GOT WHAT IT TAKES? LAST ATTEMPT

[hotoleanunicu]

Good luck with your chalange Gotwhatittakes !!👍

 

[GotWhatItTakes]

Thanks . I really appreciate it. 😃

[WuDu]

Again, congrats on the great run! Depending on how much :cash1: I have in my account after tonight, I have to try those MTTs as well. They seem juicy as fudge.

[GotWhatItTakes]

GL and thanks ! But maybe the MTTs are not as juicy as you think they are. People know what they are doing in most cases and there are a lot of regs as well (the higher the buyin the more regs obv).

Looking good in the €4 turbo, we might both make a final table yet :D

[GotWhatItTakes]

Hey , I didnt notice you were among the remaining players. 😃 What alias did you use? 

I finished 5th for 22,18€ in the MTT you mentioned. At least I started to cash in the low events today. 🆗

[MoreTBC]

I was the one that looks like Captain Birdseye :) 

I min cashed after losing two Pairs < Ax in a couple of hands. Was sitting 1st before it I think.

Sorry to hear that, I tend to have the avatars hidden because they are really distracting me when playing poker.

[WuDu]

I personally like the comic avatars and the different backgrounds. Poker should be fun, there's no way I'm sitting in front of my laptop for 2 hours staring at a green table on a dark background trying to figure out what screenname1234 is doing next.

I just played my first 3 SNG25. In the first one I busted in the second hand after being rivered with JJ vs AKo. Second one I didn't reach the money as well. 3rd one I won after some poor soul couldn't throw away TP against my aces. So I'm up 4 Euro now! 😀

SNG25 feels a little different to play, what do you think? Or maybe I'm just paranoid and it's the same guys playing SNG10 and SNG4 as well. I take it slow the next few days and get used to it first.

I get that, it might get boring for some people to play without the avatars. But I just can´t handle it. Sometimes I just allow them for just one second and its so shiny, colourful. Thats some crazy overstimulation for me.

Thats good news. :-) Did you feel the pressure to win the 3rd one? I have that sometimes :teardrop: I think it is way harder to play 25€SNGs, just because of the bigger number. Imagine you lose 6 in a row, thats 150€ already. If you want to grind them successfully, you have to become immune towards losing "big" amounts of money.

I m not sure, but I guess you are right. It feels totally different compared to SNG10. But that might be just some kind of placebo. "The guys at SNG25 must be bosses, no comparison to SNG10" that s what I was thinking. But they start with 2000 chips aswell, get dealt 2 cards and that´s it. SNG25 is tougher than SNG10, of course no comparison to SNG4, but its doable. I think I will be back for some SNG action in December. Lets hope I won´t lose all the :cash1: playing MTTs. :laugh:

Interesting questions you brought up! 👍 Honestly at SNG10, I don't feel pressure to win anything as I know I beat this level. If not today, I'll do it tomorrow or next week. I have no doubt in my mind. But I would call it differently, winning an SNG in that situation definitely makes you close the laptop with a much better feeling. Let's say you are down almost 4 buy-ins and you have 2 SNGs left, if you lose both of them, you're behind by 6 buy-ins which are 150 Euro at the SNG25 level. If you win both of them, you finish the day +10 Euro. For swings like that, you need a nice bankroll.

For me the issue right now is that I need to get used to the new level, so I play 2 SNGs at a time for now, change my alias everytime and take it slow. Also, I don't want to blow my new bankroll God Emperor Trump provided me with! :laugh: I spent too much time analyzing politics to donk the money away just to play SNG10 again next week!

If you keep referring to him as 'God Emperor' it will probably be gone in a couple days.

[GotWhatItTakes]

Hihi, your guys´ war is funny to watch. It s like Hillary - Donald all over again. 🤣

 It´s the same with MTTs for me. I feel worse busting a 25€ MTT (and today I busted all of them) than the same thing happening in a 10€ MTT. But I guess thats only normal. 

