Dude! If your bankroll is $2000, what are you doing buying in live cash games for around $400? And at one point you had around $1800 on the table?

Gazz

I too got dealt in a milestone hand.

I though won that hand - at 25 NL and so binked a 1030.00! Plus a 300+BB pot w J7o

Ive been playing at 25NL with a lot of BI now and got a few things to talk about. I mix in the deep stack and got a few interesting results. I must admit that my daemon bust my nut and I tilted off a bit of that 1030.00. Clawing it back now or not so much clawing as trying to steal it very quickly. Much better results with aggro play.

Would consider skyping and would love to discuss HH but wary of all this teamviewer stuff...

Don't worry I'm getting staked for live games. I'm not crazy!! Yeah the games are so soft and juicy that any decent online player should have a pretty good hourly there.

Wow nice job on the milestone hand! Pretty good feeling to just ship in many many BBs with ATC and expecting a good pay day huh?!

I'm sure you will claw back up anyway, move up to 50NL soon!!

Skyping is fine, don't need to teamview anyway

Meh so I've recently decided I really want to get to Supernova by the end of the year and I still need 60K vpps, I am aware I would need to get a lot more volume and probably change game to be able to do this.

So I was just experimenting with turbo/hyper turbo and 5050 games between $7 and $15 and still deciding on what to do meh.

But heres my graph for these mix of games from yesterday.



Anyone got any tips for grinding vpps? Like what to play? I don't wanna play HU hypers as I seem to only be able to play 6 at a time and I have not much experience HU. I'd have to play 200 $15 STTs a day which shouldn't be too bad or 661 $7 hypers. I guess I can just about afford to play the $30 games so I could try that too... I feel like I have a pretty solid SNG game from my DoN and MTT history but any advice let me know!

Session Profit : $301.83
Total Profit : $1787.61
Bankroll : $2287.61

Sick progress. Also +1 that the girl from lost is hot :P

It's quite possibly love! So I've been playing $30 hyper turbos atm to grind VPPs, need to play like 200 a day which I think is easily doable unless I start losing a lot.

Played 74 so far and running pretty well. I'd be happy to breakeven these games fwiw.

Session Profit : $167.16
Total Profit : $1954.77
Bankroll : $2454.77

Are u going for sn with those hypers ?

Yeah I'm trying to, really got a lot of volume to get through to get there.

Running extremely well, playing okay, just gotta keep the pace up..



Session Profit : $321.24
Total Profit : $2276.01
Bankroll : $2776.01

Bit ill at the moment but still gonna try and get 300-400 more games in tonight.

So cash is on hold until next year?

OMG that graph is almost vertical up for 11 games lol.

Haha I am running pretty well, what can I say!

Nah, still going to play a session now and then but my main focus is getting supernova!

Going to finish for today, not feeling too well, really fatigued

This is my graph since start of $30 hyper turbos which I started today... doubt I will run as good tomorrow but enjoy it while it lasts



Session Profit : $345.24
Total Profit : $2621.25
Bankroll : $3121.25

So I've played about 700 of these games now and man they are too swingy for my BR.... I appreciate I was above EV for a large section but to have such a big downswing whilst EV breaking even?! Really?!

So I then turned to playing normal $30 turbos 6 max and I can play about 25 of them at once, whilst obtaining less swings and higher ROI imo and also higher rake so faster VPPS! I'm going to play these atm as my roll can't handle the hypers.

Ignore that it says "normal speed" under HEM, as for some reason it thinks they are regular speed.



Bankroll : $2469

Well I reached platinum for this month earlier, nice feeling

Just had to post this hand..


Poker Stars $27.84+$2.16 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t100/t200 Blinds + t25 - 2 players
DeucesCracked Poker Videos Hand History Converter

BB: t4535 M = 12.96
Hero (BTN/SB): t4465 M = 12.76

Pre Flop: (t350) Hero is BTN/SB with 3 Q
Hero raises to t400, BB calls t200

Flop: (t850) 3 3 3 (2 players)
BB bets t800, Hero calls t800

Turn: (t2450) 2 (2 players)
BB bets t1600, Hero calls t1600

River: (t5650) 6 (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t240, BB calls t240

Final Pot: t6130
BB mucks T K
Hero shows 3 Q (four of a kind, Threes)
Hero wins t6130

Swings high
Bankroll low

So I am mixing in $15 games with the $30 games aswell now.



Starting next session I will update how many VPPs I have earnt in the session and total so far.


I have 35055 at the moment.

Session Loss : $166.94
Bankroll : $2302.06
VPPs : 35055

Yeah umm if anyone has any motivational speeches or whatever let me know. Not gonna make supernova, back to 25NL

Bankroll : ~1K meh

6 tabling HU with not much experience is massively -EV. I've played 10k+ HUs and I struggle to play more than 3 or 4 on stars because of the dealing speed. It's slightly easier on a network like ipoker though.

Yeah I never played HU in the end, probably would have lost less playing it! I'm glad I don't really tilt so got right back to the grind.

Played like 1.5K hands of 50NL with awful BRM but I think it's going okay..

Ran below which I'm used to but it's just nice to have a winning session rather than lose and lose and lose and lose at SNGs.



Session Profit : $57.90
Total Profit : $437.90
Bankroll : $937.50

Good luck mate, played at broadway last night, you weren't there were you? People play so bad some indian guy was going mental playing cash too. Ofc I ship 12bbs from the buTton and get snapped off by aa in the bb

Wow was like nearly going last night too but I was too ill and tired ended up sleeping haha. Yeah there are quite a few bad indian players, I know what you mean! What was it like last night? Did you reload or just leave?

So I may still get supernova! My backer is staking me for 100NL so that I can get supernova on a 50:50 basically.

Heres a little calculation to work out how much I need to play

Current VPPs : 39649
Required VPPs : 60351
VPPs/Hand at 100NL : 0.364
Hands Required : 165800
Hands/Hour : 900
Hours Required : 185
Days Remaining : 48
Hours/Day : 3.84

Of course, I won't actually be able to play everyday so I hope to play 5-6 hours a day and get there. Haven't played 100NL in a long time so hope I run good and get on some good tables hehe.

First session, just a quick morning 4 tabling introduction session to 100NL.

Went pretty well, I analysed my game for 2 hours before starting too trying to adjust back to the way I used to play a few months ago. Definitely playing a completely different style, I mean at the micro stakes I played pretty showdown-orientated poker aiming to breakeven from NSDW, but now that I've moved up I think regs will get tougher and more winnings should come from non showdown and so I've had a look at a few videos I made from back when I played cash before for my own usage and a few videos on DTB, mainly Dusty Schmidt's and I've revamped my game before going back to cash.

The results are abundantly clear from the 2nd graph.
