Lower the expectations Fran, it will be only 2k games - not enough of a sample ![]()
Hopefully standard ITM will follow and expect no less than 3.5% ROI on all limits.
Day 7 - 35 games
1.53 hours
No time for graph now gotta head out
Played badly, would say my C- game. Played with my muscles killing me from 3 days straight of CrossFit + going last night to Jazz festival staying up super late. Whole day is just a mess.
So overall not happy with how I played but despite that was getting set up.
From tomorrow I will go for 100+ games a day so expect steady graphs and analysis.
Day 18 - 64 games
2.22 hours
Another crazy day. Coached 3 sessions , played some HU hypers on laptop and ran way bellow EV.
Then I decided to play 17 tables! Wanted to test it out before Montenegro move to see if I can do it or not.
Turns out my focus is not in synch right now for 17 tabling. I can do 14 15 no problem, 17 is a bit too much - especially after grind brake I have had. So I will work to build up to it if needed.
Also today I felt I had good distribution late game but set ups early game + playing good HU. Result is in profit about 4-5 buy ins.
I will however check early game exits and pre bubble and bubble to make sure about the spots while 17 tabling.
Here are 2 graphs. From tomorrow I need 1425 games until end of the month to hit 2k games.
Good luck me!

Results graph

Yesterday no grind, instead of it lots of coaching sessions (4 if I remember correctly) + live poker with brother and best friend just for fun.
Today I played 150 games and it was very interesting to say the least.
One thing that I am 100% sure I did wrong today was some lighter raise calls in 4/4 pre bubble. The reason why I did it is a lot of regs were 3 betting me very light so I started calling them lighter. Turns out that times I raise called them they were mostly on top of the range lol.
Another thing that happened was tons of coolers, running into better hands with nash vs nash shoves as well as post flop shopping from people. Also people raise called me light with some very bad hands and they shopped so its gg
Overall I am satisfied with my post flop , HU domination, pre flop 99% of decisions I made. I will pay attention more about those raise calls 4/4 and things should click.
Here is the info about the day

Like 2 days ago, tons of setups and people shopping.
Satisfied with my play. HU was very much card dead and ran with Ax into stronger Ax many times. Same thing with bubble shoves/calls etc
Overall very satisfied with my play!
Here are the graphs
Results graph

ITM graph

HU 19 vs 24 or 15 vs 19%!
Yesterday played 50 games!
Will post graph later today.
HU less 1st then 2nd by 1 game or something. Felt I was crushing my opponents in HU post flop then by typical card distribution 12 to 5bb with blinds increase they managed to come back and win on many occasions. Felt that I should have had at least 3 more 1st places. But what can you do, that's HU game.
The important thing is that I didn't tilt at all. played my solid game and results will follow with sufficient sample.
Today , hopefully will put 100 games or so.
Spent the day with my best friend and talking to my students. Later on will meet with my friend who is coming from abroad, followed by CrossFit training in the nature (around 5-6pm).
Hopefully I can start my grind around 7pm and with brakes finish it by 12!
Have a good day all!
Yesterday no grind but today managed to put 75 games
New things happening on 30s. New regs entering games, making very bad spew raise calls from many positions and shopping
This makes me happy long term because person raise calling QJo will never adjust enough or A6o KQo etc. Very bad and fishy plays , but I am not here to school them but rather encourage them to play this bad and give me their $ long run
So the way things are going in HU today and last 2 sessions is criminal to say the least. Card dead is OK, don't mind being card dead really, its about not surviving all ins with stronger hands over and over until eventually I get setup and finish 2nd.
Today was perfect example of this, tons of 2nd place finishes!
Very much look forward to Montenegro move, grinding 5-6k games and evening things out long run vs this bad ran.
I am sharing with you graphs from today + graphs from the whole month.
I also need about 150 more games this month to renew my 100k SuperNova. Look forward to that also

Nice job and grats on SN. Any chance you could share how much you earned in rakeback/vip bonuses this month after renewing SN?

