Sorry about the no updates, i just figured I would wait for something more significant to report rather than just "made 4500 vpps today etc"
Anyway, burnout: So far no burnout, sometimes toward the very end of the day, the last hour or so it will drag a little bit but not bad, but really, ALL work drags at some point. But no overall it's great, my wife still works where I used to, and EVERY day she goes to work I'm glad I'm not heading there myself.
Although you are right about my basic zero winrate, it still feels like a winrate to me, I guess at this point I'm still learning and really trying to perfect my ranges and values when I'm 3 bet or when I 3 bet etc and so I am still always thinking about my game, and although my winrate /100 isn't very good I still brought in almost $800 and EV wise almost 1200 which is pretty good for monthly, and my very first full time month making this my job I brought in $7500 which is more than I've ever made at any other job so I'm not down about it at all.
I actually don't see much obstacles in making 1 million, I am SURE there will be some burnout in the future but for now it goes well and my vpps stack up pretty quick and I am hopeful that I will keep overachieving so if I do need a week off later on it wont be a big deal, but every week i continue to be encouraged by my progress.
I have no plans to move up because it is mostly the same people, the vpps do NOT double at 2/4 or 3/6 though the swings would so for now I like where I'm at.
I still think PokerStars would be INSANE to change there buyins, the rules of poker are you have to buyin for at least 20bb people don't like it cuz they say the fish play there but wont play at the 50bb minimum tables (why wouldn't they?) so I think its just people wanting it ALL there way and no compromise, I'm playing within the rules as are all people playing at these levels, I’ve seen increase in people playing at these levels so PokerStars should be making more money, but if they DO decide to follow Full Tilt, I will initially just buyin for more, but would be strongly looking toward moving to full stacking, I am VERY interested in moving up to full stacking, I just don't know how I will initially do it, I'll need a much larger BR to do it, and I really don't want to move down and kill my VPPs, but if PokerStars DOES make us move up to 35bb I think we will probably get more VPP/hand so it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing and I do feel I'm one of the better short stackers and so I still feel I'd be doing ok if we had to move up, so yeah on one side, things are going quite well, this is my livelihood now so of COURSE I don't want them to suddenly change things mid year, i think that is really immoral and I think it was wrong of Full Tilt to do it without much warning other than just a vague "we are going to probably change stuff" and I hope PokerStars doesn't follow, BUT if they DO a part of me would be intrigued to get that push to try playing with bigger stacks.
