    id like to get platnium again but i can't see myself playing cash too much this month, just dosent appeal to me so...

    1. Play 250 $12 45 man turbos on stars and be in profit.


    See alot of regulars in the 180s also have a few of these open aswel so gonna give them a go.


    2. become more aggressive in mtts with a 30bb stack.

    i usually nit up and end up waiting til i have 20bb and then waiting for a reship hand.

    1. Play 250 $12 45 man turbos on stars and be in profit.
    How have you got on with these? I found them far too random. They are a massive crapshoot on the bubble. I played a bunch of the $6 versions and they were just as bad. The structure is awful and you'd need a massive roll to show a profit in these. I did about 30 buy-ins between wild swings before giving up. The only way to win one is to go on a massive heater at just the right time, IMO. I gave up on them when my roll was nearly busted, and I won't be going back.

    The 180-mans are better, but still very random. And again you need a run of luck at just the right time to get a decent cash in them, which means if it doesn't happen you need a massive roll. I think ~150 buyins would be needed, and that would be better off invested elsewhere.

    I like the $11 normal 180-mans, but they take an age to fill up. The $16 18-mans are ok, but the standard is way, way higher than the $6.50s. It's much harder to FT these and definitely harder to cash. If only there was a $10-$12 version of these. I might email stars and request one. You never know, they might do it.

    Could you let me know if you find a suitable game?

    Problem is, you probably have most of your "sex" basking in the glow an an lcd too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,454 ✭✭✭TripleAce


    Play at least 100 MTT of which at least 50 with buy in 100$ + online and make at least 3k profit.

    Play 3 MTT live and have fun.

    Play much less SNG as they are not much fun and could be using that time in a better way than griding.


  • Registered Users Posts: 17 Brian_N


    1. Not to play anymore MTTs (especially ones I'm not rolled for:o)
    2. Make enough money at 10NL and 10PLO to move up in september.
    3. Buy some tracking software by the end of the month.
    4. Clear my full tilt deposit bonus.

    i havent put any volume in them at all really i just want to see if i am +ev in them to a point where i could run them beside the 180s which are great

    i will let you know how i get on in the 45s

    i done up a spreadsheet for keeping track of them if you (or anyone else) want me t send u a blank 1 with the formulas in it for this or the 180s let me know.

    looks like this, the yellow dots are to show the only boxes you have to change

    play zero hands in august


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,139 ✭✭✭Wreck


    1) Pass my tax exams in mid-August :(

    2) Play 5k hands and be in profit.

    3) Play live at least once.

    Again not concentrating on poker too much this month as exams are the priority. Once they're done though I plan to ease myself back into the grind.

    My goals:
    - Get Omaha manager installed and learn how to use it
    - Play 2500 hands at $25PLO

    Nice and simple to start off with or at least it would be if i could figure out how to install Omaha manager without putting my fist through the screen in frustration.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 752 ✭✭✭JimmyCrackCorn!


    1. Read More (still dont know near enough)
    2. Try to play solidly and stay breaking even
    4. Buy Holdem Manager
    5. Move to another network
    6. Write an app to port Had historys from Pkr to a holdemManager friendly format
    7. Use the theory section more.
    (My last attempt at more agressive play ment i had to make up 5$)


    July first half was an epic loss loosing 50% of a 60 Usd buy in.

    Last 3 weeks i was breaking even so there is progress but need to play more hands to be sure.
