Hello to the community,
First off, this thread isn't meant to complain about variance.
I've been grinding Micro MttSNGs as well as Micro MTTs for the past month trying to get better at identifying hand ranges as well as push/fold ranges.
Unfortunatly, I wasn't able to get to be a winner at these stages.
I've barely been able to break even, thanks to 2 MTT Wins.
So I figured I'd make a thread, explaining what I do and what I grind and how, to see if anyone had any constructive comments about what I could do better/differently so here it is :
Bankroll Management & Games :
I have about
230$ of bankroll right now. It goes a little lower or a little higher everyday, but seems to be stuck around that amount. With that amount, I grind the
1.50$ 45-mans,
1$ 90-mans, and used to grind the
1$ hyper 180-mans. I stopped those because I figured variance was really high in them. I did try the
2.50$ 180-mans about 25 times, but I always end up having a bad session when I try them and end up going down in my bankroll. I also mix-in all the micro MTTs available from 0.55$ to 2.20$, and a few Satellites to the Hot 5.50$, 7.50$, 11$ and 22$ (again buy-ins between 0.55$ and 2.20$)
Session Setup :
A basic session for me lasts between 2 and 3 hours. I usually grind the equivalent of 30$ of games (with a BR of 150$+) and I was planning to grind 40$ of games when I get to a BR of 300$.
So out of that 30$ of games, I usually load up
12 45-mans,
4 90/180-mans and about
4 MTTs/Satellites
Loading all those games takes about 45min at peak times, 1hour at normal times and 2hours at downtimes. Once I use that 30$ I let myself play with, I stop and play everything down to the end.
In term of Multi-Tabling, in average I have between 12 and 14 tables running, with peaks at 18. I stack all of them on the same square, while taking the important tables around the main stack.
Software Setup :
I basically use every known software through my grinding : Holdem Manager 2 for the HUD stats, Table Ninja to manage all those tables and the auto-bet sizings.
I also use Stars Helper to help me change my stack in BB, and use a few HUDs from it as well.
I watched about every single video from YugiohPro on Deucescracked.com, at a rate of 2 to 4 hours ago. Also watched a few others.
I know most of my push/fold spots, but when I'm not certain, I check out this chart :

So this is it, just wandering if anyone has any recommandations or comments about the way I play it, maybe just by discussing it I'll be able to find some things I'm doing wrong.
Thanks in advance !
