Hi Everyone,

Guntersafeword here.. After a bit of time away from the game, Ive just joined GG poker and am keen to build up some Bank roll and get to some higher stakes and tournaments. currently I am playing NL10, mostly fast fold variant and some normal tables and playing some Spin and Gold (which is maddening to say the least!).

So I appreciate any tips and tricks along the way.. I am slowly going through the strategy material to freshen up my game.
I'm also keen to see if anyone has any experience with the Spin and Gold team here and if they recommend them for an edge.

I've loaded up a couple of times getting my head around the crazy lines people are taking these days lmao.. talk about 3 bet city!!
and at the moment my Spin and Gold win middle and last % are 32% 36%31%.. but god damn I am ahead so often in the flips and lose out. So many games I manage both players All in behind, so hopefully that evens out soon and I get to the elusive 34%+ win percent so wish me luck for that.

I need to fix some leaks in my game, usually not believing crazy lines people take to win on the river and the occasional checked set..
So I guess thats a start and we'll see what comes up along the way..

I need to figure out what the best way to have hand histories and EV charts and stuff like that, so any help setting that up would be great.
cheers
GG and good luck,
GS

Well, the best way to start is a tracker.
Hand2Note has a free version but PokerTracker 4 and Hold'em Manager are both worth the price IMO,[1] and does most of what you need. If you're playing on a site that automagically saves hand histories as you play, that part is done for you — but you'll need to archive them periodically. GGPoker and Partypoker don't save the hand histories locally by default, however they do each have the option to download them (recommended). You can download them once a week, then import them into your tracker.

For graphs, most (if not all) of the trackers mentioned create graphs and give you the option to save them. Tools like Excel, Open Office and Google Sheets allow you to create your own spreadsheets and post the giraffes. For screen capture I'm using ShareX which is a FOSS (free open source software) tool with regular updates.

[1] But wait! There's more! See the Poker Tools page for more software options, many of them offer discounts to PokerStrategy.com members.

Hey man!

Good to see someone playing spins on gg as well.

With hand histories and graphs it's doable, as Vorpal said above, I use Pokertracker.

It's my 5th month on GG after having played spins on other sites, and on gg it's been much harder (less chips. more variance, more regs...). So I'm trying I'm also trying to fix my leaks and study as much as possible. Right now I'm winning 35% 36% 28%, and it can get better, so I'm positive!

If I can help with anything hit me up!

Good luck man!

Well isn't that strange. I copied the URL directly from the address bar, but the forum truncates it at the !

So go here: https://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/ and in the "Promotions and Freerolls" column look for "Blogger Raffle"
Just a test: Try this one: Blogger Raffle: Win up to $150 every week! <<< Edit: it works, but the URL is the same. I've asked the backroom gang to fix it if they can

So a bit of an update.. just to keep me honest.
Lost 3 buy ins playing NL10 and $5 spin and gold. such a sick game.
so I have applied to Smart Spin. @CuAt69UsdSnG and am willing to learn as much as I can from them.

If anyone has a suggestion for affordable coaching for NL10 and jumping up levels. I'd love to hear it.

Cheers GunterSafeword :f_drink:

Hi, Can someone explain how to post PNG screenshots from GG poker in here? lol

Ty

Update: Got some +EV finally, took my account down to $30 then yesterday mostly Rush cash built back up to $200.
have some hand updates to post..
Tweaked a bit of my play called down a bit less and would've had a much better day if I didn't lose a two outer all in on the river.

Heres to a big upswing!
