Spin N Go Hyper Edition

mini update: Hypers are really swingy but i like them even though i just had the doomswitched turned on yesterday evening. When you know you got it in good theres nothing that can be done when they hit their 20% 7 times in a row. frustrating but it wont affect my next all in or force me to call with 96o to an all in just because i think i can get lucky like them. my ev line is still going up which is the most important. It shows that i actually dont play like complete crap.

I will update every 100 game I think with a graph/stats.

Good luck with your new adventure and that you win even more then with FLHE

thanks. I need more time though to be winning as much as i do in FL. But ill try, im thinking of paying $99 for the "beginner" hyper turbo pack on husng. steep price for me but if it helps me be a winner ill earn that money back..

Right now my EV ROI is 4%, the green line and showdown line is both below my ev and non showdown win line. Meaning im Unlucky as a donkey to a horses breeding.

So my first 100 games. and the end suck. suckout after suckout. lost 9 games in a row wth. for example K8o vs J8.. KxxJJ board over and over again. I think i played well. but what can you do when you shove all in with 44 and get called by 55 just as an insult.

Everything went well up until yeah the past 10 games. then apparently math just said f you.

So im going to be getting chadders0 hyper turbo guide thingy. cant wait. I hate being a loser at the games i play. Gonna study like crazy

while taking a break from hu I decided to have a bit of fun and i had seen on sharkscope/youtube some players had huge success in 6max super turbo and i thought hey they look fun so I thought id play a few.

Games:6
1st: 2
2nd: 1
3/4/5th: 3
6th: 0

I was a bit lucky in 1 - 3 all ins. but other than that it was pretty easy since the cards came my way. Overall very fun. But I want to beat the hu hypers grrr..
Ill be taking a break/play something else until i get my hands on that chadders pack. waiting for poker money to come into the bank. That i withdrew from 888 (I should probably return t here with some money. the competition is so soft and they got 0.40c HU Hypers ♦ wooot woot a dream for a micros guy like me

So Ive been watching the chadders pack and learning. Gonna rewatch each video several times and write my own notes just to make the ranges and all stick all the better. Playing a little meanwhile also helps. I pretty much got it down how to play 20-25bb deep aka the first 2 minutes of the game ♦ now on to the rest.

My initial goal is to reach an EV of 2% gonna take a lot of work but I definitely think its achievable in a relatively decent amount of time. Time to take poker more serious than ever before.

games since last i updated have been pretty much breakeven losing to rake. so no real update. my EV ROI are going upwards again though doing around 1% EVROI again.

Today was another exhausting day in poker. But at least i stayed cool and didnt for even one hand do something i didnt want to on a normal good day.

Games: 35
Won:7
Lost: 28
ROI: -43%
Net Winnings: -$15
EV ROI: -5%
EV NW: -$1.88

as you can see it wasnt the best day ever
On another note Ive gotten through about half of chadders pack and loving it. Im definitely learning and playing better than before getting the pack.

Overall graph:

Net Won Chips : -14.770
EV Net Won Chips: +655

Yeah my EV dropped below 0 line. That was a particular bad day where i got all in on flop/turn and they got there on river.
For example this hand

PS: MAN IM RUNNING LIKE DOGCRAP ♦ It really hurts but i gotta laugh rather than cry and get mad and go Hulk mode.

Hero (BB): 320 (4 bb)
SB: 1,180 (14.8 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A♦: A♣:
SB raises to 160, Hero raises to 320 and is all-in, SB calls 160

Flop: (640) 5♣: 8♠: 7♦: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
Turn: (640) J♦: (2 players, 1 is all-in)
River: (640) Q♣: (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results: 640 pot
Final Board: 5♣: 8♠: 7♦: J♦: Q♣:
Hero showed A♦: A♣: and lost (-320 net)
SB showed Q♦: 7♠: and won 640 (320 net)

11% on turn. all day long.

But i have made some bad calls all in for +20bb I gotta cut down on the call all in in early game and try and play more for post flop before <12bb mode.

Spin n Gos 95 games:
EV ROI: 3%

HUSNG Hypers 171 games:
EV ROI: Gone to shit -something

which should i continue to play ? ♦ Man i really wanna get good at hu I need to study more.

due to some Fixed Limit play combined with spins and husngs my bankroll has gone from $300 to $344 to $318

So im turning this into a spin and go blog for spinlegends. I know im all over the place but here we go i guess
I will probably move my roll from stars to 888 and keep playing some husng hypers. getting hu practice is never bad.
Just need to clear some stuff with stupid neteller (i hate that crap) and hopefully im ready to go all in.

