Keep it up

You may not be dead, but as long as you're not on Skype you're dead to me :(

Good job some are still reading this, no idea why tbh

I have such a busy schedule atm that i'm finding it hard to find the time to put in a proper update, maybe i'll just update using cliffs like the last one :f_biggrin:

Still crushing the $7s for ~5% EV ROI over 3k games or so, the $15s are looming and I plan to crush them too. Watched a reallly good vid (that I can't link obv) a week or two back that has made my Non SD line absolutely skyrocket without having too much of a negative effect on my SD winnings. Instead of checking back my marginal holdings on the river when they most likely have the best hand (eg KT58A board with 8x or something) I just turn my hand into a bluff and barrel rivers to get 90% of people to fold.

Obviously you can't be results oriented during this, first time I tried it some fish called me down on AQ59T or something with 53o :f_cool: but since then it's all been uphill. Take a look:

You say awesome work, I start the day off with -25% EV ROI over 30 games :f_mad: That's the worst EV ROI i've ever had over more than 10 games I think

what BRM are you using right now? im playing the 7's and am over rolled for this. just getting a grasp of things before i move up to the 15's

only have around 150 games so far w/ around 9% ROI small sample.
i want to be @ the 15's by may and probably around the 30s to get a decent shot at supernova

100 BI is sensible, I know it seems conservative when the games are so easy but the variance can be crippling, i'm a 5% EV ROI winner over a decent sample, but still have had a 90BI downswing.

I was right, it really isn't my day. Just dropped 10BI in a row in ridiculous situations like AK < AA, full house < quads, straight < straight, set < straight, pocket pair < higher pair etc etc. EV taken a fucking nosedive and had to quit my hour session without looking at results short because I was going to tilt my face off :facepalm:

Gotta get my grinding hat this afternoon and tomorrow. Gotta hit my goal of 250 games before Saturday so I can move up in time for the weekend fishes.

In other news, i'm running sickeningly good in card distribution atm, 25% EV ROI in the last 66 games :f_o: :f_o:

Let's keep it goingggg

So my journey with the $7 HU Hypers has come to an end, since i've played so many of these and endured some fairly significant swings I thought it deserved a blog post. Below are all my games on the $7 limit, we all love graphs, so enjoy:

So now my journey on the $15s begins, from the limited number of games i've played (~400 or so) it always seemed fairly easily beatable, and whilst it's a very small sample my EV line showed promising results (+20BI or so) so now i'm not just shot taking i'm quietly confident that all will go well eventually

Fairly good start to the $15s

Spoiler

Games are so beatable it's unreal, i'm not noticing much of a difference between the $7s and the $15s. Had a fish try to hero call 3 streets with Q high just now :facepalm:

It's the hypers you're playing isn't it? What ROI you think's achievable at the $7's?

5% is a good ROI on the $7s, 7% I think is the absolute maximum you can achieve.

I ran at 98% ROI before, admittedly it was only over 1 tournament....

Hi Wriggers! You have a very interesting project, it's one of the few I'm following, as I am on the same path playing hypers. I actually looked my database and we played 2 games together last year, you declined the rematch after I won both of them

But you are obviously much better, I admire the fact that you've maintained such a high EV roi % playing 7's. Would you mind if I add you on Skype (or some other messenger in case you don't have it)? I'd love to get some short advice on the general strategy to use on this level and some information on tendencies of different villains.

I know I could just watch every video on HU hypers, but it's best to get information from the best source possible at every level imo. So do you think I can pick your brain on your journey to be among the best at these stakes? :) I' ve been among biggest winners on 3.5s in January and I have some small problems transitioning to 7s, as people here play so weird that I sometimes question myself, if I'm not maybe suddenly the fish here.

I'd prefer talking on skype as I said, but we can just debate here or wherever you want.

Thanks!

Hehe thanks, sure add me on Skype: Wrig90

I would say that if you're beating the $3.50s then you're definitely good enough to beat the $7s, the level of competition is pretty much the same but the rake on the $3.50s is higher, as such my ROI on the $7s is actually higher than it is at the $3.50s.

Whilst picking my brain I think you'll just end up getting a summarised view of my favourite / most helpful videos as there are definitely a few i've seen where I have come away from it thinking "I'm going to make so many more chips using that strategy"
