2012: It is Time

 

There are two people in my life I am eternally grateful for, my two heroes. The first one is obvious and everybody knows who it is. It is Hokie. The second one is maybe not quite as obvious to those of you reading this but he is (along with Hokie) the reason I am still playing poker for a living today and will be for years to come. It is Jared Tendler.

I take back my apology

Since Ryan was posting a few graphs earlier this week in his most recent blog posting, “Graph Porn” I figured now was as good a time as any to post a couple of mine as well. 

PT3 uses chips, not actual dollar amounts which makes the graph more accurate overall, as running better or worse in certain buy-ins doesn’t affect your graph. This is best for HU SNG players as your decisions should be based on effective stacks and never on the buy-in you are playing. This is my Lock ev graph (about 80% of my games are super turbos):

Coaching Update

I am so sorry for the epic delay on this. I 100% will have the page up by tomorrow night. Everything is figured out and done now, finally. There will be an audio from me describing the coaching along with a few links. I will also list references and testimonials from other students. It is definitely going to be a coaching system that has never been done before (at least as far as I know) but I think it will prove to be for the best.

I have a new hyper-turbo video series coming out. The first vid should be up in a few days at the latest. Thanks for being so patient with me guys and I look forward to working with you!

Bye Bye Hypers/Coaching update

Sigh..so I have decided to quit hypers. I just need to control my variance more and play lower variance games. I reset my sharkscope because 95% of my games were hypers and I was about 100 buyins below ev, so it obv wasn't pretty. I usually hate resetting/blocking sharkscope for any reason. Given how misrepresented I felt my sharkscope was because of hyper turbo variance I decided to reset. You will never see PHMERC in a hyper turbo again, that's a fact. I might still play some on Lock poker (not resetting there) because the structure is a little deeper and more beatable (less variance) since they start at 30bbs instead of 25bbs like Stars. However I will have 95% of my games on Lock be non-hypers and 100% of my games on Stars be non-hypers. That's really all I have to say about that.

Argentina!

So I'm officially moved in and set up in Harthor's house in Argentina. It is fucking awesome. Like I said before I have worked with Harthor online basically every day since I started taking poker seriously (he bought coaching from Hokie like right after I moved in with Hokie). Being with him in person is just epic +ev. I am still running really bad but poker is fun again because I'm with somebody who I respect very much pokerwise and in real life as a friend. I couldn't ask for a better situation for myself right now. I do plan on moving back to the US (probably with Harthor) when online poker is legalized and up and running again. That is going to be a 2nd boom like 2007 and I wouldn't miss it for the world.
