Hyper, hyper! (HUSNG) – Page 2

HYPER, HYPER by our German friend and techno guru Scooter! Just one of his many ingenious songs. Also it is my current frustration and goal, which i am going to blog about. Introduction Hello everyone, I am a HUSNG regular at pokerstars at the 30$ and $60 turbo speeds. Last month i made it my goal to crush hypers and started at the exact same level as i play turbo speeds. Without much studying i expected to crush but needless to say I got crushed instead. Another thing that stood out last month was the amount of tilt and frustration that hypers got out of me, as every poker i experience tilt but this was hypertilt. Looking around me i am surprised how many things are still intact and not in pieces. This of course is not something to brag about and my friend ragney who has been member here suggested i should maybe write down my goals, frustrations and have a more structured approach to poker in general. Also he didn't need to ask everyday on whatsapp: 'so, how much did you lose?' X( So this is going to be a very selfish blog, that's the goal of blogging right? I am all very new to this. I am a huge forum and blogging fish but hopefully this can be helpfull to me and i can become more helpfull to other members as well. Goals I have different goals for this month. :spade: 1 First is that i need to make money first at my bread and butter the turbo HUSNG to tilt away at the hypers. My goal is to play at least 100 games every week for the remainder of July and obtain a 5% roi minimum. This isn't even a volume goal this should be standard. :spade: 2 So my second goal is my actual goal which is to study hypers. I plan to do at least one review after every session, if possible i'll do one an exchange per week. We are doing the majority of our games on the $15's and $30's and have a stop-loss for 15BI a day. Quitting is my largest enemy so my limit should be my stop-loss, which is an extemely important goal for me as i have never actually quit for the day. I should also limit myself to not play higher than the $30 as my mental state (and bankroll) cannot handle the hyper swings at limits higher than that. :spade: 3 My third goal of the month is to improve at MTT, i have been adding 180's $15 to my daily grinds and planning to add as much MTT as i can handle next to my grind, or actually my laptop can't handle more so i'm limited there. I will try to play more MTT in the weekend, especially on sundays. But i am new to MTT so my main focus should be just learning them. :heart: 4 I need a new computer so i need a good month and i can finally stop playing on my dual core, 1 gb RAM which freezes all tables even for something as little as a virusupdate. Or sometimes just randomly when the rematch button appears. I wish everyone a great July. It is my favorite month of the year, hopefully it will stay that way!

I am going live play in Amsterdam tommorow so no grinds this weekend(maybe some on pokerstars mobile app =)) so i will post my end of the month results now.

August goals
1. play 2k hypers @ 30's and achieve 3-4% roi. I do intend to take some stabs @ the 60's but only when i play good. I won't move up until i have pluged some leaks and have some coaching before.

I actually managed to achieve my volume goal. I played 2125 games and didn't tilt on higher games for a whole month. I'm getting alittle more used to hyper variance and experienced some -20BI days without going batshit insane so quite happy there. A 3-4% roi was alittle optimistic as this was my second real month at the hypers. But i achieved 2.9%, running good obviously.

Most games were on the 30's and i played 5% of the entire volume on 15's and some 60's. More interesting are my multitabling stats. 0.7% roi with 2+ tables and a 18.6% roi one tabling (only 300 games). Maybe i should not multitable. I did one review the entire month which is really sad.

2. Making a MTT final table. I will play most lower hots and if i am not losing too much i will play a higher buyin in the weekend. I came pretty close last month with some deep runs so if i can make a decent volume i feel i can make it.

Erm i only played one week of those hots, and some random ones. Very low volume and managed a small loss. Biggest cash was at the hot55 which i qualified for and made the last 100 or so.

All-in-all a decent month. I likely will be starting a fulltime job next month depending on the offer they are making. Poker will come on a second plan unfortunately, and i don't think i will still be able to make supernova this year. Also probably will go more into live poker in weekends. But i'm addicted to hypers so who knows

It's been awhile since i updated. My job got delayed until january so i still have time to play hypers.

September was my luckiest month this year. I pretty much won anything i participated in. Unfortunately that didn't count for MTTs which i broke even in. But i beat the 30's for a 7.1% roi (5.1% adjusted) over 1500 games. and that streak continued in october where i achieved a 6.2% roi over the first 1k games.

I realised i have to be a bronzestar to post pictures, will fix that at one point. A blog is no fun without pictures

But with my new found rungood i decided to take stabs at the 60's. I am pretty confident i can beat those but my first shot i knew again how it felt to not win every single hand and lost 10BI. Yesterday after a 15BI heater on the 30's i took another shot and got asswhooped again for 15BI. I am playing almost the same droolers as on the 30's so i'm not overly worried that i won't beat them at one point. Mentally i think it is alot more stressfull to go from 30's to 60's especially if you are like me and have no other income, then a 20BI downer can get you slightly X(. Technically i think there is not much difference.

Next time with pictures so i don't have to type this much!

O i will also try to qualify for the sunday supersonic. It's been something me and ragney are talking about to play ever since he binked the MTT awhile ago, he actually promised to play it the coming weekend but obviously chickened out the nit he is. Now we found a new partner in Totte who also caught the virus and tries to qualify through some FPP double shootout. But it's kind of hard to beat donkies on acidfire and get through the end.

I got close a few times but then lost AA, KK to any two cards after i got like a 5:1 chiplead heads up (which is supposedly my bread and butter). Personally i think pokerstars is just punishing me for not being a degen anymore. A few months ago i would lose 10BI then sit 300 hypers and win one BI get back to the 30's, lose 10BI and repeat (that's how it's done :f_confused: ), not just once but more on a daily basis. Now i haven't played anything over 100 for over two months and i don't think i really tilted either. Honestly i agree with pokerstars, nits like that should not be rewarded to play the supersonic. So ragney pretty much has no chance to qualify ever
