attention and a following he can point to would be my guess based on this statement in a prior post.

I haven't been in contact with pokerstars yet. I am going to wait until I have a big enough following that they will understand how profitable it will be for them.

heck I was watching him eat dinner last night with the web cam...forums are a great way to get people involved

I wonder if you have joined any other forums recently in hopes of attracting more followers?

Caught up in this thread

Best wishes for your long successful run.:congrats: I'm subscribed. Can't even imagine 24 tableing, let alone 10 hrs a day, and 310 days a year. My head would explode/ implode...not sure which.

Well I'm not sure exactly how sure...I've been doing this for my job for about 8 years now so I'm def a veteran at it...probably after year 2 I was 12 tabling already...soooo the last 6 years I've been between 12 and 24 tables...I think I'm really good at it bc of my video game background.

Yeah, I can definitely see skill sets transferring over from serious Starcraft players to multitabling. If poker took off in South Korea... :eek:

Keep on grindin' it man!

Out of curiousity, what's the worst downswing/runbad you've encountered, and how did you deal with shaking it off?

Yea, CC is full of beginners. Sure we have some good players, but most are just starting and learning a lot of the basics.

Plus like johnboy said he really likes CC, so he's not trying to upset anybody.....

He has nothing but good things to say about CC.

You guys should check out the feed. It's pretty cool. Got a couple of CC'ers there, cool convo (except for a few trolls). Decent soundtrack too. Check it out.

Elky was a professional Starcraft player until transitioning over to poker.

I took a look a the feed and I'm just amazed on how many tables he can play at once!! Me, I'm happy that I can do 4 tables some days.

I do have one question that you've partially answered but I want to expand on. Do you take any vitamins or supplements such as ginseng or something else? Oh and good luck on your quest!!!

Dude, I am sorry if I offended, totally didn't mean to. Got nothing but love for this site, and it's actually really exciting to run into a new player base as I can offer alot of knowledge :) GL

Out of curiousity, what's the worst downswing/runbad you've encountered, and how did you deal with shaking it off?

Worst downswing I had was losing 50K in 1 day, actually...lol. It was back when I was 6 tabling 25/50nl on partypoker....but this was after I made 71K the day before :) swings are big at those tables :)

You deal with shaking it off by saying "ok, don't care about this short term success/loss, all I care about is the numbers at the end of the year."

That's about it :)

I do have one question that you've partially answered but I want to expand on. Do you take any vitamins or supplements such as ginseng or something else? Oh and good luck on your quest!!!

I don't take any supplements of any kind..I believe in raw plant food. Every vitamin and supplement I need during the day I get in the green smoothies you guys see me drink :) Between kale, apples, banana, lemon, raw almond butter, and mixed berries...It pretty much covers most of that stuff in a natural, whole plant food way.

I think there are a few that are missing if you JUST drank that...but you can get them by eating a variety of plants/vegetables. As you can tell...i'm big into raw plant food diets. Hard not to answer without being preachy, so sorry if I sounded preachy!

I guess that's it guys, thanks to everyone for joining the live stream, hope to see a bunch of you there again today!!

Oh yea and update- I lost $4,400 yesterday. A pretty large number, but EV wise it was only suppose to be a $70 loss. Soooo that's some run bad for ya right there. How do I deal with it? Just keep trucking on and getting to the long term :) Oh and I played for 15 hours and made 15.5K vpps.

Gl at the tables today!!

Hopped on (into?) the stream last night for a while--so much fun, and definitely could become addicting!

Pokerpoopy, like others I am so impressed with your skill in simultaneously playing and talking about different hands on all those tables, interacting in a personal and very real way with all your visitors, carrying on a conversation with your lovely GF, maintaining your overall attitude, spirit and more. You've certainly raised the bar on what multi-tasking means. :)

Does your GF play poker? Speaking of her, since I am a gal too I was wondering whether she was up for some questions.

She is definitely up for some questions that sounds great! :) She does play poker, she's trying to get a lil more into it lately with some MTT action. But definitely ask away, she'd be more then happy to answer :)

OK, so I dropped $7K the last 2 days! Not very fun, but you can't win all the time. It brought my profit at the tables for the year to -$2K. EV says I should be at +$1K, so we're only running a teeny bit bad so far for the whole year.

Currently at 150K vpps, so we're catching up slowly...but pace is 210K by the end of today. I hope to be at least around 160K by end of tonight, so 50K behind isn't so bad. At least I'm catching up...2 days ago I was 70K behind!

Soooooo overall this year, with the rakeback + the negative profit, I am +$13K for the year so far. That is about 8K less then pace, but $ is $ :)

GL at the tables today guys!

Thx kevrewis!!!

ok update yesterday we ended about +$2K...a nice lil turn around. 16 tabled only though bc my confidence was low after the first 2 days of prop bet and losing $7k. VPPs are at 158.5K...to get to 300K by end of Jan. 31st, we need ~14K per day...which is still gonna be about 12-13 hours a day everyday...

This is possible! Happy Saturday everyone, gl at the tables today! We will be live all day at http://www.justin.tv/pokerpoopy

Love Always,
Poopy

Poops, do you think if jorj95 or wizard put you to the test this year and gave you a challenge, would you be able to beat them for total vpps this year?
