blonde poker forum

Hi all,

My previous staking request has all the details of my new proposal in it and many people reading this will be familiar already. For those who aren't, it's here http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=43585.0.

The only difference is I'm asking for 80 buy ins at $0.5/1 whereas I used 60 at $0.25/0.50.

Total is $8k.

My live backer wants $3k's worth so that leaves $5k up for grabs. I'll sell in increments of whatever anyone wants to buy.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Cos

I'll take $1k pls m8

Prob the quickest msn ding ever, another 4k gone, 1 left.

ayar, all gone.

tyty

Dude I would like 10%

Can you transfer the original stake pplus any profit over here and lemme know what the difference is please?

norrrrr u said you'd save us backers some

fml

Stuck between a rock and a hard place mate.

Ideally I'd want half the people I know on blonde to have a little piece as I enjoy the encouragement and thread being interactive (and even with like 8 people having a piece the last thread still prob wasn't as interactive as I'd have liked).

I thought the $5k would be enough for all first stakers (and a few more) to buy a piece but when the only other person who I've ever sold action to live told me they wanted the other $4k I felt it was only fair to accept.

Sorry bud - hopefully I can do well in this and put up a bigger one for $1/2 soon.

No worries bud- just lemme know how much I'm owed from the current lot and ship it back to me

Oh and

[ ] GL :D

gimme a ring champ

$5k in 2 mins, nice going Cos, good luck :)

reminds me of how I used to iron out money on blackjack, except the other way round!

thanks mate.

1/100 Flushy
66/1 Other

FYP

Any left?

lol, fraid not Barrence. Soz

Good Luck  !

Can I have $8k on the first option pls?

So sick 8k gone first page.

Run like the sun Cos.

FYP

Thanks mate.

As Blatch says, I'll try and run like GoldenDee and GoldenDum

clap clap, very good

First session to commence shortly!

Can I have 358 million on Flushy please. Sorry but that's all I've got spare. (And I had to borrow that off Blatch!)

How did it go?

 ;D Texts only today bud.

Right sorry guys, the absense of updates have been because of the absense of play! Having pretty much busted my own net I was more than fucked off with online poker but I'm good to go now.

Currently total stake is at $6684.54, following an initial loss of a tad over 13 buy ins altogether.

I think $0.5/1 could well be a harder limit to beat than $0.25c/0.50c, $1/2 and $2/4 just because of the frustrating general style of play at these limits and I think it's where most regs are just grinding out the rakeback.

I think Flushy still owes the stake $1.3kish - I will check on the other thread and pm you. No immediate panic as the rest of the stake is on full tilt following our little mishap with blonde last week and my account has been locked. I have one final piece of I.D to send them and then will get the stake straight back on to blonde for grindaments. I envisage play will begin again at the weekend.

I have a busy period at work with my clients Christmas activity all being planned etc so play will be limited during the week and heavy at weekends.

I'm gonna download a PLO tracker too as I think it'll make the biggest difference at 0.5/1 than any other limit I've played before. When I was playing my own dime on VC for the period before my stake began I rarely played 50/1 at all as I found it the most annoying but now I'm more disciplined in my approach it shouldn't take too long to play the right way.

Cheers for the update Cos. gl this wkend fish

playing a sesh now!

This session is mental.

I've already won a hand with underset making a runner runner flush. I then got one outed with KK on a 373K limped pot where the flop was checked. Other guy had A3 and hit a 3 on the river.

I was initially up a buy in, then I went down nearly 4, now I'm up around 4.5buy ins.

Finished tonights session with a profit of $454.43.

Think I'm gonna continue to play less tables this month.

Total raked: $134

wd fish

Gonna start another small sesh.

Session finished, didn't wanna play too long and ran a bluff at the end where I got correctly hero-called by bottom two on a Q2367, costing me 120bbs.

