[Closed] Making a profit from FL HU!

Just finished some short sessions with SSS NL50 at Bet365

Bankroll: 273 (+49 $)

Merit points: 1691 (+140)

Was running really hot. I made a nice laydown with Queens preflop, there is one thing i have really noticed, and thats the betting pattern when people got monsters preflop, if there is a raise before them they min raise, i see this way to often with noobs. Especially when a shortstack (20 BB) raises to half his stack after a raise before him, he probably got QQ+

Really liking SSS atm. Will play live home game later tonight, with blinds 5/10 NOK, about 1/2 $ in blinds. Looking forward to it!

Hi lucksim1,

Very nice intro to your blog, good luck and I will read your progress with interest.

Best regards,

Bart

Hi, Any idea on why POstgre won't work on your pc?

Yeah, my computer is a part of my schools network, so they have modified alot of the system settings. The error message i get is that im not considered as a moderator, which i am. The computer guys at my school dont really understand much, so as long as im going to school i wont get access to stats on my laptop, which really sucks!

Todays live game went really really well! I got from 1000 NOK BI too 2900, wich is really alot of money!

Just played a short session:

Bankroll: 308 (+ 35 $)

Merit points: 1842 (+ 151)

Still running hot ♦

Going to bed now!

Played some more today, a little up, then alot down, and some up again. The variance in SSS is really big, but im pretty sure i can handle the swings!

Bankroll: 244 (- 64 $)

Merit points: 2246 ( +404)

Hello everybody! Nothing really new to talk about, but i will do a little HU SNG challenge for myself. Will play 50 HU sng with 10 dollar BI at Bet365. Mainly to improve my HU, find a true winrate and get some money and points!

Wish me luck!

Is it possible to find tables for SSS at bet365? I tried at NL10 but their was way to many shortstacks. Better at higher limits?

The tables are really full of shortstacks, but very few follow the strategy so they are really bad players.

I have been experimenting a little bit with Fixed limit, and will probably learn some more of that. Have been losing a little money to MTT and STT, but are now on my way up again!

Current BR - 199 $

Merit points - 3589

You'll find me at FL100!

OKej, but even if the shortstack players play bad, it is not good that they are shortstacks right? Or do you think they are as profitable as bigstacks?

I´ve also just started with fixed limit, on a lower limit. Kinda like it. good luck with your play!

Yo i want some graph XD!!!!!

lol

Did you try to uninstall postsql?

And after uninstall it did you delete it folder?The folder will be in program file with the name PostgreSQLl i think

You must delete the folder to be able to re-install it properly with PT HEM or Elephant.

IF this don't work dunno what will work

By the way Fl100 with 200$ is not a bit risky XD?

I have been running really bad, and tilted some money away, but i tested my luck in Blackjack and won 250 $....

I used the "system" bet 2, if you win you bet 2, if you loose you multiply with 2 and so on. Worked fine with me atleast.

I withdrew 100 $ so my bankroll now stands at:

Bankroll: 300 $

Merit points: 3996

Yes....

I won another 250 dollar in blackjack

And i have always been an eager MTT player, and today a came 1. in 15 $ MTT

So total bankroll: 1562 $

Just played a little session, 4 tabling with elephant stats! ♦

Any comments?

Lol i found it amusing reading your blog so far... At the start i have my preservations on your BRM but after this $500 increase from BJ and MTT win it seems you are rolling. Just wondering how many people was in the MTT?

Will be following your blog throughout the limits

Swire

There was 260 people in the MTT i think, so decent amount, but nowhere what amount it would have been at Pokerstars! I am back at pokerstars a bit, wont be playing at Bet365 until 7 october, then a race starts and i will SSS alot! ♦

I have been playing some HU FL at Pokerstars, and this graph is a couple of weeks old, but sure do i make money when i find the right opponent!

Still playing loads of FL HU at pokerstars, and it goes really well! I meet alot of people on tilt, and with sewere leaks i exploit. Will post a lifetime graph of all HU FL very soon! Getting loads of VPP and FPP, will be gold soon, and to be platinum would be really sweet!

Nice to see your playing FLHU one of my fav games ♦ just wondering what limits are you playing and what kind of BRM.. also how are you selecting tables on Stars... since its such a large platform I am sure you have a wide range of tables to pick from.
