keep it up!
I read about it on 2+2, its very nice for SSS masstabling, especially with opening tables, I have set bet amounts, like 3bb+1/limper preflop, a 66% cbet, it gets that automatically if i press bet, but i can use the dpad on the controller to change the bet amount. the 4 buttons are bet fold call check, with a trigger for all in, and 2 buttons for wait for bb, and unclicking the Sit out next bb/auto post bb once i've doubled up, and also a close table button for when it pops up that i've sat out or to post blinds. works amazingly for me so far.
thanks ihufa

prop bet on 100k or 200k hands? whatever you'd like!
wow great blog... hope to see some graphs when you hit 100k hands would be interesting to see the swings(i hear they can be huge), I have heard so much about SSing on SH tables never seen anyone do it. Best of luck to you.
thanks kidpokerskid, i'll be posting a weekly graph on sundays as well as a monthly one! so there'll be graphs

Im not wagering on it, but i thought you needed atleast 7 seats filled for it to be profitable? No?
Damn fell asleep last night, was planning on taking quick nap and then grinding more, didn't work out!!
2.5k hands- 20 BI at NL50, just woke up quick but now i'm thinkin i'll go back to sleep some, proper update later!

seems to me people are confusing basic SSS which uses charts with Advanced SSS which plays based on equity. As long as they adjust their range shouldn't be a problem (also helps when most people think that SS on SH tables are fish
)

Thanks for the explination.
Lol yes, always helps when people think your a fish.
ok well sorry kinda late, sunday night i got really messed up and didnt end up grinding (although lost $30 in 1/2 razz messing around with a friend online haha)
but yeah heres the update.. I pretty much failed all of my goals haha, i didnt eat very well, or at all, i was in my room for 3 days straight in bed, so just playing and sleeping basically. Because of this didnt get as many hands as I wanted to for the weekend, over the last week, i slept soooo much, and was quite sick so was kind of fail, so I also didn't work out. I also ended up smoking up last night so.. fail there too ![]()
Anyways over the last week I still ended up playing 16,704 hands despite being quite sick I think this is pretty good!
about 7.7k hands NL25 and 9k hands NL50, I also got $99 worth of FPP's from these past 2 weeks which is fairly nice! Small sample size, I'm at about $0.015/fpp which is almost supernova level, from the hyper turbo sats, I made a spreadsheet and will update when better sample size!
I'm just over 3k vpp from platinumstar, and I'm hoping to make it for this month, I would need to make aprox 13.7k hands at NL50 to get there, which i'm not sure I'll make in this next month, hard school next 2 days and then vacation going home to family for the weekend so we'll see. Hopefully I will make it!! Would be quite nice!
So I guess thats my main goal here atm, to get platinumstar on stars, which would also make me platinum here with my recent volume I'm sure, so we'll see ![]()
BR at $600!
alot of school today, around 600 hands, up 4 stacks! 4 bi above EV I won all my flips tonight
4.3k hands today! up 4 stacks! changing my play abit and hopefully will be more effective, more to come soon
was travelling today so 1 quick session before bed, 500 hands down 8 stacks ♠, 7 under EV and was getting coolered, ive been running way good last couple weeks though so im not complaining
just grind through it... need 1.95k more vpp!! go go go
sooo i haven't played at all this weekend, had the holidays with family and hung out, took it easy which was nice, I finally sold my BAP, so just collecting the reserves etc, should have $1200 to play sngs which is a sweet deal, probably won't play SSS SH as much for awhile, but will hopefully get a good grind going there, i'll update here
down $140 today in my stake. just ran bad nothing to worry about (i hope)
up about $150 personally, about $75 from MTT i got fairly deep in, was super exciting actually ♦ ahah
and up another $75 from sngs i'd played before receiving stake from escrow!
Where did you learn SH SSS. I know some russian players play it, but I never seen charts or detailed strategy on them.

I have kind of just done it on my own
a friend of mine plays it who got me started and i just kind of went from there by myself. seems to be working out allright

so i'm kind of coming onto a crossroad. I'm stopping school at christmas time and will start working. At first I will be living at home so I won't have to pay food or rent, can save up and am hoping to move on my own by next fall at the latest.
I'm working on all the personal job related things, and would in time like to make poker an important part of that. I will be able to grind and not cashout until at the very earliest Juneish, possibly later. I'm looking to put in a ton of effort and volume and really start taking this game seriously. However, I do not know where I want to start and in what direction I would like to go.
I feel although shortstacking has been a main part of my poker "Career" if you'd call it that, so far, that I'd really like to get away from it. I don't feel its helping me progress much as a player, and I'm thinking long term now and want to do something that will be profit me the most in the long term.
I'm basically between NL fullstacking and SnG's. I am leaning towards sngs however am not at all set in this decision. At heart I'm kind of a grinder, and I feel like I would be able to profit and move up through the limits in SnG's alot easier than I would be able to do through cash games. If anyone has any input or ideas I'd love to hear them
fullstacking ftw imo. much less luck involved than in sngs, as for moving up quickly - imo fullstacking is pretty easy on lower limits once you get into it and pretty safe way to build up your bankroll.
