Haha the mystery .. there had to be an option but not anymore ... maybe there are slightly different clients? I just hope they bring it back.

The page explaining Rush&Cash is outdated. It also states running it multiple times is not allowed at rush, yet they ask me every time.

7.5K Hands @ $2nl (Excluding ~500 hands of losing @ $5nl)

I am happy that I am running according EV now! This is 4.40 EVbb/100, slightly winning, which is okay. But this is the kind of graph that can still go any way, really have to wait for more hands before something can be said about it.

I am only satisfied with it because I know this is short term, but it needs to go up! Although I paid $7.99 rake (over 7505 hands), which is more than my profit and about $1/1000 hands.

In fact, playing this game costs (1000/6*$0.01) + (1000/6*$0.02) + ($7.99/7.505) = $5 (blinds) + $1.06 (rake) = $6.06/1000 hands, which you need to win back just to break even!!

That is to stop watching the current hand end go the the next!

Ah, I see there isn't anymore fold&watch key, so you should hold the Fold key in order to watch!

I'm not Vorpal, but that is what their outdated help page says, to hold down the key, but nothing happens when you do, you only fold when you release. I guess they figured removing that option makes people play way more hands which means some serious + in $$$$.

But yeah there is some serious monies involved: :f_tongue: These are the rewards for the mission:

Hey Stackoffski!

How are you doing in the Honeymoon challenges? What challenges you had to do so far?

I just started them myself.

Hi, all missions I had where from the list you gave me, but not in the same order exactly

... I missed yesterday ... getting dealt AA with AoF ... I didn't want to play 220 AoF Hands because $1 is the lowest table, and who knows ... 220 is average for a pocket pair, maybe I have to play 700 hands before I get dealt AA, and my bankroll is only $90...

Because there are some missions I am not even going to try, so won't get 30 anyway, I thought I can skip 5 missions and go for the T$110 .. so I can skip 4 more ...

However today I wanted to do the mission ... 20 Aof SnG's ... but they don't offer AoF SnG's in my country, nowhere to be found in the lobby after logging in, only regular AoF tables. There is also no Battle Royale ... because of regulations. So I can't do today's mission as well. :f_mad:
Last time they automatically gave me some Cash$ because I couldn't do the AoF SnG and missed out on the prize because of it. I guess I'll go and ask for a substitute mission if missing today gets me in trouble not getting the 25 missions.

I am at day 11 now, Good luck with yours!

Look how nice my $2nl EV graph at the GGPoker PokerCraft thingy is going, although again a little bit of bad luck (even more so at nl$5):

Little note: this is without rake :f_tongue: :f_tongue: ... and then I get 20% of the rake back.

The graph in holdem manager is not so nice ... I will show it today when I hit 10K hands.

10K Hands @ $2nl Rush:

What can I say ... I like the rake-less graph better ...
10K hands of break-evenish play ... well it's better than loosing ... still have to play more to see where this is going ... an little upswing can change it all ... just avoid the downswings and I should be okay!

My BR is only $87, I want it to be $100+ before playing nl$5, I like to keep 50 buyins for nl2 (or less now).

Looking at my positional winnings and stats it makes no sense, loosing from EP and MP with the tightest stats, so definitely need to play a lot more hands...

My Honeymoon at GGPoker is going well, 10-15 days before I get the T$110.

Add the $20 for 20 missions to my bankroll and realize some of that T$110, I'm sure I will have enough to play nl$5 again soon ...

--

I think I found that I am leaking a lot of bbs in the BB with calling some hands. This concerns low suited Aces and suited Kings, as well as middle pocket pairs. Probably I am chasing the flush too often postflop oop or hang on to my middle pair oop for too long. Most likely calling a minraise and/or multiway pots. I will start to either 3bet or fold these hands preflop. I win with the preflop 3bets fromt the BB.

While cashgames are not going so well, I had some T$ and played a few MTTs among which a Hyper MTT... Weird structure... I donked my way to the final table and got 4th of 692.

Lately I've been thinking I might be better at MTTs than at cashgames ... but I don't like huge swings.

Bankroll is now $265, so I will start to give the $5nl sharks my money again instead of the $2nl sharks.

And another T$110 in sight!

Why not?
They look like they could be fun!

But seriously, one way to keep MTTs from eating a hole in your bankroll, is to designate half your cashgame profit for MTTs
So for example, if you make $10.00 in a week cashgame profit, then on the weekend, you could play $10 worth of MTTs

You shouldnt make assumptions like that without at least 200k hands. You lose one huge pot and boom, low suited aces are not profitable. I think this is wrong conclusion - for me suited aces on big sample are more profitable open and defend from BB than connectors or low pockets, and I dont think i'm only one. Anyway it looks like you are playing probably a bit too tight anyway

Whoowee I am getting nausseous just looking at the at image!

Right now, I am supporting my cash-game losings with mtt-winnings. I hope that will turn around.

When I look in Holdem Manager, there seems to be a pattern. But you are right it's too soon for definitive conclusions.
Funny if I would have folded every BB it would have lost only -16.7 bbs/100 plus any walks.

According to that, you're winrate in BB is -57 BB/100
If you did absolutely nothing, your winrate in BB would be 100BB/100
So you're doing fine, really.
Could it be better? Sure -- but it could be tons worse.

Get a list of your BB hands and go over them to see where you could improve.
Post some of the puzzlers.

In long run -57bb/100 loose rate from BB is terrible. Winning player should aim for less than -40bb/100 on BB and less than -20bb/100 on SB. With -57/bb/100 from BB you may be break even player at best.

Anyway this screen just shows exactly why you need huge sample to determine your winrate or profitability of different hand types. EP and MP losing, SB winning and BU less profitable than CO or SB.

Hi,
I posted in my blog full description of the H missions day by day and how impossible it is to get the last reward of 150$, but 110T$ is pretty possible, not easy!
Further you go the most ridiculous missions are popping up!

Hi vengeance77,

We have the Honeymoon missions here also: Honeymoon missions.
Some are pretty impossible indeed, winning a specific MTT lol ... so I will only shoot for the T$110!

@Vorpal: haha you are right, folding 100% big blinds would of course be -100bb/100 at the big blind position ..
