Ok made 300k within my first hour of today, I put in a little extra time and made back up to my monthly goal of being at 305,000 by nights end. It was pretty cool because it also coincided almost to the VERY FPP of me hitting enough FPPs to buy another 4k bonus. Whenever my 4k bonus is within a day or 2 of hitting a hundred thousand milestone I hold off a few days getting the milestone so i can buy the bonus earlier and clear it while getting vpps for the next bonus... In the long run it doesn't matter but I hate waiting so long for the bonuses to clear and I guess just getting 50,000 fpps to get the milestone will break up the wait.
Anyway as far as this new change is concerned:
Yesterday the VPPs were amazing, today they were back to normal or maybe even a little bit worse, not much but a TINY bit worse, I think perhaps more regs were trying out these games and tightening up the tables, I dunno.
But what I have tentatively decided to do is short stack but not rathole. I've been looking for an excuse to try bigger stacks for a while now, and the fact that the timer is set at 60 minutes and there are FAR fewer tables is probably that push. Today during peak time we had around 50 20-50bb tables from 1-2 & 2-4 so that was cool. Obviously though I'm not that good at larger stacks yet. I feel like there are a LOT of people on the tables that aren't that great either, but I REALLY have to work on my curiosity. So often I'll have Aces and get raised on the turn and pretty much know I'm beat but still call just so I can see how this jackass sucked out on me.. and then after I see I say oh ok that way... hmm.. that wasn't worth the cost of the info... who's the jackass now?
I don't do it all the time or anything, TPTK type hands I get away from when I feel I need to mostly but those over pairs get me because sometimes I will think I should fold and then I call and Oh ok He just has AJ on the JT84 board and my Queens are good, so then when I get in another spot where I feel I'm beat I'll say, maybe he just has TPTK again.. and end up losing big stacks. I definitely need to improve my full stacking game and who knows maybe this will be a good spot since a LOT of hands are against shorter stacks anyway even when I do get over 100bbs at the table most times it is a range of 20 - 60bb stacks, of course if I do have a larger stack and a lot of others do or a few regs do that I think are good or probably better than me I'll leave though because I'm just not that comfortable with it yet.
For now though it seems to be OK. Tonight I was playing a bit later than usual and was pretty damn low on tables, I think I ended up doing something like 18 - 200nl 3 400nl and 3 100nl tables at the end as tables were drying up, but I usually dont quite play that late, obviously I hope there will be a bit more than that to choose from, but for now it seems I have a plan that will work out alright.
I ended the day after playing almost 9 hours down $260 in EV, of course part of that was getting over $100 all-in on the turn after a guy hit his gutshot against my aces and was drawing dead so only a few buyins down ev (actual was close to -500 i ALWAYS run bad at 400NL 
) but yeah hopefully I will keep getting better and start getting away from dangerous hands more often and letting the bad players stack off when I have a better hand more often... at least I THINK that's what my mind set should be when I get a larger stack against other large stacks at FR. Obviously breaking the habit and luxury of seeing lots of showdowns and quenching your curiosity when short stacking is hard to appease now that I've been doing it so long 
But I digress... Over 300k!