Today ive played an astronomical 36 games after memorizing most of the beginner charts you get in spinlegends. really easy to learn but i gotta admit. I played like that already. maybe a little wider in all in terms but yeah it looks and feels really solid Good stuff. cant wait to learn more.

After getting a little lucky in the end winning a 6x on $1s I managed to just barely lose the last game which ended me in a net of $0.00 with rake $2.08 for the day. very exciting. -.-

probably one of the first days if not the first that im running above EV yay? *sarcastic look and tone in voice*

Good day today and the past few days actually. Today
5 games lost
6 games won:
2x = 3 games.
4x = 1 games
6x = 2 games

for a total of +11 BI profit all in all

Overall FINALLY ABOVE 0!!

real ROI 1% EV 7% ROI wish that was gonna be my overall real ROI forever and ever ♦ id be playing 100 hours a day then.

+4BI today. could have been more if i wasnt so unlucky to lose 4 flips / 60/40% in my favor in a row to lose a 4x game. really sucked but at least my ev keeps going up and green follows. One of these days i might actually start to run above EV I was close today to beat my EV line. but not quite.

On a more positive note. Im extremely happy that even with limited research/studying. I have only gotten research from the great Xanham and some youtube videos and the starting charts of spinlegends (although i used to play a bit more loose than that so it didnt really CHANGE CHANGE my game. That im having an EV that goes up and steady. I know your gonna say its $1 its a shovefest. Yeah true but still its a new whole format. I have for 10 good years avoided anything called No Limit. and now im actually doing pretty okay.

short update. Ive been in 2 25x in my spin career albeit only about 400 spins. BUT the first one i lost as 2nd place. THIS ONE I WON !!!! $25 thank you very much !

AJo vs A6o for 7.9bb effective my first opponent gone!
HU 3 hands in I am not sure whether or not this was a good call but I felt so strongly he just bet his entire range and he was quite passive but due to 10bb effective and the dynamic hes seen me go at it more than any of those two. They were scared shitless because it was a 25x. Yes i sort of maybe folded a few hands in sb i shouldnt like KJo vs a min raise. But being OOP is always bad. and honestly it wasnt that big a bet compared to my stack. What do you think ?

yay me

nice blog, nice results.
I only had one 25x spin (in 250) and also ended up in 2nd place (my mistake).
hopefully i can win my 2nd one, too.

Hopefully I will never meet you at the table

Go get the next x25 !!! Im rooting for you. Except if we are in the same x25 ♦
If we meet then lets hope for a good game!

I just got to Silver Status on Spinlegends so Im "resetting" my stats from today on. (after my x25 win) need to play 500 spins as fast as possible on $1.. Lets go (after i watch all the videos available to me)

First day after reset and playingh with spinlegends money. halfway through videos. and trying to play that way. not working out so well for me to be this tight.
plus unlucky as f.. Coildn't even win with AA as shown below. always second in the 4x and 6x's. as you can see at the end of my session. no hands worked out. fucking sucks being down -$7 after day 1... I know money is not that important but you start to feel it when AA, AK , KK , QQ, doesnt work out more than 30% of the time COLLECTIVELY..

The only AA hand. HU in a 6x

Hey Avataren,

It can be difficult to embrace following a new strategy, particularly when you are told to take certain lines that are opposite of the way you would normally play.

I remember one of the first hands I ever posted here for evaluation, I was asked "Why did you limp?". Simple answer was "Because I always have".

It took me quite a while before the message sunk in that opening with a raise was by far a better play than open limping.

Keep having faith in the strategy and the strategy will look after you. You will rise through the limits, gain access to SpinLegends next level videos where you will probably have the opportunity to play more hands.

Good Luck

Laz

Yeah playing tight doesnt suit me very well. Its boring and your losing so many opportunities to gather chips. I guess a tight nice strategy in $1s is the way to go. But like not taking stabs at all limped pots is like why not ? Why not play K8o BTN 25bb, 65s, 54s, etc. Just doesnt make any sense. I know 1s is known for all in preflop with Q2 (look above) but those hands play well regardless of opponent. Meh ill try my hands at it again today and rewatch some videos and watch more.

one thing im sad about though is i got less than 1 day on my starshelper trial key Soon i cant use it and now im all used to it

after quickly losing 8BI with EV close to 0 line. Im taking a break for now.

since spinlegends silver began (-$15 half of my br) And like who even thinks 30BI is enough for spins ? Makes no sense to advocate a 100BI rule minimum and getting sent 30BI.. yes 1s probably should be beatable for a HUGE amount. but even the best go on downswings more than 30BI at the lowest stakes.

on the upside my ROI is 6.79% and EVROI is 13%
