@Waltiph... I just find you to have a game with fewer areas to exploit compared to most other players I play regularly along with a stronger hu game than most.

@streity... You might have expected me to say Bob is the most difficult for me to play against but although I have played with Bob a bit lately ( trying to get up earlier ) Bob is generally done playing by the time I start playing so we play together very infrequently. Usually games are really soft when I first get up so I dont mind seeing Bob at the tables because the other 4 spots are usually weaker players.

waltiph mention quitting by next summer which Im guessing is job related but does make me wonder what will be the state of NLO8 hypers by next summer. I hope a lot of the 15 regs move up by then as before long everybody is going to be fighting for 1% rois in 15s. There are guys making elite just playing 30- 100 holdem hypers and it would be nice if it were possible to do in O8 as well.

ty for the love streity but it seems you rate my own game more highly than I do. I don't do a ton of thinking at the tables and my adjustments vs different play types can be poor. I do well because I game select heavily and have ranges which fish repeatedly fail to exploit. In my own mind I am the ultimate ABC player and that's my strength really - I don't deviate from my own strategies ever and I rarely tilt. Put me in tougher games however and I doubt I would do as well as Juicy or others - at least not without working on my game a ton first. I'm not just being modest - or expecting you to say "no bob you're the best" this is genuinely how I see my own poker and to be honest it suits me to a tee

how long have u guys seen this guy j.j.j.j win playing these? I have never ever seen him in mtts or cash yet hes playin a load of these when I have played lately. Playing like a decent very aggro reg.

OPR and sharkscope locked. location is argentina.

looks very dodgy to me. I suspect there are a lot of vpners turning up playing these. One of them gotta be ajb and a load more US regs.

Respect.

love hypers:
429 sng $060 (-$2301)
114 sng $100 (-$2368)

I do not ever recall claiming to be good but what ever. My results are as good as anybodys in the stakes i have been playing so im happy.

Personal best of 70 buy ins below ev today over 130 games, 50/71 in o8 hypers and the rest heads up holdem hypers.

I have played with this guy a lot at PLO hypers. In those games he plays pretty tight but solid, although strategy ought to be different in PLO so maybe he is not the same in the O8 games.

I've noticed he, Salisero, myself, and maybe a couple other PLO hyper guys are playing more O8 now because the traffic is sometimes poor at the PLOs.

I dunno whether you know my sn then.

As to the bit in bold. The thing with hypers is if you can do basic maths you can be good at hypers. It's the easiest form of o8 imo because it is still in its infancy and people are lazy or play it for fun. But in my mind I know what regs are doing and so playing against decent players isn't that hard if you pay attention to ranges. Shoving on tight players or calling really light regs are both exploits.

In my mind there are certain spots some regs shove too light. Juicy's hand against wadz is not a spot I would have shoved. I avoid these spots also because I know hu is my strongest area and I would back myself hu with a third of the chips against most.

Try playing 10 tables and having waltiph in 4 of them on the bubble, it's not fun

streity i think you are way over estimating the edge attainable playing short stack heads up. only time you can gain a huge edge is when playing a fish that folds way way to much, even then 2/1 chip disadvantage wouldnt be possible. Against any player with even the slightest clue over coming even a 55/45 chip count would be impossible long term to achieve >50% first.

I've started them again lately but cant get a decent run going. I think i'm shoving too light in spots but i have noticed juicy shoves lighter than i would in some spots too. I have little idea which is more correct anyway ha.

i'm not playing hypers anymore as I felt too much like a robo, playing HU cash again now.. will only get back into O8 sngs if i can't beat HU as these sngs are easy money if you run arround EV.. HU is more fun tho and I enjoy it more...

and @ streity: big lol @ winning HU with 33% chips with skill only ;D you're so absurd, realy.. no hate, that point is just nowhere possible

What I was implying is that I only feel like I am really up against it HU when I have less than 1/3 of the chips. I wasn't suggesting that I would be a favourite at all lol, just at less of a disadvantage than most.

As 95%+ have no clue I think it's the one area I personally have the biggest edge. It's just a personal thing. It's the one area I feel is my strongest area, others exploiting the bubble or adjusting to player types.

At 54% of 1sts HU over the last 5.7k games, I feel my belief that I have an edge is justified.

I agree with this. Starting to play HU SNGs personally.

See above. The point I was making is a bit more subtle than you have read.

streity, what is your average chips at the begging of HU matches though?

Phew played "spontaneously" 650 hypers today Ended up breakeven and 450$ below EV :/ At least min cashed the BOTP shooutout. Busted with JJ vs AA for 6k stack in the second round.

Good effort.

I have a question.

I comfortably play 6-7 tables on average but have started adding more. Played 9 a couple of times and admire how you do it.

How do I do this in terms of layout on a 17inch laptop? What do you guys do?

i did always stack, 8+ tables all the time, mostly 10-11

If you can comfortably play 6-7 tables tiling you could probably 10 table easy stacking. I have a table previewer running along the bottom of my monitor that shows all my games and then the top 2/3 of my screen is split between the lobby and my stack of tables.

Thanks both of you.

Got a table viewer working but any tips on not having to re-stack?

Cliffs:








Now I reg the next one. (single-tabling, though)
I'm white hyper-trash, come and get me ! ! !

No money in hypers. Everyone's solid.

I contacted stars support asking them to review a bubble that was an unusual experience. They replied saying that they admit a few hands were unusual but there was no evidence to suggest collusion.

I never believed that the two players had an agreement, especially seeing as the other shorty to me was pretty horrible and down big on SC. So i decided to pose a theoretical situation to Stars and see what their policy would be on the situation.

I think this brings up a very gray area but but stars states

These three points are implying a known contract between players. Is it colluding if only one player is involved and the other player is oblivious? I have always taken the opinion that it is ok to unverbally collude with a player in a spot because doing so is +ev for both players and there is nothing wrong with trying to maximise your own ev. At what point does collusion end and fair play begin on a sliding scale? I would like to hear the communitys opinions on this as unfortunatly Stars have not replied as of yet with my email being sent 4 days ago.

This is from a previous pokerstars supernova vip email

"If you play non-HU Sit & Go tournaments, you’ll want to be particularly careful. Technically you are breaking our collusion rules if you are at any time not acting in your best interests in the current tournament, even if your activities are not coordinated with anyone else. For example, it is not allowed as the big stack in a satellite paying multiple places to avoid calling against weak players in an attempt to ensure that a stronger, regular player finishes out of the money."

Can to post the HH's Sharkey? I am intigued.
