Hi 2+2.. First post

I want to grind the 2/180s and I'm trying my best to get a good start. Got 250BI's to start with.

So far I've ordered (and can't wait to read) Kill Everyone, read the sticky on 180s and downloaded the Pushbot Spreadsheet from JITxpert. I've got a subscription to FloatTheTurn and have watched some of Jonathan's 180s reviews. Mostly 12$ videos on there. I got Tableninja for sorting out the mess.

I've set up PT3 with:
(Name/Hands/M)
(VPIP/PFR/Att.2Steal)

So.. all set? Any tips, gl's, and the occasional trolling are welcome!

looks like you're good to go sir! Good luck!

Also, there is a thread over in MTTc regarding 2/180 stats and graphs you may want to check out. Most of the regular grinders post there and may give you some useful insight.

Point taken, ty! wat wat is my new pet

So early on in these unknown villains show up with almost any two PFAI. Is something like TT+, AK+ an acceptable AI range against one non-reg villain?

Good. Wasn't too sure about those TTs. How you guys adjust for 2+ AI, Hero to act? and for regs?

I just read martin_marlin's 4k august rungood/prop bet thread and he states that he just plugged 1 million hands (obv brag) into wiz and got good.. I only got SNG-PT, same same?

Oh and for all you other n00bs out there, I just stumbled across this in the archives. Goldmine

idk, ive just got pokerstove and i actually just downloaded sngwiz, 30 day free trial after reading your post about martin_mallin......he just killed the 2.20s from when i played them a month or so ago, if i were you i would sharkscope the top winners in the 2.20 180s and just rail these guys.



my best advice, learn how to shove a2c late in tournies = win in these, this is where i ran into trouble, always busting out with a big hand (bad obv), pretty sure read around the forums from deeb or one of those guys "if you dont get it in bad you arent shoving enough" couldnt be more accurate


NAR u got skype or aim? talk a little strat or something
