Basically, you can play a lot of hands vs a minraise, but not all. Raw preflop equity is different from how a hand actually plays postflop, because you're out of position and there is no easy way to take your crappy hand to showdown.

I'd say you should aim to play by default, approximately, 65-80% of hands vs a minraise, about 10% less vs a 2.5x, and about 10% less than that vs a 3x. Then play a little bit fewer hands if your opponent is opening tight, and a little bit more hands if your opponent is opening wide (but don't go nuts).

If the average opponent at $3.50's minraises tight (for example, if they limp 50% and minraise 25%, or if they minraise 60% and fold the other 40%) then play tighter by default.

Make sure you're consistent - don't call T5o one time because you feel like it, then fold J5o vs the same opponent. If you're playing vs a tight opener, don't fold Q6o unless you're sure that you're also folding Q5o, J6o, etc.

Use one of those programs that shows all the possible preflop hands and tells what % of hands you have highlighted, and work out what hands you want to play vs minraises in advance.

Assuming you have a hand tracker thing (like HEM or PT4), filter for the worst hands you're calling with - if you're losing significantly less than 1bb per hand (aka -100bb/100), you can afford to call wider. If you're losing more than 1bb / 100, call tighter.

The worst hands I play vs a minraise by default atm are Q2o, J4o, 54o, 42s (I 3B all of those by default though - it's a good idea to 3B bluff with the worst hands that you aren't folding). I fold T5o, 64o, and 82s. Other people will be different though.

Btw hope things are going well suprido, I don't have HEM2 though so I can't help you :P

Hi, i have a question, would apreciatte any help.

This is the graph of all my games at 15s HT so far



This is all the games i played in wich blinds did not go pass the 2nd level, (game was over before 20/40 arrived)


This is all the games i played in wich blinds went beyond the 3rd level of blinds (game ended after 20/40 arrived)



Any ideas on why this is happening, and how can i fix it?

^ Coffee posted earlier about "bugs" in PT4 regarding filtering at blind levels. Wouldn't trust those. Something about villain open fold sometimes not being included which is a profit for us.

I can't seem to find those 2 stats, maybe they have a different name on HEM 2 but i'm not sure.

Hey guys, I'm wondering if the rake is fine for this structure:

5.00 + 0.25
10 Minute levels
1,500 chips
Level 1 - 10/20
Level 2 - 15/30
Level 3 - 25/50
Level 4 - 50/100
Level 5 - 75/150

It seems pretty good to me, but just wanted to check here

Is there much skill difference between $1.5 / $3.5 HT on Stars or it is same type of players?

Pretty much none.

None till 15s. At 15s you start encounter the "regs" but most of them are bad.

i do struggle with volume i only 1 table and i dont get in much games for turbos how many games can i play in an hour? also did people have a problem with grinding more that 2-3 hrs id love to play 4-12 hrs of husngs!

.

^ Yes, that rake is fine.

About 6-7 per hour is what you can expect I think. If you can play that many hours then that's awesome.

If someone has an adjusted ROI of 20,4% in his first 115 super turbos HU (at a new stake) is it possible to draw some conclusions? Is it likely that he will be a long term winner? Or simply: [ ] sample size?

There is just way too much luck involve in that sample. I know I had the same results when I first started. 200 games later I lost everything back.

No, you can't asume anything, but it's a more than decent start.

A few times you hitting top of stacking range and he bottom of stacking of range and things arrive quickly at 20.4% adjusted EV. Although I have no real idea how big the sample has to be to give randomness a chance to average those things out.

Thanks guys!

hey guys got a question to those who are multi tabling.
what is the size the monitor should be, to have the tables on the size they are when you play 2 tables?
i have a 17 inch monitor and playing 3 tables makes it hard to read the notes and the hud stats. think i was reading somewhere that a 21 inch monitor is the optimal size to play 3 or 4 tables.
would be great if you could help me

resolution is also important, I have 2 x 24 inch 1920x1080 and can play 4 tables on one screen easely

How many games per hour can you expect to average 1 tabling in 7$ hyper turbos and what is a decent sample size comparable to about 50k full ring cash to tell you if you are a winning player?

Also do most people use a HUD in HUSGN? Coming from FR cash using a hud is common there but reading another thread from some years back several veterans said that they don't think it's necessary for HUSGN and perhaps detrimental.

Thanks beforehand to anyone who can be bothered to answer.

I have a self ban with Full Tilt and Poker stars after busting my bankroll a while ago, so was going to get back into poker and just wondering between IPoker and 888Poker which would be the better option for rakeback for $10 and $30 games?

Also just wondering if the games were softer at 888 vs IPoker?

no one?

888 should be softer unless someone really good is camping the lobby.
But 888 is a rake whore.

Hi,

I've started to play hyper turbos lately where pushing and all-in calling is obviously very important.

I was acknowledged with the Nash Equilibrium before so I used it at the beginning. However always had an impression that some of the numbers there are way too loose even if I tried to adjust to every player and widen or tighten my shoving range according to Nash.
I've watched recently one of the Cog Dissonance videos and he was using Chubukov's ranking. Nash and Chubukov rankings differ significantly. For example Nash suggests to shove 78o with 14,7bb while in Chubukov's it is 3,75bb. Now I play more like Chubukov's way and it seems fine for me.

What is your opinion about both charts? Which of them is more useful for you?
