I didnt play much, actually 4 sessions with around 12tabling, marking hands and so on.
I expected a lot from reducing number of tables and table selection, but what I get is something WOW :) Obv tables are softer these days (even tho I didnt expect that), but still I feel like I had to miss millions of good spots when masstabling. I really enjoy it, I feel good. But I also rake less so I think I will be mixing these sweet sessions with some hard grind to make VPPs I need. WIll find balnce.

Graph so far...

Hey guys,

I am running like...woooow :) I have to make sure I wont forget this feeling next few thousand sngs where I ll be BE I play 10-15 tables, carefully selected, but still more like relaxing after the SN challenge - this is unexpected result, but veeery welcomed ;)
I did make enough point in BoP high orbit to finish about 4-6th place TWICE, unfortunately it doesnt count :) So I ll be able to play 50k triple shootout next month (have a ticket for thi month's already, so two consecutive months) - obv it would be lucky to hit it, but..one time! :)
Check the graph yourself, hope it motivates u ever u have some downer or something...these things happens, just wait! ;)

Do you filter your HUD stats? If yes - how?

I do filter according to the number of players and also like to check stats in HUD if I have larger sample on oppo about different stack sizes - like how can he open his range with shorter stack and so on...but we are talking about small samples usually - these filters reduces the samplesizes so the info is definitely far from acurate...still figuring it out and it is more about feeling for the game (talking about me adjusting to oppos if they are capable to adjust to the situation at the table, stack sizes and so on...)

I'm using one of the cheaper ones - Logitech M500 ($30-40).

Enough precision for poker; good feel in the hand, not to light, not too heavy; side buttons in perfect place, only 2 though; should be reliable cause I smack it after every badbeat. I still get pains in my little finger from time to time, dunno if it's mouse dependand. When grinding hard I sometimes feel that I would be better off with just 4 fingers. Maybe bigger mouse would help but mine is already large.

dydukas - I really recommend you to go visit some doctor (ortopedist or so) - carpal tunnel syndrom can be very very devastating for our professions. This is the reason I am looking for some better mouse. I have no problems at all yet, but I dont wanna use some shitty stuff if I can afford to invest into better ones that might prevent future damage...if I had problems I would go to the doctor thn try some other mouses or eventually use vertical mouse or trackball or so...

BOBO, u nailed it! I am using the mouse I didnt even buy, I got it as a present from my insurance company LOL...

As for the mouse, does anything matter except comfort?

I suggest going to the local media markt (or equivalent) and putting some hands on some mice :)

Hi guys, just a thought about the whole mouse thing. What I've started doing lately is using a wrist support, I know you can get mousepads with them built in but instead of that I just use a pair of socks (scrunched up like how you would put them in the drawer) and it works absolute wonders for me! I was having ligament pains through the hand and forearm. Supporting the wrist so that there is less of a "bend" puts your hand in more of a downward slant instead of an upward one which makes all the difference. Mind you it doesn't help much for actual stiff wristness. Every 15mins or so I have to move my hand around and the wrist snaps itself, not sure what cure there is for that other than switching to xbox controller which seems like a ton of hassle ?(

Akra, comfort matters, obviously - why to have super truper awesome mouse with million buttons u cant reach :) But I wanted to study it first on the web, check different opinions and so on. Now I have about 3-4 favourites, going to try them the way - order and return (I can do it in two weeks after purchase for free), coz these mouses arent at all electro/computer shops, it s mostly eshops and I dont have time to find out where is what on stock to try and so on...:)

dangermowse - I think this is when doctors comes handy...some specialist

I think all these hand problems happen coz ur hand is always parallel to the ground or pointing upwards towards the ceiling on the computer desk. Which causes less blood flow to ur elbows and wrist and upwards. Even if u use a mouse pad with a wrist support, the pain will come back after a month or two. I had similar problems before. But then I bought a stool just small enough than my chair I grind on. So that I can lay back while sticking my hand towards lower right and use the mouse effortlessly. It really worked wonders. Not a single problem since 8 months

I can recommend the Logitech G400. It is a great mouse, very smooth and ergonomic and it has more than enough buttons for table ninja. The price is fair compared to similar products ( 28€ here in Germany) and the quality is great too.

As far as mouse pads go I'm not really any expert, so I just went for a quite cheap pad with very good ratings. Bought the Sharkoon 1337 Gaming Mat. It's a very flat mouse pad ( flexible) and quite big (0.2x25x35cm) and ultra smooth. It feels like gliding through a cloud with your mouse, really great ;)

Nice to see your recent success, I'm not running particularly hot these days but I can't complain. Haven't seen you at the tables, though. So you are probably playing at different times. From 20-24 I often have like 6 8/11 guys at my tables which is obviously not that great. What do you think are the most profitable times to play? So far it's the afternoon (16-19) and after midnight for me.

Good luck at the tables!
