Hi. My name is Martin and I have lots of time on my hands for the next 7 or so months due to dropping out of uni for the year (will be going back in October) because of depression.

I’m therefore looking to do something “productive” with my time so going to learn hyper turbo HUSNG’s to see where I can get with them.

Background

I’ve been playing poker for 5 or so years, playing up to nl50 on various sites with varying degrees of success. One thing that I have always lacked is dedication to anything in my life and this is what I’m going to change, starting today.

This is my hyper graph, playing the $1.50 games. Around the 750 game mark I really started to understand the way that you need to adjust to other peoples play. At this level people are so exploitative. I don’t really have tilt problems so the variance in the hyper HUSNG’s not massive deal for me.



My long-term goals are:
[ ] Get to at least the $15 level by the time I go back to university
[ ] Don’t become stagnant in how I play (always want to be a better player)
[ ] Have some structure to my life
[ ] Get “poker” friends that have similar goals


My short term goals are:
[ ] Get to the $3.50 games by late April
[ ] Play on average a 40 hour week
[ ] Go to the gym 5 times a week
[ ] Some form of study one hour a day
[ ] Read the Mers ebook and watch the chadders0 vids(watched them a few times but always learn something with each watch)
[ ] Update the post daily

Br is currently at $150 for the sake of having 100 buyins to start the challenge
Thanks for reading!

Good luck man seems like alot of people are getting into hypers lately

maybe hypers arent the best cure for depression

haha poker doesn't get to me mentally, unlike other things :P

Yeah TBH playing any kind of poker with real cash is a kind of stress, even if you see it is as insignificant stakes and which therefore I believe will lead to downswing. Every BI is important.
Depression is an impairment of your mind and you need it to repair to fully recover.

Lol regretting putting anything about it now :P
I guess it will be interesting to see what happens with it then.

GL buddy

Reaching the $15 is sick easy if u play 40hours a week.

Well today didnt go to great.



Lots of coolers. Pair over pairs and alot of standard stuff that are just what they are.

Struggled to adjust to people who were limping alot and 3betting like every hand. I tightened my open range and had a wider limping range but things didnt seem to go great. Not sure if this is correct so would like to hear peoples opinions on how to adjust correctly to people who are 3betting alot. My ideas are that i should just have a value open range and call off wider?

Volume was soso. Its a Saturday and i do alot of shopping and stuff so only 3 hours time played.
Im one tabling because i want to think about what im doing.

If anyone would like to talk on skype about hyper stratergy just put your skype add and ill add you.

Tomorrow ill be going to the gym, probs do chest and tris and i hope to play around 6-7 hours.

Thanks, Martin
