I have learnt a valuable lesson the 1st day and a half playing zoom- bluffing for stacks with creative nut lines, calling super light and light vbets are a good way to loose money. I've got it back now so I guess i'm starting again from scratch.
At the moment I've grinded 1009VPP's in two days playing small at 25nl. I'm fine with this even though obviously at 500VPP's a day I'm going to fail in my challenge if you do the maths. The reasoning behind this is that I'm building a database and it seems that a few regs are straddling limits so a figure I'll get the info for cheap as well as getting used to playing more than 4 tables. My goal is to play 50nl zoom sometime in September which would give me the best part of 3 months playing at 50 nl and if I can manage it maybe two tables of 25's as well at the same time. If I can achieve this goal then I figure I will make Supernova this year- and set me up for 100nl zoom at the beginning of 2013.
Oh yeah I feel like a baller with my Silver star lols.

Poker Stars Challenge 2012
Hey guys,
Well really looking forward to playing on Zoom on Stars.Will start at the beginning of next month. So my challenge is to grind 100k VPP's in 6 months, starting playing 25nl Zoom to begin with to get used to the software, playing style of stars players, multi-table effectively and build up a database as cheaply as possible. I expect most of this challenge to be played at 50 and 100nl as I am going to start with the minimum £400 deposit and two reloads of £400- taking total spend to a limited 1.2k.
I've decided not to deposit my whole bankroll on Stars as I still unfortunately need to withdraw money every month for living expenses- so I will have to play on Ipoker for the rest of this year as well for that purpose, whilst keeping all my Stars money locked in till the end of the year.
Super excited about this challenge and its also super important to get the 3.5x FPP multiplier next year when I plan to move all my play to Stars

What a Grind this months been so far
Been chasing this Cash Point Promo on Ipoker this month, in which you are effectively awarded money for being a aggro fish in multiway pots. I guess its been worth while as I have hit my monthly minimum expected £'s with very little stress and a week to go this month. Having said this its been very boring playing for this promotion- essentially waiting for a multiway pot and taking the most aggressive line possible.
I'm really looking forward to playing proper cash games again, as this is far more interesting with a deeper thought process. Anyways i'm glad cash point is over and that it was on the whole worth while- maybe I make more playing regular cash games maybe I don't we'll never know- however the reduced variance is welcome and so some happiness points are gained there.
Ipoker is bringing in fast fold poker (now in beta) but rolling out properly at the beginning of next month. This is very good news as obv increasing hand played per day etc is good for my bottom line at the end of the month. Will have to wait for the necessary holdem manager updates obviously but I'm really excited about this.
The short to medium term plan is to diversify and start shifting my play to Poker Stars, as this is where the action is at- think stars is like 14 times larger than Ipoker so.... The issue is that you have to wait a couple of months to start seeing any returns from the VIP program which is not really an option for me at the moment, also I wouldn't want to leave the ipoker fish for some other reg to scoop. This has lead me to conclude that playing on Ipoker for living expenses this year is prudent, with the additional goal of establishing a database on Poker Stars playing Zoom as well as attaining Supernova this year. I really want to at the end of the year be able to get a good idea if the attainment of Supernova elite is possible next year. It appears possible at the moment theoretically but maybe I am being hopeful.
Apparently I'm going to get paid for Cash Point on Tuesday so I'm going to wait till then to start shuffling around money and shipping some on Poker Stars. Also I'm definitely going to rewatch some training vids to increase my though processes.
All in all this month so far has been ok money wise but just a bit boring. Having said that i'm essentially complaining that watching films and documentaries and playing poker has been a bit boring this month as Cash Point has made the game not very mentally stimulating- I guess worse things have happened lol.
Take care
