Hello,
First you should be really confident in your game on 7$s. Swings are really cruel and 10 BI`s you can lose even in row. But if you dont have a problem to move down on limits, then you can even take shots with less BI`s. I am quite bankroll nit, so i would wait more, but shots can be useful in time to time to keep you motivated.
If u play on 15s avoid fighting regs and play just 1 table it should go well, unless you hit bad swing, cause on that stakes there are so many bad players.

750$ is enough but do whatever is comfortable for you, also Id recommend 15 bi shot.

Thanks for the advice guys

Truth is im not as confident in my game at the $7s atm as id like to be, that makes me concerned about recovering if its an unsuccessful shot at 15s so i definitely think i will wait a while longer, i agree tho that being close to shooting definitely gives me extra motivation for moving up

my week so far, definitely not helping my confidence:

Good, so dont take a shot. You should just take shots, if u are ready. Dont take shot if u are not certain in your game, that will just frustrate you even more if it goes poorly. There isnt nowhere to hurry, take your time.

You are right im definitely going to wait a while till i take a shot, BR has taken a hit recently and so i decided to play some 3.50s to rebuild my roll where i feel more confident

Hey,
Swings can be really cruel. Just keep playing, learn a lot and finally it will turn around.

Hey People,

Long time no update, mainly due to a mixture of being busy and then being too lazy to update at the same time.

Bankroll wise ive definitely taken a big hit lately, running bad, playing bad and constantly changing games have definitely not helped, decided im going to have a month playing turbo husngs to try to rebuild my roll with a little less variance than hypers, going to be playing the 7s.

heres today:

Will be updating daily or every other

Ended up getting frustrated playing turbos, not sure why, think i was being too results oriented over small sample sizes

Anyway since i fail at 7s im back playing 3.50 hypers to rebuild the roll, things have been going pretty decently this month at them:

Feeling super confident in my hypers game atm which has been helped since ive been watching alot more videos lately aswell, hopefully this run good continues!

GL ALL :)

Thanks frankie, support is much appreciated

Things have been going great at the 3.50s, rebuilt a comfortable roll and i feel im ready to take on the 7s again, but everytime i try i just get crushed, seems like my biggest weakness is playing against the aggro and crazy players who 3b shove like 50%+ and always c/raising etc.

for funzies, total 3.50s:

7s will be mine one day!

3.50s EV line looks great! congrats. sure you will hit a heater there also which will feel awesome no doubt. about the 7.50s it doesn't actually look too bad, i mean your EV line goes up which is the main thing.

Thanks Lewis

Running below ev doesnt really bother me anymore since im kinda used to it alot now, and used to running over ev at times aswell :)

But truth is the 7s are still considered very fishy stakes with a small skill gap from the 3.50s, and with the best players having 5% roi's it shows me i can improve very much on my 1% ev roi.

Not gunna get too hung up on it though, im looking forward to fully tackling the 7s again!

CHANGE OF PLAN

As most people are aware, Spin & Go's have recently been launched on Stars, been testing the waters for the last couple of weeks and at the minute they're soft as hell. The plan is to grind the $3 Spin & Go's until I reach 150BIs for the 7s. Been reading around the topic of rake and tbf im still not 100% sure if these are beatable (I suck at math) , but I'm gunna have a good go!
The Goal
:spade: Earn 6k by this time next year
Why 6k?
As you may notice, ive been very inactive lately because ive just started a Master's at uni, 6k will more or less pay for my course and a good percentage of my living costs for the year, undoubtebly i will go inactive again at points throughout the year but i will try my best to document my journey through Spin & Go's, no point posting any graphs yet as my samples are tiny, anyways, HERE GOES NOTHING!!

Wassup peeps,

Still a tiny sample of spin & go's but heres how its going so far

Decent heater i know, standard of play in these is pretty horrific atm, jackpot wise not had anything too big, one 10x multiplier which i lost so nothing to shout about, will probably mix in more 7s soon as they seem just as soft as the 3s
