What software do you use to help you with registration/closing/etc.
Do you do any coding yourself to find profitable strategies?
Also, I would be really interested to know what kind of ROI you see across levels, since I know you deviate pretty far from immediate ICM equilibrium in a number of spots, I assume because of future-hand equity. There are definitely a few times where I've seen you do something and I've said to myself "whatttttt that can't be right", then looked it up, and still can't figure out what's going on. I'm guessing you don't share that info publicly, but if you PM it, I promise I won't tell .
You're welcome for all the monies during the ME sats. This is psimalive.
I have about 18 thousand hypers in my database that are unraked.
Quick stakes brakedown (all numbers are approximations):
$1k+: 500
$500-$1k: 100
$420: 2700
$250-$400: 800
$222: 2800
$212: 2000
$170/$175: 300
$150: 1300
$128: 2800
$110: 1600
$86: 18k
$80: 4k
$54: 8k
$44: 7k
lower: 1k
I play them for pretty much any tourney I can find that offers them.
The only software I use is table ninja. I just started using it a few weeks ago. Before that I used an ahk script I found in the software forum. The only things I use TN for is the 1-click registering and auto-closing tables when I bust.
I don't do any coding myself.
I used ICM at first to get some idea of how to play them, but I'm pretty sure if someone just strictly followed ICM in these that they would barely be a winning player. I have reasons for every play I make in these and some of them might not be correct in an immediate sense but I think they are correct for the overall sng. Others may just be misclicks or me rushing too much.
I'm not posting my ROI numbers because that's basically the reason I block sharkscope in the first place. Although I've been thinking about unblocking it, I'm not really sure yet.
Good luck in the games bud.
