    180 yearly grind

    decided to start a log to document my yearly grind of 180's will try and update as much as possible starting with last months grind.As you'll see it was my worst month ever since starting to play 180's seriously in january last year. really happy with the volume i put in and should be getting the same amount if not more games every month from now on.



    will use this thread for posting some hand histories aswell from time to time and if anyone wants to ask any questions fire away.

          Some volume you put in, its needed though I suppose, huge variance in these. Good luck, will definitely be keeping an eye on this.

            Turn that graph upside down looks fine

            Instead of just ploughing on when in a downswing do you not reduce games
            reduce tables see if you can plug some leaks?

            If you are millions of tourney chips below -ev then its fine.
            However mass multitabling one can get sloppy and mistakes can creep in.

              i've reduced tables from 30 down to 20 for a while to give myself some more time to think decisions through etc and review hand histories from the night before every morning before i start playing. imo most of the downswing last month was completely standard and was just coming out the wrong side of coolers/flips on FT's especially 15's. i was still making tons of FT's and running deep etc.

                    Pokerprolabs has you in profit for $6.5k over the last 30 days playing 180s but your graph has you down $5k for the same amount of games/time?

                        Ah right was wondering who was more off! I checked the graph a while ago when you said you played 250 a day and was thinking you were flying! Just goes to show how much they can be off over the space of a month

                                    Hah funny ya mention me i just had my longest ever session yesterday (20hrs,, realised in the middle of the grind it was turbo night so didnt wanna miss them )
                                    Just never been so motivated + since getting coaching im alot more comfortable in mtts so adding alot more of them in which helps me reg longer. Started the year on the SS leaderboard aswel and wanna stay there, seeing the work ethic some of the 180 regs have put in and the success there having now in mid + high stakes makes me feel very lazy about what ive accomplished so far.

                                        wow that's a pretty sick you played half of what I played last month yesterday yeah noticed you on the ss leader boards gl with that also. True about the work ethic of other 180 regs esp LilBigKahuna he is a sicko. The most I have played in one month is like 1600 which is not great plan on at least 2k games this month.

                                        Edit: Bump on the month long prop, set that shit up would be fun and might motivate me to do some good volume.

                                          Going to ask a very vague question but so be vague with the answers (would it be $3.50?)

                                          How much would you expect a decent 16 tabling 180 reg with an ABI of $10 who plays 30 hours a week to earn over a year?

                                            i honestly wouldnt have a clue you would need someone smarter than me to answer that, LH should be able to answer it imo

                                            edit: can't answer that
                                            30 hours a week doesn't say anything about volume
                                            and decent doesn't say anything about roi

                                                Gl man, i'm with you on your downswing along with your motivation to grind out of it.
                                                Been putting in a lot of work myself lately especially on my mental game alongside daily review and analysis.

                                                I've a copy of Jared Tentlers ebook "The Mental Game Of Poker" if you want it, aimed specifically at pros. Has a tonne of helpful material.

                                                Month long prop sounds good but nothing drastic.

                                                  20% roi would be shit hot the way the 180s have gone recently so $2 per game. You can work out for yerself how many games that might be.

                                                            havent updated this in ages, havent played the amount of volume i was hoping for this month, with loads of birthdays and have had internet problems for the past week.

                                                            graph for whole month so far




                                                            hoping to reach at least 3k games before the month is over.

                                                                                goals for march are

                                                                                - final table a an mtt on stars

                                                                                  also as some extra incentive for the month, if i don't hit 5k games for the month i will review 3 hand histories for anyone who plays 180's and would like some of their games reviewed, so if your interested in that first one to quote this wins i guess.

                                                                                  Comment

                                                                                        it seem that they are way off with my results or it could be something to do with $3r's.
                                                                                        either way its pissing me off that its off in some way as i eventually wanted to get on the leaderboards on there.

                                                                                        yesterday was very frustrating despite have a decent enough win, i ran terrible for most of the day on $15 ft's and it was till my last 20 or so tables that i started to heater a little.
                                                                                        saturdays are just as good as sundays for playing imo as the fish are out in their thousands, any sort of run good and it could turn into a very good day.

                                                                                              in regards tables im comfortable enough playing 20-30 tables it sometimes gets above that and i cant handle it very well then. if i go on some sort of huge downer i drop tables to 20 and focus more on them.
