Hey man, thx! I have colorful history with 18mans, I dunno wat keeps me atracted to em ♦ As for regs, it s the same everywhere...
GL!
Back from another week holidays...was fun 
Yesterday I experienced sometin I dont remember for few past months. I was thinkin if to load evening session...I wasnt feelin tired but I knew I usually am after goin back home, after drivin and few days in different space and so on, but I told myself not to be lazy and load
So I load, max 12 tabling, coz I was obv rusty after the week. Well...first 5 tables I hit in AA pretty deep, thn few suckouts, one missclick + I began tired and baaaammm - TILT...this anger tilt, u know, not totally spewing but F word after F wor, I did also smash my mouse...so sick...SO AGAIN DO NOT PLAY TIRED COZ U DONT HOLD SUCKOUTS AND STANDARD SICK SPOTS....
Today am just endin session, hope it was over 60 games but that ll be the only achievement I guess coz I keep runnin in top ranges I feel :/ Also tables werent the juiciest today...
Other stuff...DEXTER is very interesting and I watched 5 episodes of THE SOPRANOS, that s massive!!! THese older HBO production quality series are just great - acting, writing, its close to one hour long per episode and still full of interesting stuff.
One actor keeps paroding Al Pacinos "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in" and I just keep repating it ♦
MUST recommend this

Hey guys,
have some off-poker topic today...
In general as a poker player I feel different thn other ppl...not just by my thinkin and analyzing things and so on, but also in economic way. As a poker pro am mine own boss, I learned a lot about myself and I have strong ideas about how my country works, where the money goes...In Czech Republic there is a huge corruption problem, it s everywhere, it s tolarated I would say. THere s very bad politic culture, I would say there s bad culture overall. So what poker gives me is freedom not just time freedom, money freedom but also freedom from the system - I do my own savings for old, I do my own investments, I pay my own health care - basically I dont use any social security shit. And that s totally fine by me, I love it - until the system will need sometin from me (when they would like me to pay taxes or so, social security insurance or shit like that...).
Am writin it down coz things happened recently, things that would change someones life a lot, money wise. Basically me and my wife are pickin every "bad" change in the system we can ♦
So my wife was a student when we got baby. THere were no excuses for student mothers and only one social security possible help, same for every student mother, no choices to be made - 3 years gettin like 200bucks a month (funny huh? family support). In first 6 months, system changed and it was cut so in 3 years we lost over 2,500USD (pitty). Also as a student and mother u obviously need to extend your study time and when u do that u need to pay for the school. It was 1,000USD per semester - times 5x...that s not a little. Last months another change happened - fro 3 years bein student mother, study time is freezed, so u r basically given holidays off payin this fee...(pitty). ANd today another biiig thing happened - new rector of university decided it was very not fair these high fees and set new ones, how much? 200USD per semester (pitty????? jeez).
All in all I just realized that we could have had like one year salary (average for my country) "extra"...
In another words, am so gratefull there s poker for me and I just dont have to deal with that shit...hope it stays this way if not am ready to move out from Czech...but is it better somewhere

Sup guys,
painfull days right now, notin terrible, slight minus maybe plus post RB, but painfull are these 18mans. Lifetime I am runnin sooooo unlucky in them and it s not endin...I like the format and I ll stick to it, I just know it must turn at some point, but jeez, when.
So far I played over 3k of em, ABI 30$ and am slightly +, but - - -- - - - -- - -
160k hands and 1,7M chips under EV? come on...
Sry for this post, I needed to ventilate a bit...

done
Sup!
I am kind off pleased with my volume this month, hopefully it ll leave me not much over 100k VPPs from September to December to be done ♦
Currently playing as planned only 30s 9mans all kinds and 30s 18mans. 9mans = great, maintainin solid ROI, feelin huge edge in most games. 18mans - another 70BIs downer, but well...I did some calculations, checked graphs of the biggest winners at 30s 18mans and combined with some basic logic = it is pretty variance format, so I ll stop complainin, no more "omg such a downer" posts. Even the top regs there have like 200BIs swings, long BE stretches, sick up and downs and when u think about the amount of flips /even in better shape) u need to chase in every game...pretty easy to lose 10 flips for ITM CL or bustin without money and just these 10 flips makes such a huge money difference...
So I ll stick to it, I believe I should be makin money in em and i dont wanna put 15s 9m instead and increase hours or tabling to make my VPP goal. I ll treat next months as everytin above RB is nice bonus But OK, maybe I ll make some stop loss at 18mans like 200BIs and thn go and hire coach or w/e...ideally flip coach ♦ But these 1,8 MILLION chips under EV in short 3,5k games sample speaks for itself, so just go and play....

