I must play at least 80 HUSNG tomorrow, if not I will punish myself by playing the Sunday Supersonic

Also, most of the games has to be played on A-game. If there is alot too spewy shits, it will get penalty.

really? I often use playing the sunday supersonic as a reward

Well supersonic is just pure gamble, barely any edge. Since we play poker for money (+EV), the supersonic is anything but +EV vs those poker pros :P

Anyway managed to play 400 games so far, still abit low on volume but still lacking on motivation. Running below ev for months, zzzZZZZzzzZZZZ

Well I didnt read anything, just saw that you are playing the Hyper HU SnGs... I just thought about playing some of these too...

Do you think someone can beat this format even at the lowlimits like 7$? Or just grinding for Rakeback? ;)

I think you need some perfect mindset to play these games....

Rake on husng's is low so don't expect to get much VPPs unless you play about 100/day.

I started off with 3.5$ with some basic 100bb HUcash knowledge, moved to $7 than 15/30.

Up by $700'ish after 1100 games so far. Just running like shit for the past 300 games, including some semi-tilt/spew doesn't help much either! Volume wise is going okay, trying to aim for 1700+ by end of the month.

That fold COULD have been the best in history, if he could turn his remaining chips into a victory!

Ignore me, you were the AI one, he had "plenty" back, so that made no sense when I looked at the hand once more..

50BI downswing confirmed @ Hyper HUSNGs :(

Will wrap up the month with results and graphs asap. Didn't knew till today that I lost 50BI within 400-500 games few days ago.

Still up for the month, though the 50BI downswing is pretty cruel :f_frown:

August summary

Goals
[] Play 1250+ HUSNGs (played 1814 in total)
[] Play 150+ MTTs (played 310 in total)
[] Go to the gym at least twice a week (failed this for the last two weeks)

Winnings
[] HUSNG $945 (3.5% ROI)
[] Cashgames $75
[] MTTs -$92
[] Rakeback $225
[] Staking $325 <3 L3T
[] Total $1478

All in a decent month. Coulda been better, probably spewed close to 10BI's on husngs due my ego (know I'm beat and call etc) during that insane downswing of 50BI's! After a friend watching me play I learned that its pretty std so after that I kept playing my A-game and results paid off!

Any MTT'er able to solve this? Way too nitty or std fold?

Villain is semi unknown, 29/15 over 16 hands. No postflop reads. I kinda went for the nitty fold, is it ok?

Hi

I dont play MTTs (regularly) but from the few ive played he has a draw 95%
of the time . Generally the level in MTTS is pretty low
the guy can even have A5 and do that
Now if he is a wnning reg maybe u can put him in a set or something

Hi, I just started playing HU SNG on Stars and I'm going to play $15 turbos. Is it tough? And I hope that it's not a problem to borrow your ticks for goals ( and ) ;)

Hey. There pretty soft last time I've checked them. Just ABC regs with nothing fancy. If you get check/raised on the turn/river its pretty strong, as most regs will give up after bluffing the flop oop. Yeah feel free to use the tick goals, they're not mine either I just 'stole' them from 2+2 :f_biggrin:

Aight some september goals. I had other goals in mind but due a huge downswing I am putting different goals. I really want to climb higher but still not mentally prepared for it yet. I can see $1000+ downswings easily happening there.

[ ] Play at least 1500 HUSNGs
[ ] Play at least 150 MTTs
[ ] Give shots at 30s when I win over 20BI on 15s
[ ] Go to the gym at least twice per week :f_biggrin:
[ ] Review my game at least three times this month

Will also be playing my first WCOOP MTT tomorrow, GL me :f_cool:
