Grinding to success

but how much did you lose?

something like $55? I only went in tournaments that day to get all the settings together for my new laptop before grinding

OK so a bad start with the new laptop. I tried mixing the $15 games but I ran bad so it brought me back down to $2400. Today I'm down even more. Hopefully it'll turn around soon.

Hehee, that EV thing is normal. In january-february i were under EV almost 6million chips, played approx 5k 180 mans.
With 2what roll u mix 15$ ones? I have played them 4.5k sngs and i am around 2k down, swings there can be sick. I suggest to use at least 4.5k$ to even take shot there. GL

I started mixing when I reached $3000 for the 200BI rule. But yea I'm just going to play $8/$3.50R/$2.50 until I reach $4500 and then try again

Here's the downswing that happened right at the beginning lol

Thanks GL to you too!

Haha I'm in exact same tournament: $4.40 2R1A $5K GTD and am 11/17 again. Let's ship this time ♦

Also 28/60 in $5.50 2R1A $5K GTD. 54 cash

gl im watchin

that tourneys mad soft startin at that hour on a saturday night

soo the $3.50R are being a bitch! But atleast I'm starting to win money in the $8s I'm under $2000 now though so looks like I'm only playing $2.50/$8

Here are the magical graphs

$8s

$3.50R

Same here, under 2k also. Not sure that will i even play 8$ ones today any more. How many tables u play same time?

I played 30 tables on my old/very laggy laptop. So when I switched to this XPS 17, I got up to like 50 tables lol. I was just registering to all of the $2.50/$3.50R/$8 games available. Im only going to play 35-40 tables now though. 30 tables feels really relaxed now

Lately it is just so sick, u wanna share skype and start to learn that shit more and just beat 180 mans, even crush?

your roi is mad low for 6k games. I think you need to focus on loosening up your shoving ranges especially at 2.50's and 3.5'sr Ive noticed your too tight. Volumns most important in these but you should have double your winnings easy even 40+ tabling. Ship me a hand history if you want

Sorry I review games during class lol. After school, I only have time to play Watching videos from winning pros instead of chatting with me would be more +EV in my opinion

Yea I know its crazy low. But search for the last 2250 games. ROI is still really low lol but that's when I started winning. You'll see when my downswing that Im currently in (which is why my ROI is so small) started and those 2 times I went for $15 (downswing in that too hopefully!). It would be way higher if I would have stuck to the $3.50R/$8 but yea made some risks

I just started reviewing games and I know I'm too tight in some spots heh thanks for clearing it up though

PS:

Yo I saw you make a pretty big leak today

Results:

this is a pretty iso. low pp dont isolate well youll get called too often by 88+ from behind crushing your equity. j10 is a better hand in this spot

wow thanks I thought that that was a boarderline push. Guess not lol. I have an excuse though, I took a pretty long break and that was the first or second session for a while I am considering of getting coaching though because if I can get my ROI% to 60% in the $2.50... That will bring in good moneys

Yep it is bad shove, cause risk is too big for small reward. ROI 60% on 2.5$ 180man ones still? Its impossible with big sample. I think max is 40%. If u check best players ROIs then u can see what ROIs are possibe.

when you have 30% rakeback isnt worth much?

Hey everyone! I haven't updated in a bit and that's because I can't play much with all of the exams/orals... that school makes me do.

I'm basically looking at the basics again of 180 mans. For the past 65K hands, my $EV bb/100 is only 3.5bb/100 I really want to fix that before school finishes so that I can play full time without worrying about my play as much and of course making supernova

Lately I've also been studying NL FR play just because 3 hours of free time isn't enough for 180-mans lol so instead of doing that, I'll just spend so much time with studying 180-man play.
