I see you have been playing deep tables sometimes. How do you find them v normal?
I played some 10 deep tables yesterday and found them better than the regular. I am wondering whether to stick at them for a while oris it counter-productive if it affects your game when you return to regular.
sry i missed this when i looked here last time.

I have dropped the deep tbls for now because they require adjustments i currently dont want to introduce to my gameand i find it hard to play them along with regular tables. i do think ppl suck rly bad at deep tbls and ur winrate is gonna skyrocket in them if you play well and exploit some of their very obvious leaks.

BTN: $5 (100 bb)
SB: $5 (100 bb)
BB: $4.70 (94 bb)
UTG+1: $2 (40 bb)
UTG+2: $4.08 (81.6 bb)
MP1: $2.14 (42.8 bb)
Hero (MP2): $9.49 (189.8 bb)
MP3: $5.76 (115.2 bb)
CO: $2.16 (43.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 4 4
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 raises to $0.15, MP1 folds, Hero calls $0.15, 3 folds, SB raises to $0.55, BB calls $0.50, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.80) 8 4 2 (3 players)
SB bets $1.40, BB calls $1.40, Hero raises to $8.94 and is all-in, SB calls $3.05 and is all-in, BB folds

Turn: ($12.10) J (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($12.10) Q (2 players, 2 are all-in)
dont mind both flats pre. HAAAATE the flop jam. absolutely no need to jam here and allow ppl to make herofolds

thx for sharing this bro. I enjoy a few puffs when with friends chilling watching a game or sth but i ll just not use it as a means to get to sleep faster

Running at ev blakk! You lucky lucky man. You playing staked? Seem to remember reading you are, if you get moved up to 100 nl right now! And if you aren't after this start to the year you can move up anyway, it plays the same as 50nl from the little sample I've played.

Also when you play 25nl deep you but in 250bb or 100 still? Anyway keep up the good work, ill get in touch on skype too soon.

blakk,

what do you think are the reasons behind ur red line being so sexy?

i would have thought playing good regular tables, most $ comes from fish who cant fold?

do you just crush the regs hard or smthing?

glgl as alwyas!

sup bro! indeed am playing staked and i am in the process of getting a solid sample at 50nl under my belt in order to convince my backer to move me up only 40k hands at 50nl since last year and only 28k hands so far this year. my winrate over that sample sounds fairly convincing tho (10bb-odd) so i m pretty sure i ll hit 100nl not too far down the road. cant wait and looking forward!

i buyin full at every table. altho tbh i never have thought about buying in 100bb at ante tables. could potentially be a golden idea that u plantet in my head so thx for that!

sweet, how do you get the FTP software on Stars?

I get so fed up with stars boring software, FTP is so much clearer and more fun too.

Too bad FTP is a bit **** at the moment, low traffic, crap store, and also the fact that in SN on stars, just seems daft to move away from stars.

if you can let me know how to get it, would be appreciated.

Alright, my head is literally about to burst. I played 8.33 hours today running like a cripple for the majority of the night. for some reason friday night games werent as juicy as i expected so naturally variance was a bigger factor as i was playing vs regs on most tbls quite a bit. luckily most regs suck too.

caught a heater in the end and decided to not challenge my fortnes given the way i ran tonight

Hey blakk, quick question cos I know you're pretty knowledgable with the whole fpp thing, I struggle in the hyper turbo 235s, I'm cashing in 1/4 or something terribad. Is it worth me just buying the $75 bonus for 6.5k fpp? Or should I just try grind it out?

Just made a bunch of bluffs that worked for once and a few flushes I think. Redline went pretty crazy in the last hour

Been 9tbling last three to four days but have been playing or running much worse than when I was playing 6. Will reconsider on Monday.

The return per fpp in that bonus is so ridic bad that even if u only cash 25% of those hypers you still get 0.002$/FPP more from hypers. The thing is if you don't enjoy hypers or if u don't wanna look into some hypers strat then save up the points obv

Also consider the amount of time u spend playing those fckers

im currently 6 tabling myself, and its so easy to pick up the small pots and to see peoples tendancies.

My redline is slightly losing though, only after like 3k hands though which is tiny sample, that was 6tabling 25nl.

Any tips on increasing the redline? do you just try and bomb flops and turns big to get folds?
Obviously it doesnt matter if my redline is decresing if im still making profit, could just be down to my slightly more passive postflop skills (even though leaktracker says im too agrro and to frequently)