Hey man ![]()
No SN yet! Need about 150 games more mixing 15s and 30s.
This month is very low pre RB - haven't checked how much exactly. I also played some HU hypers on my laptops, running 200$ or so bellow EV in them as well. Volume is also huge joke , 975 games and 37.65 hours invested in grinding - just not cool!!!
For year so far I am at 15k profit post RB with ridiculous low volume. From 1st of June I played 2.5k games and that is including HU hypers!!! April I spent in HU hypers coaching and staking deal. So overall my SNG grind has been way lower this year compared to last!
I am however playing 30s, my game has improved tons from past October, feel very confident that I can play anyone on 15s and 30s comfortably ![]()
Next step will be to build super solid roll and shoot 60s in some near future (end of the year, beginning of next one etc).
Hey,
Will read with interest how you do.
I play quite a lot of HU hypers too, good fun games!
There was a discussion today on the site I play on regarding Cartails on PS, basically saying the lobby is blocked at any game $15 plus, crazy stuff!
All the best for the remainder of your challenge.
What's your ROI at hypers?

Hey thank you Larsonk7 ![]()
What limits do you play for HU hypers?
I played in April this year 15s and had about 4% ROI there or so.
Cartels are happening on 30s but you can go around that by purchasing Sharkystrator, labeling all the regs not to sit them and then Sharky will do the job for you.
Thank you for the wishes - expect minimum 150 more SNGs by the end of this challenge, everything on top of that will be cool

Results

Felt this session could have gone a lot better for me results wise. I had semi good card distribution but still kept running into over pairs with strong raise calls or people shopping with smaller Axs hitting flushes or 3 outers vs monsters etc.
Overall focus was good and am satisfied how it all went. I might have made only 2 or 3 wider raise calls but that all depends how you approach that topic. Very happy with how that area went also. Also managed to slow down when was necessary and bluff catch profitably on numerous occasions.
Tomorrow have dozen things to do but will still try to hit those 75 games or less for SN renewal.
Hey Mate
I mostly play £5 hypers, which is probably about $7/$8.
My roi is about 8/10% over a decent sample size, I've made about £900 this year from HU Sit and Go's.
I mainly play these for fun/ or when the cash tables are nit reg infested.
I'm well bankrolled for £10/ even £20 games, but have no real sample size at £10 plus games.
How many tables do you play at once?
I can play 2 tables in HU Hyper's, but my win rate decreases over 1 tabling.

What website do you play on since currency is in pounds? Just curious ![]()
That seems like a huge and very unrealistic win rate for Hypers in my opion.
I can 3-4 table HU hypers comfortably. I usually play them now when going to coffee place with my best friend, 1-2 tabling, just to keep my mind sharp for pre and post flop ranges/game plan/playing balanced/exploiting various opponent types etc.
I play on sky mate.
8/10% is defo achievable on the site I play on at the fiver games.
No doubt would be less higher up.
And quite often i'm just 1 tabling, so it's really easy to pick up on what people are doing and exploiting it.
I'll try and get some1 with scope to get my stats for fiver HU games for the year.
I need about another £400 to get a wee star on Sharkscope for profit from Sit and Gos for the year:)

That is sick ROI for HU man.
What volume per day can you play there? 200+ games ? In how many hours?
That might be worth looking into for some future projects!

SN reached again!

Felt I played very well with full focus. Finally HU comming to its place, dominating like I expect of myself to do so. My advanced bubble study is really paying off - very happy to see that today and yesterday.
Enjoy the graphs!

I think this may be it for this month challenge.
I have 4 days left before I leave for Montenegro. During that time I have 2 CrossFit trainings(Thursday and Friday), coaching sessions, need to do whole bunch of family related things, meet with friends ex gfs my musician mates and then start packing!
If I do play some games, I will surely post a graph here. Expect end of the month graph before I leave for Montenegro on Sunday or something like that.
Hey Mate
I've only played 1000 games since July, there is good decent profit in HU Hypers.
But i'm mostly a cash game player, which is where I make most of my money.
I have a couple of friends that play exclusively HU and they make decent/ steady profit, but for me there is defo more money in cash games.
I love playing HU before a cash session, gets me set for a grind haha or just to chill out.
Normally it's 1 tabling, if I play 2 tables my win rate defo decreases.
Where as with Cash I can play 6/8 tables no problem.
If I was 2 tabling/ grinding HU Hypers (putting in loads of volume) my win rate would be no where near 10%.
Because I play short sharp sessions it usually means i'm fresh for the games/ tilt free)
