The Best In The Business

[pleno1]

I think 3-5/1 is fair I don't mind how much I bet really.

I don't think supernova elite will stunt my poker growth (notice I have to put poker in to stop beanie!) it will just make me play the hours required to play "professionally" I will still sit at tables from 200-anything in stars and game select well.

Cotpntinuous 8 tabe zoom grinding and dropping tables when good higher stake action runs is good. Also will play a considerable amount of 500 which with zoom hph is going to be the nuts. 1k and even 2k/5k zoom sometimes runs too

Also supernova elite opens the door for potentially applying for poker stars team online which would be amazing. They want people who make content, articles/videos and obviously play online so I'd love to pursue that.

You quitting MTTs?

pretty massive goal, you think going for SNE on stars is better than just playing the euros with a good RB deal?

[SuuPRlim]

also remember that the most value in SNE is in getting it again the next year, so it's gotta be a 2 or 3 yr commitment if you wanna make the most out of it, cos the following year you basically get like 82% rb or something

Hey what's up? I've had a bunch of pgc threads before but they were mainly 1-4 week MTT challenges.


Anybody who knows me properly will tell you I'm a cash game player. I've been playing for around 6 years with a lot of up and downs. I moved to Gibraltar to work for pokerstrategy.com about 3 years ago and since have lived in Gib, Spain and the surrounding areas. 3 months ago I decided to move to Hungary with my Hungarian (ya brag moar I know!) and our three dogs.

The last 6-9 months I've been pretty lazy with grinding, I think it was because I was semi secure financially and had v little outgoings (gf owns the place we live in) meaning I never had to be motivated to grind.

I have no doubt bout my passion and motivation towards poker a s a whole but outside of poker is what lets me down. I like to browse the Internet, I like to stay up too late and I like to sleep in a lot!! I have a terrible diet and from being on the verge of being a professional footballer I am really unfit now.

I think one of the main reasons people fail at supernova elite is because of the wrong mindset and the way they approach it.

Over the next 3 months I am going to be preparing myself to get ready to give this a huge shot.

I will be playing 100-500 Zoom and will always play between 4-8 tables.

Short term goals

- play 2 hours of 8 tables of zoom in a day
- play 4 hours of 8 tables of zoom in a day
- play 7 hours in a day of 8 tables and write a report on how it felt
- play 7 hours a day for 3 days in a row and write about how it felt
- play 7 hours a day for 5 days out of 7 and write about it
- play 7 hours a day for 5 days out of 7 (for two weeks 10/14) and write about it
- play 7 hours a day for 5 days out of 7 (for 4 weeks 20/28) and write about it

So to summaries I want to teach myself to 8 table comfortably which I feel I'm already at the stage of but not,sure about for longer sessions. Then when I feel comfortable start going for sne "pace" for short periods of time. I will gradually build the pace up in the trial runs until I feel very confident.

I will be trying different things ie 2+3+2 vs 4+3 etc.

At the whole time of this I will be very focused on winrate. Last year I had a sample of 200k hands with one of the most competitive win rates in the world. Ill be looking to be able to beat these games. Breakeven is not going to be an option here. I want to motivate myself to be THE crusher in these games whilst reaching SNE for personal satisfaction, pride, challenge and $$$$$.

Like I said previously 99% of guys who go into SNE could most likely do it. What I think lets them down is their ability to plan and prepare in advance rather than switching on their pc on January 1st and starting to grind.

[pleno1]

huh didnt get that? If I called her Ingrid on 2p2 they wouldnt know and was suggesitng why I chose Maygar!

[Pinchop73]

I think you should try to achieve that which matters most.

[NEWY]

Presume u meant to say "my Hungarian girlfriend" but u forgot the girlfriend bit. You call her "my Hungarian" which in my own head seemed funny.... Just me then......... Next hand please

[redsimon]

Great quoting tekkers NEWY I thought for a minute you'd moved to Hungary

[pleno1]

Played just a few hours today 4 tabling whilst doing some stuff. Pretty low attention wise but decent results. Was just 4 tables of 200.

Will also be posting football bets and keeping them updated on here. I think I've posted maybe 30 bets on blonde lifetime and would be up over 30 points (lol sample size) but I obviously have this fishy image in TFT. I will post them and run a score.

I'm very interested in the half time/full time bets and think the draw/weaker time lines are often pretty good so will e looking into some form of teams over the next week.

Don't think you have a fishy image as such, but quite often your bets relate to Newcastle, so consequently they carry less weight.

Best of luck with your challenges mate, looking forward to railing them.

Most of my expertise is Newcastle though. I watch every minute of every game and know everything about it, Id be far more qualified that say commentating on Norwich vs whoever.

Ok so going to try to add soe structure tomorrow.

It's late now, 4:30am I went for food today at 9 finished at 12 and then for 4 hours I did absolutely nothing. Just so unconsturctive and going to bed/grinding would have been so much better but just put it off. Frustrating.

So tomorrow

10.30 -> wake up walk dogs have some light breakfast, feed dogs

12 -> grind 4 tables of zoom  for 2 hours with a 10 minute break 

2.30 >  go for lunch, feed dogs, walk dogs

4 > play main day session 8 tables for 3 hours with 2 10 min breaks

7.30 > go for dinner and some drinks with friends. Feed dogs, walk dogs

11 > play 2-3 hours of 4 tables

This is what the stucture of the day should look like. Often Ingrid will be home so dinner and lunch will be made by her and thus those hours invested elsewhere.

Lets see if we can get close to that routine tomorrow.

Think you're feeding the dogs too much...
