October 8th #HEATWAVE#FAQ #EVBUCKS

#HEATWAVE#s'all bout the EVBUCKS

If you've been following my blog for the past week you know I've done nothing but run hot hot hot. 

Today was little to that exception. 

Since I've been cutting down tables recently playing a mixture of 6-8 tables instead of flat out 8-tabling it's been affecting my win rate in a positive fashion but VPP count in a negative fashion.

That being said. . as my volume is 8k hands. . I'm going to crank out another few more hours before I head to bed; nonetheless as it is the end of Oct-8th here in Van~ I shall update

Why Don't I stop 8-tabling putting in SNE volume?

Making SNE this year and making 900k VPP will be difference of about 45k this is accounting for (5x multiplier following year) ; 20k milestone.

But wouldn't the increase in WR negate the difference by volume?

If I cut volume in half. (200k hands a month) for next 3 months. 600k hands to make 45k = 7.5bb/100 difference. I'm not going to increase my winrate by 7.5 bb/100.

Oh but what if you ended up moving up!

Okay I'll humor you; let's say I move to 200nl-ZOOM I'll need to average 3.75bb/100 for remainder of year with that volume. Oh but wait. . that's a very achievable winrate for most players! . . not. 

So you're keeping up with the SNE grind?

Too late to turn back now. I'm at 753k VPPs for the year. Even if I "stopped doing SNE volume" and cut it down I'll still end the year with 850k-900k VPPs. . which is 90% of the way there.

So no life for the next couple months?

Time Management. If ANYONE needs to sacrifice life in order to play poker. . either they really are passionate/obsessed about the game or . . . . . [insert insulting word of choice]
