Whats up guys.

I have a little goal here for myself to never redeposit on stars.

A little about myself:

I am 26 year old Australian currently living in Sweden. I have been playing poker for around 6 years started following it after watching "Icegate" win the main event.

Anyway since moving here in Feb I have lost around 2k all up as I have had a lot of free time due to not working full-time which annoyed me but more then anything made my girl angry which is def something I don't want.

My worst trait is tilting and playing cash games big no no I know but when I'm tilting its bye money hello whale.

I mostly play ht hu sngs nlh and plo and mtts at the moment I have an $80 roll and although I want to make money my main goal is to never redeposit on stars. Back in syd I would of been depositing 500=1000k a month for at least 2 years which not much success and maybe a couple of cash outs.

Life is really good at the moment so I can't complain I believe the positivity
is flowing into my poker game and making me realise at the end of the day its just a game.

I don't have PT4 as I am not sure whether it will benefit me playing lower stakes. Then again it may be the best purchase I ever make.

I will try to update daily.

Cheers

GL dude, definitely get pt4. without it ur playing with a BLINDFOLD on

I suggest the book The Mental Game of Poker. Also, the video series The Eightfold Path to Poker Enlightment and ANYTHING to do with bankroll management.

Also, though I like your goal of never depositing again it seems too vague. How are you going to reach this goal? You could do it by never playing again. Or ensuring you always have 100 BI for the stakes your playing. (Which unfortunately is still no guarantee).

Wither HEM or PT4 is a must for most serious players. The ability to save hands, review sessions and track your results alone easily makes up for the money spent.

I am currently playing 10NL and can say that the HUD is also useful very often. Using it to write notes about villain tendencies relative to how we play or how the general population play is a $$$ maker.

GL at the tables!

Tried the 30 day trial but wasn't really sure if I was even using it right. Think I used the default Hud and wasn't sure what I should be looking for in terms of stats for other players, i.e. whats bad and whats good

Thanks for the advice mate.

my main problem is playing and loosing say 5 hypers in a row then jumping into cash games, I guess what I want to do is to be able to control my frustration by sticking with hypers. IMO they are beatable if you stay focused.

Did you find PT4 hard to work out at the start?

PT4 has a learning curve like any other program. The trick is to learn piece by piece and figure out what is valuable information to you at this time. i.e. HUDs are great but there are only a couple of useful stats when your hand sample is small, say 200 hands or less.

I believe using it to analyze your own game through hand histories is much more valuable at the micros then the HUD. If you have any questions concerning PT4 you can PM me so that I don't derail your thread. Be advised though I am not a HU player so I won't be able to put any info towards what the general population tendencies look like on a HUD for that game.

I think I will buy PT4 tomorrow to be able to post my stats and questions that I have to better improve my game. I always have so many spots that I end up in and have no clue what I should be doing.

I posted a question in the heads up forum and the responses were fantastic.

Will post a graph when available

Have now purchased PT4, trying to get my head around it . It's an exciting learning curve.

Didn't play many games today as I have been playing with PT4. From what I can see so far its a useful program and should help me improve my game.

I have a graph of yesterday that I will try to upload.



As its already 1am in Sweden I have played around 15 games for today and when I wake up I will try to play another 35. Will post results later tonight.

Cheers

Graph for yesterday:

Ok guys I reached my goal today of playing 50 games which I am happy about all this whilst only one tabling and making some money.

PT4 is great for me as I am enjoying viewing my hands and posting the troubling ones to the forums for advice.

WIll try to play at least 50 games a day until I have played 1000 then will take a shot at the 3.5, I preferred to be over rolled so as to be able to better deal with the inevitable downswing.

Take a look at the hand below villain has previously limp folded a number of hands previous. I just want to know was my shove a bad play.?

Hey guys

Have been grinding hard lately and having fun at the same time. PT4 is really helping me with my game and I have now added the coffee yay hud as well, shout out to my Skype group for the awesome pointers and hand reviews means a lot.

I am 90% through a $10 stellar reward so will cash that in soon and have around 300fpps. I am not sure whether to get 1000fpp and cash in for another $10 or play the sats to the sunday storm, will ask around.

ill post my graph for today which is mostly 1.50 with a few 3.50.

Good Luck all

Hey OP,

First of all, great goal! Think it's a real progress to set your mind for never depositing again.

Aswell some great graphs you got there! May I ask how big BR you're using to mix 1.5 and 3.5 hypers?

Also use the fpps for 70fpp HT to sunday storm - Very soft

Also you might want to try exploiting the world of multitabling - You're only playing 1 table at a time right? Or did I read wrong?

Hey Alex

I am not really mixing 1.50 and 3.50 I mostly play 1.50 95% of the time.

Will look into those satellites, cheers.

Still one tabling as I want to be crushing the stakes before I decide to play two tables and to also move up

Ah, i get it now.

About the multitabling it's ofcourse important to be a winning player before beginning to play multiple tables, but when multitabling your specific reads on people doesn't come into play that much at these stakes (If you're multitabling like 10+) so you could try focusing on learning to make the right decisions fast, based on stack sizing and try to rely on your hud more - All this of course if you intend to begin multitabling
