****ity ****. down 50 BI today KK is 0 in 12 at showdown. 4 times on the bubble for chip leads.

brag: still have 104% roi

edit: I guess this could be a response to both your downswing and my inability to understand how you still have a 104% ROI, lol

im a sicko? nah run good in 180 mans = 180% roi. Run bad = 104% roi.

i wont complain

 

[pat3392]

@Logan Why did you push on the flop with the AA?

 

[Logan2]

@Pat

He bet pot $880, if i just call will have only $770 left, he will go all the way anyway so i better push now that still can be ahead, after he bet pot i knew that probably he hit top pair, if he already hit 2 pairs or a str8 good for him. It was same dice that push with midle pair last hand, K7vs KJ hand, so i can´t let go. (why will with overpair).

 

[cardplayer52]

Don't fool around on the bubble with strong hands. Never limp in w/KK. Unless you complete the SB and know the BB will shove ATC.

oh I didn't see he bet pot. I thought you opened pushed for 1 pot size bet, fairo

Think in shove pre (11bbs) but don´t want to make fold around, so decide to limp-push, should raise-push but at the time want to be in a hand with bb, wich at the end i get what i want, to push in flop and bb call with worst hand. But yes, you are right, usually don´t do it.


We get to half month how everyone is doing?.

 

[kincy]

Well, haven't played very much lately, focusing some on school (yeah, necessary ) But played one long session and 1 short which didn't really make me rich ($4 or $5 profit total) but my first stellar reward made it all good.
This all means, with the bonus, im up $26 playing 158 games this month.

Not a very good month so far

 

[Logan2]

Month looking good so far. Very pleased with my volume and results, close to November total games, already reach same profit and still half month left, hopely can end the year with a blast.

NOV: 243 games / ROI:10% / ITM:42%
DIC15: 215 games / ROI:13% / ITM: 43%

Total: 458 games / ROI:11.4% / ITM: 42.8%




Happy Holidays to all and good luck in all your games.

 

[Jillychemung]

So far this month, 48 games, ROI %37, ITM %35

 

[MrEpic94]

MrEpic94 328 $3.13 $4 75% $1,026

pretty good month so far.

+ up $750 in live tournaments

Hey all back in town
december goals at mid-month hmmm ?

Hard to say...
As I played on the .fr side of the rooms (mostly PS and a bit of FT) I hardly can have a monster volume so let's say :

1. Play 500 total SNG's (150 until now)
2. Keep crushing their newly introduced 10€ Fifty/ Fifty : basically related to DON (half prize pool goes to the last five players the second half is granted based on the number of chips you've got once the SNG is over).
3. Accumulate enough VPP to unblock my 10K VPP stellar bonus (around 950 needed to date)
4. Accumulate enough VPP to begin next year as a Goldstar (around 1750 needed to date) . depending on my professional schedule I may attempt to be SN next year.
5. Retake my old good habits by coming here more often and post a lot more than I did in my "first life" at CC (keep dreaming I guess )

Well that's all for this month.
Let's see if I can keep my promises.

Sweet, been waiting for these!

Just tried searching them, looks like they are testing it so it should be out within a few days/week. These should be super soft, so definitely worth playing i reckon. Just need to find an optimal strat.

For the time being, I play them mostly as a normal SNG.
Maybe a bit tighter on first levels ( still "looser" than a standard DON) but definitely I keep my push/fold strategy the same as in the STT I used to play.

It seems to work well on PS.fr but the field is really softer than it is on .com. No doubt there will be an adjustment to be done once regs will come with a good knowledge of this game.

 

[WiZZiM]

Yeah well cashing is not as important, so we need to accumulate chips before the bubble.

 

[Lofwyr]

Hrm, I don't get the math for the payout. 9.29 x 5 = 46.45, half the prize pool. 0.23 x 150 = 34.5. Where'd the other $12 in the prize pool go? Or do these things start with 2k chips/player?

 

[BEERM4N]

1. Sitting at around $900 profit so far
2. About 200 complete
3. 1 session complete
4. About 200 FTPs to get before 16th Dec

I guess i can say goodbye to this thread now as my game isn't considered and SNG anymore since Tilt brought out the On Demand trnys. But the trnys are now easier

guess i run pretty good. At ~$1800 for the month so far

 

[Jillychemung]

Been pleased with some of my reads lately just wish a few of them would pay off. At least I was ITM here.

Poker Stars $10+$1 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t300/t600 Blinds + t50 - 4 players

CO: t4623
Hero (BTN): t6200
SB: t19400
BB: t10277

Pre Flop: (t1100) Hero is BTN with K:club: T:club:
CO raises to t4573 all in, Hero raises to t6150 all in, 2 folds
CO shows 9:spade: 3:diamond:
Flop: (t10246) 6:diamond: 9:diamond: J:club: (2 players - 2 are all in)

Turn: (t10246) 9:club: (2 players - 2 are all in)

lolol Desean Jackson.

lolol Desean Jackson.

+99999999

They have shown that run about 3-4 times already lol.

 

[pat3392]

What do you guys reckon is more satisfying:

At FT with 1 M, triple up from 3 consecutive steals. 4th hand BB tanks/calls my shove with A4 when I have AA or

At 25nl, open raise 79o from HJ, BTN/reg calls, flop comes 68T rainbow. There's history of me check-raising instead of c-betting against reg; the hand was never shown so I check-raised him again, he calls, turns a K, I fire again and he shoves over the top with AK $$
