Alright guys, thanks again for your continued support in my quest here! I really appreciate it!

Still unsure what to do about live streaming...but we will get it back once again! So far, these are my 2 options:

1) Live stream everything as usual, but DO NOT look at the chat at all, and don't commentate about hands or all ins or anything. Just stream, and act like I am not. That sounds dull to me.

2) Do the 1 hour a night thing...maybe switch the time that it airs so that people of different time zones can all see some "episodes"? Maybe something like Mon/Wed/Fri is 7p EST....Tue/Thu/Sat is 10a Est...or something like that.

I'm open for suggestions guys! Whatever you think would be best, and most intereesting. The reason I think option 2 is best is because you guys will have my full attention during that 1 hour. However, the reason that option 1 might be best is because I will be streaming way more often.

Sooooooo that's it...started the month behind pace as usual, but I needed a semi-day off after tough January. Played only 4 hours yesterday earning 5K vpps and $900 EV dollars. (Actual lost me $1,500)

I was very happy with this start though, because EV is all that I truly care about. After playing 500K+ hands a month, actual and EV come out to about the same amount ~95% of the time. In addition, I felt very, very good about yesterdays session. Keeping my tables down to 20, and playing when I wanted made it fairly easy to play better. And also, no streaming made it 1,000x easier, which I didn't realize when I was streaming :)

GL at the tables today guys!

Why not combine both options? Turn the live stream on any time you're playing but only interact with the railers for an hour or whatever. That way those that are just watching to see if your gf gets naked in the background can tune in all the time and you still get to talk to your public without ruining your game. You could even set up a little board or something with the time of day you're planning on interacting. You know something like "Don't forget to come back a 6PM EST to talk poop with Poopy".

sounds to me like you have to many fans to not stream live so doing #1 one is best but then add #2 to the mix :)

continued good luck in your goal and your life :)

I'm with WVH here. Option 1 may sound dull to people but if people are going to watch it, then whatever. I enjoyed watching while I'm working or playing online anyway and just chatting to the people in the chatbox and playing the home games etc. Then for an hour or so or after sessions/before session/ during break you can chat to people give us updates do the coaching type thing you were planning on or whatever. The stream doesn't have to and shouldn't negatively affect your playing, by simply streaming and not interacting, you should be ok. Would also be cool if you had one of your tables on screen like you did for a period with hole cards covered to give us something to watch apart from you just sitting there, but like I say, combining seems the best option.

Poopy I don't have a problem with you Just doing option 1. A good number of us that watched spent a good amount of time just conversing about other games and joining in games together. It was a good place to have live chat with people you play with regularly. CC is good but there is no live chat about what is going on. I vote for option 1 and if you want to interact 1 hour a day that's fine if you don't that is fine too.

I am currently playing between 2/4nl to 5/10nl with some dabbling in 10/20nl...all 6max...I always play 20 tables, if I get excited, 24. I have a 30" widescreen monitor flanked by 2 20" monitors that are vertically flipped. I am actually uploading a video onto my blog that shows my monitor setup as I type this! check here if you wanna see it, but it's gonna take about 45 more minutes :) http://www.kevinpflug.blogspot.com

Gl guys :)


Are you serious? 20 tables at 10/20nl? You're either a millionaire who doesn't mind losing money or some sort of Rainman genius.

If you can even brake even playing that many tables, at those limits, you have my utmost respect.

Random question - did you notice your Supernova Elite bonus apply to the VPPs you earned yesterday (February 1st)? I'm not 100% sure but I think the VPPs I got that day had my little +50% from silverstar added. Would be sorta sick if you got 5x VPP yesterday ;)

I think both 1 and 2 would be good also. Maybe have Alek come on periodically, when she has time, and give updates.

I was streaming it at work .. I listen to Pandora anyway, the poker commentary was bonus =)

I vote for option 1 and if you want to interact 1 hour a day that's fine if you don't that is fine too.

Yea, I chose option 1 and we had our first day back yesterday. ~10 viewers max, but I think that was because not many people knew we were back up and running.

Are you serious? 20 tables at 10/20nl? You're either a millionaire who doesn't mind losing money or some sort of Rainman genius.

If you can even brake even playing that many tables, at those limits, you have my utmost respect.

There's not enough 10/20 running to 20 table it yet. I only dabble to 10/20 when i'm feeling confident and there's not enough tables between 2/4 to 5/10nl. However, I do hope to make 10/20 and 25/50 my regular games as my bankroll grows.

As for winning while 20 tabling, yes, I have been doing it for years. Although I lost a whopping 13K last month while doing it (I blame it on talking too much on JTV chat), I can confidently say that I will make 30k+ on the tables this month :)

Random question - did you notice your Supernova Elite bonus apply to the VPPs you earned yesterday (February 1st)? I'm not 100% sure but I think the VPPs I got that day had my little +50% from silverstar added. Would be sorta sick if you got 5x VPP yesterday ;)

Hmmmmmm unfortunately, I only got my normal vpps :( That would have been really, really, really awesome lol.

Yeaa as said, I be doin' numero uno. Lovin' the pandora recommendations thank you!

GL at the tables today guys, I wanna get 450K vpps this month so that I can be first to SNE by getting their by end of March. Also, the blog has been updated and is looking really good now with a new vpp pace bar graph, so don't forget to check it out!

Kinda sick watching this webcam.

What is this programme that is displaying your real time stats? bb/100, profit and vpp counter etc?

Good luck, this is one hell of a grind, I guess you have a good state of mind to stay focused all the time playing for hours on end.

The program is called Holdem G Stats. If you download it, you have to click the popout window pip on top right for it to work.

TY for the good luck wishes guys, I'm starting to crush again! And luck went great yesterday...hoping for a real big weekend here, and maybe some big MTT scoring!

GL at the tables today,
Poopy :boxing:

Quick update on Pokerpoopy's behalf. He says he doesn't update the thread since he's the last one who posted....Maybe he's just too lazy.. :)

Anyways, Pokerpoopy has moved to a new site. He's no longer on blogger.

His site is simply, pokerpoopy.com

Check it out and post in this thread, so he will post here.

the new site is awesome, ty matt!!

So guys yea, I haven't updated because I thought the way forums worked is you wait till other people say something till you update again lol. I guess from now on I'll just update anyway :)

We completed the January goal of 300K vpps. This month of February is going to be much harder due to 28 days, and also because I got a bit sick again already. So I'm behind pace...have to play about 10-12 hours a day till end of Feb to get to 600K for the year.

If and when I hit that benchmark, I will be very pleased because I know that come March, I will crank out the VPPS, get 400K more of them, and have completed my first supernova elite! That will be 25% there and will def feel like the ball has begun rolling.

I'm +~7K so far at the tables this month, but I should be right at $0 profit with EV accounted for. So I'm getting lucky so far, but breakeven is fine with me! Hopefully I can start winning though...it really sucks not being able to beat the game anymore lol.

OK guys before this gets too long, hope you are all having a successful year, looking forward to hearing from you guys!

Do you have any info on your competition?
Looks like Isildur1 is playing like a couple 100 5600$ HUSnG's a day.
Might be difficult to beat if he continues.
