[Closed] Philipvw's carreer.

we focus plenty.. lots of us play 6max/SH.

I know Chen, but i meant in the articles.

There are already some articles based on 6-max tables, take a look here:

Link 1
Link 2

Furthermore all the post-flop articles can be applied to 6-max tables as well, and don't forget to check out the forum for lots of judged hands which can help you to improve your game as well. Good luck!

Hello Philipvw,

There migh be more focus on SH articles in the future, considering that it is a heavily played format at PS.com. Until then, as Zeffke already said, there are some articles, and most of the higher up videos are actually in SH format. For me atleast, SH videos did a lot for improving my game.

Best regards and good luck with the blog

I succeeded in my first poker goal! Finally reached $1k by playing NL10. Now I'll see some videos on this site and try to move up.

In the last 2 weeks i played about 38.8k hands and had a winrate of approx 9 ptBB/100 hands. (I don't have any stats program installed on the PC where i played). I played 4 to 6 tables, and tried to play shorthanded by changing tables constantly (on party every table at nl10 is 10 handed). This was enough to push my br of about $300 to $1k.

really nice upswing. i would prefer to see some stats and/or graphs

Sounds like your running hot, keep going that way! Good luck.

I'm back. I'm at NL25 (6max). I'm losing.

Any suggestions?

Seems like you are going not enough and to the wrong showdowns, you only go to 20% of SD, I have something of 24 there and W$SD has to be over 50%+

Altough it's better to post hands and comment them individually

Good luck

I'm breakeven again (lost the rest before i had pt3.)

What can the significant change at about 2200 hands mean? Nothing because sample is too small? The loose weekend villainds? ...

Very hard day. I lost 6 out of 9 sets on the showdown and folded another 3 sets on the river (I didn't slowplay them). I like my non SD winning though.

Worst pot was 200BB deep, some donk minraised my 22. I flop the set, stack his KK by the turn, but river is a king...

Started good today but went on megatilt after these 2 hands (in 10 hands) against the same villain.

These are real suck outs. If you learn to stand these things without going on tilt you are really good. I am sure you can do it.

:/ Maybe i played a bit too much the last days. Here i call the river with the (quasi) nuts.

Weekend players + (almost) no beats = upswing

The red line is stagnating however. I think it's because i have to many tables to focus on details. Maybe i should close MSN and all other stuff while playing.

nice

At NL25 SH. About $2.5k net. Bonuswhoring some sites. Lacking the ambition to move up (immediately). Maybe i played a bit too much last weeks. I often play too automatic and that ends up playing a hand i a weird way i normally wouldn't have done.
Sometimes I'm steaming. I can loose AA against KK perflop, or anaything similar, without a problem. But if I donk my stack off by playing without thinking it affects my mood. Certainly if it happens more than once a day.

Within 2 weeks I'm forced to take a break on poker (move to India for 5 months). I hope i'll find new energy to conquer NL50 SH at the beginning of september.

For now, I'll bonuswhore some more.