I flatted a raise pre with KKQ10 and saw a Q23 flop. I called a potsize lead to see a 6 turn. Villain leads for under half pot and I raise. River bricks and I bet 83 into 120 and got called by AA36. Owned.

Still a winning session booked so cant complain.

+$334

up $788 for the weekend and almost at even again.

Total raked: $176.55

Got brutalised today. Just couldn't win.

+$188 for the weekend.

fking hate sundays.

Yday was just horrible. I had one final session in the evening and at one point I was even down $150 for the weekend but got back to level and went to bed.

Today's been a bit more positive and whilst I'm still not even for the month we're $531 closer and I've raked $400.

Ran a bit brutally in today's session. A win is a win but kept geting backdoored. I 3-bet button with 8910J and cut off (raiser) calls, flop comes 789 rainbow and I make a half pot bet and oppo snap pots. Wiiii. He has 3456 and backdoors runner runner hearts.

Marv.

Dunno why I'm doing totals for play since the weekend but I guess phychologically it helps when you're not constantly thinking 'I'm stuck'. Only about 4 buy ins away from being unstuck anyway when we include rb.

+$611 and raked $465.

You're not stuck if you start a new session. It's just previous profit and loss, and in a swingy game like plo you cant really care.


Also after I demolished you at the blonde cash table do you want to be staking me for 5/10 pls ta?

No love for my 4bet bluff with the bare K of spades then?

You ran good against me :(

I know ul - check your pms later on

its ok cos they werent really calling you a fish its only cause the s and d are next to each other that it came out as cod

How did u know about the cod chat?

its obvious someone has called you it in the past lol

Stake now at $7,709 with $550 raked so all in I've pretty much brought us 1 buy in from even after being 13 buy ins down initially.

Haven't really been able to put in the volume I would have liked what with starting up gym again but sussed the style of play now and wouldn't ever expect a losing month at these limits.

Wish I didn't say things like that though....sorry for the bok.

Still gotta send full tilt one more proof which I MUST do this weekend.

Flushman remember that shippage you big goof.

Dropped 11 buy ins on friday and saturday morning, but sunday evening, yday and today gone well and we prob up a lil with rb now.

Will post figures tomorrow.

Sure can stop playing.

I finished playing just before 2am last night.

The 12 buy in loss has been recovered and we are now up around $400ish without including rakeback.

I still haven't sent full tilt the I.Ds they need which is pissing me off but not as much as finding all said I.Ds and taking pics etc and sending them.

Will defo do it this weekend!

Let's try and finish the month with a chunk of profit to chop up. 15 BI is a reasonable target I think.

wp m8, nice recovery

Cheers, not seen u online for a while.

Got more birds than usual on the go?

Nah mate, just tired of you and your ghey jokes so i blocked you on msn. ;-)

Update for Blatch and Flushy: Another decent session last night, $920 total raked and $800 profit for the month.

Update for Amagay: Done my bollocks in this month. Sorry mate it's gg - we're busto. Thanks for the stake, sorry I couldnt have run better.

Cos how many tables do you play at once and are they short handed or full ring?

6-max bud.

At 25c/50c I play 9.

This month after a bad start I decided to play less tables until i got back in the green so I've been playing between 4-6 which I'll prob stick with for the end of the month and then might go back to 9 again.

Pretty comfortable with 9 up to 50/1.

Think 6 at $1/2 is fine.

Then prob 4 any limit after that.

Update for Blatch and Flushy: Frustrating night tonight. Won about $250 in the end but was $700 up after about an hour. I was then $100 down after some brudal coolers.

Key hand was losing a 400bb 3-bet pot. I 3-bet button in position with KQ910 double and button peeled.

Flop was 954 with 2 of my K high suit (greens). I led for just under pot and got called. Turn was a 10 and villain potted, so I quickly and happily got the rest in. His very slim j987 no suits got there on the river. Resisted putting the laptop through the wall though, which was good.

Update for Amatay: Still busto. Might let you have a 10% share out of good will if i take up freerolls.

