I'm sorry it's not gone better, this afternoon was as rubbish as the past few. I just can't beat these idiots lately. I managed about an 11th in an $82 hyper wihich was $5k or so up top (would have been nice!).

Current roll: $2085

As agreed I am going to cut out a few of the bigger tourneys out of my schedule just to keep the variance down. It is obviously less profitable to do this but it was a part of the agreement in the OP as it encouraged people to invest. I'm going for a morning session tomorrow and from tomorrow until Monday I have a challenge vs Atkin of profit earned/games played. Not sure how we are going to declare a winner or what a forfeit will be. We have decided that if we manage to play enough tourneys (about 240 in 6 days) then it will automatically be a draw and no forfeit will be in place.

[lucky_scrote]

Regarding variance, it does suck. I could go on a tear tomorrow who knows, $3k is obviously quite a chunk of money but it's not colossal by any means. I am probably going to cut out all the $82 hypers and most of the $100 turbos (keep the hot 109 I think).

[lucky_scrote]

Had a couple of decent runs today and my confidence was good again. I kept out all the $100 turbos apart from the hot 109 and I also played the $109 regular (unmissable). I excluded all the $82 hypers as well but threw in the $77 turbo.

So far I have played 221 tournaments and I am down $3176.

I can only keep playing good and a $3k downswing isn't unusual, it's just a shame it had to happen at the start of this stake

I have no clue so it's an open question. Would it be better if we all re-load for a little more (back to $5k say) and you play the full original schedule ?

I'd like this but it probably isn't cool. Some people may have decided to invest knowing that I'd drop down a little if I started out on a downswing otherwise I'd potentially burn through the money too quick. I'm happy with $2k in the account for now, I'm only taking out 4 or 5 tournaments out of my schedule anyway so it's not like it's a massive drop.

My schedule costs around $1200 right now, so if I drop below that then I'll call for a reload. Investors can decide if I play a full schedule again or whatever.

Happy going with the flow but thought I'd put it out there

[lucky_scrote]

Servers on stars reset at midday meaning pretty much everything is turbo and hyper turbo. Since the schedule is a lot smaller I may give it a miss and play a small session in the evening instead.

[lucky_scrote]

Booted up an afternoon session after all. I will try not to play long otherwise I won't be able to get up in the morning tomorrow.

[lucky_scrote]

Although it's been brutal session #5 and I just busted 50th or something in the $8 2x with 8.5k UT I've got a few stacks deep in some 180's if anyone wants a rail.

1/8

4/18 atm

Oh noes! In case anyone missed it. Guy opening button opens first 40% of the time from all positions. He has to call off tight but he has it!
