New Life!

Posted by Fossilkid93 on August 5th, 2010. Tagged:

Well, as some of you know there was a huge Chinese cheating ring terrorizing the double or nothing SNGs in early 2010 (and much of 2009 as well). This caused many of the regulars in those games to suffer terrible results and wonder what the hell was going. See my earlier posts in this blog to get into my mind before I knew about the cheating. It seemed like I was playing well enough to be at least a slight winner in those games, but I was losing my ass and couldn't figure out why. When the cheating scandal was revealed, it finally made more sense.

Decent Progress So Far

I'm at 430k VPP right now, and I think I was at 393k as of my last blog post on 8/5, so I'm fairly happy with my progress, but feel I can play a lot more consistently than I have been. I'd like to be playing at least two 3-hour sessions per day, but a lot of times I just end up with only 3 or 4 hours played. So, on the one hand I'm happy that I've been able to keep pace for SNE without really straining myself all that much, but on the other hand I'm a bit disappointed that I've slacked off when I could be getting myself a bit ahead of the pace I need to make SNE.

Potential Prop Bet

So I'm trying to put a prop bet together on 2+2 for September that would help out a lot on my quest for SNE, but would also require a TON of work. Basically, I will have to play 10,000 $52-$108 buy-in DoNs in September AND show a profit. The volume alone will be pretty tough b/c it will require over 200 hours of poker and I don't think I've put in more than 150 or 160 in the last 3 years. On top of that, when playing all the time you just aren't as sharp as you are when you can cherrypick to play only when you feel like it.
