Pleased to announce a good comeback AQ > A9 that lead to the win.

BR: $175
Bank: $25

Moving on to step 2

Here is the layout:

Step 0: $52

L - bank $4, done.
W - Go to Step 1

Step 1 (starting here): $104

L - done
W - bank $25. Bankroll: $175, go to step 2

Step 2: $104

L - bank $15, go to step 0
W - bank $25. Bankroll: $246, go to step 3

Step 3: $104
From this point on, wins will bank $25, losses will bank $15, and we will keep playing $104s whenever affordable. Otherwise, will drop to $52s and bank all but a $56 bankroll, starting at step 0.

If bank reaches $104, we will finish and the BR (which is entirely profit) will be shipped out on top of stakeback

The cut is 100/0 for the backer until we profit, then we're talking an 80/20 cut.

very nice so far. when are u going to continue?

Soonish

Bad end to the 2nd 104.
UTG was very loose and quite a bit of a fish. I actually expected his push here, so that didn't bother me. The UTG +2 push was a bit strange, but could have been JJ, TT or AK - so I gambled.

Pre Flop: (t125) Hero is MP2 with Q Q
UTG raises to t900 all in, UTG+1 raises to t2110 all in, 2 folds, Hero calls t1330 all in, 5 folds

Flop: (t3685) 8 K 7 (3 players - 3 are all in)

UTG shows T T (two pair, Tens and Sevens)
UTG+1 shows K K (a full house, Kings full of Sevens)
UTG+1 wins t860
UTG+1 wins t2825

So bank $15 from that loss

Bank: $40
BR: $56
Moving down to step 0. Hopefully I can battle back from a $52 and get back into step 1.

GL.

Havn't forgotten about this. Will try to run my 52 up to a step 1 tomorrow

Managed to double up in level three, AJ > limpshove A9 (seemed weak). Then took out the village idiot AJ > J8 for a 4.5k stack and bullied my way on the bubble to the win

Imo, these 52s are much more soft than the 100s. I know I've only played one, but I find if I play like its a 100, the 52s might be quite easy to win.

Bank 0 from that session, but get to move on
Bank: $40
BR: $104
Moving on to step 1

Advice?
Would like to know how you guys would have played this on: Flop, turn, river. nvm pf limp.
villain was tanking before each call. No pf raise from him either. justifiable flop semi-bluff? J good on river?

Hmm well this was it, short stacks kept staying alive and soon it was my turn to be utg with 4bbs. Waiting till the blinds pass me leaves me with 555 from 980, and blinds would be up to 300 and I'd have no respect.
