I'm planing to reach SNE by December 2012 but according to my calculations the new contributed rake on PokerStars basically means we get at least 10% less rakeback than with the old dealt rake and I'm no nit I do contribute to pots.
So basically I need something like 2.1 mil hands and with the old dealt rake I would have reached SNE with 1.8 mil hands for 200nl 6max.
Wandering if someone else is planing to do SNE and has more info about the new target/vpps/rake system.
Anyways I finished 2011 in the top ten biggest winners at 200nl so it was a very good year http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWwcPyKbzhw

Also you promise me you'll kick my ass
Well... bring, just try it... it's gonna be the last thing you do in this life that's also a promise.
It's war from now, I even wrote you a poem:

"Roses are red, violets are blue,
They'll need dental records to identify you."

Honestly I don't know exactly who's worse, one is really falling down and not with today's game, the other is lagspewy but a little bit better/ illusive than the first.
Both have the same problem they spew vs regs and they don't focus enough on table selecting/game vs fish/dynamic involving the fish.
They might be nice guys irl, but when it comes to the poker player coach Z and coach I, it's war on my tables, stay out of my way, I haven't forgot how to win, I never will, when you two and the likes of you are at my tables you're put there just to slow me down and increase the variance in my win rate, but it's ok I'll stay aggressive, competitive and I'll win win win; in a way I'm glad that beginners are learning from you since it's almost impossible for them to learn from YOU what this game is all about, on the other hand it's bad since they don't really get value for their money so coaching is wrong either way.
Also ex-coach D is semi-bad and not at all with today's game, a shame since I was a big fan of him a couple of years ago, good thing I stopped watching his vids and good thing he stopped coaching.
Surprisingly coach G who I perceived as spewy was the most decent of them all and didn't go out of line that much vs me, maybe that's why coach G wins more than coach I.
p.s. seen some complains recently about the lack of fish... wow guys get with the program, games are very good if you know how to look for them, hunting never hurt no win rate, spewing did, worse of luck to all the coaches vs me !!!
p.s2 guesses about the hands/ranges are welcome, BB has a 3bet of 14 vs btn, BTN steals something like 50% or something, postflop stats don't really matter both are capable of spewing

manny pacquiao you absolutely suck, Floyd will destroy you, rigged-rigged-rigged
And you wonder why Bute is having second thoughts in fighting Ward in the USA, he would get robbed.
Boxing tip: Ward to beat Froch all he has to do is finish the fight standing and with the Las Vegas refs he can't lose.
P.S. sorry for Cain Velasquez but bad game plan, you just don't strike with Dos Santos, gg Ben Henderson to win vs monkey man Guida but the monkey had fantastic heart and pace, close fight.

Q: Why doesn't the chicken wear pants?

A: Because its pecker is on its head.

I received some critique about the fact that I'm not helping anymore on the forums, I'm sorry about that and I'm going to make it up by making my blog a little more handi-capable so everybody can learn from the 2BB+ winner so...
My next blog entries will be about teaching YOU how to hunt wabbits professional.
Lesson one:

Splitting all your villains into groups to help you with table selection:
-Regulars are RED(see picture)
-Fish are GREEN(see picture)





*Extra colors are not fully detailed in this free sample
*if your name is on the fish list and you are offended I honestly don't give a fudge

P.S. I salute the re-opening of the football betting topic on the forums !

I have a SNE plan for 2012:
9 months, nl200, 8-10 hours/day non stop(like a real job 1000+ hands/hour, 20-21 days/month, January-June, take July off to relax and enjoy a summer vacation, August-October, some bumhunting November up to 5-10 only premium tables and some medical examination after the hard/lame grind, and finally taking December off and enjoying some nice winter fun.
So September was an experiment, I wanted some answers for questions like:
Can you play 1000+ hands/hour?
Can you do 1/9 of SNE in one month without going insane?
Can you play without a stop loss?
Are you mentally prepared for this?

I don't really have an answer, let's just say it's pretty brutal, I'm going to hide my scars behind the September graph and note to self that I'll need to buy a massage chair if I'm going to spend close to 200 days, 8-10 hours in a chair I really have to get one( links of a good massage chair in the comment section would be much appreciated)

To conclude this entry I'm just going to say that I'm going to enjoy my money for now, also was really glad to see an article about me on PTR, it's nice to see that hard work pays off in the end, the last thing I'm going to say here is an anecdote that was(still is) kinda my motto at the tables:

"The bull and his son are standing on top of a hill with a clear view to all the cows down in the valley.
The bull tells his son: you know what we should do? We should go down there and fuck one of these cows.
He looks at his son, awaiting an answer.The son thinks about it and finally comes with an answer: Let's fuck them all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

About 3 months ago I was blogging about a spewing kid with a dream named Dintyo, with an amazing luck that was going up the stakes; apparently he added at least another 50k to his run, bumhunting smart and improving his game, gg2him.


It seems I haven't lost my eye from back in the day when I was picking up winners with my sport betting. Morale of this entry is to follow your dreams(with lower risks than Dintyo of course :P), work hard and stick to winning strategies if you got them, nobody likes the loser.

I have no words really for this, 7 seconds away bb/btn vs an even steven donk what are the odds?
Forget I'm 5000$ under ev for the year, forget I run like crap non ev, forget my "amazing" 48.3% won at showdown percentage, but guess what? It's nothing, just a scratch I've kept a cool head, turned this shit around and won this session so if it was meant to tilt me and make me play bad it didn't work, but really... what are the fucking odds?
