Second hand I also fold every time. It sucks, but we're hardly ever good once fd gets there, also T8 gets there etc... If draws missed and villain does this, I think I'd call probably 100%, as we don't have to be right that often.

If you dont mind answering, what hourly are you getting? Im trying to decide if I should switch to HU hyper turbos from 6max... I guess I can calculate the hourly myself but I don't know how many you can play in 1 hour if you're "1.5" tabling.. im guessing ROI for 60s for decent reg is 2-3%...

Its hard to say as PT4 doesnt show your hourly :/
But it should be between 20-25$/h + rake back. But you can incrase it playing 2 tables constantly or playing 3 tables. Its just for me hard to switch to 2 tables, but Im planning startin completely 2 tabling in next week as Im feeling good when 2 tables are opened, will see what happen.

I hope I will have 3% roi 2 tabling so than my hourly will be ~30$.

In theory you shoud get 28-29 games, as if you 2 table you get around 35-38 games depending how fast you play, but its a less as there is sometimes toughter opponents you need to pay more attention and if you want opensit its takes couple extra seconds to take lobby. I ussually play 95-100 games in 4 hours, when I was single tabling its was 75-80.

And yeah, 2-3% is decent roi for 60s.

Btw what stakes you play?

@bjela nice villain you having there raise/calling 46o ♦

My average buyin is $35, mixing stakes for better games.

Whats attracting me to HU hypers is the fact that often the biggest winners on a network/site are HU hypers players... from looking at sharkscope.. which also means that they don't even count rakeback

Hi!

I like your blog and what you have achieved since the first blog post! I've been watching this blog from time to time but now when I my self has started to play super turbo HU SNG at 888poker I really started to find this interesting! ♠_biggrin: My graph are not looking that good thought So I was wondering if you knew about any good vids/articles that could help me that you could recomend to me? Not just here, all around the internet (since I have bronze status

Happy grindings!

Hey, thanks

First dont play on 888 hypers, rake is HUGE, even with bonus rake is still high.
You can play allmost twice lower stakes at stars and make more than at 888 at your current stake if you are winning at 888, like if you have 52% winrate, you cant beat the rake at 888 at lower stakes but at stars its 1.5-2% roi.

Speaking about videos, you can watch some videos on PS, they are very basic, also JackTheShipper hase some free videos you can watch http://www.youtube.com/user/JackTheShipperTV

There is a lot good videos out there but you have to pay to see them.

Tomorrow startin grinding. Today get back from festival and am superexausted after spending allmost 3 days drunk :/
Later will post some pictures, I know most people like pics ♦

Thank you for the kind replay!

Im aware of JTS and LOVE his vids and consider them absolutely the best out there! I will for sure check out the rake between the sites, the only reason that I play on 888poker and not stars atm is cause the competition is so low, but idk how it is at the hypers so I will check that out

Thank you and GL with the grinding tomorrow ♠_cool:

Ok looks like this week I will also have volume problems :/ Now Im hoping I will get 1k games in this month, 300 to go, its like 3 days of play but with my current lifestyle it wont be so easy how it looks.

Also promised pictures:

      
Very nice blog, you've got a new follower

Gl !

Ok end of the month.
Low volume for 2 tables, even for 1 tabling, but run good

+ 100$ from cashgames + 100$ from rakeback so total profit 2272$

So if ps really are taking over full tilt and I will get my 300 back than 1100$ more to be made before moving back to 60s.

Just this line seems fos, glad he didnt jam river.

Ofcourse it good thing ♠_biggrin:

This month so far:

As you can see volume is good, at least for me ♦

And it looks like it will be my first month when I play more than 2k games because I dont have any big plans for august, so looks like I will have plenty time for poker, I could even take 2-3 days off and still make 2k games.

If I play all working days I will make platinum, but even if I wont make playing normally but it will be close than will just make one 4tabling practice day ♦

well done, great EV ! keep it up

Had breakeven week in chip ev so down only rake.
Also it was very swingy, week started with losing 15bi, next days I won 35bi and today lost 20 bi.
But at least played planed volume. On wednesday and yesterday had to do some things irl and didnt have time but still maneged to play/auto pilot 100 games each day. Had to play 1am, I ussually dont play so late, very hard to focus and easy to make mistakes.

Here is an example ♦

Totally misreaded my hand, I thought I have T2 but at least villain did have same hand lol

Still need to play 535 games to get platinum, If I will have free all week than it shouldnt be a problem.

Hey. Nice blog, will follow it from now on I also started hyper HU myself, and im interested in any new videos about them could u pm me videos or strategy if u have some good luck!

Hey, I guess you already watched JackTheShipper videos?

Ye, I already watched JTS vids, they are awsome thanks for those and ill do as u said about membership. Thanks and good luck

End of the month.
Happy with my volume, got platinum. Not so happy about winnings, hit downswing in last two weaks, not exacly downswing just not winning, Im breakeven in chips but cant beat rake.

+ 355$ rakeback and bonus
total profit 1994$

So now I have money for living expenses for half year and will start taking shots at 60s, plan is to mix them in when bankroll hits 4k$, atm its 3.4k
so hopefully in next two weeks

Nice blog U made an amazing progress. Ill try to follow your steps
Btw are u planing to try out ftp when it comes back? Good luck!

I dont think I will jump right in to it but if traffic will be good than I think I will switch back completely to ftp, 27% rakeback > pokerstars ♦ ofcourse if they still will have it.

Month starts with upswing ♠_biggrin:

Today won 26bi so I have bankroll for mixing in 60s.
Allmost got to new record winning games in a row but lost 15th game and I already had won 14 games in a row before. Also I think this is best day ever +700$.

At the beggining I think I will try to get avarage bi to 40-45$ so if I play 100 games in a day than 35-40 is at 60s.

Also this time will set stoploss at 60s no matter what is my br, I will rebuild if I lose 10-15bi depending how big will be my br at that moment.

Tomorrow will get my laptop to computer service, my charger is not working properly and its lagging, so will play on other computer but I dont have there any tracking software so will play without hud so will start mixing in 60s only when will get my laptop back.
