New recruit at SH Zoom micro's [NL10]

have been playing a bit NL10 6max to practice ( had only played FR untill then,also because of background in mtt) , and switched to NL25 again yesterday, this time, really enjoy the format, but will not have much time to do massive volume; goals for the month are getting gold on stars and here by grinding NL25 and if needed by brm some NL10, clearing a 40 euro stellar award and using fpp to buy 80 euro bonus ( not sure though where to get max value from fpp from)
got about 5k NL25 sh hands now, if I can get 20k at end of month with a 1bb/100h winrate I'll be happy, hopefully I'll get to 1K br then with rakeback( at 720 atm)
that would put me on the way to taking shots at Nl50 next month if i reach 1250$

@luca: took a look at rfi stats per position, thx for tip: numbers were around 17/18/23/34/41
Ill try and get utg down to about 13% ( will use weazel ranges for this), was opening too much suited aces, will prob leave 22, 33 and 44 in there
mp and co are ok i guess, BTN should be higher, again will use weazel ranges as guideline ( he suggests about a 48% range to raise on button)
sb is again ok, but ill try weazel hands for this more ( meaning no a6o eg)

here is graph from NL25 sh from last 2 days, been trying to improve on my redline alot, and seem to kinda manage it after 1k hands
been trying to valuebet river thinner, coldcall pre less, 3bet vs steals bit looser,fold less against 3bets etc... but still need to work on this

Hey man!
I play zoom Nl25 too, lets talk over skype?
Have a pretty big sample with sucess.
Check out my profile for skype information.

Keep on crushing!

Good to know you’re making progress with your SH-game. Gl with reaching Gold star.
I’m still a lazy silver star on PokerStars, but maybe if I’m moving up to the $15 Fifty50’s I try to reach it as well
That’s a goal for next year most likely

Solid result. Good to see that hard work pays off.

GL.

@thestudente: jealous of ur 4.5bb winrate over large sample, will look into reinstalling skype, and add you

@SDK NL25 sh 4table zoom gets you about 120 vpp/hour, so only about 12 hours/month to get gold, maybe with sng's its a bit harder to get gold
maybe i'll try to get to platinum next month ( 2hours a day average needed, not sure if i can make that much volume, probably goal for next year too)
do you play mtt's at stars as well? been thinking of using points to get into sunday storm and other 10$ regulars

@michel thx, but sample is still small, alot of hard work ahead too

@Vandeuren its only 2bb in NL25 ._. . But I'm doing alot of work to improve so lets see how the next 100k hands looks like. This month I have nearly 15bb/100 in a small sample of 13k hands. Running like a fucking god.

So thats a tip I will give you. Start running good and the BB's will come to you. True Story!

Im starting NL25 zoom too so will def follow add me on skype if you want

I play sometimes MTT's, but the Sunday storm is 1 of the softer MTT's of the week and a lot of nice FPP satellites too.
I think a good way to spend FPP’s in and get T$ from it.

@ SDK
thx for the fpp sat tip; did some calculations to convince myself

8800 fpp= 80 euro = 103,45$
8800fpp / 70fpp: 125 sats to 3,3$
125 sats/3 : 41,6 tickets
so my ev is 41,6 * 3,3 = 137,5$
my breakeven point would be if i only cash in 1/4 sats instead of 1/3

this is a massive difference, only problem is if never really grinded 6max hyper sng, in past did some reg en turbo FR stt, but unsure on how to play these hypers SH
can you recommend good vid or article specifically for these 6 max hyper sats?
Am thinking of making this a small challenge as a break from the cash tables

Found 1 intresting video about 6 max hypers satalites:

thx SDK, gonna watch it today, and play my first fpp hypers sats prob
gl at the tables

yw and Ty, but only VIP tournements for me this evening. That is maybe also intresting for you
Lost BTW with 4-1 with football today and halftime it was 0-1

cashed 6$ in 30000 vip tournament yesterday, with stats of 8/7/5 over 100 hands; was watching movie at same time so just played few premiums

the hyper sats are a bit too variance heavy for me, watched the vid and played a few, on one table I sat with 2 supernova's, guess i'm just gonna save my points and decide later what to do with them

after 14K hands my winrate is 0,11/100 h ; not the best result of course but not far of my monthly goal of 20k hands with 1bb/100 h, gold status on stars and on ps will not be problem, but still have to work hard on my game to not just be a rakebackgrinder

update september goals:
-20k hands at NL25 ( 14k already)
-gold on ps and stars ( about 2/3 on my way)
-work on gameplan by using weazel's ranges ( been practicing openingranges on NL2, next plan is to do coldcallingranges, then the 3Betranges, then the 3betcall and 4bet ranges)
-begin tagging opponents ( samplesize is starting to grow)
-biggest leaks: folding to 3bets to much ( over 80%)
-after I'm used to using gameplan, post a few interesting hands for review

@sdk: sorry about footballmatch, had similar experience at poker table: won one buyin, then lost 4 after. saw u finished vip tourney at about place 5000, guess u where aiming to get first

@arsenalpz: send u a friend request, u can give skype info in message then, so will be glad to add you

Weekend for me was messy. Poker didn't go well with 1 cash in 12 Fifty50's and no ITM in VIP Tournements.
Today new changes and GL with your goals.

have joined a studygroup on skype 2 days ago, is a really nice group, and really seems to motivate me to think about my game en study video's more seriously, by printing out printscreens and making notes when rewatching them

had a real goodrun ever since i followed the advice to only 2table, sit out other tables when involved in big pot, and taking more time to decide
also, after looking the video ten tips about stealing more, I opened up my ranges quite a bit, depending on villains of course
stats from last 1,5k hands from last 3 days

30/26/10

attempt to steal 58%
fold to steal 63%
cbet flop 60%
cbet turn 50%
fold to flop cbet 33%

winrate 45bb/100, allin adj: 40bb/100

obv cant keep this on forever, but might still save my graph for month that was at breakeven, maybe I can get to 2,5bb/100 by end of month

@SDK better luck next time in vip tournaments then

I dont care what you say tommorow Vandeuren! We will do a rail session tommorow!
Its going to be fucking legendary!

PEACE!

OT: Sick graph mate! Kepp it up

Indeed. Tomorrow new changes
Nice graph and keep it up

lost a few buyins, bad play mostly so decided to move down to 10nl for a while and work on game and bankroll a bit
september goals:
-gold on pokerstars (check)
-gold on pokerstrategy (check)
-breakeven on NL25 (check)

bankroll: 470$ + 8779 fpp

october goals:
-gold on stars and pokerstrategy
-10k nl10 hands, max 2table zoom
-bankroll back to 700$ and grinding NL25

gonna play vip mtts 2night, 5k, 30k, 100k, hopefully get a few extra buyins rakeback there

@Sdk if you're playing 2, gl and c ya at finale table

I have played too. Have min-cash in the 100 FPP 30k tournament.
How ended your VIP-tournaments yesterday-evening?
Further GL with your goals in October

@sdk min cash is better then no cash
min cash in the 30k, some spare change in the 5k, no cash in 100k, for some reason pokertracker did not show stats in hud, prob just my fault but could not be bothered

NL10 grind is going good, although i do miss the volume a bit, one or 2 tables zoom seem to help 4 my redline. last 200hands i did 4table again(hard to break habits), and my redline goes down again, so have to have discipline to only 2-table max. Goal is not hourly, just trying to build epic graph for this month
so far, so good
stats 30/25/8
