Put in a decent grind today and was pleased to make back some of my losses. Started mixing in som2 2knl too. Will be playing 400-2k from now on so will hopefully have some some big (winning?!) hand histories



rekt vs weaker reg. Both not a fan of his call or my river sizing. Peoples calling ranges here are strangely inelastic, but i guess that's a product of misapplying blockers/solvers

            CCleaner is a nice free app for maintenance.

            Also, if the db isn't already backed up then do it. Either in a OneDrive/Dropbox kind of thing or on a stick/hard drive. I bet it's worth a lot of money to you, might as well be smart about keeping it safe.

            Try downloading a program called Treesize, it's very good for pointing out programs that you may not be aware are using up so much space. And if you go into the Windows section, you should be able to delete a whole load of old Windows updates if you've had the system a while, but obviously be careful doing so.

            Very nice thread btw ^ will be following.

            CCleaner was a godsend for me when I had a limited space HDD. Always free'd up like 5-10% when I ran, which was like once every few weeks.

            Other option, invest some of that 10k NL dorras into a larger hard drive

            Careful giving CCleaner access to registry cleanup. I had a fatal registry issue for my hard drive that coincides with my use of CCleaner in that regard. Don't have direct evidence but from what I read after the registry cleaner is useless anyway so better safe than sorry.

            I would recommend windirstat if you are using windows to give you a visual overview of where your bottlenecks might be.

            Thanks for all the feedback regarding the cleanup - i went down the temp files route and it cleared 42gb

            I have another problem now (i think my pc being close to full has messed up several programs, including stars - everything went back to default settings which was a nightmare).

            My problem now is starshelper. It says it's running but none of my preflop/postflop sizes + the image below are working





            Have tried running the newest version and re-downloading it but doesn't seem to help...

            Anyone have any ideas?

            PSQL logging is disabled by default with the HM2 installer but if you installed it manually, or with PT4, that FAQ above will show you how to disable logging and delete existing logs you don't need.

            There is also this FAQ for easy ways to free up space without having to use CCleaner.

            cheers boss! They're pretty similar tbh, recs tend to be tighter at zoom though and regs at the regular tables are a bit weaker overall. Generally the reg table guys play far more exploitably
