I feel lonely, lo lo lo lo lonely...
This how lobby looks at this time after getting 2 tables and playing them for 20 min. (yeah, i'm registered at both those tables)
I guess i'll have to do something else. Gonna prepare some questions about today's coaching session and check eval forum. See you tonight!
i logged in to 888 to check traffic at SnGs etc. aren't there any filters on the SnG lobby?
traffic is low tho...
Yes, go to "My favourites" tab and then press "Edit view". Here you can filter what you want.

Yep, you're the one
To bad i don't have a roll for 15s if they are almost the same... I'll send you a friend invitation if you're interested and just tell me when it's good for you. I'm sure we can work something out. Have you ever done sweat session before? I haven't, but reading about this i'm leaning towards HH review over live sweat, cuz then we can talk about specific spots even more.
Wel im back. Just pm me or add on skype.
Yeah I do alot of sessions so far. HHs review is better but live play is also ok.
Will watch tonight's coaching. How many HHs u send to unam? And did i played on some of those tournaments?

ty 
, im noob ^^
OK, coaching is over and it was great for me.
I definitely learned something about early stage play, limping, iso raising and we had quite a lot of debatable hands in push/fold stage. Everybody were surprised of fishy players and their moves (high blind limping and folding). I must say, that this was extra case with so much of that.
I also sent HH from another tourney, which i played recently, to lessthanthreee for an evaluation. He charges small fee of $17.5 per HH and i think it's worth it, especially if you want to see how good is your play from someone who does that for a living.
Cuz of that, i'm more confident in my play, but not in the way that i have no room for improving but rather that recent result are not just cuz being lucky but from solid (he said VERY good) game. I'm definitely taking another HH review whenever i move up a BI, just to see some adjustments to new level.
I also noticed HM2 offer for $55... I was deciding between PT3 (using trial version at the moment) and HM2 and i'm taking HM2 for that price. I think PT3 is good for now, but thinking of future, HM2 has more to offer (just a hunch).
I played only a couple of SnGs in the morning, so not much to update...
I doubt there will be any time for poker tomorrow, so i'll see you on Saturday!

I'm back from all day's work (yesterday was the same, played only few tables) and i played 10 SnGs, busted out in 8 of them real quick. I thought this is going to be a loosing session then it turned out me winning an 18 man SnG which i registered cuz i didn't want to wait for other tables to fill. In the end i won another $5 one.
I'm so tired that i'm going to hit the bed. Tomorrow i have to get up at 4.30am and work all day, same on Monday.
So for the next couple of days this is going to be low volume poker (at least less than usual).
I'll update blog only if something crazy happens.

Yo, all!
I finally hit some tables and I'm happy with the result so far. I hope i find time for evening grinding cuz i'm way behind with monthly vol.
Since i cleared all bonuses, i'm withdrawing most of the money (hope it goes fast) so i can purchase HM2 and deposit to other site. To bad i won't have time 20 days in a row to opt in for William Hill platinum status race. I'm still deciding where to go for next month.
I'll leave couple of BI on 888 cuz i still have 10$ in rake return to clear.

great mate.
buy HM2 now cause its on sale. but if you can use HM1 for the meantime use it. HM2 too buggy. wrongs results etc etc. and it's only me.
seach and find next platform and give feedback cause in 20 days im moving too
gl at tables
P.s im seriously considering moving to 888. and i was thinking about masstabling DoNs. just for fast bonus clearing. nothing else. is it profitable or what? i can 10-12 table normal sngs but i think i could multitable more in DoNs. also how many are the max tables? and is traffic good?
Yeah, I'm buying cuz of sale and long term investment. I had trial and only problem i had was crashing sometimes when viewing hands in hand player. And occasional wrong EV line calculation. Other than that, it was great. I still have 1 month of PT3 trial so they better fix those bugs by then. Next month i'm also trying SnG Wizzard trial before buying it.
About 888, i don't think that there is enough traffic on DoNs and masstabeling is not an option cuz there is 8 tables max limit. You might want to consider moving here cuz of really soft players on regular and turbo 9 handed SNGs for easier BR building.
Gl at tables, too!
i downloaded SnG Wiz and TableNinja at the same time, i have about 15 left from the trials. i will move to another platform to take advantage of 100% bonus + softer players than stars. tableninja is a must buy for me. sng wiz is too good too but im pretty much ok with calling and pushing ranges and 100$ are too much for a micro player.
gl to you too

