Profitability of the Mixed Gamesby SmokingDough, January 14
Lately Ive been wondering more and more about what the mixed games play like. Im not an amazing mixed game player by any standards but I kno the basics of all of them. Ive been playing NLHE for so long now and its getting a bit boring. Same old stuff, Overpair vs Set blah blah blah.
Im not sure how many LPers actually play Mixed games but my main question is how profitable you guys think the mixed games (Horse/7game/8game) are at the lower stakes say from .5/1 - 3/6? Are there actually a lot of regulars at these levels? Do you think that if one were to study these games for a few months they could have a small winrate? I would think a fish in the mixed games also would be 10x worse than a NLHE fish. Also what do you think will happen in the future of the mixed games? Do you guys think that with all the big pros sort of migrating over to Mixed games that the rest one day will follow?
$2 180.. Mid January updateby [GiTM]-Ace, January 14
Yep well So far hasn't been going as well As Id hoped. Not to happy with the results But I don't really mind them to much since I try not to pay attention to them anyway. But I set a goal for myself to atleast do 1400 by now doing 100 sngs a day but i failed. HOpefully I can still hit my monthly goal of 2.5k... I'm really shooting for 3k but I'm not sure If I'm rdy for that just yet.But 2.5k I should get as long as I don't become a lazy bum.
I'm also headed to Vegas this weekend to party with my boss and colleagues (I start work next Tuesday) and meet up with Corwin. Must... remain... responsible...
Moved to new appartment january 1st but left for canarie islands for vacation until january 9th.
So both the 9th and 10th became mostly moving stuff to the new appartment, its really sweet. 2 rooms 1 kitchen+bathroom 63m2, will prolly make some pictureish blogpost later on when its all finished its gonna be epic as soon as i get my 50'' TV too!
but i started the supernova 24 tabling 100NL grindament at the 10th and have been grinding 5 days now. ive played alot since i wanna finish in 45 days (written like a schedule on my comp to follow 2222 VPP / day ~ 5-6 hours/day at 100NL FR 24 tabling.
ive played alot these first 5 days, almost 10 hours/day and i like starting off hard since im pretty sick right now, nasty cold so i got alot of just dead time at the appartment so i try to grind alot. Im pretty much going at the phase atm to finish in like 30 days or less but ill keep at the 45 day goal so i can take some more time off for friends, gf and such!
13600 VPP in 5 days feels good and i decided to not look at my results more then once a week since thats not my main focus, just try to focus on playing solid poker to get this supernova shit done.
When i checked my results after 50k hands i was alittle shocked actually, felt like ive been running shit this whole time, but actually im doing pretty well for the first time 24 tabling.
Im not a fullring player in my soul, and i dont expect to win alot really during this grind rush for supernova. I just wanna get it done, im gtd 6000$ for bonuses/milestones, ill get supernova done and as long as i atleast breakeven im happy. since 6000$ is alot for me over just 45 days as it is.
but if i can win anything at the tables too that is just a great bonus.
This far im pretty happy w the results, if i can keep almost 3bb/100 over the next ~300k hands ill be very happy indeed !
Not the biggest sample for a FR masstable grinder, but if i can keep this rate maybe i will continue to FPP whore after supernova too, its really good money for me.
But the main plan was just to go back to the 200NL 6max/HU shots and try to improve as a player.
But we will see, its all about the moniez in the end

the guy with 74k chips went on to win....
also can someone tell me how to get upload a picture of the mtt lobby i just won, i print screen and try to upload on here but the file is too big.
So have logged an astounding 25k hands at nl2 and have about ~152 dollar profit which puts me just over 75% of the way to my 100 buy in challenge to myself. I think i have displayed enough discipline to myself to move up but I think I need to win the last 25 bi's cause i'm so close to the end. Also, once I have won the 100 bis i'll have a $223 bankroll which is about 45 buyins to play nl5. I think i'm going to try to win 50 buy ins at this limit now so i can have $473 when I start play NL5 deepstack on stars. True NL10's rake is ridiculous and I think i'll make about the same money playing deepstacked NL5 (.02/.05). Gonna grind a whole lot the next couple of days since i'm going back to school like 5 days early so hopefully my monday I can start with the NL5 games. That is all.

Lose 20 pounds in 3 monthsby mrpav.com, January 13
Hi guys, haven't been posting too many blogs these days because I like keeping poker results to myself. I have many sessions were I should of won more or had shit EV but whats the point of posting that in a blog. Who cares really since it happens to all poker players all the time. Anyways, I want to make a goal for myself to lose 20 pounds in 3 months. I'm currently at 225-227 pounds and want to get to 205 by April 13. So thats about 7 pounds per month. Going to add an extra 200 calories to it but this is what I got so far in terms of food. Also working out 3 days a week and two 1 hour cardio sessions. Wish me luck. I'll keep you updated. Also you guys want me to post some of my mexico pictures?
my month started day 7 cause I was still at my parents spending the summer
I didnt play anything in december, just some donkments on my laptop
trying to grind 2k hands/day since I'm back home
