*NEW RECORD* MOST SNGS IN ONE DAY

[raptor517]

a day in the life of raptor..

so here i am trying to learn how to 12 table welll, so i drop back down to the 55s (i had a terrible run again at the step 5 minis, go figure), and i manage to not move from my computer more than 3 times during the 12 hour period i was playing. i ran 11 tables pretty much continuously all day. it was by far one of my most unlucky days. IT struck, and i couldnt win a single coinflip, domination, 60/40, anything. every showdown i got into i lost. yay.

so i take a break at about 75 sngs to make some spaghetti. i still have 8 sngs running mind you, just enough so i can run to the microwave, take a quick piss, get a drink, etc. so i sit back down for a fresh start after my 3 minute extended break. well, i keep playing, gavin comes over to bother me and bust out of some tournaments, and we have some good times making jokes. i continue to play after he leaves. wow, i start getting tired. im really tired right now, so im gonna wrap this up. this was NOT my worst day ever, but it sure freakin felt like it.

ok, so results time.

SNGS played: 158!!!!! (beat that challengers)
ROI : -2.2% (shouldnt be hard to beat..)
ITM : 34.2% (also, shouldnt be hard to beat)

1st 9.5% 15
2nd 10.8% 17
3rd 13.9% 22
4th 13.9% 22
5th 19.0% 30
6th 13.9% 22
7th 12.7% 20
8th 3.8% 6
9th 0.6% 1
10th 1.9% 3

ok, this was the most god awful thing i had ever seen in my life. (ok, not THE MOST god awful, ive been pretty god awful before, but this really sucked.) note to everyone: if your finish distribution looks ANYTHING like this, you suck almost as bad as me.

ok, so lets break down profits/losses. playing those 158 sngs, i lost 190 bucks. wow, thats awful huh. thats -$1.20 per tournament. i PAID $1.20 for the 'entertainment' of each tournament. great.

well, thank god for rakeback. i generated 790 in rake, and thanks to my handy dandy new rakeback deal, i get 30% on all 3 of my accounts. sooo.. i make 237 in rakeback for the day, which isnt BAD, but ive done WAY better. playing the 55s sucks for rakeback. anyway, on an overall, for the final day, i made 47 bucks. i guess if i was working at mcdonalds, that would equate to be about the same. 47 bucks though. yuck. thats not even the fee i paid on ONE step 5. sigh. well, grinding sucks, buuuuut, i figure ill do it for a couple more weeks.

raptors rules:
1. NO GODAMN PAI GOW
2. NO GODAMN STEPS
3. PLAY IN YER GODAMN BANKROLL
4. NO PAI GOW ITS RIGGED
5. NO STEP 5s U HATE LOSING 20K IN A NORMAL SWING
6. DISCIPLINE!!!!
7. thats it really

You guys are all lucky. You didn't hear all the b****ing and whining the whole day. This is only the condensed version. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I tip my hat off to you though raptor, because you've played more SNG's today than most people play in a month or more. Even with all the bad beats too, looks like you kept your normal game going. Now if you EVER have a good day again, wow, would be crazy seeing someone make 3k or so in the 55's during a 24 hour period.

[Pepsquad]

You're a monster! That's an insane amount of poker. Keep your chin up. It'll come.

[Blarg]

Yow. Well, it does seem like your money management skills lag far, far behind your poker playing skills, but hopefully your resolutions will help on that.

Not bad that a terrible day for you still wound up with you being net positive!

[Maulik]

you need to begin playing online blackjack.

[Blarg]

Because my money management skills are so far ahead of my poker skills?

[BradleyT]

Bet you can't get in 1000 by next wednesday.

[jah0550]

Why not just cut down the number of freakin tables you play at the same time? When I get on a real shitty streak, I only play 3 tables instead of my usual 6. It helps me steal a little more when I would normally muck while 6 tabling.
Stay away from Pai Gow...trust me craps is where its at anyway.

Pffft... Maybe if you'd stick around a little longer in them, it'd be difficult to get 150+ SNGs in. Holla. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

FWIW, next time I have a free day, I'll throw down the gauntlet. I think I can crack 180. This Sunday is a possibility - if not, it may be a few weeks.

[imcastleman]

I played 140 tournaments once before 4-tabling. It was nonstop play for nearly 24 hours. I think I am going to challenge myself to play 400 tournaments this weekend. So, you want in Raptor? Starting 6:00PM EST on Friday night through 01:00AM EST Monday morning. That's 55 hours of play. Are you up for it?

[EnderFFX]

I might be in. I want to try and break Raptor's 1 day record. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Since Yugo's first trip report, I've really wanted to know what Pai Gow is. Now, not so much.

[UMTerp]

Pai Gow is by far my favorite table game too. I think it's because it has a pseudo-poker element in it. That and it's fun. You tie the dealer in about 80% of your hands though (at least it seems that way). It's definitely one of the slower ways to bleed cash at a table game...

[Freudian]

Whats the odds of Raptor having a feeding tube surgically inserted within 6 months?

[brad the fish]

I'm actually surprised he doesn't have a catheter already...
No more bathroom runs.

WHAT THE HELL??? ONLY 12 TABLES??? What is that 4th monitor doing over there, collecting dust? Or is that just allocated strictly for porn?

Having a monitor devoted to a control panel for starting up new games is priceless. Half the battle in playing more then 4 tables is starting new ones up. I plan to have a 4 monitor system up in running within 6 months.

[microbet]

Me too. If I were a little wiser, I might have played poker instead.

Try telling that to Raptor and Usher... /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

[Apathy]

Man you work too hard, take a holiday, I haven't played online in almost three days now and I feel great. Don't sweat the fact that you didn't make a bajilion, remember, you werent gonna spend the money on anything anyways so who cares when it finally comes. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif.

Party and friends will decide you have had enough soon.

What site is this that you get rakeback for playing SnG's?

[raptor517]

yikes, i didnt realize posting my rakeback would get me 357230946859034608909486 pms about who my affiliate is. heres the thing, lol, i dont think i was supposed to say i got this much from the certain affiliate, as it is a special deal. there IS a downside though. i have to generate over 10k MGR on my 2 eurobets, and 5k MGR on empire. otherwise its just the standard deal. ill talk to my affiliate and see if he wants his name dropped at all. holla

[raptor517]

weekends.. thats when i do those things like that girl suited was talking about.. hmm. tough to shy away from a challenge though.. if i could find 2 WHOLE days where i could just hole up in front of my computer, i would be ALL over it. i have been wanting to find someone that is as crazy as i am as far as sngs goes, to get in some sort of challenge like this. well, im definitely interested, and ill talk to u further bout it on aim or something. holla

Word. Playing 12 tables on 2 monitors and then trying to start up a few game when I get bounced out is nearly impossible, especially at the lower limits when tables get filled up in about 5 seconds.

I'm about to start 8 tabling, once I get my new monitor in any hints?

When you play 4, never pay attention ever, that way when you play 8 with no reads you won't be freaked out.

Seriously, I have no other help. I'm not really sure how to explain super tabling to people.

I'm guessing you're only half joking here. Are you saying that you just view every situation in isolation?
