Yep as far as i know 45% is all you get, and next year 30% #amayasavingpoker .....

Bon voyage.. You mean u will stop playing poker? Would be a weird choice after making 150k in 8 months..

Have fun in Aus, Melbourne is an A+ city, Sydney is pretty great too.

Pretty sure it's 45% flat for the remainder of the year.

Melbourne is a blast, pics needed ITT bc I miss the place

Probably, Im kind of burned out already, I just want to hit the million, win it, and stop :d.

I kind of loved Melbourne/Sydney, amazing country, the people are great. I cant stay more than 3 months due to VISA, but Ill probably come back in 2017.

As far as the trip goes, busted around 10k in tournaments+expenses, but ended up a little up playing cash/online, which is not bad.

As far as the 2016 goes, my only goal is to be the best player at the 100s spins, hitting a 12-13% bf and make more than 150k. I will be playing tournaments, headsup turbo/hyper, turbo 6max and some live trips. Ill avoid playing online cash mainly because Im a fish, and the field without tableselecting is kind of tough.

Year so far:

Gl guys !

Year so far:



Need to put more volume, Im playing some MTTS as well and trying not to get bored while grinding, that way I can grind more and I dont feel tired so soon.

February is on the books now. Being pretty busy moving in with my gf and doing a few coaching hours to my spanish students, hopefully they will crush the 60s soon. I didnt play a lot, but got nice results anyway. Doing a lot of study lately, and bought Oddsoracle+PPT+Pokerjuice, I like PLO as well and I think that if you can get some juicy games is more than profitable (although the variance is brutal).

Busted some ks at the cash tables, but ended up profitable on a second soft room. 150hours played in total or something really close I guess.

Thats all, wanted to travel to the ESPT @ Madrid but I wont move to the new apartment until tomorrow and figured out that letting my gf doing the moving alone is not a nice living together start :P.

Gl at the tables





P.S: Im kind of starting to feel paranoid about the online environment. https://twitter.com/mustafasuleymn/s...69083458068480
With all the scripting, software, solvers, blablabla, probably if you got enough resources you can build something that allows you to play while making best decisions in game. Tbh headsup 20 bb is pretty much solved right now, and it seems like if the rooms dont start to improve their security measures the gray area between "legit" and "cheating" can hurt a lot the ecosystem.

Buying all the hands monthly at 100s and getting the perfect info from the population tendencies, getting someone to build you charts ranging from 5bbs until 25bb covering all the spots (3h and headsup) and developing some kind of software that allows users not to play against each other is kind of unethical, but common practice. Said that, there are some good staking groups out here, like HUSNG, StandardBacking..., that their coaches and their ethics are incredible solid and valuable, but there are other staking groups not so ethical.

It seems like we are at the phase "get all the money that you can and run", because we dont know how long will online poker last as we concieve it. Probably, in a few years (or even months) solid hourlies will detriment into massive fields with huge variance and gambling. Like live mtts pros.

holy fkkk that redline!! GL next month nice to see u again!

redline hype!

GL!

how do you fix the thing where certain lines of the graph start out of nowhere ?

His redline is so sick it even starts in the positive

No idea about fixing the graph, and Im pretty sure that the redline is ev- in a lot of situations, but Im a monkey overbluffer .

Big update coming up, so fasten your seat belts.

Moved to another apartment and felt like I wanted to play something different. I have bought a second monitor and added 4 secondary rooms in addition to Stars. Im trying to figure out a way of being able to play 6spins at a time at Stars, and still get registered in the other rooms in the 100++ hyperturbos and 200++ turbos. Also Im opensitting at headsup tables 100bbs, bumhunting like a scumbag, sorry about that. So Im playing 6 spins at the laptop screen, and I got all the lobbies optimized in the second monitor, I think that is a good way to maximize hourly reducing a lot of variance. At peak hours I get 10 quality games, and at low peak hours I get less games but I can sit higher in the lobbies (mostly due to good regs sleeping, lol) so I sometimes get to sit in good non-usd currencies "highstakes" games, with also better rakeback deals than Stars.

This "new system" got it upsides and downs, like everything. The good part is that sometimes I get a big whale headsup, spewing at more than 30bb/100 at 400++, which is nice. The other good part is that, with a 3%ev roi in headsup vs recs, variance is not that high compared to hypers. In addition, I can grind more hours without being bored or tired, mixing it up is better for my grinding hours.

There are cons, as well.
First con is that a few of the rooms that Im playing doesnt allow tracking software. So I dont know if Im running over ev, under ev, or spewing. Thats a big con, but sharkscope is allowed.
Playing 6spins at a time while getting action at 2-3 midstakes hypers is stressfull and crazy as ****. If I get a lot of action, I spew at the spins (focusing mostly on the second monitor) and I make clear mistakes, like cbeting J4o in a 683 vs a rec in a limped pot, for example. Overbarreling turns/rivers, spew calls, not being able to play as wider as I want to (sometimes folding a marginal call if you are going to get exhausted playing too wide is better). If I play like that, probably my evroi at 60-100 is closer to 1% than to 3%. Having less than 3% ev playing 60-100 is a big nono for me, considering that variance is huge in the new spins payout, and longterm almost ridiculous. So Im playing 15s, aiming to get 6% evroi, which is roughly to 65-70$h/postrb, and another 100$ on top from the secondary rooms with a lot less variance.

I ran some numbers about 2-3tabling 100s and adding the secondary rooms, and although hourly is a lot better, Ill be playing low volume with high variance, which I dislike.

So, this will be my grinding setup for this month. I aim to be able to get 15-20k months with low variance, and a solid 160$+ hourly. If I get bored or things dont go work out as expected, Ill run some other options. Probably this year is going to be my last one as full time and I dont want to risk being the poor bastard who ran 500bi under ev.

