haha its basically just one long table where all have our stuff set up, nothing fancy since none of us really had too much spare space in our bags. Ill see if we can get one later.

Wroom! Up and playing again, just had breakfast. Not too many hours of sleep, and have to say I'm not really feeling superenthusiastic about playing 9 hours today Its def gonna be rly tough... think ima go for a massage inbetween sessions! :f_love:

Well I managed 7 hours today even though the last hour felt like another 6 hours.

Vonki and Eric are machines if they manage this 10 hours a day. Im kind of dreading tomorrow now but maybe will feel up for it in the morning

Grind stations nothing special but way better than just using my 14 inch laptop like I was before I got to the house as was traveling alot.

Love the shove on the river - the kind of thinking I want to maximise in my own game. What is he calling with flop&turn? Is he going broke regardless of the bet with the majority of it? YES! Shove! [as opposed to an automatic 2/3 bet]

PS. I started overbetting wet flops with strong holdings vs. fish after watching pink performance! Works a charm.

actually i guess vonki had to have a read on that guy,otherwise the shove is bad because he folds most Aces and even trips.So the best would be to try to get max value off his range .We can't really lose value otr because all of his a high flushes are blocked and i doubt he has a lower flush than ours that could smooth call,so best imo is to bet like 16 because a fh will raise and you stack it anyway and you give him the shot to ship a random Q because its a good bluff spot,to call a random J or turn it into a bluff, and to call 100% of the aces for the split:P .I think he was just bad enough to not be able to release trips and Aces so vonki shippeD:P

Fresh strawberries and pineapple smoothy for beakfast, 'nuff said. Sigh.

Get plenty of padding for those chairs guys, or you'll be measuring butt numbness % on your graph after so much grinding!

Loving this thread, you people are lures for us minnows to chase.

hehe oh yea. It's not a regular but a 50/2 or something similar player, cant really remember exact stats. You'd be surprised how passive people are sometimes in FR games tho, far from all fish where I play would raise a FH otr there :) but I idd didnt think he'd be able to fold a str8, trips or a lower flush otr, and I would assume most of the combos for those hands are in his range. Didnt quite think he'd have AK in a limped pot, but oh well.

I hope you're being ironic... :facepalm:

Anyway. Ive played 7.5 hours today and decided to call it a day a while ago. Not really convinced now is the right time to push through... Instead I'll be planning the day tomorrow as follows: Get up semiearly and play a few hours of CG. Get lunch, chill out, take a nap. Get up, go for a swim, have dinner and prepare for an all night MTT grind :f_p:

now now, we just wanted to avg 10h/day for 3 days! dont make it sound like we failed anything... :) besides, im pretty sure eric's played 10 hours today

And assuming I play about 3h CG tomorrow, and 8h+ of MTTs, then it makes 11 + 7.5 + 11 = ~10h/day!
