $2nl was, I lost some hands because of that. It's really tight!
I got 8th in a 2779 players mtt:

Maybe on GGPoker, but on 888 it's so loose it is barely playable. "no fold'em hold'em" is the game they play.

It's a different world ... sundays more people are looser at gg though.

Also true on 888. Time of day matters too. I play at UTC -7:00, so noon my time is evening in Europe when most of the players are on 888.
At the moment, there are only 10 players playing NL 25 fast-fold on 888, later there will be over a hundred (I hope). Those 10 players are generally very good.
10 8-o. That's not too much haha. Wonder how they keep it profitable for themselves (888).
Yeah traffic on the poker site of 888 poker is dwindling and dwindling. They made some pretty questionable decisions in the very past.
I gave myself a $15 MTT entree for my birthday.
I should do this every year, but maybe a bit higher buyin next year. A (small) chance to change my current circumstances every year. Winning a small bankroll would be nice this time!! Would be life-changing even, because I'd play a lot more poker!
Wow! Happy birthday, Stackoffski :f_drink::f_drink:
I wish you SUPER GREAT LUCK on the $15 MTT.

Okay, so I lost my small br (almost) because I was playing mtts again with just a small br. I was down to $8. I am really messing this up big time. I think there is (still) such an opportunity for me to win a nice amount every month on average. If I was only dedicated. Like I used to be a long time ago, when I was way worse ... at least I was dedicated.
Hopefully I can find some of this dedication back the coming time ... all that money is waiting for me but I have almost no bankroll to pick it up.
I could change this!
I am back playing $2nl rush. Today went quite good and I won about $25 at $2nl, so I have $32 now, 16 buyins for nl2.
These 5 days there is a nice promotion going to get some extra bbs, so I intend to play a lot these 5 days. I would be nice not having to redeposit again. I will try.