Haha just had a comedy outdraw. 3-bet pot. My  9d 4d 6c 7c vs  Js Qs Jh  5c

Flop  4s 9s Jd.

All in on flop.

:)

What did you hit?

2 diamonds i would think.

I hope he warned them he needed runner runner lol

I'm going with 5 8...no spades

Surely that is the Gentlemanly thing to do? :)

Obviously but it is Cos we are dealing with here.....

Good point.

For some reason, declaring needing runner runner always gets you a free card as well ;)

LOL you normally have the guy all in by that time ffs.

nah diamonds would have been too straight forward.....

turn .....  3d


river.....  5h

Damn!  I was close.  Called the higher str8 for exactly the reason you said...diamonds too obvious.

Won another coupla buy ins.

$1327 up so far for the month excluding rb.

Total raked is $1037.

How many hours do you grind each session?

how many seesssions a week?

Depends on mood mate. Sometimes I can play a 12 hour session, sometimes I can play 25 minutes.

Sessions per week varies so much that it's pointless trying to give a number.

Basically try to play 20k hands a month I think.

FYP

Just posted the longest fking post I've put on here inc some hands and for some fucking reason I was logged out. wtf I'm never logged out.

I'll have to cliffs notes it:

- Grinded
- Kept grinding.
- Was 11 buy ins down at one point
- [ X ] Played real well. [ X ] Lost 400bb pot to one outer. [  ] tilted.
- Got 7BI back in session just after Chelsea pwned Arsenal.
- [ X ] It's because I decided to make the decisions Didier Drogba would make when playing teh omaha.
- Grinded back a bit and then played 2 MTTs on the stake after ok'ing it with stakers
- Discovered Neil Blatchly suffers from periods.
- Finished 12th/473 in one comp.
- [ X ] Lifetilt. [  ] Entirely happy with my endgame.
- Grinded some more cash.
- Grinded some more.
- Reversed a day where I was down 11BI at peak to a bit under a buy in up.
- Raked $300ish over the weekend.

Totals: Profit: $1386 Raked: $1322

Target for December: 30BI win and $2k rake.

Gonna play the $100 monday night PLO tonight and the blonde league game as well as some cash.

3rd time lucky at this comp pls.

Going to eat Sushi.

Good work Constantine.

got back from dinner last night and played between 10-3.30am, losing 9BI.

As a result I felt like absolute dogshit when I got up for work today and will be grinding most of the day.

[X] beats
[X] brags
[X] variance
[X] cliffs
[X] checkboxes
[X] profit

pretty solid post imo

fk off poker u piece of shit.

about $300 up on the month now after rakeback.

gg 21 BI's?

Id like to know more about Blatch's periods.
Every story I hear about him makes me worry about him a little more.

The durr of the low stakes omahaz

Meant to say without rakeback.

Crap end but $1600 profit on the month is good going bud :)  Keep it up

Can't complain too much considering my play was mostly at the end of the month and I came back twice from being 11 BI down and ending in a profit.

Think you got my total rake confused with the amount of rakeback we're due. If I post on the thread, $1200 raked etc, we get $400 of that back at the end of the month.

I'm gonna take the total for last month as of 3am this morning cos it'll be pretty much impossible to work out otherwise.

Total profit inc rb is $877.

Gonna ship Flushy and Amatay theirs as a whole at the end of the period but will ship yours over as soon as rb is paid into the account which should be within 48 hours.

I make it $164 plus the same from what I owe you from our m/u which is the same amount.

Sound right?

Oh and fook that, I should be hitting $3k profit every month

Finally, just asked Blonde Support how many hands I've played each month and since I had my blonde account in June I haven't played more than 17,000 hands in a single month.

Could be some mileage in a prop bet here - how many hands would people be willing to bet at even money that I wouldn't be able to play in January for example?

Working full time and will not be taking any time off fwiw.

100k hands at even money.

99,992 at even money

99,991

Yeah I make it $329 or £210 whatever you want.

