Great blog!
I'd like to ask...How many hours do you play,average,per day and how many games do you manage to play per hour (while you said you just play one table at a time)?

Keep running that good!!!

Thanks guys :)
I just play 125 games day, ussually it takes 4-5 hours depending on time of the day when I start play, like sometimes I start my session 10am than games run slower so it takes 5h, sometimes I start 1pm and it takes 4h.
But I started 2 tabling couple months ago.

What? No more pages to read? I think i swallowed your blog. Started small HU project and stumbled at it, reading every word.

Awesome achievement!

Looking back, would you still start with turbo's or you'd start with hypers?

Hey, thanks RovarTry :)
I think Id start with hypers. I like them very much, fast and fun.
I played 2 turbo games week or two ago, it was just soooo slow

I hear ya, but as a learning path, would you still recommend to start with turbos to get involved in more post flop play and so learn more? Yeah you can then suggest normal speed, but they are really to slow :) I think once you "master" play it's easier to adjust to <25bb play and switch to hypers...

Agreed?

Have heard people saying that.
But imo if you want to start with hypers than no point playing turbos, jump right in to hypers. I actually didnt feel that playing turbos helped me better adjust to hypers, first thing I noticed ranges was way looser than in turbos and variance much higer.

You've got point there. I guess reason behind my thought is that they will help me more in 6-max, as far as HU part and rest of the game goes...

Definitely interesting formats, both of them.

GL and I'll be following!

Yeah, learing hypers will help you alot at 6 max.
I know one guy who switched to 6-max from hu hypers and he told me that people are incredibly bad when it comes tu heads up play.

Yeah, this! +1

I play 6max hypers and try to follow every HU blog too. I get to play HU like 1/3 of the times and I really suck there. And you get to play 10-20bbs there so if you can grind 1-3 ROI at HU hypers then imagine how it would help in my games where overall ROI is up to 6%. :)

Just finnished last session this month.

Main goal reached - 17350 VPPs.
Also made some nice profit:

+ 700$ rakeback = 6200$ profit

Break allmost all records this month, biggest losing/winning day, biggest profits month, most volume

Also now reaching supernova is a must.

Probably will try add 3rd table this month but have to get bigger screen first and will get sharky and try 100s.

Also logged into FTP and I have there 240$ and step 4 and 5 tickets also 3k ftp points, but its just the worst time for ftp to come out because I dont have time to play there, I can imagine how people will be spewing their money.

Ftp had hu 30bb cap cash games, hope they wont be gone, would be interesting to try out.

Resuming grinding tomorrow.
Goals for next month:
[ ] - 17350 VPPs
[ ] - profit

I will be moving to other city this or next week, capital of Latvia - Riga.

That changes a bit my plans, there is just empty flat, so I will need to get furniture, internet, mby something else but that two things is priority nr.1.
I wont be able to play all days I planned in november but good thing I put good volume in first two weeks.

Sharky is not working good atm so no point getting it for 100s.

And seems it works bad for all regs because I take all lobbies I want regging manually, allmost with no simulsits, today have 40games/hour but when I play one table and try get second I have to focus more on lobby than playing.

Added couple cool pics of Riga in spoiler:

Very nice blog. Keep beating the :f_confused:

I am learning HU SNG and found your blog very useful. (Hyper HU rules :P)
What do you think about a bankroll of 30-40 BI for Hyper HU?
