asmirovic took a look at my screen and it was nice.

It seems that the pressure at my work is decreasing a bit, but after the session of tonight I am pretty broken. And it only took 2.5 hours with 4 tables of Nl200.... Ooof.

Well we'll see what happens

Greetz,

Funny hand against a 34/17 aggro looking guy (126 hands)
His flop raise reps nothing imo. Maybe a lucky 6x. Porly he doesnt believe my cbet.
The A and the small bet on the turn changes nothing, but I would fold to a river bet.

Hi Tampa,

You need to take it easy - 1.7k hands in a month is crazy. You've heard of burn-out, right??

;)

GL with December.

Still alive out there?

Started out on the SSS dutch forum and ended up over here

You up for a sweat session or some skype talk about SSS? ;)


Hey all,

Hey Ben! Thanks for passing by. Sure I still play some SSS. And sweating is good fun :P

lol@Tim :f_biggrin:

I back to MSS Rush again.... Aaaaargh, but hey it should be possible right? So the plan is to grind 50k hands and see how it goes. If that goes well, I will grind 50k at NL25 and so on... Going well means 2xbb/100 minimum. It is kinda funny playing with 500 BI :f_biggrin:

The good thing of rush is, that you can play whenever you like and whatever timeframe you like.

So here is the graph of the first 10k hands at NL10:

When I have more time, I will be playing rush MTT's as well (the 4.40 ones). I like these a lot, but they need a loooooot of time :f_cry:

Hi all,

Played a session again. So far so good. Running below EV and still run at 3.5xbb/100. The sample is still small, but I like the tendency.
Total graph so far:

And this why slowplay sux :f_cry:.
Hate the whole hand.
Pre is maginal. Should have bet flop+turn and c/c or c/f the river depending op de bet size.

Hi all,

Played some MSS NL25 and it sucked
Played some SSS NL100 and it kicked ass.
Played some MTT Rush and came in 3rd out of 300 for 150$ :f_biggrin:

Blinds 6k/12k
Stacks
BB 60k
SB 120k Fish
Me 120k
Pushed A9o from BU and SB called with AJo.

Greetz,

T.


Hi,

So I moved up to NL25 MSS. I think I finally have the ranges about right and I have corrected my 3bet IP vs OOP sizes. I started of with too wide ranges in UTG+MP. CO+BU are still very loose ofcourse Total graph:

LOL -7 BI in 4k hands session yesterday. Didnt hit any board, no action with the few big hands I had and fish hitting everything

You gotta love Poker :f_love:

I've had an awsome weekend though. Friday was gig night with my band and it kicked ass! We were finished at 23:15 and then we were partying hard till 04:30.
Saturday was headache day and in the evening I went out to diner with my gf.
Sunday morning was swimming time with the kids.
Sunday afternoon was knock out time on the couch.
Sunday evening was poker time.

Nice! :f_love:

Hi,

Hi Tampa since I'm considering moving back to SSS, what network do you play on now?

I tried some on stars NL25 and it seemed really soft, but points and bonuses really moved nowhere, wonder if NL50 looks alike.

I also play at FT on shallow tables (NL 25 and NL50), which look soft enough, but there are very few tables so I can't rathole and just open all tables on that limit.


Hi RahXephon1,

Currently I play at FTP and Stars. My roll at Stars is small so I play NL25 there.

At FTP there arent so many tables indeed. So what I do is I start with SSS and stay at the tables as long as there are fish. So this means sitting with 20-xxx blinds. In the evening there are ~10 tables NL100 and some NL200+. Start your own tables and sit out until there are enough players ;) Fish will join and you can take their moniez :f_biggrin:

I think there are ~15 tables of NL50 in the evening so if you mix that with NL25 it should be ok right?

So you will need to do some studies for MSS a bit and you know SSS and BSS already.

I will see you at the tables then?

T.


Well on FT I didn't really feel the need to rathole, since it's not that hard to adapt to midstack and it still seems profitable (also people make big mistakes with those stacks). I have also been opening some new tables as usually the fish sits down first and hopefully you stack them in a couple of hands or just rebuy and play deeper.

Well I'm just getting back into feeling for SS and enjoying it quite a lot. would you be interested about a session or discussion sometimes?
