Hi all,
Haven't played since thursday.
Was away for a weekend and didn't feel like playing yet today.
Tonight I have a coaching coming up, so I have to play Multi Table SNGs, and won't play 6max again. Same goes for tomorrow.
Also they changed the games yet again, so I have to come up with a new schedule.
ahh fishes are taking over in these games :/
srsly they catch everything all they need all day long ♦
Hi guys,
I wanted to make a last update regarding the 6-max games.
I'm gonna put the 6-max SNGs on a hold for a while.
I'm gonna move into my own place, so I got some stuff to buy. Also, I've had a bad run the past months (in MTTs mostly) and played a few games above BRM which didn't go well. It's actually not a insanely big downswing, but it's not great either. Besides that I still have some investments going all, so all together I just don't have a huge bankroll at the moment.
Besides that I can't seem to win a lot of hands, and therefor can't seem to win a lot of moneys. And I basicly don't see too much fun in that, so I'm basicly just grinding for money, without winning money. Which is quite frustrating.
Because of all that, and the fact that I should gain a solid income, without too many swings, I choose to go the easy way and just grind some micros for a while. I plan to mass-table at the $2.50 180s and $3.50 45s, and don't move up untill I'm very rolled & very convinced about my own skills. I didn't win too much money lately, which isn't a great feeling about your own talents as a poker player.
So basicly, I will just grind the micros to:
- Gain easy moneys
- Avoid many big swings (I could handle 200bi swings at these stakes fine, but 200bi swings @ $15stakes are just not great at the moment)
- Work on my game, or at least make sure it is still good enough to crush the games, and do this without having to think one single bit
- Work on my mass-tabling skills (I got 2 24inch monitors, so I wanna fill both up to the max : 2x 24tables = 48tables)
- Gain so much experience so I can be the best damn micro stakes grinder & coach there is 
I did a little session yesterday, about 3 hours. I will have to study tomorrow, monday and tuesday. Then I'm free wednesday to sunday, then one exame @ monday & tuesday, and then again free till sunday.
I do have to do some painting, shopping and moving for the new place, but all and all I will have some spare time to grind the shit outta these $2 games 
Anyway, what I was saying, I did a session yesterday:
I just played for about 3 hours of 30 tabling (15 on both monitors). I'll probably just go ahead and 30 table for the next couple of sessions, but when I do get anywhere near my confort-zone, I will surely move up in tables.
Cheers, Bart

What? 
Tiled layout? Wtf? How can you play like that? I can handle 6 tables tiled, but then they become too small(27" monitor) and it just hurts my eyes when there's too much action going on. Why don't you play stacked?

HEY! ♠_mad:
I'm not on a heater, I'm just a regular fish.
Meh have had better days, gonna sleep now.
I'll pbb wont play too much the next couple of days.
Hi guys,
Played a session today, I guess 5 hours or something like that. Bought a TV earlier today, so I'm almost done for my new grinding-room.
I'll basicly grind on my laptop which I connect to 2 24inch monitors. And I'll have my PC on the side which I'll connect to another 22 inch monitor and my new 37inch TV, which I'll use for films, Skype, internet, etc.
So yeah, today didn't go great but it didn't go insanely bad either. Had a couple of deep runs and a couple of coinflips for huge pots that I lost, but I guess I shouldn't complain too much.
DonBartos 150 $1 $3 28% $116
Also, I did make two top50 runs in the $5.40KO and the $7.50T but no luck there, so that kinda sucks. I tried to make 200 games today, but I failed because I was quite exhausted from the long day and all the shopping and stuff.
Pokerwise the last 3 days has been at least OK for me. I was able to put in a bit of volume during the days, without investing very much time either. The 45player SNGs aren't going too great yet, but I guess this will still mostly be variance. I think I'll surely be able to crush the $3 stakes of these games, as I should. Besides the variance part I do think the 45s are not as great to masstable as the 180s are, so I will lean a bit to the 180-side, and will mix up 180s and 45s like 70/30% instead of 50/50% or even 40/60%. I use to register just a bunch of 45/180s whenever I need more tables to pop up, but I will focus a bit more on registering 180s and maybe wait a second or two and register another 180 instead of filling up with 45s all the time.
So yeah, I've played 350games now, and I guess I've played about 12 hours in the past 3 days, which isn't too much. I'm currently at a $25/H rate, but I sure hope this will increase due to the following things:
- I will have more time to grind the next week, so this means I am able to make longer sessions, and when I do this, I will deffinitly increase the number of tables per hour because I will masstable longer, and the percentage of time that I am either starting up games, or finishing games will decrease.
- I will focus more on masstabling, I currently just play 30games, I will try to increase this to 40 during the next week. Which obviously increases my games/hour rate insanely fast.
- I will have less random stuff to do, so I can focus more on my game, which might increase my ROI a little bit.
Here are the stats from the last two days:
I'll keep you posted, cheers.
So a little update from me.
I haven't played a single game in the past weekend. I was busy shopping and partying, which is fine aswell. I'm almost done shopping for my new place, and I'll get the keys probably and hopefully wednesday, allthough earlier would be nice.
I have to make a lot videos the next couple of days, 8 videos before 30 june. Also I got my two weekly coachings the next two days, today and tomorrow. Besides I have to move all my stuff into my new place. So basicly I wont make too much volume, I guess.
I'll probably play some games tonight, before and during my coaching session. I hope to get the first video done today aswell. So, I wont make insane much volume the upcoming days, but I will make up for this big time when my room is finished.
Actually I am wondering if I should grind higher games, or maybe mix these games with $2.50s. I could mix $8/$2.5 games for more volume and profit. The only problem is, if you run bad at the $8s, you can run good as you want at the $2.50s and still don't win a single game. Besides, I do need to pay monthly costs so I couldn't use a big downswing very much. Also, I do have a few stakingoffers, but I'm not sure if it's smart to do this. It probably would hurt my motivation for the lower games, and my volume would deffinitely decrease a lot. So, I'll rather play and win a thousand or two at the $2.50s and then take shots or whatever. After all, this is a challenge where I want to be the best micro-stakes grinder & coach possible, so grinding higher games and chasing the variance would hurt this challenge big time.
I'll update tonight after my coaching, cheers!

I'm a huge fan!
I still need one of these, please let me know where to buy a chrome one. I've only seen white ones, which are very, very ugly. This actually is quite a baller fan if you ask me, and it would deffenitely fit into my grinding setup.
Hi guys,
Didn't play a lot today, just played a few gaming during my coaching session. Shipped 2 45mans $3.50 so that's OK. 
DonBartos 18 $3 $3 87% $53
Won't grind much tomorrow either, got another coaching coming up, this time a Silver one. Then, wednesday and thursday I have to move my stuff and paint some walls and all that crap. So friday is either drinking like there's no tomorrow, or grinding like there's no tomorrow, or both
