JaysonWeber 0 Posted April 17, 2005 Author Share Posted April 17, 2005 Allright, This isn't an entire day yet just 600+ hands from 2 hours this morning. I've literally spent about an hour on the phone with Eurobet over the last week, all because of an underscore it comes to find out! So they call me as I was getting ready to hit the sack (5:30 am). Well they fixed it... I can throw my money on.I decided I'd start with $500, I threw $400 in and I get $100 after 1k raked hands. I could start with more so I could jump from .5/1 to 1/2 faster but... I think I'm going to 4 table .5/1 for a while. If I'm busy I can knock it down to 2 and then 1/2... I'll stay near the 300bb for one table as well.So here we go! Talk about a lovely first session....I'll blog and I saved 3 hand numbers I'll post on here as well, its just that its been 40 hours since I've slept and well I am tired.675 Hands played - 6:40 - 8:40 AM - 4 Tabling EurobetVp%IP - 9.48PF Raise % - 4.74Won % At SD % - 58.33BB/100 - 3.23Thats not even a lie. yeah 675 hands is nothing, but a boring nothing! Anyways I grinded it ou and came out averaging 3.23 bb/100 after 2 hours... Now I just gotta do it for a long while longer.I won't go into detail about the hands I'll post, hopefully this is just a 3 hour nap and I'll be back and ready to clear the rest of the bonus.The blog will be updated tonight as well with all of this.

Guest Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 675 Hands played - 6:40 - 8:40 AM - 4 Tabling EurobetVp%IP - 9.48PF Raise % - 4.74Won % At SD % - 58.33BB/100 - 3.23Please tell me this VP$IP is unusually low. Even when running very poorly I'm not sure if I've ever had a VP$IP this low for a period of 675 hands. If this is normal, why are you so tight? I thought a "reasonable" VP$IP is somewhere in the range of 16-20%?Regardless, the numbers look profitable so if it's working I can't knock it too much can I?Can't wait for the handsZara Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Man it was a very slow day to say the least, I had a VP$IP of 11% on UB after 4k Hands!I stick to the SSHE Pre-Flop Tight Chart, if I run 24% or 10% depends on the cards, I can almost guarantee it'll be 16-17% by the end of this thing.

Good lord it must be boring to fold that much 16-17% is definitely far more reasonable and what I would expectZaraP.S. You got 4,000 hands in one day? How many tables and how long were you playing?

wrto4556 0 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 im up to $1,800.After lots of hands. 4,000 maybe? Link to post Share on other sites
JaysonWeber 0 Posted May 1, 2005 Author Share Posted May 1, 2005 I'm certainly behind everyone playing .5/1 to start. I just get fed-up with .5/1 and Im going to break my promise of sticking with it until I get to 1k. Started with 400 and It'll take a Coons age to get to 1k, just not WORTH the time.This is only from Party right? We can't count money made on other sites? Thats the way I'm doing it anyways.

KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I think its only party. I've been meaning to give a new post for almost a week now, but I've been in a downswing. Its been around 115 BBs, but the total's been around $650-700. Its more just a new threshold of money that I have to get over. I can't wait until; 5/10 though 1K swings woohoo Link to post Share on other sites
Whatever 1 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Started with $500 3 weeks ago to the day. Up to $1170 but have been a little stalled out lately. Mostly $1/2 with some $2/4 mixed in.$1734 as of 5/14/05 after a week of 5 tabling .5/1 at PS to clear the bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
Scruff 0 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Sorry if I'm out of line here, not sure . . . please don't flame, a simple reprimand will do :-)I don't have a blog, but I want to play, even if it doesn't count. What are the rules for this $5k challenge? I assume you start with a certain amount and have to build it up to $5K, from what I can tell, only Party Poker is allowed? I'm game, just wondering what the rules are . . . Link to post Share on other sites
