Hey everyone,

I am making this thread to track my progress to becoming a Hyper Turbo HUSNG pro. I started out about a month ago playing the $6.18s on ACR with a $100 bankroll. I am now shot taking the $60s using aggressive bankroll management with a $2,149.82 bankroll.

A little about myself: I am 25 years old. I was a mid-high stakes MTT pro before black friday. Even though I made decent money, I definitely wasn't at a place in my life where playing poker professionally was something I should have been doing. Having bad bankroll management,being an alcoholic, and spending wayyyy too much money at the clubs is the reason I didn't move out of this country to continue playing post BF. I don't have anything to show for my past with poker.

Since then, I have had two “real” jobs. The first was fracking for an oilfield services company named Schlumberger. I made great money there but had proposed to my girlfriend at the time and decided being away from home for 2 weeks or more at a time while only spending a few days home wasn't what I wanted to do. When I quit Schlumberger I decided to get my residential contractors license even though I had never done any type of construction in my life.

I have been working the past year or so in that field and enjoy my job most of the time. Other times it is very frustrating (even more so than poker used to be when I played professionally lol). I make decent money doing this but I get bored with normal jobs so easy. I've never kept a job for more than a year. I will be keeping this job until I get a bankroll I feel comfortable enough with to stop working.

I just got rid of my ex-fiancee and am now free to play poker and do what I want again. I am so happy to get on with my life and do something that I enjoy.

I created this thread to keep me motivated to reach my goal of moving out of this country to play poker professionally once again. If poker gets going in the US again I would be much more happy staying here though.

I subscribed to husng.com a while back and have been studying the hypers a lot watching a ton of vids and reviewing my play using PT4. I can't figure out how to do a lot of stuff I want to do on PT4 though so I am definitely not reviewing my game as well as I would like.

As of now, I have only played about 2.4k HU hypers so def don't have near enough games to even know if I am a winner I don't guess. I do have good results thus far, though. On my new computer I have 1.5k games tracked with an overall 8.09% ROI (obviously not sustainable). My average ROI over those games is 5.2%. Maybe I am starting this thread a little prematurely since I haven't played near enough to have an idea what my true winrate is, but I feel I am much better than most of the regs on ACR even though I still make a ton of mistakes. I feel like I am definitely a winner up through the $36 games so far.

I will also be playing a few MTTs on this site. Since black friday I haven't had any success in MTTs other than final tabling the Lock Poker 100k gtd. Luckily, I got my money off there before it became monopoly money.

Feel free to ask me a bunch of questions. I haven't been active on poker forums in the past but hope to now. I am not going to promise anything but I hope to at least update this thread a couple times per week. I will try to figure out how to post graphs and stuff tomorrow.

Warning: This thread could easily end up with me playing 5knl and throwing my bankroll away. I truly hope those days are behind me though haha.

I currently play on ACR under the screen name myPPisHUGE.

good write, GL escaping the ratrace!

Goooooo zmeyer!!!

Best of luck. Is your poker bankroll a stand alone roll or do you plan on taking out living expenses from it?

I'd be prepared to step down if you hit some turbulence as you have less than 40 buyins for the $60 and we all know the amounts of flips (variance) involved.

Currently my plan is to just take a couple BI shot at the $60s after a good day at the $24s/$36s. I 4 table up to the $36s right now but I am only playing 1 at a time when I play the $60s.

I don't think I would drop below the $24s again unless I just went busto and had to redeposit. I understand huge swings happen so basically all I am doing at this point is hoping the run good continues until I reach about $3k in my bankroll. Once at $3k I will start withdrawing money occasionally. I don't have any set plan as of yet when it comes to taking x amount of money out.

Here is my graph from tracked tournaments on my new computer so far.

ACR is down so I figure now is as good a time to update as any. I plan on playing more today if ACR comes back online but I have put in decent volume already.

I think what I am going to do is post daily, weekly and monthly graphs. The first one below is May 1st and the 2nd graph is today. I will also be posting some threadsavers shortly because I was told it is a must to have a decent thread haha.





Obviously running good to start the month. I hope it continues.

GL sir i play the turbos on Acr

Finally got my bankroll above $3k! Thats not very important but for some reason I look at it as some kind of milestone lol.

I had first planned on taking shots at the $60s a lot but decided not to for now. This is probably the first time in my poker career where I haven't jumped at the chance to play higher stakes.

Below is a graph of today as well as all the games tracked on this database so far. Hopefully I keep running hot. Finally decided to put some threadsavers in too...

GL to you too. What is your name and what stakes do you play if you don't mind me asking?

gl op

FT of the $55 2k... 9/9 so not lookin good and it only pays $741 anyway but that would be a nice boost to the BR

Been a while since an update. I have decided I need $20k before i can move out of this country to play poker. That would give me a decent bankroll for $60 hypers and 100NL if I find out I am a winner at that. That would also give me over 6 months living expenses.

I haven't put in much volume since the last update but here are my results. I just started playing cash today so hopefully I am a much better hand reader than before from playing the hypers and I can beat 100NL.

Cash -


Hypers -


Also, I've been running like **** and playing bad in MTT's. Had a really nice stack in the $215 50k with 24 left and decided to shove 22 on a 4567 board lol. My thought process is kinda whack sometimes when I've been drinking. I was also chip leader in the $162 15k with 15 left and ended up busting 13th. KK<AT, 44<AK, and TT<JT all within like 10 hands.

I won a satellite to the $162 but ended up shooting 3 bullets at the $215. I definitely need to stop that ****. I really want to make this work this time.

Cash graph so far:



I have a lot of leaks at 6 max but feel that I am still better than many of the regs. Obviously that is a small sample so I could def be a loser but I am trying to work on my game so hopefully if I am I won't be for long. I play 31/24 with 10% 3b so I guess that is a pretty high variance style.

taking a drunken 1BI shot at 400NL... lost 200 to start but up to $710.45 now lets go

How did you go down below 1K$?

30BI is WAY too agressive for hyper HU.

I don't play hypers, and I don't play your level, but I used a bit more than 30BI on regular HUs.
100BIs is a good conservative management.
I guess the reason you are playing with such a loose BRM is because you have more money and you can just top up if you go broke. If not, go back to 36s until you hit 4K, or start playing a bit of 60$s but make sure you have the balls to drop down back to 36s if you go below 30BIs.

How many tables do you play at a time?
Hands are always interesting...

My bankroll is currently at $4.3k. I do use aggressive BRM but nothing too crazy except the occasional drunk 1BI shot at something i have 10BI for lol. I don't mind dropping down in stakes at all if I hit a downswing. I really want to do it right this time (although obviously I can't help but to degen sometimes). One drunken night could be the end of me I guess, but even though I am playing 2/4 atm I don't think it will be. Other than this I haven't taken too many stupid chances thus far.

Also, I realize playing above the stakes my bankroll allows is a huge leak, especially when drunk. Right now there are two huge fish at the table though so I'm gonna keep playing lol.

1/10thBroll HU matches?
I have done stupid things like that, they usually make me see the lower stakes I was playing "worthless". And that drove me to being tempted into playing more 1/10th Broll.
If you do something stupid, and up your broll by an amount that would have taken weeks with your old "correct" BRM, you'll have an even harder of a job following your old BRM.
I usually punishing myself by not playing for the rest of the day if I take a shot at a high table.
I still keep doing it sometimes, but at least I never get into a streak of "shots at a higher table."

"Taking drunken shots" is probably your biggest challenge, you should adopt a religious management, "NOTHING OVER X" only reconsidering after reaching certain bankroll.
You might miss some good games, but it's a price to pay for not being part of the group of people with absolute self control.

you got this zmeyer

LETS GO!
