Impressive hours, both of you. I guess my concerns about putting 200hrs a month were a bit off, when you can put in 10-12 hrs a day. So are you playing for like 4-5 hrs at a time or what does your schedule look like (either variance or vbzg can answer it;) ) I mean if I put in such hours in a row I either get very hungry or I have to go to the toilet very badly

My schedule is pretty mcuh the same every day. Start at around 13:00 play till 18:00 eat my dinner start at 18:45 and play on until I feel I made enough games for that day.
The 5 minute breaks are really very good otherwise I could not handle this. I can go to the bathroom every hour and eat something every 2 hours like your supposed to.
Back to grinding!

Ah yeah totally forgot about the 5 min breaks.
Hard night...Mrs "Variance" is back...
Games played: 134
Playing time: 6.8 hours
FPP earned: 256.62
VPP earned: 170.61
What a day, first started with 70bi downswing, imagine all possible situation from 83:17 to 55:45, and all big pots on last two tables or FT, and you cant win any of those in 134 games, or when you rarely win, its, after that same opponent already souck out on you at least once...very frustrating... ♠_cry:
Hope to run better tomorrow, and with a lot bigger volume
Hy <3, nice to see your comment here. Hope you run well.

Thats a loot of games/ hour. How many tables? 30~35?
What do you think is you possible ROI at those $2,50 180? And whats the best player doing?
I play a bit of 180`s too, enjoy the money while the field is lol soft

I've been scoping a lot of regulars(to color code them) and best i saw was 54% ROI over ~9k games sample

did you filter ? if this includes 3r/180s it will be skewed. 54% sounds unsustainable to me.

Yes, i filtered that guy(imbapokah) blocked himself on scope, so can't recheck, but i'm sure it was 52-55% ROI, at least 9k sample and filtered to 2-2,5$ stake 180mans (so it includes former 2,2s and current 2,5s)

Hi, I play 24 tables stacked and having tiled tables beside in late stages where I am deep, and think 7 tables was maximum at once in late stages what i expirianced, so I will have max 8 tables tiled in any moment.
ROI for good player is 35-40%, and for the very best 50-55 is definitely achieveble over the long run. The same question I asked Aaron and he will agree with this, talking solely about 2.5$ games! And from sharkscope + my expiriance this is 100% true.
For 8$ 25-30%, and 15$ should be like 15-20%. That is information I have. Not checked out.
And yes I will enjoy money, thx.

Yes, i filtered
Played vs that same player and yes he is now blocked, so thx for info, but from yesterday experience in HU (he won) I can witness that he is really good.
55% over long run is achieveble for 100% on 2.5$ games 180 sng, and that is max. Think I find 3 players with 5k and more games only 2.5$ games who are capable of doing this and soon my mate will probably have the same result. For me, 35-40% after 2k games now.
I think even 60% is possible, but the playrs tha can maintain that ROI are deff not playing $2 games
By the way, you are in good hands being coached with Aaron, hes a very good player and coach 
Deff was one of the top 180man players
Hi all, this was very good day...lol
Games played: 227
Playing time: 10.3 hours
FPP earned: 412.14
VPP earned: 274.67
Record day by ROI, and $/day, so all in all very satisfied, and must admit that my mental game was solid...offcourse its easier when we are winning :f_p:...but beside that it was ok. Again not satisfied with volume, expect at least 270 games but started a bit late so tomorrow starting 1.5 earlier.
Ye agree that players who are capable of 40+ ROI move up, that is my plan also, but for this month its gona be just 2.5$...I am very curious where I am at these level, so want a bigger sample. And next month moving up.
And now going for sleep, like my coach <3 said...sleep is very important, and cant agree on that more. So see you tomorrow.
My mate figure out something new with his hardware, so we'll see tomorrow what is he thrilled so much. ♠_o:
"We would accomplish many more things if we did not think of them as impossible." by Vince Lombardi, one of America's most accomplished and respected football coaches.
It has been a couple of days since I made a post again. I became ill thursday which made me unable to play as I would have liked to. Thursday I still played 100 games so that was ok, but especially on Friday I didn't play enough. So I have some catching up to do in the upcoming week.
I did however bought something that should make my life a lot easier. As you can see below I have bought a xbox 360 controller compatible with PC's. Together with xpadder (program to make the controller work properly) this will make it a lot easier to multitable. I am planning to increase the amount of tables played from 24 to 30 and maybe if it is easy enough even more. More games per hour means more $/h and means I can still make my 4500 goal.
As previously mentioned I will play some cash games in the weekend because it's easier to play them and be able to stop within 5 minutes (something necessary because of my parents in law). I will calculate how many VPP's I made with them and compare them to the $2.50 180's. For every 1.21 VPP I will count 1 game for 180's because the VPP is exactly the same.
Tomorrow I will post a new update with VPP, FPP, Hours and Games!

Yo, why are VPPs so important? You don't seem to be rb pros?
Does xpadder works for any controller or only for xbox controller? I got some cheapish one, might try if it's better than mouse+keyboard

Hey Bigniux, you mention ""cheapish one", so this is what I use and it cost me 20$ (in Croatia, so its probably even cheaper in EU), ErgoMedia 500. Model is prity old one (think 2007), but still available in stores. It comes with its own softwear, which works fine, even with Windows7 (you can configure 3 modes, A B C, which you change with one button...etc). Its lots easier than keyboard (at least normal one, not gaming), but I think game controller for xbox is even better. Beside my mate, I heard a lots of good impressions from one more poker player. So I think its good investment, a bit more but I am sure you get back the same value. So in future I am gona try xbox controller also. Ye with ErgoMedia500 you still need mouse (forgot to mention).
have anyone tried this one? It seems optimized for poker, not sure about suport though?
Why do you think x-box controller is better than PS or PC gamepad which also have sticks?

About the poker controller. If you have looked at the video it seems very clear to me what the flaws of this systems are.
1: hard to press buttons (you hear a pretty loud click when pressing a button)
2: not ergonomical
As for why I chose a xbox controller:
I have a xbox 360 at home and know from experience that the xbox controllers are ergonomical pretty good, you can play for hours without feeling any discomfort in your hands/arms/back or wherever. I never really liked the PS controllers but I guess that is more of a personal thing. And with PC gamepad there are so many different once that probably most are unusable and some will be pretty good.
I have heared that logitec designs one of the best (ergonomical) gamepads around so best try those.

VPP's are not that important but my goal is to reach Supernova lvl 3 next year. This will keep me motivated to get enough volume in. The extra $$ that it brings in is offcourse nice but not my main goal. VPP's are also a way of counting my over games since I will play some cash aswell!
As for xpadder... they have a database with 570 supported Gamecontrollers: http://xpadder.com/gcdb.php
If you want to know if your controller is supported check it out at that link!
The advantages for me so far are:
1 More distance from my screen so I do not need to bend forward that much which reduces back problems with long sessions.
2 Faster reactions for controlling betting/calling/folding
3 Ergonomical advantages because mouse and keyboard are never ideal to handle while this gamepad is.
