Won a buyin yesterday and placed 22nd in a 70k GT. Made up 8 more buyins in ~1k hands so far today. Taking a quick break then going to put in another 1k hopefully

1/2: 96k hands, 8.64 bb/100

Crossing 9bb/100 is going to feel so good.

Run good continued into my second session. Played 1400 more hands for a gain of 5 buyins. +13 buyins today over 2400 hands

1/2: 97k hands, 9.08 bb/100

Slowly but surely...

good luck w/ the goal man. I always root for the US grinders.

How is DriveHud working for u? I was thinking of getting it but not sure how useful it would be on Ignition

Thanks man. Good luck to you as well.

I like HM2 better, but it gets the job done. In my experience ~20 hands is enough to get an idea of who you're playing against based on vpip and pfr. Plus, I end up playing 100+ hands on each table most sessions, and there's usually a reg or two who I get a good sample on. Can't wait for graphs to be added though

$1/$2: 99k hands, 9.57 bb/100
$2/$5: 7k hands, 7.86 bb/100

100k Giraffe???

I wish I had graphs to post I use Drivehud, which doesn't have any of the graphs that HM2 does. From what I understand, graphs will be added to the software at some point, so when that happens I'll post them here.

Oh how is it? And when you transitioning up full time?

It does the job, but the lack of graphs sucks.

I've been playing full time since June

No I meant to 500, now that you've played a hearty 200 sample?

gl man following, had no idea you had a thread.

Not until January probably. I've set aside most of my winnings as savings and investments, and I've needed some of it for rent etc., so my BR hasn't grown enough for me to be properly rolled for 2/5. I started 1/2 significantly under rolled, but I don't want to do that again and risk losing a significant chunk of my BR in a downswing.

Also, when I play tough 1/2 tables I still feel comfortable playing my game and making (almost) all the right decisions. I don't always feel 100% comfortable on the 2/5 tables, and I find that I make more mistakes because the stakes are higher. Once I'm consistently playing my A game and feel completely comfortable with the stakes, I will slowly transition over.

Thanks max!

Only played 400 hands so far today, but I'm up 3.5 buyins. I'm now at 9.88bb/100.

... huh?

last hand is painful. glgl

Yeah, I can't ask for a higher equity spot than that lol.

600 hand session, -5.5 buyins. Final tabled the $100 10k GT and took 8th for ~$430, so I finished the day almost even overall.

$1/$2: 100,000 hands @ 9.26 bb/100

Kinda agonized over this one. He's repping super thin though. His only set is 77, and he could have 97s, A9s, and A7s for value also, but that's it. He's a fish with a WWSF of only 30% and he had been pretty passive.

Then, I did some really stupid ****. Decided to 2 table 6max 5/10 pretty buzzed and late at night on Friday. Started off up 2 buyins, then ran bad/played bad and ended up stuck a half buyin before I logged off. No big deal though. Decided not to play 5/10 again until I've played a lot more 2/5.

Then I got drunk Saturday night and lost a buyin within 10 hands of opening a 5/10 table. I'm an idiot

So, no more 5/10. I'm not letting it happen again.

Ran really well at 1/2 and 2/5 today. Made like 12 sets in 1k hands. +6 buyins at 1/2 and +2 buyins at 2/5.
