Unfortunately busted as 9th or so while reshoving my A8s against a BTN open who held AKs. Too bad to run into the top of his range.

Hey guys, just made the decision to cash out my bankroll to use it mainly for my new home.

I am gonna make some kind of micro plan which I will inform you guys about later this week!

Stay tuned! :f_thumbsup:

Wow, I hope I get such a massive upswing one day! No insult: Besides playing well and I´m sure you do, you cannot achieve such results without luck, without good hands that hold up.

Yeah ofcourse, you always need some luck and your good hands need to hold up. That's the whole variance part. Let's hope the good run continues in the 50 euro tournament for which I have a ticket. I also read something about exchanging your tournament tickets. Do you know something about it? I read on the unibet community forum that there are possibility's but as a Dutchie I am not allowed to register on their community forum.

Yeah it would be bummer if I get into a massive downswing again knowing I could also cash out the money and use it for my house. I would slap myself against the head (if that is a correct "saying" lol) if that happens.

That chair will come one day!!

Yeeeeeeeeees, Tonyyyyyyyyy is riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!! :f_ugly::f_ugly:

And that´s getting better, I just took a shot at the 10€ MTTs on Saturday and this week I wasn´t able to play a single hand.

But I will post about the changes in my BRM in my own blog soon, that doesn´t belong here :sorry:

Hey there guys,

So this is gonna be the plan for now. Is still have a 50 euro ticket on Unibet. I think I'm gonna shot a 50 tourney because exchanging the ticket is not possible anymore. :f_confused: If somehow I manage to win a decent amount of moneyz in the 50-euro MTT maybe I will reconsider my plans again, but let's not be too positive, although, on Unibet everything is possible. :f_drink:

I will start out with 50 euro's, and this is how the moving up and -down schedule looks like:

I am also thinking about putting a part of my money on Pokerstars, because Pokerstars simply offers more low-stakes games. But I am not sure yet, since the tournaments have really big fieldsize's there and that's mainly one of the reasons I play @ Unibet. But maybe some $1 180-mans, they run for 4-5 hours (correct me if I am wrong). I hope the schedule I posted is clear, but if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I will start out grinding the 1 euro tournament's and sit & go's and we will see from there.

Good luck at the tables everyone!

Tim

Yeah, 4-5 hours, but if you're uncomfortable with the specific ICM of 45-mans, then you're indeed better off grinding 180-mans even though they start every 10-15 minutes only; or you can spend a few hours on 45-man ICM training and start crushing them by folding your way into the top 4 :f_drink: (At the final 2 tables, tighten shoving ranges a lot because the opponents' ranges will likely be closer to the chip EV mode than to the ICM one :f_ugly: )

Multitabling at Unibet is a real pain in the bum bum :rage::rage:

I'm more comfortable with the 180's since they strategy in those is more like in MTT
s - play to win and not fold to win (as in the 45's).

Yeah, I have a laptop and I usually keep my tables limited to 6 at a time.

Angstzweet, the traffic on the 1$ 180-men on Stars is not really great. I played them too and use to play them once in a while: You wait forever until it gets started.

I will see how it goes, enough other MTT’s on Stars.

You're not the only MTT reg who dislikes folding to win - it seems to me that the contempt for ICM is socially conditioned in 'the MTT community' :coolface:, which makes me wish to grind specifically Stars MTTs after the payout structures have been flattened :coolface:

The positive side of folding for the win is that it´s comfy. Eventually nobody asks you HOW you won, you DID win, that´s what counts. I hate to win in tennis by just playing savely, too, but if Villain makes the mistakes, I win by just NOT making mistakes. Hate to play tennis like that but eventually I WIN with this "strategy" against weak players, there´s no point in taking a risk. The same goes for poker. If it´s enough to play AJ+, 22+, then do it! Then be an AQ, AK, JJ, QQ, KK, AA -player :f_ugly:

Please stop this internalised bumhunter-shaming. At a game where each party understands that it's just a game, any win is a win :profit:

Pfffffffff...... I´m just stressing the positive side of lame-duck-tennis and lame-duck-poker :f_tongue::f_tongue:
