well I wont give out exact figures anymore because certain people I know in real life know my forum names and are following me across different forums to see how I do.
I do not want these people to know how I do because its lose lose, If I fail or fall short they will think me a loser look down on me and I will be shamed.
should I succeed they will be playing gold digger trying however they can to take advantage and see what they can get, I dont need or want that hassle.
so as loosely as I can mention it I am making progress and moving up stake levels, and roll although the success rate is not as fast as I would like if I continued at this rate barring rake hikes industry changes etc there is no reason I could not reach the top levels especially with the latest break through.
(I am not revealing the latest break through even with a gun to my head but it will significantly elevate my game)
However why am I not as fast as I would like few reasons
1. I found trouble getting table ninja working with the current client and getting 200 games in an hour like I thought does not seem doable without table ninja I am managing between 70 and 120 depending on traffic and other factors.
2. I find it hard to motivate myself to play the swings are brutal I am going up but my graph looks like a heart monitor. if you look at certain sections of my graph its not really easy to see if I am winning or losing its just up and down violently, however a long term perspective we can see an upward trend.
I am playing the highest variance games that can realistically be found online. so I should expect this but its hard to cope emotionally with the swings.
3. trying to memorize such amounts of data and get so many different spots right is a lot harder then I thought it would be and yet the competition even at the bottom stakes seems to have a lot stronger grasp of it then I thought they would.
I am recognizing mistakes the regs are making some of it marginal and other times I suspect collusion. However I cant rule out tilt misclicks or ignorance all three of which have affected me into making wrong plays before but I am getting better at reducing that.
the 2% i believed in is but a myth none of the regs seem able to hit that anymore and now 1.4- 1.6% is a very good win rate.
Ideally I want to hit the middle level games by the end of may because that would put me on good pace to get SN. I think it unlikely to get SNE this year but with hard work volume and patience maybe getting a few hundred thousand vvps and an extra milestone or two bonus would be achievable. putting me in a good position to push for SNE in 2016.
My issue is How do I motivate myself against the wild swings, when I know SNE could be scrapped entirely by year end of greatly reduced and UK could face a change that could kill the games in just a few months.
this is not saying that will happen but I realize the possibility and its hard to push on when I know it could all be for nothing. sure a few thousand pound extra may not seem for nothing but I would still be stuck doing the same job etc and living the same life style. I guess I could put it down on a mortgage but in reality with what I know about the economy and math I view a mortgage to be on level with day trading in terms of risk. if I could get to the point where mortgage is cheaper then rent then its a no brainier but otherwise its reckless.
so my ultimate point is how to motivate myself and keep level when I fear changes that could kill it and the swings are so brutal?
