glglgl!!!!

Ok pretty good day today ;

Ran really hot, which is nice, i dont feel the slightest bit bad, im still below EV since starting this thread and i put on EV adjusted because u can see, it might look breakeven, but i also have a decent EV ROI !



Also traded 100K fpps for 1.5K$ today

SO the balance is at ;
DAY 5
Today; 2850.04$
Today with rakeback; 4350.04$
So far this challenge ; 4584.04$

Money to go; 245.415,96$

im currently moving to a female friends place ^^
and will be there for a few days, ill try to get back to my desktop place by the 8th day of the challenge so we can do a week based analysis, and evaluate how far in we are, next few graphs will be macbook graphs, sorry

Here is according to sharkscope since beginning of this thread

JacktShipper 1.003 $3 $141 3% $2.741

its a lil bit off but close enough
because i did ST only so it didnt count the turbo/reg speeds sinc ei only played like 5 lol, but i played some 4mans which i did good in, and i think counting these, would rig the total score too much.

i want to have it mainly based ST

if i ship a 300$ 4man for 1.1K that obviously makes it look like i have 10% roi in STs if i only play one 4man in 1000 ST games and ship it every time, and obv isnt the intention of this thread ^^

packing up things to move to new place now, dont think ill play more today

gl at the tables yall ^^

glglglglgl! been following this since the start. love the ST vids and please don't post anymore! gonna let the fish get good, etc :P

Your doing amazingly well, congrats! Whats the plan btw, how much you need to find your own place? Maybe if you show 10k hard cash euro's to your parents they will say oh okay you make money, you can come live home again.

you guys realize JTS is a super star right?

50k in 50days

Nice video sir!

Around 13 minutes into the second video I think the dude you are sweating min-raises the A,Q because he had min-raised the previous hand and it is often hard for fish to get their heads round the concept of someone getting two good hands in a row, and so they will jam lighter. At least a fish who isn't such a ****ing nit!

Good luck!

that's in the op


subbed

you are my hero! subbing!

Was this a level? Or did you really skip over the entire first post in the thread?

seems like very soon i might do some coaching, ill let you guys know in here tho if anything notable happens ^^

thank you much appreciated

@DHCG, Shame on you sir, skipping the OP, but yes, i am a superstar

havent played yet today, living together with a good looking girl, its hard to play poker if you get my drift haha

I read the first post on the 22nd, and didnt click that link; I already know JTS, I dont need to click links to know more =P

gllllllllllll

gl man hope u make it!

hey just to clarify, $250k pre-rakeback or including the $100k+ u get as a SNE ?

GL man!!!

stop whoring outtt

glgl!

including rake back is the goal altho how i see it, 2% longterm ROI 4K games / month at abi 300

and this time now till end december to rebuild a decent roll

seems like both will be accomplished but ofcourse its a pretty sick grind esp because its near 16 months long, and everything can happen in poker, hence this thread is extra motivation, still haven't played today, will see how good inet is here (its pretty ****ty atm)

when do u normally start ur grind, midday or so?

still staying with that chick friend of yours?

moved back to place where my desktop is atm to get some work done for a day or two, inet was super****ty there, couldnt even fully download camtasia (screenrecording software)

so i didnt dare risking to play there so no games on macbook over the past few days

DAY 6;
0 GAMES things remain the same

Gonna get some DAY 7 volume in now, feel so lazy after not putting in any games yesterday

DAY 7

Only played a very limited amount of games, had alot of social activities to do and stuff, while living with girl hehe, so didnt get to play any there, but am very tired of it all, so i only played like 30ish games today, however i ran good so i really do not mind quitting now, altho usually i would play extra long, im just too tired and my game will suffer too much if i continue playing now

also u can see i filtered out 10$ games, reason is, i played some 7s for video purposes with a good other well known higher stakes reg, but makes the graph look really weird and we broke even except for 2$ rake or so, so i just kept those out of the graph to keep it plenty readable, by filtering below 10$ games away out of this one.



so up for the day;
2014.68$
Total up this challenge= +6598.72 $
Money to go ; 243.401,28$

2% complete +-

nice 2k day. you just made my bankroll in 35ish games

hey fastcolt, best of luck for your challenge!

i watched your video which was obv pretty solid, but i have a question about the second video, about 10:25 with 85hh: we are 12 bb's deep, why do you limit yourself to limping or shoving? i agree that against a lot of villains limping is fine, but against this kind of nit, isn't minraise/folding the play of choice? granted, he reshoved a bunch, but i don't necessarily think he is shoving ultralight against us, especially as we stopped raising 100%. also the statement "shoving is plus EV according to Nash" is plain wrong.

the rest was really good, thanks for making the video.

the way i see it, by minraise folding u are turning ur hand into a bluff mainly
starting preflop already!

on top of that in the rare occassion he does flat and u cbet pot to stack ratio will be pretty weird esp if ur not happy bet/calling flop with 2nd pair no kickers and stuff like that

i dont see any reason to think minraising will be optimal with our hand here really...

