Pokerstars lobby? Full Tilt lobby? The lobby of the hotel you are staying at?

Level 1 of a 9man knockout so villain is unknown.

I would like some advice on how I played this hand? Seems pretty standard with the river fold. Should I bet more on the turn? Close to psb?

I need some help from FTP regs here.

Lately, my game's have been opening up and just minimizing. I have no idea the games are even up since i 16 table continuously. I just keep sitting out and getting blinded out.

Flop raise size looks about right, definitely bet more on the turn! You want to setup a river shove so people will feel committed to the pot and be unable to fold 9x or a pair they hit with their draw. That said close to pot is too big, I think 280-340 is about right. Big bet, but not enough to scare off most people

River fold is good

Can someone sweat me for about an hour or so, I am in 4x $3 + $.40s on Stars.

Any FTP players willing to comment a bit on moving up from turbo 6es to turbo 11s? I have a very small sample size at the 11s and feel like I'm just running bad but am down quite a bit. So far I've noticed that people 3bet you more often if you open up from LP than in the 6es... And in BVB just nobody believes you have anything . I also see a lot of small c/raises on dry boards and much floating, even OOP. I also still see a lot of fish and a lot of regs that suck, though maybe they are decent and I suck, it's possible .

Agree/disagree? any other thoughts?

agree

This is def a dumb question but when they say 100 BI BRM, is that 100 for the current level before you move up, or 100 BI's for the next level?

For the next level. Of course it's fine to take shots at the level above with less bi's just as long as you're willing to move back down when you hit a certain number of bi's for the level below, 100 is a nice round figure although every situation is different.

What software should I get?
This is what I want: I want all my tables stacked on one pile ( so you only see one table and all the others are underneath that one table) and when action is required the table pops out of the pile and gets normal size, when fold it goes smaller and back into the pile and when still in hand it stays out of the pile

got a question about pokerprolabs and step tickets (fulltilt)

i have searched a player on pokerprolabs and filtered him to 7-9 player 1 table SNGs.
buyin was filtered to 7-24$

now he has some steps-games in his stats which cant be filtered out. somehow he managed to get 8% roi while having only 30% itm and i have the strong feeling that the steps games totally fake his stats

Can you tell me how to estimate my equity that another player will go out on the bubble (I'm not really sure how to word the question, here's an example).

blinds:200/400/25

CO: 4432
BTN:1827
SB:828
BB:5938

So it's folded to me in the SB and I've got 32. BB is calling me 99% of the time, so SNGWIZ gives me -2.19

However if I fold, I'm left with 600 chips. I've spent many a bubble praying for somebody to do something silly and they rarely do.

Basically what I am asking is, is there a forumala you guys use to work out the likelyhood of another player going out before you do/ and or getting something good before the BB comes round again.

And if so how would you apply that to the example above, or another similar one of your choice.

Thanks.

Hey, just wondering how do people feel about playing $1+20c (9 man turbos) without rakeback. I had a 15 BI downswing at $2+20c games and am just trying to grind about 15 BI's at the $1.20's to get back rolled for the $2.20's. However after plaing about 100 games now I can't seem to make a profit at the $1.20's and am barely breaking even. I definitely don't suck that much either that I should not be beating these games. But I'm starting to think that maybe with the 20% rake I am paying at this level, they are perhaps not beatable?

I'm only as good as my roll which is $232. 1k for $10 sngs so I should have $500 for $5 sngs.

1K. 500 if you can redeposit or are actually very good.[/QUOTE]

I'm only as good as my roll apparently and that's now $232. 1k for $10 sngs, so I should have $500 for $5 sngs unless I'm actually very good (I don't think I am).

1.20s are beatable. Play more.

Are there formulas out there for an icm calculator that I can put into excel?

You could do that with Table of Interest. Find the thread in the software forum. It's no longer supported though so buyer beware.


No offence, but you probably do suck that much. It's not easy to overcome 20% rake and you probably won't score a huge ROI but it's doable. If you genuinely can't afford the 2s, consider playing something else to build your BR. Sattys for the 1/4 million are lol soft.


PM me your email addy and I'll send you my spread with a formula in. I dont' know what the formula is or where it's hidden in Excel but it does work.

Is there a general discussion thread for fifty50s? ie NOT limited to hand histories, a thread to simply talk about the game?
I want to follow the guidelines though & forum rules, so I'm posting here as instructed by AMT. Where is the correct place on 2+2 to discuss fifty50's? (if not the sng forum)

I am curious to know what sort of ROI is attainable playing these.

What's a Reasonable sample size to determine skill/variance?

Dunno if you've found the thread by now (is bumped), but there is a thread.


Can anyone recommend me a software to automatically register for sngs?

+1

table ninja,

that should be googleable in 2 seconds though,

"automatically register for sngs"

Dont wanna use table ninja! rest of the features are useless to me, so I dont feel like spending money on it.

Thanks though.

It depends on ROI and to some extent game type. How confident you can be depends on number of games. If you run at 10% over 1K games, you can be reasonably sure you're a winning player. If you do it over 5K games, you can be reasonably sure you are somewhere in the 8-12% range, I think. If you do it over 100K games, you can say you're a 10% player.



Hjalper. There's a script called Stars Autokeys or something similar, but I don't know whether it stays updated. Software forum remains your best bet.
