Thank you for replying. Six at $500 each is still impressive. For me that would be a big game and a nice win. Congratulations again. I'm happy to hear of your success.
Here are all of my hypers, exactly 3001, like to publish it while running good
Looks like non-losing. Had a serious strike of break even ev chip-wise recently though.
Don't believe tilting players can get any kind of a profit. I am practically non-tilting, single tabling, non-table selecting (except liking to play with regs, feeling appears not to be mutual...)
I'm still seeing incredible leaks in my game. Wonder what I'm not seeing...
Having at least 100BI in this game is not a joke btw. Otherwise it gets uncomfortable already when being down 30.
Is your ev-graph relatively ok?
I guarantee you are shoving too tight in a lot of spots and not calling light in a lot of spots.
Get a tracker and look at regs ranges. You will see a lot of patterns. Knowing how to adjust to spewers such a VictorHazard is also key - knowing your opponent.
That may be the way. Don't want to use a hud so far though, distracting. Trying to react at the actual situation on the table. Will often take a couple of hands before I think I know a bit, and at least those hands may be played suboptimally. On the other hand regs may react with second and third level thinking if I base my play on anything but raw math.
The individual patterns of play get increasingly important the less players there are. Could be something to look into for heads up to four handed. How much to steal and how much to call light in the blinds must be one of the priorities.

Have you seen playnde play? This might be true for most beginners/regulars that have not played 5k+ games yet, but definitely not for playnde. I saw you play for like 20 tournaments and would advise to call tighter in some early spots. First, I thought you tried to spite call me, but then I realized you're doing this with everyone else as well.
Would anyone be willing to share their "Net expected chips Won" per game? I'm running around 60/game lifetime although there is some learning curve baked into that.
How does that number correlate to roi? Over the same sample that worked out to 1.4%. I assume poor icm decisions could eat into roi without affecting chips won, but hopefully I'm at least making less of those mistakes than the player pool.
There's no direct correlation between chipEV and ROI
I think there is a strong correlation, but only taking you so far. Having a positive chip EV is a criterion for having any business playing at all. And it has to help you overcome rake. Maybe it explains half to two thirds of a potential success: even if we are talking tournaments, there always is a lot of elements of ring game play also, that is, "normal poker", "chip ev poker". The rest is ICM etc.

I probs haven't played more than a maybe 20-30 games with him so maybe parts of my advice were incorrect.
Pretty sure I don't call loose early. If it was someone like Victor, it is more than likely a range based decision at a tough table. I hardly ever spite call. Interested to see examples so post a couple if you like Brun. Happy to stand corrected.

Thanks. I figure some of it spills over in real winnings too. I may have to sacrifice some ICM with the style of play though, difficult to have them both.
But I kind of believe in hammering in chips, some of them have to be good. We just played a game, where I several times was very low in chips and came back. In the same situation with fewer chips I would have busted.
BTW, here is the first hand I've marked as a "good hand" in my poker tracker, as I can recall (of almost 60k hands ):
Pre Flop:(pot: 2 BB)Hero has 5 7 6 A UTG raises to 12.4 BB and is all-in, CO calls 6.2 BB and is all-in, BTN calls 5.55 BB and is all-in, fold, fold Flop:(19.95 BB, 3 players) 3 8 Q Turn:(19.95 BB, 3 players) Q River:(19.95 BB, 3 players) K
Spoiler:
UTG shows A 2 4 A CO shows 3 4 6 8 (Two Pair, Queens and Eights) BTN shows A Q 5 7 (Three of a Kind, Queens) UTG wins 1.3 BB BTN wins 18.65 BB

See above
Sorry, didn't make it clear that I switched talking to plaaynde directly, instead of you don't recall playing much agains you, streity.
Just to make things more explicit: plaaynde is calling too lightly in my opinion.

easy fold, even ticking fold after UTG goes all-in and concentrating on other tables.
