I'm in for the follow. Cool challenge and it's uplifting to read your intro considering all the negativity out there these days on this forum. Last month I was in a bit of a rut with my grind and reading that "bot" thread in NvG was sort of depressing with all the "you are stupid if you play online poker in 2019" comments, etc. At that point I decided to stop reading that kind of nonsense and focus on the more positive light of online poker. The majority of people playing online poker are playing "honest" and/or are in it to have fun. It's when you realize that only a small percentage of people have it in their DNA to be willing to cheat others and then an even smaller percentage of that group are capable of doing it successfully without getting caught that you realize it's not as big of an issue that some people make it. Especially in the lower to mid stakes online and I'm happy to see a fellow grinder proving that point on here.

Couple of questions as my volume has been really bad overall during this past decade considering I'm quite quick with my decisions overall. My turbo ratio is very similar to your ratio although I mix SnGs as well most of the time.

How many hands per hour do you get on average?
Do you use audio alerts and/or animation on your tables?
Do you use hotkeys for fold and call?

I'm always digging for information from the better multi tabling guys and it's much appreciated, thanks.

I play exploitative style. Vs better players I will balance more and play a bit more tricky/surprising, base my game more on simplified GTO strategies.(small c-bets work vs regs as well).

Could you elaborate on this a bit more? Mainly the part about how you simplified your game (things you do, things you avoid), but also the rest as well.

Hey, I don't think posting EV BB would be that interesting, because I think it should stay fairly similar the whole time other than small variance change. Unless I go crazy.

Here are the results so far:

Absolutely. We should avoid reading negative things. It will only affect us negatively, unless we think there's some real cheating going on and the games are unbeatable and we need to solve the problem. Especially 2+2 for some reason feels extremely negative, when it comes to this. Not a lot of positive threads, at least not on News and views and gossips.

I probably get around 800 hands per hour or similar.

Yes, I use audio alerts, but only audio. I don't like the chip sounds etc. Too big of a mess then.

I use stack&tile program to setup my tables. I have the right mouse button setup for folding, one button for betting and one for calling.

PartyPoker seems to crash my computer for some reason. It seems to slow my computer down a lot. Lobby and everything works sketchy. I vote Party's software the worst in business.

How do you manage to have a positive non-showdown line in low stakes? Mine is going down the hill, especially in low stakes.

Bluff in the right spots, play aggressive, defend your blind and steal blinds.
