    i have nothing better to do than grind $16 turbos for 8 weeks, 40 hours a week.
    if i 8 table for 8 hours, i calculate about 128 games a night. thats translates to about 4480 games over 35 days (1 week im on holiday).

    i know its a huge mountain and figures are so easy to make up, but is this about right if i have the will power of chuck norris? or am i way off somewhere?

    also, PS rekon that ill have platinum star status and make about 64000 FPP in 8 weeks?

    this just seems absurd to me, but i never put this kind of volume in.
    any thoughts, advice, observations please?

    whats the longest period of time youve grinded 4 consistently??

    if u go straight into this from previously been a recreational player, youll fuckin explode, u dont understand how mentally hard it is to go through a 8 hour period 5 days a week, espically when ur running bad....

    gl, im doing the same thing this summer but at the $.650 45's, i have days planned but things always come up so im not putting in anywhere near enough volume. and my first 3 days resulted in a 45 buyin downswing which was absurd. but gl on yours, post updates on how your doin

    2 weeks at 40 hours a week. so not thesame for sure. but with a week holiday right in the middle of that, a 3 week and 4 week grind should be achieveable.

    and.

    good luck to you aswell! the 6.50 45's are horrible for varience. i hope you can take it haha. ill post a blog fairly regular and get a link up for it.
