Stud 8 saves the day?

 

[NineLions]

All you peeps that played 25nl, $50-$100 swings in a session are common right? At first I thought I sucked, then I realized that maybe 3-4 buy-in swings are not that infrequent...right?

As long as you're not single tabling and playing horrendously long sessions, no. I had a 4 buyin down session, slowly worked it back, then promptly had a 5 buyin down session followed by another 1-1/2 buyin down session, all just 6 tabling in hour long sessions.


Or both you and I both suck ...

 

[BelgoSuisse]

yea man i usually start of a session with like a 3 buy in downswing as i get a feel for all my tables, no biggie

you should consider changing your routine so that you skip past the initial downswing and start with the subsequent upswing, imo.

no way man, how would that work?

 

[BelgoSuisse]

just play tighter the first orbits.

but when i arrive at the table blasting barrels in every direction people think i'm ridiculous and then pay me off forever from then:deal::deal::deal:

why couldnt this ever happen at 100nl

well it was about 200BBs deep, so it's basically the same thing!

 

[blankoblanco]

i love when i don't wanna play anymore so i go to end my session but one of my tables is so good that i feel guilty quitting it. so then i'm like "f it, let's browse the internet and 1-table"

still a decent hourly for reading CC and 2+2

i played 3k hands today!

 

[bw07507]

Edit : Oh shit BW, is that a 26 buyin downswing, or are you playing nl$200 ? Still sick.

Like 6 BIs at 200NL, 14 at 100NL, so a 20 BI downswing. Been tilting pretty bad through the last 5 BIs or so though

Going to have dinner and then smash up da pokahz for a serious session !!
Hopefully get in 6/7 hours grinding, then start revision tomorrow!! Had a biatch of a week with coursework and presentations so giving myself the night off!

LOL that is so awesome.

Well party allows you to keep money in CAD now, so that is nice since i don't have to worry about currency fluctuations now. Not nice is transferring almost 20k over at like 4 cents/dollar higher than it was last month. However, seeing as i won't have to pay the 1-2% vig that is taken from the money i earn (withdrawing)from here to the point that i quit there, transfering would still be fine if i run good even if the dollar moved back down to 82c or whatever. I doubt it will go lower than that, and i'd freak out if it got close to even again (since that would be like almost $4k)

And surely that video has to be fake?

Feitr, do you play strictly HU or do you play FR too or 6-max too?

i just bought a 16GB ipod touch

 

[eNTy]

Noice.
Once i get like 60k FTPs ill probably do the same after I figure out how much it costs actually using ur FTP's.
(im still confused about them )
That will be in what, like a year+ ?


Oh and everest gave me a cool $300 bonus for reaching the next vip level this month.
I was already 800 out of 3k points on the way there when they did and the bonus started counting from 0.
So now I need to get a 3.8k summit points month ..
Oh well, if I move up to 50nl it will be easy. If I don't it will be 'a lot' of grinding I guess. 500/3000 SP atm.
Not really a lot, like 20k hands, but still with the low hands/hour it's pretty substantial hourly wise.
