Haha, that's ambitious being diamond for only first time, but I think 2-3 years ♠_biggrin:

Long time since I posted here... so here's a very short update 
Wasn't a good year for me. Barely made the minimum goals. But made them
(+) Supernova
(+) Hit $30s
I've been improving at very slow pace and other guys from my stable seem to do much better than me. So goals for 2014 aren't settled 100% yet but let's say minimum is:
Hit 60s by March
Comfortably play 60s/100s by the end of the year
Pretty sure I'm gonna make a few x supernovas. There's also a chance of chasing SNE if I make a good improvement in the first few months. Got amazing coaches which proved to be one of the best so nothing is impossible. Let's see what 2014 brings 
Also I might blog more. Setting monthly goals and making reports helps me keep track of reality in those crazy swings games, so we'll see about that too.
See ya everyone who might be still reading this!
in my opinion its not that slow of a progress to hit 30s when u played 7s at the start of the year. 
best of luck and lots of rungood! 
Best of luck with your goals in this year!
If its not a big secret, who is your coach for 6 max hypers?
@vuciitis Yeah, moving forward.. just a bit envious seeing people move up faster ♠_evil:
@IvicaIliev77 You can read about it here. I'm pretty sure that the stable is already full for 6max hypers for next year though...
@lessthanthreee Looking forward to it! Not seeing you in a game but playing the same stake that is
@Gerovit Hopefully you're the last one switching cause there's so many new regs first few days of 2014 already 
30s still look very good though. Gl to everyone else too 
This thread needs some graphs. Can't post EV graphs so this will have to do. Can just say Im running under EV last two months. And this is my January
Can you imagine this was the most tourneys I played per month since I joined my staking group. And most hours per month of only 112h 
I only play 6 tables cause I suck at multitabling but still... Will need to look at it in February.
One goal for February - get enough FPPs for $1600 bonus. Will be around 4500 tourneys.
There are huge blizzards in LT. Haven't seen as many ambulances and firetrucks passing by as last night. Looked like a warzone. This only affects me in a way that internet and power lines aren't stable enough to play right now. Hopefully the winds will be milder in a few days
Hey, a quick once/half a year update ♦
I'm actually on pace with my goals for this year, except that volume is ridiculously low, but that's ok for now cause I'm not going for SNE. Swinging $10ks up and down, hundreds BIs under EV, hypers fun. With better volume next year that won't be a problem though. One goal left is to reach and play a couple ks of $200s.
Dunno about updating this, cause I don't think anyone else plays same games from this forum. lessthanthreee has been gone this year and I don't know anyone else.
Im actually quite interested about 6max hypers right now. It seems like a decent SNG to learn as the hours of play are very flexible, but I have to make sure first, that it is worth for the future 
Im thinking of starting to learn those and play the 3,5/7s, got a few questions for You if You dont mind. First, what would You recommend as BRM if You'd play with your own money as for 7s and 15s, what is Your take on this. Secondly, what was the biggest downswing You've been through on each of the limits from 7 to 60? And last but not least, do You find the new Spin$Go madness really disturbing considering traffic at the 60/100 games?
Hi Drainus. Yeah the games got hit by Spin&Goes a lot, especially 30s and 60s. High stakes are same as usual but that just means 4-6 reg games as they're all running for SNEs now. Pretty much the worst time to play 6max hypers now...
As for your questions. You can probably get away with 150 BI BR for low stakes where the ROIs will be higher and maybe 250-300 for 60s+. My biggest swings on 30s+ were all 150 BIs if I remember correctly. Don't have my whole results DB and my samples are really small. It's not uncommon to run 500+ BIs under EV.
Hey, blog. I just reread it from beginning. Pretty interesting to read my own thoughts when I don't remember saying them already. 
vuciitis, thanks man, only noticed your post now!
With SNE run next year in mind maybe it would be fun to keep track of it here. All 6 max hyper guys seem to be on 2p2, but I don't like their forum. And this updated version of pokerstrategy.com is even nicer. What do you guys think? Is it worth to spend time blogging?
Sure it counts, that's why there's blogs
A little recap on 2014. I've developed some traditions in 6max hypers and will review in perspective to them.
Low volume (+) - As always at less than 2/3 of what I plan
Run good (-) - Not this year, 335 BI under EV
Most games played/day on Dec 31st (+) - Overdone it, finished my last SN 2 hours to yearly deadline ♦
Meet minimum planned goals (+) - The plan was to play mostly 100s by the end of the year
As for 2015 I'm gonna have break some of these traditions and get better volume at least. Minimum goal is SNE with BE or better preRB EV, and I'll be happy to achieve just that. Good luck to other pokerstrategists here and see ya around
Hey forum!
Seeing as my former stable colleague started updating his blog again, I'll post at least 1 mid-year update too. 
The first part of the year was probably worst period in my happy life. Nothing went right on and off the tables. SNE goal failed before it even started looking real. Introducing spins "helped" a lot but I think it was my mainly my own fault. I can see lots of reasons why that happened and some of them I'm still realizing now. Well anyway, you live and learn.
The bottom in poker for me was when I hit 500 BI under EV with my staking/coaching group which was also dying already and I decided to give spins a try where I lost another 120 BI even more rapidly. Spins were no good option for me, I could make more in 6max hypers but the group was officially over, I was stuck with MU, nothing looked good.
That's until June when my coach, who was also a bit inactive to due some issues, took me by his wing and we arranged a pretty good deal on how to proceed. By pretty good I mean it's the best I can imagine for me now - playing my beloved 30-100s with no stress about big goals. That and running on EV in my new deal makes me motivated again. Hopefully the second part of the year will be opposite of what was in the first. 
If this place's not dead already I'll maybe post more. We'll see ♠_drink:
I'll be starting a challenge next week Get Rich or Die Tryin'. The goal is simple - to turn $3,000 into $15,000, or make $12,000.
I'll be playing my game - 6 max hypers - $30-100s. The game that's supposedly dead after Spins were introduced. It's definitely not as it's used to be and not as profitable as Spins but there's still money. And hopefully I can show that with my results in this challenge.
Hey dydukas,
Welcome to the 'Get Rich or Die Tryin' bankroll challenge. we will be looking forward to your first update which you should post by Monday of each week in Get Rich or Die Tryin' - The Bankroll Challenge - Reporting thread.
