So, how much is your BR right now? I want to know how much it takes a moderator to move up the limits! :)

unfortunately we aren't super humans :( Or poker pro's either :(

They're just like us but with silly avatars :P

I actually thought you were at least NL50-players! Sorry!
Anyhow, I would still like to know where is he with his BR!

Thanks for the timely reminder of 'He has it!' by the way, it earned me a few bbs I would for definite have given away last night! :]

So many people moving sites, was it Unibet Dr D.?

Oh just a quick point, I actually am a super human, a feature of my personality that seems to have completely escaped Mrs gadget's notice for some odd reason.

So do you feel you beat the game and are ready to move up now Dr.D?

glad it helped gadget! even though i said it, im still not working with that info and im still paying off the fish :f_frown:

yeah unibet is where i will move im at stars party and 770 atm, but will combine the roll and move over to unibet.

:heart: :diamond: :club: :spade:

As for beating the limit... i feel like it's debatable, but here is my graph for the last few months at pokerstars and partypoker. it includes nl2, nl4 and nl5 across 770, partypoker and stars:

Spoiler


total winrate: 5.41bb/100

and here is my total graph filtered for between 2 and 6 players:

Spoiler


total winrate: 8.06bb/100

i only actually looked at this graph yesterday while having a serious think about what to do. so i decided to move up since im mainly not playing nl10 because i wanted a reasonable winrate across a decent sample at the lower limits. i also think i owe it to myself cos i dont feel that im getting too much out of poker atm. having said that, im pretty sure these arent true representations cos i tilt purged about 15k hands at one point :facepalm:

my favourite hand happened in yesterday's sesh.. it's nice when you don't run into AA :) talk about overkill...

Party, $0.02/$0.04 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 6 Players

Hero (MP): $4.06 (101.5 bb)
BB: $5.05 (126.3 bb)
CO: $4.75 (118.8 bb)
BTN: $6.65 (166.3 bb)
UTG: $1.10 (27.5 bb)
SB: $6.06 (151.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K K
UTG calls $0.04, Hero raises to $0.16, CO raises to $0.48, 4 folds, Hero raises to $1.60, CO raises to $4.75 and is all-in, Hero calls $2.46 and is all-in

Flop: ($8.22) T 2 K (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: ($8.22) 8 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($8.22) K (2 players, 2 are all-in)

Results: $8.22 pot ($0.41 rake)
Final Board: T 2 K 8 K
Hero showed K K and won $7.81 ($3.75 net)
CO showed Q Q and lost (-$4.06 net)

Hey Dunne!

Reading your blog during lunch at work.

You and I are going to take over Unibet! If I've got that security check sorted. Got an official document drom the city hall and all should be fine this time!

And it's about bloody time that you're going to move up! Nl10 isnt that much different from nl5.

Why such a strict BRM? You were up for NL10 far ago?

well i had my initial bankroll last year which i got up to nl10 with just before christmas. uni work hit and i had to stop playing properly, so i cashed out. played on and off with a small amount on stars since then whenever i got bored and ended up with a second bankroll getting close to nl10! i could have put them together but i decided not to and to just start back this summer on nl4 to prove to myself i can do it. i guess i just needed to get back into it all. but i also knew i have many leaks so i wanted to do some plugging.

That's a great plan! Even though it wasn't intentional, to have BRs on two or more rooms! It's safer because of potential Black Friday on some Tuesday :) and because that is extremely safe BRM! Also, on Stars you can play MTTs on other grind cash-tables etc.
Good luck on your NL10 attempt!

well first step to depositing has begun. i've cashed out on partypoker and pokerstars. i have $10 left in my stars accnt so maybe i'll see if i can zoom it into something. might read a little MSS too since i like MSS when playing underrolled.

... or maybe i'll learn some SnG strategy.. or maybe HU SnG.. who knows.... who even cares...

$10 is not a lot, but I could do a sweat in your choice of game ;)

i'll use my 4k FPP to play tourneys and use the money to zoom some nl2 MSS for a bit. but i could definitely do with some sweats when i start on nl10 at unibet :)

still waiting for my damn moneys to arrive in my account X(

well im still clearing my 770 free fiddy but im getting closer. and im really loving HU cash atm despite high rake. firstly, i get to clear the bonus quicker, but more importantly im playing against many different people and i feel like i get a better feel at identifying what they are up to and then adapting to exploit them. that said, im still a massive HU fish :P but i get to play like 70% of my hands so it means i get into some tough spots. think i will consider developing my HU game for the future.

i spoke to a friend who i havent heard form in a while yesterday and he asked if i wanted to play a HU game with him on stars. so i wound it up and we got playing some nl2 cash (my bankroll was only $10 :( ). i've played him before but somehow all my notes were gone from him so i had to start from scratch.

he was hard for me to work out at first cos im usually not playing thinking players, but i didnt try to get too fancy - i just cut myself off from the fact that we know each other and tried to play as i would anyone else. my general observation was that he was really aggro pre but passive post and it took some adjusting. although im sure the game would have been much harder if i didn't pick up some complete monsters:

Poker Stars, $0.01/$0.02
Hero (SB): $5.50 (275 bb)
BB: $3.83 (191.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K Q
Hero raises to $0.04, BB calls $0.02

Flop: ($0.08) T A J (2 players)
BB bets $0.06, Hero raises to $0.16, BB raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.34

Turn: ($1.08) Q (2 players)
BB bets $3.29 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.29

River: ($7.66) 8 (2 players, 1 is all-in)

Results:

Spoiler

$7.66 pot ($0.27 rake)
Final Board: T A J Q 8
Hero showed K Q and won $7.39 ($3.56 net)
BB showed 2 4 and lost (-$3.83 net)

the reason for my minraise was that he was playing back so much and when he wasnt he was treating it as a standard raise, so i made it my standard opening - no reason to open 3x when he is 3betting me like crazy.

i raised the flop for value thinking 2pairs are in his range. having said that, given how he was playing preflop i think this is a wrong assumption. he would have 3bet such hands preflop. but anyway, his 3bet on the flop scared me since he was playing so passively postflop. every time he raised me he turned over a big hand, so i called and decided to re-evaluate the turn. not much to add when the turn came - but even though i turned the nuts and it's so easy to play, i don't like his shove! i think it's really bad given his hand. no weaker hands will be calling and no stronger hands will be folding. he has almost 0 fold equity there while i have a heart very often here. i actually would go for a check/fold on the turn if i were him - no matter how much that sucks. possibly even a bet/fold but definitely i dont like the shove.

after the session my stars bankroll is almost doubled (WOO!) so i get to start playing nl2 zoom i think and not even MSS 10BI is enough :f_cool:

anyways, i hope the money comes through soon so i can start grinding out on unibet :)