Im not sure if this is the right move, top regs at 100s spins playing 6tables could be getting 200$/hr, while mediocre ones playing 2-3 tables closer to 100$. Ill try out a few months and then decide.

So far, this month has gone well, 8-9k excluding RB plus another 5-6k on Stars, although I didnt play more than 100 hours, getting the lobbies tuned up, good rakeback deals (sick, affiliate world is funny) and getting things done for the new apartment.

Ill be playing the UKIPT in London next month and going to Vegas in June, althought I got a friends wedding so wont be able to stay as much as I want to.

Thoughts, comments and opinions are pretty much appreciated.

Also, I aim to play at least 168hours in April. The only way to track this is the spins, so I need to play at least 10k spins from now until April 30 . If I dont achieve that Ill be giving away 25$ x5 freerolls to the first 5 posters from now on. Will make an alias at Sharkscope too to track results, but I dont know how to do that yet, lol.

In for freeroll. Good luck! Never ran the numbers myself but it's good to know $50+/hr is doable at 15s

In for freeroll as well and good luck !

In in in

GL though !!

In for freeroll

In! GL, nice work ethics!

scammyeddy in 4 a free roll too ��

yooooo freeroll, gl

Played some with you on Stars HU and one of your new sites you like to sit regs at £400 tables i believe

Crazy aggro and fun to play, gl man

Is actually closer to 80$ if you get over 6% ev with the SNE rakeback :P.

Good news is that probably you guys are winning the freeroll, not sure yet.

Sooo definitely Im kind of ******ed. I ran the numbers good, which are fine, but I didnt take in mind that being over 300bi under ev is definitely possible, so if I run really bad my hourly will be misery, making little to no sense playing 15s. They changed the jackpot too, so my % of getting a x10000 is close to none this year. Keeping that in mind, Im trying to get some EVROI deal with backers, but nobody is willing to pay EV despite getting a chunk of the profit. I thought about selling spins based on X% evroi, but problem again is that variance is incredible high and keeping the numbers somehow complicated. Best option is doing an EVROI deal keeping out the rakeback, but lets see how it works out, Im running some numbers and Ill clear my mind soon. Ultimately, Ill just grind 60s-100s on my own and pray not to get 200bi under ev in the first games .

Im going to start college soon and I wont be able to focus that much in poker. I need to find some balance between poker/study/life, and having to worry about negative months is something that I dont want next year.

Moving on, Im going to Vegas this summer (probably UKIPT too in the next few days) and Ill probably grind some MTTs/cash. Said that, I think that Im an okish shallow player (below 40bbs) but I have no ****ing idea of playing with 200 bbs (and more or less 100bbs).

I know the "basics", but I dont know if I should 3barrel AQhd in a 4h2h8hK7 runout, or I should XC, or I should xx bet bet.

I dont know the sizing JJ is taking in the 428 flop, and what to do turn (well, probably betting turn again merged and check calling river sometimes).

I dont know if after defending T6s vs a UTG raise, do we have to check-raise 63s8s or is better to XC XC XR. And if the turn is an A/K, what our sizing would be in case of keeping barreling.

I know that KJ vs a bad rec is a better barreling hand in a K94Tx than AA (yay). But not much more .

Playing with 20-30 bbs is so much different. I know how ranges impact, I know how many combos do I bluff in X spot, I know what rivers are the worst for my holding and how can I get a leverage on that, I got an idea of how equity shift in the different turn/river cards...

You know, those kind of stuff that makes the difference between being breakeven online or crushing. I want to play 1k/2k in Vegas, so I guess I need to study if I dont want to click buttons (or click chips).





Gl at the tables, variance be with you guys.

On the turn or on the river and why?

$80/hour at the 15s, lol sicko. Please don't come at the 100s, thankfully and as usually I don't play much, but don't want your extremely annoying calling station tendencies when I am bluffing anywhere around.

Not really much to update, Im playing 60s-100s (5-6tables, depending on the field I play just 6 100s or 3 100s and 3 60s or full 60s)



Im going a few days to Edinburgh and then flying to Cyprus 2nd May to play some live poker and enjoy a few days off.

I think overall I can keep a 3%ev at 100s, which is nice. Although cd I think that Im running terrible, my headsup play is pretty much solid atm and corrected a few leaks (basically nobody never bluffs vs me, and I always call the raises :P) so hopefully I can stay on the right track.

Lost a x100 at 100s yesterday, A9s vs KQo I think 13bbs, and then K9o 5bb vs his A8o push. Was vs a reg, both hands are coolers and played the rest of the hu pretty much fine, thats life. Thats the bad thing about spins, if you play a x100 vs 2regs you are pretty much ****ed up.

Selling some action of the mtts tho, check it out:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18.../#post49822452

Did you ever see an 7bet on the flop with 25 bbs? Here you go.
Month is pretty good,



Im pretty much confident that my true evroi is over 2%, although Im kind of lost vs some villains in limped pots with 11-15bb HU (mostly on the worst runouts vs my range, as I dont know if is best to blockbet/induce, check call or just bet/fold or check/fold). Said that, only thing to do is just grind as much as I can and print. My image must be the worst, so I just have to bluff less (or not, so be careful 100sreg if you are reading me) and valuebet thin.

Funny thing is that most of the regs must think that Im crazy, but I think that they are crazier than me. Is fkn unbelievable how random people can be, but well, this is poker, I click buttons sometimes too.

I will probably lost the 5x freerolls, unless I decide to play 500 games a day for the following days (which I doubt :P). Lucky bastards .
