Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[Scottish Dave]

What happened to premium hands only though?

You have been unlucky there.

77 on the button is premium to me when they all fold and i hit the flop like that.

im getting some bad beats tonight, need to win this last to break even lol

ill take a second tho for £5 loss

[Scottish Dave]

Hmmm, well my "experiment" into these low stt's is going really well! only 1 bubble in 9 stt's and all the rest 1st or 2nd's 

That article link that was posted earlier is excelland Dave, I've tried to use it to the letter for the last 5 games and I HIGHLY rate it, I've double my BR on stars today alone! (ok, it wasn't that large to begin with, but you get my point)

Keep trying, it will come good

i saw that earlier, but havent seen it yet, ill go read it

[Scottish Dave]

ok i got a second place...i should have won it tho, i made last three when i had 6500 chips v matey1's 1500, and matey2's 2000 chips

with Blinds of...get this 500/1000!!!!! did someone say crap shoot...obviously i love this but not when they are hitting straights with 5 7 against my AJ!

still took £15 tho so:

£22 invested
£15 returned

=

Loss of £7

yesterday i made £28 profit and today £7 loss, thats £21 profit since experimant began.

see yaul Tomorrow

Dave where are you playing these stts? on betfair?....i might not be the best person to give u advice as ive been known to to call ur all ins with qq v aa and win  anyway....if ur looking for the best structure for stts it has to be tribeca extended games. i know ur not a fan of the software and i dont like it that much either but go where the money is right? these are all i play on the net now.

youve probably had this same advice on this thread already, for the first 2 levels only play premium hands , only play small pairs from late and and try an catch a set, in every game at least 4 players will be out bythe end of level 2 ($10-50 ) if you double up by then ur pretty much in the money , theres so much play cos the blinds are so low and everyone has big stacks when theres 4-5 left and it never turns into a crap shoot. well worth a look

cheers mate...one thing i never netioned in my slaughter of Tribecca, is that i actually do think the Extended STT are worth a game, the structure is ideal that it doesnt become a crap shoot, as you say.

2 other sites that i feel have a great structured STT on them are:

A/ Ultimate Bet - i hear lots of great things about there STT, i know Teacake swears by them, but again feel there software is flimsy )one thing about UB i love it how you can 'Fold and Show' your hand if your last to fold, i think thats a great button.

B/ Pokerstars - i feel their structure to their STT's is much like UB's, however sometimes the games tend to drag themselves out due to the structure, as you can have 5 players on 3000+ with blinds of 50/100, also i hate there disconnection clock (love it when you Disconnect personnally lol) but hate the waiting around on the 'Time bank'

i think if i were to move id move to poker stars, however ive always played on Betfair and im the kind of person that hates change, im set in my ways with Betfair, and at the moment dont want to change.

Again im going for the 4 x £5 STT's

first STT i get KK in mid and raise to 120, all fold, then i get AA raist to 100, and get reraised to 210, so i push all in think he has JJ or QQ

yes he has QQ and hit aQ on river, im oot!

Still 3 others to go!

[Scottish Dave]

FFS!

other STT i get KK and raise 120 (4 x BB) i get 1 caller, and guy on Button goeas all in for 700

i reraise to 1000, and other caller also calls!!!!!

i show KK they both show AK, which means only 2 aces left in deck.......does that mean the Ace missed???

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, ace on flop puts me down to 105 chips!

[Scottish Dave]

the STT i was down to 105 chips ive now built up to 1230 after my J9 hit 994 flop, then my Q6 in BB hit a Q J 6 against 3 players!

on other STT tho i got a short stack all in against my JJ, he had QK and hit a K.

so that AA beat by QQ / KK beat by AK / JJ beat by QK