U must be really desperate to go here...(just kiddin)
I cant hel you, you have all set same as I do, so it s sometin deeper...dunno maybe some other ahk script u use is blockin it or I have no clue...
I have no problem with you. I know you use them thats why i asked. I run pokerstars now as administrator and it seems to work fine. Fingers crossed
Hey guys,
lets call it a month, I feel kinda "kopr" in Czech, translation is sometin like "fuckin resistance to work" ♦
AM very happy with August, it was 2/3 month, coz I was 11 days totally out of computer and my place and even so I managed to put almost 90 hours and 1,5k games. It is great for me coz it gives me some space in later months, I ll talk about it...
I definitely switched to just 30s, 15s became kind aborin to me plus it s not effective to play em for me in terms of rakeback, so I added 30s 18mans to my 9mans where I run great for a long long time, same for this month, but at these 18mans - swingy as hell, not runnin good at all, but I hope I ll at least BE these for next few thousand games.
Numbers:
games: 1536
hours: 87,75
ABI: 27,36
profit: 1877$
FPP, stellar, reload: 1306$
total profit: 3183$
HOURLY: 36$
Plans:
I collected pathetic 93k VPPs this year. I wanna make 200k until the end of year. It means 26750VPPs per month with ABI 30$ it should be about 2,2k games per month or so. In other words, I try to make 60 games session about 3 hours = 37 sessions per month = I can have even 10 days off and rest with 2 sessions per day = totally doable, accurate challenge for me for next 4 months. Bein BE next 4 months = over 8k in rakeback, but I hope I should be ++.
At 30s 9mans I have currently 4,5k lifetime sample and am 8% ROI, proud of it, so until the end of year, I register every single one and fill it with these bloody 18mans. IMO I am definitely not losin player at 18s, hopefully this sample size I ll play till end of year will finally prove it and I ll manage to overcome these 1,8M chips under EV in them ♦
This mini challenge should hopefully also push me a little bit more to effectiveness, I did enjoy poker last 8 months so now increase tabling a bit, paly worse games, but....grind a little
OK, GL!
Nice results, especially considering working hours per month. Do you mind telling how you use your winnings? I mean, do you have certain amount you withdraw for RL per month and rest is for building roll (assuming you wish to play higher) or is it monthly/expenses dependent?

No problem,
I dont have any strict rules, I maintain some kind of safety pillow for bad times, if sometin happened or w/e; invest small amount every month for future; we spend a lot, I always wonder how is it possible, but u know how it is ♦; and bankroll building - after BF am not a fan of havin 5 digits BR online and I also dont wanna move up to 60s/100s coz there s no action...I tried it few times and it only makes sense with goin for SNE or sometin and puttin much more hours...so no, that s not goal. But I do have sometin extra online in cases of staking posibilities and so on - floatin money basically
Basically we are improvin our family "standards", we all like to have/buy top products, have a nice free time and so on, so money goes there. And ofcourse our daughter gets the best.
From now on I ll also put aside sometin extra for movin, I hope we ll be movin back to our born city in like 6 months, we ll rent a flat or condo or so and we want sometin nice
In general I stated it before, it s not all about money for me. If it were about money I would be grindin my ass twice or tripple the time but would not spend time with family and so on

First day of my mini challenge and am thinkin of changin it? Well done, Milan ♦
But seriously, in my mindset I feel am strugglin with these 18mans...ok, run bad, ok pretty standard, that s not problem. But I think I just love 9mans soo much. I dont know how to explain to u guys but it s my life for like 3 years and no matter wat I keep playin it and I keep goin up and up, I feel super confident every single spot and that s probably fullfilling me.
Why I dont add 60s 9man? Coz there s like no traffic afternoon, sometin little goin on evening and I cant make sample enough, so in short saample I can run bad, feel bad and so on. So I would have to add 15s again and increase volume...make it like 3,2k month.
oh well, lets go for it...lets play 12,5-13k 9mans till end of year, lets make 20k+ with RB and be happy...am countin with 5% avg ROI and that s very realistic for me, I might run better...
So, 75 games instead of 60 per session and go go go...:)
How else should I call thn pure love...lol 9mans...
OK so from now on, I ll add some progress bar at the end of my posts
Tell me would anyone be interested in bettin against me I wont make 20k+ (RB included) until end of year at 9mans 15-30s only?
GL
