Hey m8s!

I ve been thinking for a while about one thing. Is there a way how to fold KK in early stage of 9mans? I mean I never did even tho there are cases when am like "oh my, KK vs AA cooler again"...I mean sometimes it is so obvious against some good regs.
For example it ll be standard situation when there is early open raise from a winning reg who is aware of who I am, I make standard 3b and he shoves...I know ppl who wouldnt shove AK, but queens?

Anyways this is just for discussion, I still think I cant ever fold it in these open/3b/4b shove situation...but prove me wrong, pls Did u ever encountered some superb topic about this? Some math inside?...

Yes, you can fold KK pre in situation you've described, but that solid winning reg must know you and treat you as a pretty good player. Also he should know your 3bet range and your tendencies. It is about knowing each other.
Really solid winning players (in other words top regs at particular buy-in) never ship AK against another one and most of the time they fold QQ.

The phrase "never fold KK pre" is a good advice for newbies.
Interesting is that most of regs think it is a shame to fold KK, coz they read that phrase and stick with it.

Ed:..all i have said, considers 1 player (us or top reg) in early position.
Bvb war and raises from btn are absolutely different cases.

Yeah, yeah, must be EP raise and must be some top reg, coz I know of many good regs with nice winnings shoving AK over me all day long so ... they re not good enough...
Numbers are also pretty easy - he cant be shoving QQ, thn we can fold KK...it is still very hard to get sample enough to be sure. And othe thing is - could he adjust and shove lighter? ♦ Nah, that seems unprobable. But I definitely have a good spot to concentrate on...

yep, he can adjust but don't worry, up to buy-in $30 you won't see this adjusting ever, coz those top regs at these buy-ins play 25+ tables and the last thing they want is to play some poker with another top reg.

Hey, just finished 100 games session, 3,2 hours. Was super funny, I missclicked number of tables in TN and was playing 30+ for like an hour...weird is that it was slightly lagging and my comp aint that bad...w/e, didnt have a clue about my winnings or "losings", very nice ppl at the tables...abarone68 on like every single one, met Roy4lPl4yor, onnniej and had few tables with Unam during his coaching, we end up at HU at 30$ (he won) and I sucked at him at another table, so..I RULE! Lol just kidding.
Well and I checked results - +600$ means 35BIs UP!!! ♦ ♠_biggrin:
Sooo sick, am gonna play another one, have some sick points at BoP so I think -50BIs downer must be comming ♦
GL!

Oh my, so I did feel lucky once...
My connection went down during next session and...my backup connection was down too...WTF? It took about ten minutes and I was at 20 tables cca...but I managed to be breakeven, weee...but my BoP points suffered, I had 1200 and 30 sngs left...now I have 1350 and 10 left...next time, maybe...

I ve decided to make some kind of a wrap-up. I have the goal for 4 months, but I had such a nice month, in most stats the best so far in my 1,5 years pro career.

I ve played 4362 9 man turbo sngs in 164.3 hours with AV buy-in 15,78$. It is the highest volume for me so far, most hours spent also, I had higher AV BI at FTP...I ve acumulated 24.713.30VPPs and finally, I made a profit (clear profit, FPPs value and BoP...) of 4.300$ . That is definitely the best month ever, I was never over 4k...am really happy, hard work is finally being paid off, hopefully it ll last And one more number, it is slightly over 26$/hour.

Anddddd....

...am GOOOOOLD STAR at SharkScope ♠_evil: (such a stupid thing but makes me happy).

26 $/h is a nice salary in an average country. I could definitely live off of that in Lithuania. Great to see inspirations like you.

lol, beautiful, gold star ! :), man, u are da man !
nice progress and numbers you achieved, congra, hope you will make this again next month.

Anyway, tell me if i should care about my place until the end of the year, couldnt let you

Good to see a nice clear post of profit and hourly $ etc from a higher limit player.Most of the blogs i follow start by showing EVERYTHING but start getting secretive the more they start making/improving which is annoying. Keep up the transparancy all the way through to the mega $$$$ please.

Very nice results can only imagine how good it is for hard work to start paying off well played sir well played.

Thx, means a lot from u. I dont know if u should be worried, I would have to have a very solid month. Abarone might have a better chance, but he s playing 18mans also so...U OR ME ♦

Thx! I have no reasons to hide something or so, If I had I wouldnt been writing this blog, right? Just grind your way up!

Milan, you gotta be fkn happy my friend! 26$/h on 15$ is not good, it is the nuts. Some grinders play and beat 50$+ and can't get close to that win rate! I didn't even think it is possible. I think I was making ~ 15$/h when I was playing on stars. Way to go! Keep up the hard work!

Well done Milan

I could live off that in England, and it would be tax free!!!
How much better can it get when you get SN?

I am very happy There are different ways to get that hourly...grind low stakes sick volume, be the best at high stakes, grind high stakes for rakeback..and so on...it is about searching. I hope I ll be able to stick with what am doing for few months and u know, every day is a new one Thx and GL m8.

Well done Milan

Thx! If I were SN and played the same I did this month it would be +400$.

Wow sick month man, 164 hours is pretty solid as well. That's like 5-5.5% ROI right? Congratz and keep it up of course ♦

Not much new, just bought the new HM2 and am pretty dissapointed it is so slow with so many bugs...also imported all my sngs super badly and it is useless Gonna test HUD with note caddy and "vs hero" stats, thats the main reason I was very excited about HM2...

I've installed 30 day trial too. Not slow, no bugs yet, but hell yeah it missed more than 30% of games while importing.

Haha, I just wrote whole post about todays unbelievable sick downer and it helped me enough that I didnt even post it...♦

Great improvement. ♦

Btw since you're pro, how do you manage your schedule? 6 days/week?