Sorry, i somehow missed that post. 
I hate to say that i wont have time for this for at least a couple of weeks. I hope we can arrange something after that.
Did you watch coaching? I sent him only one HH and i think you weren't playing that tourney.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well... not a good day.
I came home from all days work and...
I was off with post flop game, made couple of bad pushes and on top of that, those which were correct got sucked out.
I had a feeling that i was rushing with plays, just wanted the tourneys to be over and put as much volume as i can in short period of time. So i decided to stop playing cuz it was like i didn't care what's going on at tables.
I'm also behind with ICM trainer hands, still have some vids to watch, coaching to attend and it's putting unnecessary pressure on me knowing that i won't have much poker time for the remaining days as the end of the month is near. I just hate that i wont be able to accomplish my monthly goals. Thinking of next month, which is going to be even worse as far as the time available concerns, it's just even more frustrating.
Can't wait to start some serious grinding with no pressure, just me and the tables in ... we'll see. 
Oh yeah, where the hell did normal speed $8.80 go? Now it's only turbo available...

Monthly review:
All in all, i'm satisfied with BR outcome but not with volume. My days at 888 are numbered and i'm looking at next room.
Funny shit... when i cashed out $560 i received only $530 to my Skrill account due to exchange rate :rage:, i mean common 888, wtf! 
I bought HM2 today and i'm playing with it at the moment (adjusting HUD and stuff). Hand viewer works normal now, except now i can't get graph for all tourney i played so far, even though they are clearly stated in database info 
. Will post this in software section and that's why graph is from PT3.
So because of this purchase, hand review by <3 and 888 exchange rate my new roll is $55+$17.50+$30 = $102.5 less.

@ k4ileb
Tnx mate, gl to you 2 and i'see you're doing fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, so i had a little time for poker and I was able to switch room. I chose William Hill, cuz i can be tracked and ipoker network shouldn't have problems with SnG traffic.
First thing i found out is that i have $445 bonus left from first deposit via PS. It needs to be cleared til July so i'll go for that.
I have enough roll to play $10+$1 tourneys so i decided to give it a try. It took me awhile to get used to the table looks (had to admit that 888's looks nicer) just to find out that there is no time bank button. I'll see how that goes when multitabeling. Another thing that bothers me is that it has 10 handed tables... I guess it shouldn't be a problem as far as strategy concerns.
To the play results... Fantastic start! Lost first 10 tables! Funny thing, that i pushed only once into better hands and the rest of them got sucked out. Otherwise I played great, spotted some regs and made some notes. Players looks a little less fishier than on 888, noticing that tables are still full at 50/100 level, which almost never happens at 888. I guess i have to prepare better for bigger swings.
Does anyone knows how to enter 10th player into ICM Nash Calculator on NASH?
Oh, yeah, already cleared first $5 bonus ♦

Not that i know of, just disregard 10th player and carry on (icm tax a bit less in 10-man when table is full but not very important it's low with both 9 and 10)
What are you guys doing up at this hour? Go to bed! 
@ k4ileb
I'm sticking to 10's for at least another 15bi, if things go bad again i'll move down to 5's in fact i did play couple of 5's and it was same thing, suckouts everywhere 
@ Gerovit
I presume that i can disregard player that folded before me? No matter his stack size? And if I'm UTG, i just disregard... Which one? Tnx.
I must say that there weren't so many 2,3 or 4 outer suckouts on 888 as here but i somehow manage to make little $ ♠_biggrin: It helps if you build a stack with good play post flop not going to showdown, so you can take one blow ♦
Bonus is great, they are releasing it in $5 chunks and so i cleared another 2 of them.
Last chunk of roll from 888 has arrived and this time i used option cash out in $. They took only $8 out of $258. Wish i knew that before, cuz this way only Skrill takes conversion fee.
