    Hi m8
    I'm doing it the other way at the moment
    lose a couple of buy ins and spend a while grinding them back
    i have the problem at the moment that i don't believe people. cardinal sin at nl4
    this promo is showing me how bad it is at nl4 getting points
    might have to have a go at nl10. got the roll i think and i don't think nl10 is too different from nl4.
    i may be wrong :)))))
    good luck

    running bad and playing like a fool is a bad combination. i showed both aspects thru out tonight resulting in a really bad day at the office. i really need things to turn around and quickly or i will be conceding the challenge.

    i dont have much more to say, im away to slap some sense into myself.

    c4p: 3259

    TINTIN your a sicko - how many hours you play per day - 14hrs ?

    Between you and me if you keep this up then you'll going to win it
    Can't see anyone else putting in the same amount of volume


    good luck

    im capable of upto 14 but most days it has been about 10 per day. hardly logged a session after midnight so i am a little down on my usual volume:)

    im still not 100% to see out the month tho but it would be nice to be as high as 3rd even if its jut for a day

    10 hours mostly 12 tables. i see from your thread we use the same sort of calculations to work things out.

    now can you work out what i theoritically can acheive this this month?

    some ridic amount !

    Not sure 50 raked hands an hour is right thought, maybe 40

    your looking at 1000+ c4p per 24hrs - if your playing 10hrs per day x 12 table including happy hours

    SICK BRUV !

    So total for the month for you probabaly around 23,000, like I said clear winner
    playing nl20 could acheive 30,000

    good luck bruv - you don't need it unless a sick nl20 grinder puts the volume in


    IT'S ALL ABOUT THE VOLUME !!

    yeah it will take priority plus to win it as i think theres 3 or 4 who can do that.

    your going well on your total points and i think you will get to 10k without too much trouble, with you playing other forms its hard to know exactly the breakdown of cash points etc. i do think if you keep it up then you should be looking at top 5. good luck mate

    50 is about right, i think its a little more but its easier for calculation purposes.

    i think i could scrape 20k as long as i dont busto, all good in theory now lets hope the pratical goes to plan:)

    ITS SICK!!!!

    another 200 points in the bag, struggled to get tables going before happy hour began, common trait for weekdays im afraid so i only got a couple of hours in.

    as for how it went, read previous session reviews posted befor 14:30 on any given day, its exactly the same which means more torture approaching later on. its gotta break soon at least i hope.

    c4p: 3455

    Hi TinTin

    You have definitely got it sewn up at the rate you're going. I will be playing a lot... but nowhere near the volume you're gonna put in. i'm gonna keep going at my current rate though to keep pushing you... i think it's good for both of us as we could get a nice little c4p pay-out if we keep pushing each other. Hope you can get out the rut your in, I'm sure you will!

    Keep going!

    i really think i should rename this Groundhog Day. same scipt different day.

    slowly bleeding away, this mornings profits gone and a little more. i actually topped up 6 buyins before clawing most back before another 4 went away again over 3 hours. im now down 2 buyins on the day so far, the skinny roll is getting skinnier by the hour.

    as per theres a few hands i could have done a lot better on, a few i called down on too often, i got attached to aces v a certain player who i could name his hand (flopped set) but i was just too stubborn.

    the session ended as bad as it gets. get aces cracked by T6off defending sb and flopping 2 pair on a KT6 board, luckily they were only 50bb deep, then the real killer,  pocket 4s on the button and its limped round so i make up, bb raises and all come along, flop J94r. get it in here for 300bb. villains QQ n J9. turn is the killer J and its another set busted.

    i moaned the other day about running kings into aces and i havent had the reverse of the situation, well i did this evening and heres the result.

    the hand shows exactly what im going thru atm. i coulda n prob shoulda flatted raise. i didnt think ak or aq because i thought you would cbet flop. i was fairly certain it was a set but not sure which one. i think at the time i was more worried about the set of aces than the queens but didnt rule it out completely. i thought you were more weighted to 6s or 3s but i was wrong, nh

    got about another 3.5 hours in there. i dont know wether to chalk this up as a much needed result but i lost less than £2 on the day. yep just about broke even. didnt help when rancid repeated a hand i played earlier (wrote about it in previous post when set v top 2) for a pot nearing the 300bb mark. run better i suppose.

    earned about 750 points today taking me past the 4k mark but at midnight i was at 3983, wondering if its good for 1st on the nxt leaderboard. only 1 person knows that answer until its revealed.

    time for sleep, i think tomorrow is going to be a good day.

    I think 4000 is deffo 1st place, If it's not I'll eat my hat

    I might buy another monitor and run 24 tables ) Just to keep up with you so I only have to play 5 hrs a day and not 10 - lol - because cry cry - I have to go to work )

    But seriously do you struggle keeping up with 12, because I do
    I have no idea how Beanah ! and the like play 24 !

    ive only been playing 12 tables for a few weeks, and there is times i do struggle a little timing out still. mainly to due to grabbing a drink or a smoke or going to the lobby. im not 100% yet but will get there. any more just scares me atm and ive no idea how others do more with ease, guess its just practice practice practice

    i really hate this game at the minute. constantly getting outdrawn, running big into big and coming out wrong end, then proceeding to donk a little more away.

    totally unsure of how much i will play today. time for catch up folks