U got my details still?

All yours mate, you should stipulate he need to be in profit at the end of it though.

The bet I had in mind meant several ppl could take action...

Go on then Cos set a line.

I was thinking 65k hands?

I reckon you'd do 65k pretty easily tbh cos!

Why though?

I feel I grind pretty hard now tbh....when I found out I haven't played more than 17k hands in the last 6 months it really surprised me.

You got much time off in December, with Christmas and all that?

65k seems a lot to me, but not sure I want to bet on it as you will spite grind on me.

Not for December as I do have 10 days off over xmas but I don't wanna do the bet for then. Prob be January.

My maths might be wrong but worked out 8 tables 3.5 hours a day (average) would do it comfortably - ok not saying its 'easy' to keep going for full month but sure a sick puppy like yourself could manage this if there was $$ on the table    ....or  i wouldn't bet against you at any rate

I'm presuming you play that many tables... seem to remember reading something you wrote about playng this many... maybe have that wrong?!

I wouldnt like to hear about this if it happened.

Cos says: Hey StuBop guess what I did last night
Stu says: No idea mate had a few beers, binked some poker
Cos says: You know I only drink girls drinks and anyway i spite grinded all up on Longy

hey only I do the fake msn convos and present them as real tyvm

I don't even get it, surely he isn't spite grinding until Jan.

This month has started terribly, made a few horrible hero calls that cost me.

Sometimes I level myself and give opponents credit for being more creative than they are.

It's an annoying habit that I somehow need to get out of, I seem to start every month losing before I dig in and grind out of it.

Will be likely taking a few days off until the weekend now.

Also, Neil and George, can you pm me your blonde usernames?

don't think this has been posted yet which is a shame as you deserve recognition for the great work you're doing supporting our brave soldiers

FML what a weekend.

Saturday began with me making a deposit to play some small MTTs on my own dime. I think I played 7 in total, including one satellite for the $50k GTD.

I busted the first 2 within about 30 mins playing like a complete dick. After a bit of a word with myself I regged for some more.

I won the $20 deepstack for $700 and came 2nd in a small PLO MTT for about $500 and change and then later in the evening won the $5r for $2.4k and change.

I had also ammassed a stack in the 50k GTD and was never in danger. I was one-tabling by this point and checking the lobby but 12 left was taking a while - this comp strangely has no antes at any point. On my 6-handed table it passed round to the button who opened just as the table merged into one, meaning we were on the final and two had gone from the other table. I moved all in with AQhh and my opponent tanked. The longer he took the more confident I was, thinking he's either got AJ/A10 or a pair like 77/88. As his time almost ran out he made the brave call with AK green. FML. Went from 4th to 10th in a hand and exited in 9th for $1k.

Over the course of Saturday night and I did manage to iron it back out for a weekend total of -$200.

Sexy time.

Had a session on the stake last night and finally began winning which obviously didn't really last long. I was up 6 BI at peak and finished up $52 in the end.

I did something rare though and reviewed every hand from the session and made some general notes which probably explains why I've had the worst month in terms of buy ins I've ever had so far. I'm 100% I'll get back to even but it will probably take me until into Jan to do so which is obviously pretty annoying.

Anyway my notes were:

3-bet pots:

3-betting too many hands. Peel in pos with AKJx type hands more. 3-betting with run downs etc I'm still doing well but I've widened my 3-bet range way too much.

3-bet sizing is sloppy. It seems I'm just hitting 'pot' rather than 3-balling small. Normally I 3-bet to like $9 after someone opens to $3.50 but I've been potting to like $12 all the time. Takes away a bit of my edge post I think.

Playing way too many double suited hands. Start folding these dickface!

Playing too many hands from UTG.

You bink 2 tourns and 2nd in another for about 4k and then do the lot the next day?? I thought I was loose with my cash, but am starting to feel a whole lot better about myself!!!... that is ridic mate, surely you got to just stick to the stake for your own sanity?!

Meh I've had more spins from bowls this year between £2k and £4k and subsequent spin downs that I can count.

Once I'm out of live and online makeup I'm gonna give things a good re-think about what I want from poker.

Surely someone else will be thinking for you when you reach this very old age?

FWIW... its not what you want from poker that you need to think about I dont think.. I reckon if it wasn't poker then you could still be in danger of being self destructive with your cash through other means - I think you just need to have a look at yourself and realise you are weak in some areas - I'm not trying to preach to you btw,  I can talk from my own experiences and have become pretty self aware of my own weaknesses - I have spunked large amounts of my bankroll in the past when tilted (not to same levels as you have, but not far off) .. I'm not prepared to give up poker so I make life as easy as possible for myself - I put daily deposit limits on my poker accounts and try not to leave money online -  I know that not doing so can get me into trouble.

I started my staking for different reasons but its been great for my discipline - I've learnt that I respect other peoples money far more than my own for some reason (imagine it the same for you?)

If I didn't do these things I couldn't carry on playing I dont think - Just for same reason I dont go into casinos with cash card these days.

GL anyway.

Great post

Costas Costas Costas, stop being a twat, how many fkin times?? It seems like such a waste of time, effort, money and any poker skills you possess if you keep doin this shit.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^.

Leave him to it!
He knows he's a twat
We know he's a twat
Its not going to stop
I heard he was going to rent a flat with the Kellster

This is why you need to get HEM mate. It makes reviewing sessions really easy and tells you your EV and everything on each street.

Even if you don't use the HUD it's a great tool to help plug leaks in your game.

Ok - I will nay play another session til I have it!

Have fun setting it up "insert evil laugh smiley here"

Srsly tho it's well worth getting and is definitly worth the hassle of setting it up

[ ] 30 minutes is hassle.

[  ] Took me 30 minutes

[  ] Now looking forward to it.

Lost a buy in last night.

I'm officially not playing until I've set this up now. If I do I'm putting $1000 of what I lost back in from my own pocket. Bling blang blaow.

It prob won't take you very long,i'm just not much good at that sorta stuff.Just follow the setup page on hem and it should be pretty simple

if you're setting up the hud just remember that to move stats around your screen you rightclick-drag. neither hem or pt make this clear and people spend forever trying to work it out

cheers

+2 - I pretty much gave up poker as a serious money making excercise as i couldn't stop doing this, still made a profit every year but not nearly as much as it should have been. Eventually just realised i was a twat and probably couldn't stop myself ever, so no point carrying on. Get it sorted.

-1

If you enjoy it keep doing it. It's not like you're borrowing money to be a degen and you're not hurting anyone so have fun while you haven't got any real responsibilities imo.

Grow up and get sensible when you get a bit a bit older and you need to.

To be completely honest, I've been doing it too long and I'm now completely and utterly fed up of it.

Will sooner than jack the whole lot in than keep doing it.

It's not fun though, winning is always great but spunking the lot double quick makes you pretty down on yourself. I did acquire some responsibilities so that definitely played a factor in stopping but wish i'd just been steady before then and taken more from it instead a load what if's.

Weeeeeeeeeee. Reverse psychology ftw!!!!!!!

Well I haven't updated cos I haven't really been playing apart from one day, which was a few small comps on Stu Hopkin's account. Afer running so bad (I guess not playing my best too) I thought it was wise to have a little break. I haven't had a proper rest from poker for a year.

As an aside, full tilt are the most useless shits ever. When they offer me to become a member of team full tilt I'm defo making sure they sort their act out before I accept.

I've now sent all proofs over and waiting for my account to be unlocked. Pls today one time, or do you need longer to look at 2 sheets of fking paper with pictures on and unlock? dfhdhdfhdsdghsdg

Even if it is I won't be playing til after Monte Carlo but over the xmas hols I plan to put in one hell of a grind. My plan is to go back down to $0.25/50 for around a month/month and a half to recoup losses from this month and then start winning mad ones in a better frame of mind.

You tried playing the 25/50 HU games on there? Some good value mate.

Cheers Andy will give em a spin. Never usually see non-regs sitting though.

Live poker is going well for me atm, online has been horrid.

Sorry I haven't updated on the thread - obv everything's been going rotten and I hate it when people get on my back when I'm losing.

Was down a peak of 42/43 buy ins - just over half the stake and so I've dropped down to 25c50c again and now at -37 bi. Stake total on $4317.

Gonna grind it out through Jan and hopefully back to even sometimes in Feb before ...profit.

Blakey - pls can u send my debit card as full tilt require a clearer picture of it on both sides before they unlock my account.

Costas

Finally started playing again. Was 15 further buy ins down at 1 point this weekend, which saw me grind really well the entire time to get back to within 3 buy ins of level. I then won 5 BI tonight for the stake to be at $4534.

Feeling good and got the hunger back.

Will be puttin in a lot of volume from now.

if u were a real grinder ud stick in 60k hands/m minimum. get a work ethic!

gl fella

Last night was crazy stressful.

I got home from work at like 7pm and my mate was due to pick me up at 8.30 to go to the gym. Instead of logging on after my gym session I decided to play for an hour or so and was quickly stuck like 6 buy ins. I get it back to down a buy in and a half and ring my mate and tell him to come now because if I get stuck again I'm not leaving the house. In the 15 minutes before arriving at mine I was stuck 10 buy ins, losing a 600bb pot and an 800bb pot respectively. The bigger of the two was particularly sick as I played the hand really well to get big stacks in on a 8964 rainbbow (holding 671010ds) vs 567J for a 10 to hit the river and me to absolutely obliterate my mouse and almost punch my screen in. . Luckily I diverted my aim and hit a shelf. Meanwhile my mate is in the room and asking the most tilting questions. I gave him my gym card and basically told him as nicely as I could, to fuck off.

(The other I raised AA45 with diamonds) and the flop came AKJ vs two diamonds and we got 300bbs in each. My opponent JJQ10 no diamonds so bit of a cooler really. At this point I was down like 11 or 12 BI.

The games were good though and after a 1 hour break where I played 1 45 manner to let the steam go I fired up the tables again and by 1am I was happy enough I guess. In the green to the tune of $200ish.

I do love the games and software on full tilt though. I expected the PLO to be much harder than on EURO sites but I'm finding the opposite is true atm.

If anyone knows where I can get myself signed up to rakeback on FTP please could they let ding me a pm.

Cheers,

support@rakebackpros.com

They deal with all FTP rakeback and their setting me up at the moment although dont seem to be getting too far too quickly.

Lose 1 buy in?
A downward spiral surely.

Cheers Dr Blakey. Email sent.

It's about time you started writing T instead of 10 in your hand posts, your not 3 anymore.

Nah mate. Tedd Ginn Jr never gave up did he?  He got back in the team, scored 2 100 yard touchdowns from out of position and became the best player the NFL has ever seen.

It's about time me and you took a walk down jabroni drive where I'm gonna lay the smacketh down on your rooody poo corporate candy ass.

Who did what? 10edd Ginn Jr?

You cant get rakeback if you already have an account. FTP hate current customers and think that customer service can be stuff up their arse, god I hate them.

Lol you can def get rakeback if they value you as a good customer, lots of my friends have got it. There's some catch about having a cardrunners membership which means they have to give you it too.

I got rakeback through Rakebackpros having previously signed up without. You definitely can't get it if you originally signed up through an affiliate who doesn't give you rakeback. I didn't think anyone really knew how they managed to decide who to give rakeback to though - hadn't heard the Cardrunners thing, what's that about?

To be fair he was never dropped from the team, just dropped from the top of the WR core, he was always a trusted returner.

Selling best player the NFL has ever seen though, but at least you got the right team...

Full tilt are scum.

I'll just open an account in Papa Papertits name if need be.

misclick pre? or you minraise alot?

Cheeky little pot booster by the look of it.

Makes it a bit easier to get stacks in if you want to.

nah minraise was intentional.

I don't tend to minraise often though

Dear Constantine
DTDGaming would like to welcome you to the world of Dusk Till Dawn!

Account number: ********
User name: PrewPants

Finally rb!!! Just out of curiosity, what would 18,000 points work out to in rake? That's what I've paid since I've been with tilt on the stake (prob 1k of own dime stuff).

Stake now on $3244.

Decent weekend winning about 10 bi last night and this morning.

Pissed off though as I did $950 of my own in.

You lot stake this guy?
Your insane!

My name is Stu,
If I went to the loo,
I’d have to flush my whole body,
Because I’m a giant poo.

I gamble with greek Cos,
In the Mirror,
If I wait just two hours,
He’ll pay for the Chinese dinner.

I won two point seven,
Plus that hundo from greek heaven,
I’m gonna splash all my winnings,
Down at seven eleven.

Thank you pleash.

Well I just won another $77 so in your eye Hopkirk.

What's a standard swing over 1 session for you mate? I'm all over the place like a fking yoyo when I'm 3 tabling..........

I've actually today discovered the world of bluefirepoker and it's incred! Watch some of galfond's videos and it's soon apparent why the guy has made so much money.

My sessions usually go a little like win 3 or 4 buy ins every session for 3 or 4 sessions and then drop 10 in a session. I'm gonna be making some pretty big changes and tightening up my game a lot but 10 buy in swing sessions are kinda standard when I'm 9 tabling (which I haven't done in a while).

I've won 20 buy ins in a session before and I've also lost a similar amount.

BFP is awesome.


I love Giggy's intros and his accent. Makes such a change from boring American voices. I always think about my opponents hair range now rotflmfao.

Galfonds vids are great, esp the hold em one about scare cards not being scare cards. :)up

bfp ftw

Cheers for the bfp advice, signed up and already seen some stuff that will help.

Have you started using a PLO tracker yet? Guess I should be considering it, any to recommend?

BFP is awesome :)


Andy, Hold Em Manager has a PLO addition that i've used and worked great. I really rate HEM over PT (and I started with pt and was loathe to change) now I have I cant say enough good things about HEM. :)up

Is there anywhere that can give me a simple guide to using it and how to interpret the figures? Nothing too heavy preferably.

I think the best thing about omaha is that the figures will matter alot less. In that you are alot more worried about post flop tendencies, whilst in holdem preflop numbers can give you a good indication of the hand selection your opponents are using. I think one of the main benefits would be for analysing your own play going back through hh's and seeing equities and some of the other analysis you can do away from the tables.


There will most likely be some good information on 2+2, HEM forums etc. I know that HEM also has some very good leak finder articles to help you analyse your hold em numbers so maybe there are some that also cover omaha.

For the price of the product I see no reason not to have it imo. :)up

He must have started using one if the following is anything to go by....


Either that or the stake fund is $1k better off than it was......

^^^LOL.

BFP is great btw, already changed 3 or 4 things that seem to be making a big difference, could be a heater though, although I suspect not.

just for japes!

Surely you should show if you're going to go to the effort of doing it!?

Set to muck ?

Yeah I didn't know how to unset lol

Small winning session yday early evening.

Stake now $3373

It's in options about half the way down. gotta be quick, so tilting when you cant get the option set in time for this hand but then you bog off and play other tables raise a hand pre on that table take it down then come back to see you timing down on the muck screen on a normal preflop raise!!! rotflmfao

Stake $3701

bump

Sorry Demps. Gonna start playing soon. Been giving things a shot on full tilt with railtard but I've tried the dtd software and I can just about bear it and the thought of playing cash again.

I think I'll set May 1st as my first day of grinding again.

BUMP
