yeah he definitely likes to play. Hes getting like 90-100 games a day. Pretty solid. But i think he plays 10-12 tables since he regs a lot of $3 ones. Only like 5-6 hours of playing but tough to keep consistent with since they are mind numbly boring

So after playing 71 princeton sng's I got my bankroll from 6 to 21, next step is a set of 10 - 27 entrant sng's when the BR hit's 25, hopefully tonight.

Just found out you can save/replay individual hands on Global.

Just some friendly advice: For the purpose of building a bankroll from virtually scratch, stick to the same format for now. Sure, your going to want to be versatile eventually . But your switching from single table 6-man non-turbo to 3 table 9-man turbo. I would try adding the 6-man single table turbos first.

opening 72o 3x is bad and your flop betsize is unnecessarily large especially for this type of board texture, your opponent will probably play his range the exact same way with a 120 cbet instead of 222 and since you're gonna have air most of the time (esp if you're playing atc) the 222 bet is just inefficient

fwiw the hot strategy for hu play on the button in tournaments is to mix limps, minopens (or like 2.2x) and maybe the occasional fold. I'm generally either limping or folding 72o here.

Watch Isildur's heads up play when he won that Party tournament recently and you'll see what I mean.

Ugh.. starting over. Took a few shots at Jared & OneTwo yesterday and it didn't go well. Turns out that $200 SNGs are not quite as easy as $3 and $6 games. Time to reset the graph and go back to the drawing board. I need Tommy Angelo to teach me to not do things like that, hopefully the book arrives soon!

lol yeah when I saw you were in my game I was like "I recognize this name from 2p2" and opened this thread and read your post about tilting and taking shots at big games and I just laughed

If it makes you feel any better, I've done the same thing COUNTLESS times in my life. Tilted and played big cash games and SnGs I was super underrolled for, and went busto a number of times. I feel for you.

Damn dude, that escalated quickly! Did you take a tilted shot at those games, or just play them out of the blue?

Like pokerONETWO, I've also done this countless times. Learning to manage a bankroll, not tilt (or not tilt as much), and knowing when/why to quit sessions...all are learned skills. You can move past this experience, and start honing those skills. Good luck, man.

No tilt, just ran a little too hot in a cash game that I was underrolled for, so had to go donk it off. Ordered that Angelo book today. These bankroll management issues have been my biggest leak

Tommy Angelo's material has helped me, and probably will help you as well. I hope to be battling with you again in the $6 sngs soon.

Got a SharksScope-related question.

I usually filter all my SharkScope searches to show me only sng results. When I was checking out my graph last night, I clicked the tab above that says "leaderboards". There it shows you how you did vs your opponents at a certain sng stake for the month.

I was first out of like 320 (?) players for the full-ring, regular-speed $6 Maggies, but I only played 107 of them all month. I'm sure TheOnlyHuman and a few others won way more than me in those games. Then I thought, maybe it's based on ROI. I made a ridiculous +$266.20 profit in these in the 107 games. I was running insanely good, obviously.

Anyone know the answer? I find it hard to believe that +$266.20 was the highest profit in those games on Global for the month.

Last night was disgusting. Lost like 5 or 6 games in a row to players hitting 2 pair on the river with their kicker in the 50 and 100 9 mans. One of those days where you feel like you’re out on the “naughty list” lol.
06-02-2018 , 01:09 PM
How's the volume? What are the peek times and are they loading pretty quickly?

I had one of those days on Memorial Day. It's sick, but those days actually get me more motivated. I accidentally clicked on a $100 turbo 9 man yesterday, and saw you registered in there. Then I quickly closed the lobby and went back to my $6 and $11 games. One day tho.

Games start pretty quickly. You should be able to get decent volume in if you can multi-table well. Not sure about peak times, but the evenings between 5pm and midnight eastern time would be my guess.

Pretty sure I got it in bad like 5 times vs you yesterday and won all 5. I don't quite understand how I'm always getting it in bad when you play like literally 4x the hands I play but there you go

I think you and some other regs that play late should consider registering in other games than the 9mans after about like 2 or 3AM EST; there are enough players to run a bunch of games but so many people only want to play a certain format.
06-02-2018 , 02:09 PM
Like sometimes around 3AM there will be like me and 3 fish registered for a 150hyper, and it will stay that way for 30 minutes while I watch these regs playing 110 9mans or whatever and I lose my mind and the game sometimes doesn't go off.

I thought 7-2 was the best hand in poker.

Instead of asking "who is Isildur?" I just read his wiki....amazing. I'm guessing the 222 bet is risking too much for the reward of the pot in comparison to the weakness of the hand and the % he'll call...I gotchu. I'm gonna watch his play on stars a bit.

If I played over 100 of thoes same sit-n-goes I would be very depressed if my profit was only $266. I expect to reach that number playing, maybe, 25 to 30 of them. No brag but out of 10 sit-n-goes I expect (and do) place in the money 7 out of 10 times. Not slightining you at all it is just that line you typed "I was running insanely good, obviously" that made me chime in. Again no offence meant.

LOL.

I played 107 sngs and had over 41% ROI, and you don't think that's running insanely good?

I'm curious to know your Global screen name. Because I guarantee you're not beating sngs for a +41% ROI.

Also, not sure what slightening means. And, don't worry, no offense was taken.
