Xolos game looks fun as hell. HMU next time you go! (zachery.schneider on skype)

Hehe I think my mental game is pretty strong when it comes to dealing with swings (and with SNGs in general), helps being backed and knowing your backer is very well rolled for the swings. EV line looking alright helps as well

Biggest leak atm with my mental game is unregging for day from MTTs on Saturday because of a bad start, just did it again today altho today I'm ridic tired as well which is why I did it

Tyty, gl to you as well

Glgl, don't think ruse grinds tho anymore, more of a pog than i am

Def will, think might go to a playoff game if they make it, they did a lot better last yr than this

Short update as I'm tired and OI. Didn't play much yday, think -4k in 16 games. Played a lot of OFC and went out to dinner with Ruse and cozzyorlando and then was up late as Surrealz and his gf drove down from Vegas to get some his stuff from my place as I just cleared out his condo for him when his lease was up. All in all, busy day which didn't end up leaving much time to grind....most of the times I looked at the lobbies the games looked ****ty anyway.

Already unreg'd from everything today, just too tired to grind right now. Probs shoulda just not set an alarm, hypers are usually good saturday morning though, both in terms of softness and amount of volume, but today that didn't happen. Probs go take a long nap after finishing my last couple mtts and then just play a few hypers/maybe turbo mtts tonight and get to bed around 9-10pm so I can be up and ready to go at 5am tomorrow to get in the 109 kickoff and 109 turbo


Gla this weekend

Your mental game must be god mode after what you've been through. Do you doubt yourself a lot during downswings? I've found when I go on downswings, even if they're completely standard, I start doubting my ability. Not like I ever consider quitting or anything, but I do stuff like second guess every play I make and get results oriented a lot.

I remember that feeling of snap unregging MTTs. It's like, you're starting off bad and getting frustrated and you can't even imagine putting in another 8 hours of grinding. That habit must be really tough to brake. I feel like when I get that frustrated when I play cash now, it takes like, 5 minutes of "de-tilt time" before I can get back to a clear head.

It might be triggered by like getting stacked on 2 tables at once or something. Obv easier to tilt when on downswings. I normally dont have to sit out anymore, just be aware I'm tilting... and maybe complain on skype for a minute. :P

Honey oil hangover?

Just found out I need to charge that pen everyday so it actually hits way harder.

Yea for the most part, the thing I do the most when I'm DSing is marking more hands to make sure my ranges are still on point. I don't think I ever tilt on the tables anymore, can't remember the last time I actually tilted while grinding hypers and just started shoving/calling too wide/not caring, might honestly be before I even moved to Mexico ~18-19 months ago.

The MTT 'tilt' doesn't happen to me on Sunday really ever because there's so many good tourneys throughout the day, Saturday I just get OI because there's not a ton of big ones. It's definitely a leak though, and I need to get better about it. I notice I quit the Saturday sessions much more often when I've gone to bed really late the night before, need to just start waking up later those days and not worrying about waking up at 4:30am, although sucks missing those early morning hypers before all the regs get on .

I've never grinded cash, but I feel like I could get steamy losing a couple bi's quick, and would probably do the same thing as you. Sit out on all tables, get some air, something to drink etc and get back at it.

Yea enough rambling on that, I think a lot of people have a really weak mental game and I don't really understand why....I guess the fact that I've put so much study into my game makes it easier on my end to just stay confident in myself and ride through the swoooooongs.

Nah no hangover off it, like you said, wasn't hitting that hard but I was hitting it a ton so was def feeling it. Just was up super late waiting for surrealz and gf to arrive.

Gl today broski

Eh built a big stack in the 109 miniftops 6m as I was typing this up, might end up putting in another hyper sesh while I'm stuck in this

Gla today!

Love the thread! Have a question if I may and pretty much ask every super/hyper player the same thing, do you ever have days when you just want to give up on hypers and go play turbos/ reg speed games? Personally I can't deal with the swings and wonder what is you secret to dealing with them. Also, what things would you see someone do to classify them as a bad/ weak reg? Thanks for you replies and gl!

Fmp

Loads and loads of strippers by the looks of it

Hey guys, I love the thread, sadly didn't really manage to read all of it.

I would like to ask you a really noob question, that is what BR would you recommend for playing micro stakes hypers, mainly 0.50$ - 1$ . What are the worst swings I could expect, from your exp ? (in BI)

Thank you in advance and sorry if this seems trivial to you.

whats the rake? 6m or 9m? Its all a factor of your roi rather than buyin. Since I assume youre not grinding those stakes for a living Id just start with 60 BIs and go from there. If you want a safer roll where youll be less likely to have to reload, go 100BI.

So yeah knowing better the exact roll youll need and swings to expect takes playing and seeing what your winrate is. And bankroll is kinda overrated cause most people will have cash they can deposit if need be or will borrow from poker roll if they need irl money.

So in short 60bi is good if its easy to reload. 100 good enough otherwise. Top ds will prob be between 100 and 200 bis, dependng on the format and your roi.

What site are you talking about? Stars doesnt spread below 1.50 hypers i think.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to make an idea about them. You can't really grind those for a living, I'd rather get accustomed to the format and learn to adapt to finding shoving spots.

Full Tilt has 0.50$ 6m hypers, but you start with 10 BB which I think changes the situation drastically, from the pov of the things described above, doesn't it? Or am I wrong?
