Sounds great, thanks!

The 235ffp Hypers are better value considering the lenght of time they take.

Yeah 235/210 fpp sats are your best bet for sure! The 210s are easier imo

Are there hyper turbo sngs on Stars? I see there's a filter option for them, but I am not seeing any.

I'm pretty sure I'm over complicating this hand, any input would be appreciated.
Button is 57/19 over 57 hands, BB is 38/17 over 150 hands.

Do I reraise the button preflop?

Is a check/fold on the flop the right play or is this a hand I can semibluff with?

And the biggest question is do I call the shove if I think hes calling me with top pair and pushing with air?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Im almost always shoving AQ preflop there. Maybe make it like 650 or something and shove the flop if you think hes dumb. Youre not really deep enough to do anything else here.

I would make it 500 and call a shove, as played c/f flop, don't like the small lead at all

Shoving with 27 BB preflop seems a bit excessive to me, any pair I get called with is a coinflip, I'm only ahead of Ax, and I'm only picking up 4 BB if all fold.
If I reraise preflop and the BB calls do I pretty much have to shove this flop or can I check fold and save it for another hand?

I would shove flop if he flats, they seem to c/f way too much in 3b pots

Hello, i have a variance question. I just started playing 11$ 6max and I think I have a pretty significant edge (i used to play 100NL cash) but the variance is starting to get to me...

Is this standard or does HEM calculate STT EV wrong?

Hey guys,

Currently playing the $6 + .50 6-max turbos on stars with my current roll of 292 and am wondering what you guys suggest would be a decent roll to move to/ take a shot at the next level ($12 + 1's)??

Hey guys and gals, i am just getting started grinding the 1.10 18's on UB. Have been running pretty well as of yet. Just wanted to get some opinions on what a maintainable ROI should look like at this level as well as the kind of variance i should be looking at. Thanks!!!

Understand that everyone is different. Conservative advice would be that you're nowhere near even taking shots. Your first goal should be to have at least 100 buy ins for the level (while also proving you can beat the level) you're at before you even look at doing anything. Even then you're probably best off waiting till you add a digit infront of your current roll before giving it a shot (again this is conservative, if you have no fear of busto then you can move up quicker)

Stab in the dark 30% is probably possible. 30 buy in downswings and 100/200 game breakeven stretches common even with that Roi.

Thanks for the input. I have played 650 games on stars at the $16 9 mans with a positive gain. Trying to build up a roll and transfer it back to stars so i can play at that level again. I have already experienced at huge 50 BI up swing followed by a 10 BI downswing. Looks like the 18 mans are going to be a little more streaky than the 9 mans.

That's no problem. Yes by definition 18mans are much more hot and cold than Stts. Don't sweat the downswings, they're unavoidable at any level.

If you're interested in moving back to stars or in 18mans in general you might be right for staking. Have a look at this thread http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/13...rstars-903062/ or shoot me a pm if you're interested.

Just sent you a PM. I appreciate your time!!

Hey thanks for your reply! I see i'm no where close now as I would like to be more near the conservative side... my next question however would be, what is a decent sample size for these 6 max turbos to get an understanding of if your beating them or not? Also what would be a "good" ROI to have over this sample size?

I am new to poker and starting off from SnG's. My friend advised me to play them.
Here is a hand I lost.

Fulltilt $1 SNG 9 ppl
Blinds 50/100

4 Players
SB - t2450
Hero (BB) - t1340
UTG - 2470
Button - 2590

Hero has AJ
1 fold, BTN raises to 300, 1 fold, Hero raises to 850.
Dealer shoves, Hero calls.

Flop- 7K9
Turn - Q
River - 8

BTN shows QJ

What other way to play this hand? I am already getting short of chips so i thought this to be a pretty strong hand to shove with. Moreover the BTN had been stealing regularly with similar raises.

Just move all in don't see any reason to 3bet small, super standard shove vs BTN open

Is that shove a mistake? How do i play this kind of hand? I always loose on such hands?

Please stop posting bad beats and coolers

If you haven't yet read the FAQ http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/36...ncement63.html it may answer a lot of questions you might have. Don't forget to sharkscope regular players you encounter in games, that'll give you a decent idea of what's possible. You won't need a massive sample of games to find out if you're a winner or not (like under 1k) but would need a big sample to find out exactly what kind of a winner you are, if that makes sense. Gl.

thanks man! this is exactly what i needed, appreciate your kindness!

Hello fellow 2+2ers. I would appreciate help _a lot_.

I have a problem on Pokerstars when I try to stack my tables.
When something interesting happens in one of the tables I pull it out of the main stack to look the situation more closely. The problem occurs when I can't come up with the right decision soon.
This leads to a situation where some of the other tables require action but they however don't go on top of the main stack (so I could quickly do required action on them and then continue struggling with the tough-decision one) unless I come up with a decision on my "interesting hand-table" first!
That leads to panic on the pulled-out-table so I pretty much always have to do a hasty move, just to be able to do something on the other tables (so I don't timeout and fold aces in a familypot for example).

I do know that on the windows toolbar you can see the action-required tables colored orange but I find that very ineffective and slow method. Is there another way of doing it? Do you stack tables some other way or perhaps use a tool (freeware preferably).

Thank you!
