How many tables you playing and therefore how many hours a month are you committing to poker while working full time?

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***
 

I put in 120k last month, 110k this month [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I hate poker so much right now.

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***
 

You guys are sick when it comes to hand totals, I have 16k this month LOL.

Next month I'm going for 30K, platinum, and the start of a Supernova-run...wooooooohooooo

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***

is there a way to see your own fold/raise/call continuation bet like you see others via PAH?

the problem i'm having is that it only gives me #'s for the current session, but i want my all time numbers.

ideas?

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe that if you change "your" name in PT to some other player, rebuild your PAH database/cache, and then sit at a table, your all-time stats should come up.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, its somewhere in the layout. I dont have PAHUD installed or I'd tell you... but the stat is something lik "myPFR" or "ownPFR". Duno exactly, but I defintiley had it working.

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***
 

I work full time and still pull 60k+ every month.

Good thing I didn't lose EVERY big pot played today, or else I'd be stuck much more than just $700.

best idea in the world really.

Youll begin to realize that
1 your win rate will skyrocket because youll play like every hand and player to perfection (granted you know what you are doing)
2. you skillset and thinking abilities will also increase as well as tilt control.
3 depending on how many tables you drop youd be surprised how much your hourly rate does nto suffer since your winrate will be so high
4 high winrate in general means low varaince (if you do it right) its really hard to have high winrates when you have downswings to often, ya dig?
5 regs will realize that you are watching very close and will not [censored] with you which leads to even higher winrate

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***
 

I run my own business, so probably put in close to 60 hours a week. Also raise Weimaraners, which takes a chunk of time each day and I have a pregnant wife. So I don't have alot of free time for anything.

Still get in around 40-45k hands a month right now just playing on my laptop. Hopefully will get to 50k without too much trouble soon, as my new 28" monitor is coming tomorrow. Be splitting my play up then some between my laptop and my desktop. Should be able to play a few more tables at a time using the 28" and one of the 20's I already have.

I have 8k more VPP's to hit Supernova, which I never thought was possible for me. Now I just need to learn how to actually play. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Boooooooooo poker.

$400+$40 sucked balls. Came in around 50/141. Once again was never able to build a big stack...lost an all in race, blah blah blah.

$200+20 sucked balls. Lost an all in race early, surprise surprise.

I am going to feel so pathetic if I don't get over 5 figs this month. If I dropped below it I will hurt myself.

Why, you may ask? Because I am getting $8,800 in bonuses.

LOL


DLM;

I know all these things and it is absolutely why I am doing it. I am doing a lot of things to improve my game that I am unfortunately not going to share w/ you guys :P. I want to be a 10/20 FR reg when it runs, a 5/10 reg at 6m, and a 3/6 or so reg at HU by the end of the year. Also, want to be beating 1/2 or 2/4 Omaha and playing some tourneys.

These are all 2008 goals of mine. I will still prob. be playing 80% FR because I basically need to grind out a couple 200k years before I'm 21 and I feel grinding 2/4(20-30%), 3/6(30-40%), and 5/10+ at FR may be the best way to do this. Regardless I will be mixing in the other games and hopefully just improving and becoming a well-known higher stakes winner. Actually, I don't give a [censored] about the well-known part, as all my SN's on the sites will all be unknown :P

I think you are going to realize how much you wasted your first semester at college when you look back on it. I mean, grinding 8 hours a day can't have left you much time to meet new people anyways and I know you don't go out to parties because you're a whipped SOB. I regret not going to enough parties my freshman year and not meeting too many people outside my dorm and I went out 2-3 times a week every single week. There is just so much stuff to do, people to hang out with, girls to bang that you are missing.

Uhm.

Whipped SOB does not compute to mean parties. It would be fine if I met her and was a partier/etc, but I mean I never partied before and that is how she has always known me so I don't think starting to party would be her idea of awesome.

Also, all the girls here are ugly. ALL of them. I would have to drink to want to bang any of these cows. It is disgusting.

Guaranteed 5k &gt; Maybe 5k in wins.

I genuinely shouldn't be winning as little as I am, I am not actually playing horribly or anything. I mean not less than I regularly would, as I think tops the amount I am playing might take .5bb/100 or so off my winrate.

As for the life, it really doesn't bother me as much as you guys might think. Throughout high school I was the biggest socialite there was. I was one of the most well-known people and hung out with everyone. I went out and did more than anyone else in the school, literally(Mainly because I had money to be able to go out and eat/etc every night and do different things).

The college life is different my first year. Really there isn't anything to do at this small and crappy school. I am going to start working out an hour or two a day, but other than that there aren't parties nightly and there isn't anything else going on. Parties are basically reserved for frat/sororities, and I don't feel like paying to hang out with a bunch of idiots(You have to admit most frats are filled with idiots). I will go to more parties and all next year, but seriously I think I will just rent a place and host "parties" on game nights/etc with my friends. I think I will find this more enjoyable right now. If I am single, obviously I would spend more time trying to find girls and all, but as of right now, being not-single, I am not interested in cheating on the g/f.


As for the "whipped" thing since I usually just go along with it. I am actually not very whipped. I would be in Canada if my situation were different and I was home. The reason I am not going out to Canada is because I see her on the occasional weekend and this will be my only time home(winter break). Other than that, there isn't much she has ever told me not to do. I don't think she would appreciate me going out to frat parties and stuff, but I don't think it would be that big of a deal really.

My "night life" will begin when I am 21 and I move to Vegas and have VIP status in every club there [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Me and her kinda plan on breaking up then(or by then), so hit me up then.

Re: ***Official November Chat Thread: The Golden Duck***
 

Prodigy I'll offer a different perspective.

I spent years of my younger life partying (I'm 29 now) and I regret not doing something a little more productive. I look back at some of the things I did that were cool and funny at the time and now they just seem silly and stupid.

You know what you want (I read your thread in F.I.B) and you have a good head on your shoulders.

And now I feel really, really old.
