40k In 2010

[lurbz 2]

Inspired by Phil's goal, I'm setting a realistic one for myself - to make 40k in 2010 (In tracked profits, not net profits after my backing splits.) This thread is also to push Phil to continue his or inspire someone else to do something similar - General Strategy seems like a good place to put these, there isn't much here and it could hopefully bring this section back to life.Anyway...How?I will be running the following (this may be edited later...):Stars: $6.50 - $27 45 mans, $36 and under 180 mans.FTP: All 90 man Turbo KOs, $7.50 9 man Super Turbo and $3.80 45 man Super Turbo.Both: $55 and under Turbo MTTs, and anything else I pick up stakes for along the way.Why?I need to stop being lazy, get in volume and make some money. I want to be able to get into backing again as I did before, and hope to use my rakeback to do so (FPP Satties = T$ = Sell those and use those as money to back people.)I will also be pushing for Supernova, and those profits will count towards my challenge. Below are the numbers. I have not had a good start to this year. I will be being coached by a few SNG crushers starting next week, as well as a couple of MTT ballers as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to work my game to develop a 4k monhtly profit consistently.Tracking:Stellar bonuses collected: $150Live Cash Results: +$627Total:+$5,375Any questions are obviously welcome.

March 18th/19th (Overnight)Ugh. Gross start to this. Can't hold on FT bubbles, etc. But this isn't a bad beat thread.I should be clearing GoldStar for March soon, my FPP satties should be able to cover a bit of my downswing.I will be posting HHs as this goes, but avoiding bad beats, there haven't been any interesting ones.Update will be posted when this grindfest ends. It's not going well so far. Looking to spike something soon though.

What fpp satties do you play? I'm trying to find better ones that are quicker than the 70fpp STTs for the 1/4 mil. They are like printing money but take too long to make a few bucks. I wouldn't mind finding decent hyper sats. The 3r has 84fpp hyper 6max stts that are ridiculously good, but would rather find something in the 150-200fpp range that are the same.And sigh at your start

280 FPP to the 1/4 Mill. 6 Max, top 2 get, very time-efficient and easy. If you prefer something easier I think there's some to the 11R which have a 750 chip start and not a 500 chip start, I prefer the 500 though. Very easy to make a bonus $100+ a month putting in standard GoldStar volume. I turned it around a tad, but AK < A6 for a 100k stack 5 handed in a 12/180 prevented me from robustoing. Putting another session in with that other tard who has a new thread around here now.

nice thread lurbz. i will be following it closely.i wonder if at some point i could make a profit goal like that as well, and what would be realistic.

Depends on your stakes/volume. Starting Tuesday I will be coached by a couple of 180 man regs and turbo MTT ballers who have me on a target of grinding $36 180s and $27 45s with regularity by the end of April.

[lurbz 2]

Bleh. Rough stretch finally looks to be turning around a bit. Hopefully I can snap a few 180s off and really get rolling here.

[lurbz 2]

2nd in the $8.80 turbo for $2.5k will def help this out

[KingJames 11]

gl, lurbz

[lurbz 2]

decided im gonna start putting in the $9 hyper turbo 6 max to $22 SCOOP when i dont have time for a full set, hopefully i can run around 6% in them and build a little bit more, everything helps.up to date as of this post, turned the bad start around.

[lurbz 2]

Sighhhh 15th in 27.50 turbo and 29th in $15 superturbo 6 max KO back to back days, damn.Gonna include Rakeback on this too, although it's not much. Almost to the $4k mark...

[Boners_Galore 0]

Gl, I look forward to following your progress.

[lurbz 2]

Bad day yesterday, good day in the wee morning hours today.Hovering around the $4k mark, gonna have to do some work. Starting to add $27 45s, $36 180s, and $55 and under Turbo MTTs, probably the best value for me.

[lurbz 2]

Adding live cash results that FCPers are around to witness so that it's not like I'm BSing it.Went +$627 at 1/3 today with Ko8e34 obv. Running like ass in SNGs tonight can't win a flip to save my life. Variance starting to kick in again a bit. Oh well.Hoping SCOOP treats me well this year, or that I can bink a couple more big scores. Also hope I keep smashing 1/3 @ Morongo like I did today.

heh, i don't think it matters if you have witnesses. the only person you are challenging is yourself, so lying about any would be pretty ridiculous.

Right, but considering how no one believes I have a clue around here, I just don't want to deal with all the calls of "Bullshit".

I like your line. If he had anything decent, I think he would have protected his hand after the third spade came. I would guess that he had a low pp, though I'm not sure that people limp low pp utg at the 27.50 buy in tourneys

def agree

[lurbz 2]

updated, cash 2 SNGs today, but one was a $12 180 win and another a $27 45 win. FTd the $21 Hyper Turbo 6 max on Turbo night, got 6th though.

[lurbz 2]

heaters itt, the graph is off and i don't know why but the #s are right.

[lurbz 2]

Updated again. Breakeven...kind of. I played the $215 Turbo and the $215 Million which are obviously way out of my usual buyin range so it's been a decent week other than those two.
