[Closed] TerrorBlade's Path to Professional Poker Profits

5/T has never been this un-terrible, I'm running well for the first time ever!

The games aren't really that tough and I'm currently playing 2-3 tables from both stars + full tilt at the same time so that I can keep them decent. Hope to put in a ton of hands this month to secure some good rakeback alongside a healthy winrate!

Go equipment has all arrived and I'll have pics for you soon enough, maybe even a video about it ♦ Unfortunately however the stones are like .3mm too large and across the whole board if they're next to each other it spills over the edge I'm gonna order a new set stones in the next couple of days!

YAY!!! And soon the exchange rate will tank so your USD are actually worth two 911 / BMW 7 series rather than 1.5!!!

...I'm currently playing 2-3 tables from both stars + full tilt at the same time so that I can keep them decent.

This FTW!

I know that sticking to one site increases rakeback returns from that site, but with iPoker (so not sure this is strictly totally relevant.. :/ ) I found that multitabling across platforms was the best way of ensuring the absolute best table selection. I just make sure I use the worst tables from my main site first, then start looking around.

This is way better then just playing fewer tables as that reduces hourly winrate. I haven't seen too many people writing about doing this in the past so I figured it was worth a comment.

I have no knowledge about exchange rate changes etc. I just know at the moment it's shit for me If you're right and the exchange rate is about to tank then YAYAYAY!

As for multi-siting you're right it's only good if playing more on one site doesn't give you extra rakeback for more volume.

For FT I get the standard 27% flat rate and for stars I've already got supernova so it doesn't matter if I don't play a huge amount there.

I'm on track for reaching 200k VPPs and thus the 2k milestone bonus for that jump but it would be impossible to make 300k before the year is out so there's no point just grinding stars!

Does this mean that if I ever go back to 3/6, I will have it to myself? Congrats on moving up. Hopefully you have better success at staying than I did. GL.

Omg yes! 3/6 would be your playground!

But don't hold your breath, after running good for 2 days I lost 150BB the day after ♦

Now I'm not checking win/loss just playing well....

Also the 5/T tables seem nearly as good as 3/6 lately so I expect to be able to get ~1BB/100...

*Waiboy drools. Changes clothes.*

Withdrew from Mansion, in 4 business days I'll be coming to stars assuming no screwups.

I dl'd stars software and just looked at the vpip %ages for like 20 minutes. I think I'm going to like it here.

Geez.. and I thought I had a problem...

Haha bryan, rule of thumb is quintuple number of tables and double VPIP% of ipoker then you've got a good stars estimate ♦

Okay guys,
I've been playing Go/Making some epic smoothies/Had a choir concert + choir trip to Rotorua for Sing Aotearoa/Hitting the 5/T tables on stars & full tilt and have never been playing + running so well at this limit.

I'm on track for possibly my most winning month, but anything could happen really with 6 days to go. I'd love to expand on all of this right now but I gotta go help pick out a christmas tree with my gf's family ♦

New video blog today/tomorrow.

A Christmas tree in October?

Is New Zealand nice to live in?

Well, they tag one out of a huge field of them early and they grow a bit bigger during the next 6 weeks, then it's delivered to their house!

@ Yoghi, yes it is a nice place to live in

If I had to emigrate from South Africa because the crime and political situation escalated to untolerable levels (might already be close to that), I think NZ would be one of my top 3 destinations. Plenty of SA's there already and they are mostly positive about the country.
