Grats, Bobby! As you probably know, there is a royal flush bonus on Ignition for 50 BBs. The bad news is that you have to deal with their incompetent email support who probably won't know what you're talking about. If email support can't get it done, I found recently that making a polite post on the Ignition forum asking for help got the job done. By the time you are finished getting frustrated by the process, you may or may not feel like the trouble was worth $100.

Fun fact:

After close to 51k hands so far this year I am running .22 cents above EV.
Checked after losing a 3-way all-in today at 50z with AA vs KK vs QQ. QQ only flopped quads. GG.

I heard that pf if your raise is going to be 33% of your stack, you should just shove. But is this true on all streets?

Good rule of thumb pre but I think post flop we can have a bit more leeway. You need to decide if your hand benefits more from jamming now or is it so strong that it doesn't need protection? And with bluffs do you think a big shove will give you more fold equity than a standard raise? etc etc...

I bought HEM3 finally, mostly because I could get it with vip points on the poker site and also cause I have it installed already.
If I ever move up in stakes I'll consider other options, but for micros it's plenty enough atm.
Thx for the feedback guys.

Trying to get back into playing more MTTs. Going with the strategy of late registering, but at around the time I would start with 25BBs

What do you guys think about the ranges on poker snowie? I read somewhere that they're considered out of date or something?

I've been working on a spreadsheet for various ranges RFI, vs 3b / 4b etc etc with many of the popular GTO tools / sites and spent time using those ranges..

25bbs is a monster stack if you are near the $

You can also make a note of those 0EV hands and play them against certain opponents when you have a good read.

Thanks bro.

I love that site but I can't afford the sub right now. I use it along with GTO+ but I'm held back by this ancient POS laptop lol. As of yet my prayers to the poker gods haven't been answered... Let me bink the Sunday Million next week pleaseeeeeee
