Today was much more interesting. When I started playing cap, I decided to play full-ring (9 players at a table) instead of 6-max (6 players at a table). A month ago there were 24+ full-ring tables to play between 11AM and 10PM. However, over the last week I have really had trouble getting 24 tables going so my VPP/rate was lower than I had planned. This forced me to play a lot more hours this week which is not good.
I decided today to try 6-max which usually has a lot more tables running. I have avoided 6-max because there are a lot more good professionals playing on these tables than the full-ring tables. Win-rates are usually considerably lower on 6-max than FR. However, I am going to have to learn to play this game if I want to get to SNE without playing all day everyday.
9,000 hands and 5,200 VPP's today. 16.2% of the way to SNE.
The benefit of playing 24 tables of 6-max is you get 2,000 hands/hour as opposed to 1,500 hands/hour. The VPP/hand rate is also higher so I can get 1,100 VPPs/hour at 6-max versus 650 VPPs/hour at full-ring which means I need to play 40% less hours to get to SNE.
For my first day of 6-max, I posted my first losing day in weeks. I would have had a profit if I hadn't tried to play at home with the kids running around. Playing 1,500-2,000 hands an hour requires all my concentration and emotional control and playing at home isn't conducive to that. My dad was in Italy for the last couple weeks which allowed me to play at his house in quiet which I think is a large part of my profit last month. I will have to figure something out going forward. Don't be surprised if you see A and A on ebay in the near future.
