Yeah, variance can be a bitch in hypers. These are a BIT different though, just because the payout structure is so good. I mean Top 2 get a ticket worth 2.5x their BI, 3-5 get a retry, and even 6th get's around 1/4 BI back. Thus why I'm so confident I think I can kill these
Also, it's amazing how bad people are in these, as illustrated by that call with 73s. People make TERRIBLE calls like that all the time, and also shove wayyyyy wider than they should be, and have no concept of bubble play.

Posted by rbdflyboy: good run so far....ticket city...too bad about the JJ...nice try!
That was the s**t I ran into all night. Ran into AA 3 times, and every time I ran a PP into an over, they hit. Still think I ended up a bit, won 2 step 2's. Sure wish I could have done better, but just hit some sick cooler/beats Just a short session tonight, had a long day. Gunna snuggle up and watch a movie with gf now I will update SS, and hope I can put some more volume in tomorrow.

Posted by zeroster: Yeah I was watching. Tough, tough session, some very sick beats.
Yeah, I'm used to it, but it still stings a little lol.
Okay, so I'll be a little honest. These are loading a little slower than my last run, I'm not sure if it's just the time of day I'm playing, but it MAY take a bit longer to get the games in neccessary to finish this. It took me over an hour just to play 9, which is like half of what it should be time-wise. While I originally predicted a week or 2 at most, and with christmas coming up, it may take a bit longer than I thought. I give my word I'll try my best to finish this as fast as I can (of course making sure I'm always playing at my best).
think on the whole u did ok...u won afew tickets...yes some of the beats were pretty sick. Might balance out tho.

As far as I'm concerned it's not a race...sooner see you take your time and be comfortable. It'll all shake out in the end. No panic bud.

It's not a sprint man no need to feel any pressure to get through them quickly (not from me anyway). There's enough pressure without feeling any time pressure as well.
Just play at your own speed when you feel like it and if you feel like those crazy beats might be tilting you then get out. There's always another day. ------------------------------------------------------ Edit.

Same here mate, no rush no pressure.
Enjoy the grinding and keep us posted so we can have some fun with you
So correct me if there's an error in my cipher here. Played 35 of 80 step 1 tickets and won 16. That means there are 61 step 1 tickets to go and you earned 9 step 2 tickets already. That's not a bad showing. 16 out of 35 is 45.17% and that not including the step 2's. IMO that's a good start.

If you can find some opposition that is. Looking pretty quite there at the moment. Almost tempted to join myself just to give you a game. But that would just be dumb.
------------ Wow!! been watching and what I just don't get is why someone with the chip lead and a step 2 ticket virtually in the the bag would call your all in with A,8. It's just beyond stupid, do they not understand the payout structure or something?
------------
Or with A,2 as I've just seen. Totally deranged people.

I dont blame the A8 call, and the A2 call was pretty standard too.

Both almost back to back hands. This is the s**t I've run into all night. It's also taking forever to get games going, so I may cut it short :S Really don't want to end with a losing session, so I'll see how it goes. Will stop if I get pissed off enough, or my gf nags at me to stop
