Hi guys,

I'm Gary, most of you probably already know me!

I'm getting into this spirit of this November Marathon promotion, however, I will not be eligible for the prizes.

I don't play a lot of poker myself and I only recently downloaded the Stars mobile app so that I can play a little more. For this challenge I aim to play 250 $1.50 HU Hypers.

To make this successful I need to average 8.3 games per day. This should be very, very doable I think. I have a few more days holidays from my real life job so I am going to try and get a lot of games of the way now

My aim is to show a profit from these 250 games.

Nickname on PokerStars: UPAY4DINNER

Let's do this November!

Headsup has always been an interesting animal. I have never put in a serious volume.
I guess i have a lifetime volume in hu sngs of around 20

Good luck!

HU Hyper ... oooooooh I did that.

GL the variance is huge in those so you need either to run good or to run good or as a last resort a massive volume to be representative. :)

in any case GL Gary

Thanks all.

Been a hectic day today so I didn't manage to get as many games as I'd hope in. Today we beat the volume goal but only by 50% = 12 games.

Results:

Won: 8
Lost: 4
P/L: +$7.92
Hourly: $19.80 (coz it's balla!)
Games played: 12/250

Tonight I will play 10 tournaments (time tournaments and hyper turbos) as the Mrs is out and the babies are in bed.

Good luck at the tables but not vs. me!

Played 2 more HU Hypers in the middle of my tournament run. Won both :heart:

Also managed to profit in the tourneys. Nothing big but welcomed nonetheless. Bricked the first 7 and then had two nice scores in 8 and 9. Beginning to really like timed tournaments.

More HU play tomorrow!

Thank you!

So I've played half already, won't publish the results until I complete. Playing OK, still unsure if I am doing the correct things or not. Running above EV for all that matters after 22 games.

Running into the occasional wizard as well.

Enjoying myself so far and I guess that is half the battle!

Tomorrow I have my usual big First Sunday of the Month tournament schedule lined up. So all in all, I'll have a decent amount of poker played by the weekend. Trouble is I'm back to my RL job on Monday morning and I'm going to lose my good laptop for a few weeks as it needs to be fixed up :(

Have a nice day all.

By the way your good laptop sounds, I shudder to imagine what the bad laptop looks like.

Bitter sweet day at the office. Lost more HU than I won. Will have to get the hand histories from Stars because I played a lot of them on my phone!

Update tomorrow!

Challenge on hold guys, unfortunately.

Had a demoralizing MTT night last night and I don't think I can face PokerStars for a few days!

You need to back and firing by Saturday for the HG Club Championships.

Don't worry Gaz, I'll be gentle.

I may even fold to your 3Bets. :P

Then again maybe I'll 4Bet shove................

Will be at work on Saturday and will be down with my in-laws on Sunday so I will miss this weekend. But will be around for the finale on the Sunday the following week. :(
