So a lot of people are bashing this new format and saying how it's not profitable due to high rake, too many recreational players ect.
I tried 5 free $1 BTC games, I made $30.
I then used $40 of my own bankroll, and ran it up to $250.
I have been making a profit on 4/5, or 80% of the BTC games I play in. I estimate about 25 games with 20 cashes. And some of the cashes have been for 6 or 7 times my buyin, in the space of 5 minutes. No other format can offer such high returns so quickly.
My strategy is simple, have a tighter range than average and waste time when you have a guaranteed profit. Most players will shove with about 40% or more of their hands. Basically any face card, anything suited, they will shove with semi-garbage in the early stages. I elect to wait for a top 20% hand such as Q 10 suited, 8-8, J-10, A-5 before I shove or call a shove. Obviously sometimes you will run into a better hand, but a huge majority of the time people will call you with far worse and you will be ahead. Once you double and triple up, you can spend maximum time on each hand whittling down the clock, while obviously still waiting for one of those top 20% hands.
I feel as though the idea of a new game, along with bonuses, is attracting many amateur players to this format, and when they see so many all-ins, they are encouraged to do the same, and you end up with a hell of a lot of equity on the hands you elect to play in.
Overall, i've never had as much success or ROI on any other format, nothing quite as quick and fruitful as Beat The Clock. How much success have you guys had with it? What are your thoughts?
