Hello everybody,

As this is my first message on this board, I'm gonna introduce myself a little bit.

Over the years, I have always been a winning online player (Not by much, but still a winning player), but I've never been able to be consistent. I made a lot of cashouts over the years, but never been able to grow a bankroll. Either I was cashing out, or I was going to higher limit and blow the rest of my money.

I played a lot in 2007,2008 and 2009, and then I didn't play much for a few years, only some MTT and STT here and there.

At the beginning of June of this year, I decided I wanted to grow a bankroll and be serious about it, so I read everything I could about bankroll management. As I prefer STT over cash game, I read a lot of strategy about it.

Because I never want to deposit one cent again, I decided to go with an ultra conservative bankroll management strategy, so I started with 260$ and I started playing the 1.50$ STT on Pokerstars. At the beginning, I was playing the regular 1.50$ STT, and then I added the Knockout. With the addition of the knockout, my bankroll skyrocket and I am now on the Sharkscope leaderboard for profit in that category, wich is something I am very proud of.

Now, I have 700$ on Pokerstars, and I transfered 200$ on Full Tilt. The money on full tilt is there if I want to learn to play cash game and grind my way up, wich I am planning to do in the next few months. So I grew my bankroll from 260$ to 900$ mostly playing 1.50$ STT and with different bonus (Battle of The Planet).

I wanted to try a few other types of games before I go up to the 3$ STT, like the 6 man, 18 man, 27 man and 45 man. I also wanted to try the hyper and DON. My goal in the short term is to master all the types of games before going up, if possible. That way, I'll know for sure what type of games I have the biggest ability for.

I also wanted to try and master the 1.50$ Turbo. Wich bring me to the title of my topic... I was able to crush the 1.50$ Regular and Regular Knockout, but when it comes to 1.50$ Turbo and Turbo Knockout, I am right now a bit more than break even (My ROI varies between 1.5% and 3%). My problem is I feel that I'm rarely in control of the table.

I have read a lot of strategy on the internet for the turbo STT, but everytime I'm trying these strategy, it doesn't seem to work. It seems to me that the 1.50$ Turbo STT on Pokerstars are a different animal.
I've tried to steal in late stage of the game, but it almost never work. People are calling all the time, even on the bubble, and I don't have enough time (Because of the blind) to wait for a perfect spot.
I play tight early, but I often find myself with a stack of 1300 when the blinds get significantly higher. And when I do get a big stack, I can't seem to be able to steal and bully my opponent, because as I said before, they almost always call.

Anyway, I wanted to know if somebody have some hint for me as to how to play these game. I don't want generic turbo STT strategy, I'd like strategy specific to this kind of game, if possible.

I know variance is much higher in the STT turbo, but I don't feel that is the case right now.

Thanks in advance to anyone who will try to help me.

Turbo and Reg speeds do indeed differ, in the Reg speeds you will have more time to push your edge against other players at the table, so push/fold and blind stealing do not happen until far later, in regards to turbo formats the blinds hit you much faster so you often will be in push fold mode a lot quicker, and the blinds become worth stealing far sooner. ICM and push/call ranges apply to all SNG types but they are particularly important in regards to turbo formats, for that reason you should have a deep understanding of ICM as well as push fold ranges in different scenarios VS different villains at different stack sizes etc

When the blinds gets to about 50... steal against the tight and regular players and I mean steal with any 2 cards. A regular player and tight players will only have one move against you and that is to reshove their stack. Therefore they will just fold to you most of the time. Make sure you don't try to steal against a fish/random player because they will flat you and you will be in trouble. So most importantly play against the player type and not your cards.

I wouldn't advocate blind stealing at anything below 50/100

play at least 3.50, 1.50 rake is too damn high, if you HAVE to play 1.50 play hypers, rake is too high as well but players are so terrible you can still make up to 10% roi

Whats the best software for DoN SNGs? The only ones I that I know of are SNG Wizard, ICMIZER and SNGsolver.

Hold'em Resources Calculator is another fine option.

Speaking of, Collin and his wife are surely candidates for the tourney if they're still in Rosarito (I've never asked him about his current location, tbh).

I forgot to consider this, dybboss is totally correct in that the rake at the $1.50's is around 20% which is extremely high so skip to the $.3.50's if possible which have a rake of around 13% and play which is equally as bad

Thank you very much for all your advice,

Your point about ICM might be good and I do not use at the moment an ICM calculator, but I feel that I'm doing this already in my game without even thinking about the ICM term or a calculator. I'll read some more about ICM to see if it helps me. Do you have any good link to give me that talk more about ICM, or a link to a good ICM calculator?

Stealing against the regs when the blinds get to 50/100 or 75/150 is a great idea. I've started to do it a little bit before I started this topic and this is the steal that work the best at the 1.50$ turbo. Unfortunately, I don't always have a good position to steal against the regs. Plus, depending at what time I'm playing, there is not always a reg in the game.

For the fact that I should play the 3.50$ instead of the 1.50$, I'll pass. I understand what you are trying to say, but right now I don't want to go up to the 3.50$.
What I'll do, is that I'm gonna play a few more of these 1.50$ turbo, and if my ROI doesn't improve, I'll stop playing the turbo and play some 1.50$ 6 man, 18 man, 45 man and hyper, and when I'll have tried them all, I'll move up do the 3.50$. Only then I'll reintegrate the turbo, just to see if the lower rake is going to help me.

There is still one thing that I'm asking myself. How does these people on the Sharkscope leaderboard (For the 1.50$ Turbo) make to attain a ROI of +/- 7% to 10%. Maybe with time and with the 3.50$ Turbo I'll be able to attain this.

If anyone else have good advice to give me, I'll appreciate.

I would recommend programmes such as ICMizer and SnG wiz for learning good them ICM spots, its perfectly fine that you don't want to move up until you feel your game is cemented and your ROI% is looking healthy over a large enough sample, there is nothing wrong in it at all, the suggestion to move up is purely because profitability will be high, with less incurrence on profit deficit via absurdly high rake and equally bad competition. Though staying where you are is by no means the end of the world.

Playing poker is pretty much the last thing i want to do with my time off but you could prob round up a few ppl seeing as there's so many down here. Id try the thread in the Travel section or the skype group.

Hey guys so I recently started grinding the 1.10 stt(reg) on bovada starting with $20... My goal is to grind to $160 so I can move up to 3.30 turbos... 1.10 super turbo is too fast, and the reg is painfully slow sometimes. Anyway...might be a dumb question, but how can I play on more than 2 tables on bovada? Am I missing something or is that the max I can play at once?

4 table of cash and sng. MTT to 20 our something

Hi guys,

I have been playing poker for about 3 years now. I have been succesful here and there but have yet to be as consistent as I would like. Recently I have been 4 tabling 3.50$ SnG's. In doing so I had success rather consistently. However I took a vacation and came back and have never been able to find my success again. I have used programs like PT4 to help me along the way however I am still not seeing results I like. I don't think it is my poker knowledge as I am an avid book reader and studier (however I realize I am not perfect yet). Is there any advice to get back on track and return to being a consistent winning player? As of now my ROI is negative and I am a losing player. Please help me out.

Anyone playing reg hyper satties overhere? Which level is considered to be the first "serious" and hard to beat one? 18.50? 37.60? Where is the biggest gap in skills? Thanks

Homegame no limit holdem tourney with rebuys, which are off, four handed on the bubble with $10 bounty. Blinds 6/12k. I have ~115k. Small blind has been relatively active with raises preflop especially since it's been six handed and less. I've only played with these guys ~6 times in the past five years, so no real reads.

folds to the small blind, he shoves ~34k, I have K9o?