I will post a quick update tomorrow, I m too tired to do that right now. Good night 😪

[GotWhatItTakes]

I m back. 

I spend a week away from home, a rather spontaneous trip. I cashed out my bankroll before I left. That means I have to start from the button again. 

Also, I booked flight and hotel for Bukarest for Unibet Open in December. I will probably play a couple of satellites and some side events. 😃

I didn´t play any games in the last days and it was quite nice to get some distance from the tables, I guess. Now, I am ready to get back to the tables! 

I will keep you updated when things are happening again! :-)

[WuDu]

How did you qualify for the UO? By playing the satellites? You know I'm asking for a friend...:laugh:

It's interesting that you cash out your roll in total, just to build it up again. I'm trying a different approach with my Trump money.

[GotWhatItTakes]

Hi , nah, I didn´t qualify.. I just booked flight and hotel on my own and I m gonna play a couple of the smaller events (up to 300€ probably) and the Main Event satellite. I cashed out because I didn´t know if the money would come in handy when I left. But it need it, so I thought about playing some MTTs in Bucharest and used my cashed out bankroll for the costs. I could cash back in, but I´d rather use the money for Bucharest.

I will qualify for the next UO (London) by playing the satellites though. That´s the first goal for 2017. :happy:

[FeelsBadMan]

Yeeeeah buddy, Bucharest hype 🆗

Depending on what dates you've booked your stuff there are some warmup events and sattelites as well (in another location, not that hard to get there from the marriott area by bus), might be more side events and cash games that aren't listed ... maybe. Just google "Unibet Open Bucharest & Unibet Warm-Up. Complete Schedule" , since I can't link it here :)

 

[GotWhatItTakes]

Will you be there too ?

Unfortunately, I will arrive too late for the Warm Up. The plane is scheduled for arrival between 19:00 and 20:00 (30th November; local time), don´t know the exact time at the moment. Maybe I can late reg for the first Satellite to Main Event (begins 20:00), late reg until 10pm. That depends on how fast I can get from the airport to the Marriott. 🤣

[AndreiBN]

 It will take you at least 1 hour to get to Marriot from the airport at that time in the evening.And you also have to wait for your luggage and all that,so i suggest just take it easy and don't stress to hurry up getting in time for the late reg,only if your flight arrives at 19:00,local time :)

[GotWhatItTakes]

You are right . Probably, I won´t make it in time, so if I arrive later than 19:30 I won´t even try.

[WuDu]



OK, now I see! Maybe you should take some pictures to spice up your blog. 👍

[GotWhatItTakes]

For sure! 

Chip towers incoming 😀

No, seriously. I ll try to upload several pictures. Chips, Casino, Food, Hotel, Bucharest. What do you guys wanna see? Let me know and it ll be done :peace: 😃

In the next 12 days I ll try to grind my ass off :D The more I earn the more tourneys I am able to play in Bucharest. :cash1:

[GotWhatItTakes]

Sorry for not updating the last couple of days. Reason is that nothing happened, I didn´t play any games because I have some real life things to deal with at the moment. 

Plane to Bucharest will leave on Wednesday, need to run some errands today and tomorrow to sort everything out before I leave. 

I think it s not the worst thing to stay away from the tables for a few days before playing live for several hours a day. 

I m pumped already!!

[Magicadil]

Where you been ?

Was really enjoying the posts :wow:

[GotWhatItTakes]

Don´t worry  I will be back in no time! 

At the moment I have some issues I need to solve, will be right back on here after that.

1.) I am sick -> need to get REALLY better (need to radically change my lifestyle, it´s not great the way it is now)

2.) Internet connecting issues (can´t play a single hour without at least 2 big disconnections thus I m unable to grind)

3.) time management

 I hope I can sort everything out before Christmas, I have some great plans for 2017 and a lot of goals I want to share with you guys.

Stay tuned 🆒
