Stand back!... I’m going to try science [microDoN]

I see you tried some STs too. On day 10 you missed one tourney. You played 2 superturbos and the lost one won on one. See HM2 doesn't recognize getting itm on the superturbos so you result position is 0. And losses $1.10 you have to go to tournament window and righclick on that tournament and edit it. Put finishing position 1 and winnings 2. Voila. Then refresh the tourney window so you get correct winnings and graphs. If you have any other 0 results it from superturbos who you got itm. So correct those too. Its kinda stupid but am used to it. Also it helps not trying to look your grahs during the session when playing supers its all downhill untill you correct them in the end ♦

thanks man)) that really helps)

by the way, you seem to have good knowledge relating to HM. Could you please tell break down how to filter the stats depending on the number of players left in the tournament?
6->5->bubble
thanks beforehand.

HUD Filters

Got to Hud options and then HUD filters As shown on the below picture.

Alsonote that I play some normal SNGs also and cashgames so my filtering is optimized torun the 6max DONs correctly but also to the shorthanded and fullring SNGs as it is the filtering is not "anchored to a certain hud but works on every hud you use so you must remember that you use the filtering incase you change your game format.

Incase you only play the 6max dons ever then you could just do

2players 2-10
3 players 2-10
4 players 3-4
5 players 3-5
6 players 5-6

and leave the rest as they are as they really dont matter for shorthanded dons. Now this gives you info how eachplayer plays the first rounds before someone drops then only showing how they play on that situation. Incase you want an "overall stats" for the first round when there are 6 players you put in 2-6 on the 6 players place. I don't really need to use the starts as I am noe interested how the players play when the blinds are still small and not their overall stats. but suit your self and test things out that will help you the most.

Here is the way I have set it up. (and like I said its usable for HU sh and FR games sng or cash no matter the format but the setting from 3-6 players are optimized for DoNs atm. easy to change incase i need optimizing otherwise)

Hope this helps. Its more that you need alot of data and lot of games when you filter this tight but it will be very handy on seeing how different players play different spots instead their overall stats as they become irrelevant when most of the stacks on table are below 12bb. At that time you really need to know against whom you push ATC at what position and whose wide range you can try and call lighter.

Lemme know.
Cheers and GL!

DAY 13
good day..Friday: 10 tournaments played, 4 lost, 6 won = +0.2$=+0.17 Buy-ins

DAY 14
great day: 12 tournaments played, 4 lost, 8 won = +1.6$=+1.3 Buy-ins

and now time for the week report: within the first seven days the results are following:

what I would like to change in my game:
1.) again post at least some hands..I respond to ppl who post them there, but don't do it by myself, that's a pity. perhaps, I should just take mark at least one (or a couple of) hand while playing and then post it

what I like about my game:
1.) It seems like I finally began to exploit some villain's leaks relying on statistics I've gathered. You know, some cbets in Axx boards ...obviously, it's not likely that he hit a good hand, hence with some opps it is beneficial to check-raise them and some another regularities

DAY 15
great day: 15 tournaments played, 3 lost, 12 won = +6$=+5 Buy-ins

Nice streak there

12 games won..imagine $1.2 more with STs due the rake

Have you tried the fullstack STs? the blinds have slowed down on those too and the structure seems better than what it was. IMO those take forever o finish too and you get the postflop game opportunity in the beginning with the full stack.

HAve you tried the filtering of the hud?

Well keep crushing!

are there fullstack SuperTurbo DONs on iPoker???

..yep) a good idea. But so far it seems a bit useless as:
1.) I have not so many hands in total. separated by filter they the number of hands is miserable
2.) I guess it only helps with more or less thinking and adequate people. So far I see so many maniacs who don't even understand what they are doing)

but I guess it will be beneficial on higher limits...
how big do you think the bankroll should be to start playing 2+0.2$?

yes there are superturbos with 1500 chips to begin with and to me they seem utterly slow and boring ♦ so for 50% the rake I do think you should give them a try. just look for superturbos that don't have the shorstack symbol. See lobby to be sure starting chips 1500. You get better volume as bad opponents and half the rake.

BR management in DoNs. Well its really up to your comfort level. You could go for super agressive 20-15, agressive 25-15, moderate 30-20, tightish 40-30 (i use this due to multitabling and considering the variance of SSSTs), or tight 60-40 or pro model 100+. Obviously the games are excatly the same really. Different names as bad play. You could mix in $2.4s orr if you start playing the STs $2.2s at say $45 or so. If you play like 4 tables at a time play 3x$1s and 1x$2s just get in data from villains to come and obviously when beating those faster growth, then at $50 put in another $2 table and drop $1 table at $60 3rd and $80 just exclusively $2 tables and down the same steps so that at say $30 you drop the last $2 table and grind up the $1 again. Or something similar. This way you avoid the hey I move up hit a bad run and loose 10bi of the new level right off the bat and then have massive grind yp again.

You can really rely on your stats and the things they tell you after you done 1k+ tourneys but at these levels its waste of time to play that many if you hit the move up line. I'd say as agressive BR management as possible thru the $1-$2 games and $5+ put in more buffer for variance. But that is totally up to you if you are prepared to mive up and down a lot I would plan something like my example above. If not then go for what ever suits your volume mental and gaming skills.

Hope this helps.

ah, these Sts with 1500 starting chips) I don't really like them) they are 10 seated

thanks, I'll ponder it over)

there are 6max ST DoNs with 1.5k starting chips too..just filter superturbo 6max $1.1 games. They are there. As it is I occationally take them into the set if the SS games are not starting fast enough.

I've played the 1.5K 6max starting stack ST DONs but it's too boring and very slow.
800 starting stack is far better and more fun w/ less rake for sure and more traffic than 1.5K ST DONs.

I find them boring too but if whatsuup thinks the SSSTdons are too fast then methinks he could enjoy the $1.1 supers with 1.5k starting stack. Atleast i think he should play a set of those and see how he likes them instead paying that horrible 20% for the edge..not much edge is needed at these levels anyways. Most of the "regs" are loosing money constantly on these. Maybe few % hit on roi but 50% less rake really pays back for that. I mean 11 games at $1.2s = $1.1 more raked than on $1.1s so you rake 1BI for ST don for every 11 turbo don played. If you loose 1 or 2 more playing STs its still lot more profitable as each win is also $0,1 more. So imo no need for even simplest science here to understand how terrible is 20% rake. I would do all in my learning capacity to learn the STs as 20% is pretty much unbeatable.

DAY 16
sad session: 11 tournaments played, 5 lost, 6 won = -1.2$=-1 Buy-ins

makes sense))

Thats just sick 1BI lost with more games.won.. 10% rake would have been bad too $0.1 lost..but thats only 0,09BI not 1BI

DAY 17
no comment: 17 tournaments played, 8 lost, 9 won and thanks to mixing 1.2$ with 1.1$ = -0.5$=-0.4 Buy-ins

unfortunately my HM's internal time is not synchronized with time on my PC. who know how to fix it??

below the reports leaflet you see your players name/alias..under that settings. then it opens up to general settings and right there is the time setting options.

I actually knew that, but these settings have nothing to do with time synchronization(
