The Well: Jorj95 (George Lind III) - Page 57 - Internet Poker

whats your general strategy in the 6 max hyper turbos that you play secure 3rd then go for 1st? of just go for it? how light should i be getting it in early on or on the 3rd place bubble?

looking to try a few of the $20 ones would really appreciate some advice. Oh and you know any icm calculators that are good for these

big respect for the grind you put in. thanks in advance

My strategy is to maximize my EV. I don't care how often I win or get 3rd.

As for how light to get it in, obviously it's dependent on the situation, and I don't want to answer the question for specific situations anyway.

The ICM calculators like sngwiz are decent enough for level 1 but after that you really just have to figure it out on your own.

Ever thought of paying someone else to stake? You give them money and they stake people/do all the finances/and they get a small % of profits? Could you think of anyone that you would trust enough to do this(assuming the money you are staking them is a significant amount where the stakes actually stand to have a decent help to your BR)? (Not asking for their name just asking if you would know anyone)

i play small stakes sngs and i have always played tile tables but want to learn to play stacked so instead of 9 tiled i can get to more around 20-30. I am a complete noob to playing this way and do not even really understand how u do it. do you minimize each table after an action? is there anywhere i could learn to play this way? any help or advice is much apreciated.

It's a decent idea though. But I like being in charge of things like that, and even if I delegated some of the responsibility to someone else, I'd still want to do way too much with it. It's just how I am.

you didn't answer my last question but i have 2 new ones that i hope you will (one is obviously related to the one i asked).
1) do team pokerstars pros actually get asked about changes that are being considered ?
2) are you being listened to if you make suggestions on your own ?
3) have you ever been in a 6 way all in in the 6 max hyper turbos ?

How many super-turbos do you normally stack at a time?

Do you have trouble (or even care) which ones are just starting vs. which ones are on the bubble?

I used to stack 15-20 tables but have reduced myself to 4x'ing just to keep track of everything, as I have found that actually works better for me. But, I think if I could get over my desire to micro-manage every table I could get better long term results. Have you struggled with this at all?

Thats pretty fcn crazy, wht could the small blind call with ? Given that situation again would you fold AA in the big blind ?

I know you don't wanna go into your strategy and feel free to not answer if you don't want to. How do you go about studying your game and developing ranges ? Are you constantly reviewing hand histories ? Developing a +ev range in 10bb and less situations has to be one of the hardest things to do in poker - What types of things would you recomend a person do to start developing ranges ?

I have them all in one stack, no matter what level of the sng it's on. I think that's what you're asking?

And I forgot about your other question. Yeah that's pretty much exactly what I do. I'm not really going to go through it step by step though, I have to leave a little work for you guys.

Ha, I think I would even fold AA there, I mean WTF - Your going win this by folding AA in the BB with 5 all ins way over 50% of the time.

What about my second question ?????
EDIT: I see you responded to my second question in a second post

I believe I have read you import all your Hypers into PT3. Since PT3 is incapable of doing this on its own and its something you have to due manually via email - How do you keep track of how many you have played and know how many to request sent via email from the poker client ? Is there a more automated way of doing this ?

tough question: do you think that most of your profits come from the fact that most people don't really know what to do in certain situations due to the payout structure (i think that's the case) ? however, you also said that you played some wcoop hyper turbo satellites that are winner take all....
either way question is would you play 6max or 9max hyper turbo sngs that have the usual payout structure (in cash) of 65/35 or 50/30/20 ? and would you think that those are as profitable (considering there are probably thousands of people who played thousands of them and most of them are reasonably close to having optimal shoving/calling ranges) ?

If they had the normal sng structure I'm sure I'd try them but I don't know that they'd be as profitable because, as you said, a lot of people have put a ton of work into figuring out that particular payout structure.

I see you have had a couple of deep runs in some of the scoops. After playing for so many hours, just to fall short of a big score, does that take out a lot of your "excitement" to play the next day, knowing you have to play another 12 or so hours to get there again? Or does it get you more motivated to play again.

And what do you think of the structures of most of the tournaments? Do you wish they were faster? Or like it the way it is?