What makes u think it is? why do u argue for it?

shoving weilds about -0.1bb longterm expectation approximately

Which i worded as plus EV since it is BETTER THEN FOLDING maybe i mixexpressed that, but in my mind everything that is better then folding = makes us lose less chips = makes us win more chips = +EV (altho saying Plus Expected Value is idd wrong im sure u get my drift)

limping assuming some postflop playing skills, im surely limping wields even better expectation then -0.1bb possibly 0.0bb to +0.3bb simply because like u said villain has been jamming over a fair amount
and is a relative nit so we are gonna pick it up on the flop a ton of the time, and have a ton of equity on alot of diff boards

its not that i exclude minraising here, or that i limit my options, its just that in my mind minraising is fairly clearly the worst outt of our 3 options, hence i wouldnt advice it. not sure why u think im limiting myself or anything like that.


in a 15 min video i dont discuss the things i DONT do and why i dont do them :P I discuss what i think are the best options ^^

Thx for understanding and for the gl wishes
Whats ur sn again? i forgot

on this topic i still want to say at 12bbs till 9bbs i recommend minraising a range well balanced of 60% of monster hands u want to induce with and 40% of hands that are complete junk and u want folds with, but with reads percentages can shift to 100% monsters and 0% Junk, however 86s/85s etc i do not consider junk at all and am more then happy to see a flop with even this short. Especially at 30$ games where villain will most likely be weak / worse then me postflop.
And you are right, that statement is wrong, what i inteded to say was shoving is better then folding so according to nash jamming will wield better expectation then folding, hence we are losing less chips by jamming then by folding, hence jamming will be +EV longterm compared to folding. as our expected value of the game increases when we take slightly less losing chips moves.

I hope it makes sense feels like a huge tong twister

Back to old ladies telling me what i couldve been...
Today i wake up, and i see my grandma is visiting me, my desktop is at my parental home, where i can somehow at this point in time stay 1-2-3 days before tension rises high about poker and i have to go to live with friends for a few days untill everyones cooled down then i can come here and flip some again so im currently at my parents house

And i wake up and my grandma is here
and she gives me an entire 1 hour lecture about how dissappointed she is that she cannot be proud of me no matter how hard she tries and that poker or gambling only ends badly followed by her asking me if i dont know this from watching movies (? )

Very upset, down right now, and just so tilting that my family absolutely shows 0 support if i undertake any other goals in my life then getting a doctorate at a well respected university...

All i ever wanted was for them to be happy for me i found something that im this passionate and happy about....

thanks for expanding so much, i agree with you that in general this is a very good hand for either limping or shoving and one of those would be my default against most villains.

i only thought that against extreme nits like villain appeared to be it could be ok to just minraise-fold a huge range because it will show an auto-profit. but maybe if we do that he will start adjusting and 3betting too much, dunno.

but if he is for example 3betting 20%, flatting 20% and folding 60% we show a profit of 0.3BB+potequity in comparison to folding. if we win 25% of the pot on average when called we already win our small blind back. i pulled the numbers out of nowhere, but it's my impression of villain, maybe my assumptions are wrong?

and about the plus EV part, i was just pointing out that nash doesn't necessarily apply as villain might not be calling nash. villain is most likely calling tighter than nash so your conclusion is right though. i understand your definition of plus EV and see it the same way, if an option is better than folding then it is "plus EV".

my screenname is the same as here, but we never met each other and hopefully never will good luck again!

i feel you, as i have the same problem with my parents. i generally think very highly of my father and think he took alot of smart decisions in his life, but when it comes to poker, unfortunately he just switches off his brain and doesn't even try to understand why it is not just gambling and how i can be sure that i win longtime and how i can support it with statistical data. luckily for me it doesn't go as far as throwing me out of the house, i hope your success returns fast enough so that you can afford a place of your own. i am sure in some years when variance evens out you can convince them that it was the right choice
