how many tables do you play ?

i started off playing 4, then moved down to 3, and now am back up to 4 speed tables just because i wasn't getting enough volume.

i really want to post some hands/graphs but currently i am playing without hem2/ a hud

so how many hands do you make per hour ? with 4 tables

i think i usually get between 750-900 hands an hour. it varies depending on how many big hands i have, as i tend to sit out at 1/2 other tables since i only get 10 seconds per decision on each street.

how many tables do you play? and at what limits?

nl10 atm about 6-8 tables, normal ones of course but that volume you get with only 4 tables its just insane lol

just came off my worst session in a really long time. i played absolutely horrendous in a couple of spots, threw away $30 in 2 hands, and then lost a bunch of 80/20s and one AA v AK v JT aipf (won the bigger sidepot v AK at least).

despite all that i finished down only $26, so im packing it in for tonight, doing some homework, and will be back at it again tomorrow

played almost 2k hands today, down ~2.5 BI. couldnt win any all ins today, and didn't receive much action with my big hands.

i heard hem has an update out for speed poker so hopefully i can get that up and running soon

too much homework to play cash games at good times.

played some tournies tn after doing some homework. ended up coming 3rd in the midnight madness on tilt, made a pretty brutal fold 5 handed, and after that couldn't really recover....

looking forward to the weekend and some grinding though ♦

finally back! finally with a working hud!

had a pretty brutal month so far without a hud and not a lot of time to play.

first session back while watching the united game ♦

2 hrs
850 hands
+$49

most of my hands were pretty standard, here's a funny one vs a fish...

HUD is working!!!
New Popups in HEM!!!

Only problem is that Betfred sucks!!!!!!!!
The client keeps shutting down, shut down 4 times during my 30 minute session. Once when i had KK, and another when I had KJ on AQsT.

luckily both hands were either pre or on the flop and therefore not much money was invested.

ran super hot in my short session though

28 mins
234 hands
+ $65

first hand of the session pretty much, decided to flat bb's min donk as villain's 3betting range is so tiny (2.1 % over 927 hands) and will almost always raise flop.

+ $97

pretty much every big hand i was involved in was standard on my end.
this hand was really the only interesting one in which i could certainly have gone either way on river

What he have? AK turned into a bluff? Pretty tricky without reads....

Why don't you cbet the flop?

FD, SD, random floats maybe, plus you don't want to see a K on the turn.

As played I like calling down. I don't think he'll just bet once. If he bets he'll bet twice with his whole range.

back again after playing very little poker the past few months ♦

unfortunately i have taken out over 80% of my roll to fund school/trips to cuba and uruguay so i am left with around $1100 to play with.

i might end up withdrawing more, and leave around 300 to play NL10 with.

here is one hand from today's session. finished around $20 up.

seems like a pretty standard hand for me, even though there are a ton of missed draws.

i put villain on fds/ some small pairs that would most likely fold on river...

update!

shipped a tourney last night for around $430, which is a nice addition to the bankroll.

currently i am not sure where i should play. i receive rakeback on full tilt and betfred but i have issues with each. i doubt i will play enough to make playing on stars worthwhile, but the software is amazing and i feel like i play my best there.....

currently playing nl10 as i am waiting to get money off of my titan account.

played two sessions the past two days, and am running pretty well, having made around 6BI in 2k hands.

it is about time i make some goals for the new year!

1k hands a day (avg)
1 blog post for every session
3 hands posted in discussion forums per session
1 video per week
move up to NL50 by March 1 (current bankroll $1575)

finally, here's a fun hand today vs a total fish

also i attended pleno's coaching session today, and i would highly recommend it as it contained lots of great content!

played 2.7k hands today, unfortunately hem only tracked 36 of them

maybe the rest of the session will show up at a later time.

ended up around $65 (6.5BI).

here is the only hand of note that occurred during my 36 hands that were tracked....
