w34z3l's 6max walkthrough - (microstakes edition)

Hi! I've decided to give a try to NL cash and at first it was a bit rough. Luckily I've found this series, and here are what first two sessions after watching it looked like for me:

Obviously first one is not as clean and it also ended in "unexpected manner", and I'm not saying that it is my winrate.

But. I certainly started exploiting the field way harder and so far don't get thin value betted successfully nearly as much.

I feel like my game is turned on its' head and now it would be hard for me to not climb upstakes, as long as I just keep playing.

So, I really didn't expect to find concise guide, which would give a good understanding of micro limits, as opposed to some ideas scattered apart from each other. And yet I found it, thanks to author of the series, the magnificient w34z3l. Big thanks mate, I'll remember it!

Struggling at NL10 zoom 6max. Your series seems perfect ! I have been around poker for a while and I can tell you know what are you talking about regarding microstakes ! Wheeeee

Hi, qnb07,
I'm going to guess that you're missing something.

In the first post, in the first spoiler, the first range is:
UTG 55+, ATs+, KTs+, QTs+, J9s+, T9s, 98s, 87s, 76s, 65s, AJo+, KQo

Try this:
 Open Equilab -- I'm using version 1.2.8.0 in case it makes a difference.
 In the first line "UTG" copy the bold part above and paste it into the box.
 click the first button to the right of UTG (or any other line). The "Hand range selection" dialogue should open, with your range highlighted
 In the right hand "Predefined hand ranges" window, click the + sign beside "user-defined ranges"
 Below that, click the "Save" button -- a "Save selected hand range" dialogue should open, and you can give it a name -- call it "UTG RFI" for now. It should now appear in the list on the right
 You can create folders to organise your saved ranges (highly recommended!) and you can also rename and delete them.

Go nuts!
If you have already made some saved ranges and want to save them in case you muck things up, the user-defined ranges are kept in a file called "PreflopUserdefined.ini" in your local appdata folder.
The easiest way to get there is to type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Equilab in the address bar of any Explorer (not Internet Explorer) window.

If any part of that does not work, let me know.

Best of luck,
VS

He weazel,

Any tips on how to make on 'playstyle' reads on villains? Cuz sometimes u have regs with similar HUDstats, but they play their ranges completely different.

Hi, Varune...
Good point!
For those situations, nothing beats notes!

Thanks for the link. I dont have excel and am using Apache Open Office to run the file. Does anyone know how to enable the macros to allow full functionality of this file in open office??

Thanks

Hi guys.

* Hesticus if u are talking about the file that i uploaded and you cant´t download or you dont know what buton to press check the spoiler.

*muel294 I dont work with Open Ofice but i used google for a bit on how to enable macros :
Preferences->Open Office->Security->Macro Security.
Let my know if that works.

Cheers for the help.

Followed your instructions for open office and "unprotected" all the cells as well. It appears this document just straight up doesnt work in open office.

Sigh

Hi guys.

Thanks for that file, I indeed downloaded it as well. However, I was actually mentioning that I am a bit lost with the videos?( I really don't know where to start because he also has videos from different games on the link he posts at the beginning.

Hesticus yes it seems that link is not very helpful. Go here and start from bottom to watch them.

Man, you made my day!

Cheers:f_biggrin:

Solid material for starters

Hey, does it have any use to give here an extensive math calculation (which is not entirely right) about my Risk of Ruin? I am looking someone who is good at math ♦

Hi, Hesticus,
I would be interested in your calculation -- not that I'm particularly good at math, but I'm interested ♠_grin:

Perhaps the best thing would be to start a thread called "Risk of ruin calculation" or similar.
