I don't think it's "officially" a done deal, but is officially a done deal, if that makes sense. When I was in NJ a few weeks ago Stars was having a VIP players meeting, I didn't attend. Once Amaya purchased them back in June they basically had the green light barring going through the standard review practice.

Thanks. Read some of the threads a little and some of your posts. Man, that is really great news for everyone.

I happened to have this picture opened, maybe it's very good luck pic?

Poker Stars NL400 year 2014? Who said that this game is dead? roflmao

Ms. Nopez, nice river call, did you consider another options, such as folding for example?

Can't even imagine what kind of pic villain with $2.5k had open in front of his computer

I dont get it

Just played 8 hours straight no break hu zoom, its now mid day and havnt been to bed fml..

ev line rostucko though



session was beyond lifetilting

Nopez lol flop check. Lost 1 mln of value.

this maybe

Take the population of students who have between 10K-50K total HUNL lifetime hands.

Lets assume playing NL50 HU zoom is effectively equivalent to playing regs.

How many hours of coaching would it take to regularly beat that game for >10bb/100?

How many additional hours of "homework" would it take the student to achieve that wr?

2-3 hours of coaching and it's a baby game

Damn, do you coach?

Ask Syndr0m, I played him a bit and he's good and has very good prices I believe.

I don't think that's true

I didn't want to presuppose anything too controversial. Is it fair to say at any given time that someone playing NL50 zoom would be more likely than not to be playing more than 50% of total hands against players who are showing up in the games more than 4 times in any 30 day period? I think it is, maybe not?

Still though the effect of random fish in the games is somewhat neutralized by the difficulties of information management and low sample sizes. So that is an additional point for the
"effectively equivalent" argument.

never played 50nl zoom but always seems to have a decent amount of players running all the time, i would imagine rake at 50nl is a bitch its bad enough at 100.

at 100nl there is a massive difference between playing peak times and playing 2am gmt onwards. You can give yourself the best chance of winning by playing peak times and sitting out when the player pool becomes small and reg infested.

also personally i find zoom different than standard reg on reg, its a lot harder when your playing 3 tables and against some regs you need to open 100% and others you need to open 75-80% some you need to cbet far more and others you need to check back top pairs.

keeping track of these strategies every hand is a different reg is a lot different than playing the same reg on multiple tables.

id say in general the regs at 100nl are far from unbeatable there are a handfull of "good" regs a lot of mediocre regs and a few bad regs as well as fish.

you still get regs playing 60% buttons and 45% oop.

I would imagine 200nl is a lot tougher as its a limit where you can make decent $ so you get higher stakes regs generally starting the tables and sitting. The upside is the rake is a lot better for playing regs.

the best thing that could happen is forced play in the lobbies that way if you want to get action at a limit then you dont have to play vs a reg that plays 2 or 3 limits above.

having said all this i think 5-10bb/100 is achievable at 100nl the more you play peak times and sitout when it gets tougher the higher end you will be maybe even more than 10bb/100

im sure one or two regs crush even harder


would love to see some graphs of hu zoom decent samples although the only people that tend to post will be the ones on the higher end than average

Are we allowed to post graphs here?

yes or could make a giraffe thread

People who know who I am please don't tell

nice one first decent sample ive seen, decent winrate too.

It's not that simple. Coaching isn't a magic pill. There's a huge amount of variables that come into play here that makes it virtually impossible to answer this question. That being said, if someone has only 10-50k hands of lifetime HUNL experience we're probably talking about a fish, or at least someone who hasn't spent enough time playing and studying the game so will be likely missing some key fundamentals and lack handreading skills and/or the ability to analyse hands effectively. There's a big difference between a player like this, and someone with years of experience who already has a good poker brain but just needs someone to steer him in the right direction a bit.

While decent coaches can most certainly point out your biggest flaws within the first hour, it will take most students a lot of time and effort to go from a marginal winner to a 10bb/100 player. There is no secret numbers of hours you're supposed to put in to start seeing magical changes. Just play, review, repeat. Every single day.

That's high praise! Thanks

And lift, since Feb,

Bingo!

haha i insta realized who you are after i saw your redline.

Does anyone know roughly how much vpp per hand your earning at nl200/400 (and zoom if rake is different there) ?
