Scottish Dave's Bankroll Experiment

[vegaslover]

Those beats are just unlucky Dave, can't help that, but absolutely make sure it doesn't make you start chasing with cards you should really be folding. Them losing runs in STT quickly turn into winning runs.

I also agree with all been said re playing tight. Absolutely vital in STT for early levels. No point being over agressive for small pots. Leave the aggressive for when money is worth stealing. Playing tight early, and only being in pots with premium hands gives that tight image that you exploit near the bubble, this is where you accumulate chips.

Good luck, i'm glad to see your giving it a go.

came third in STT 3 winning £10

and came in on the bubble in the 4th when i tried to represent the 10 on a 4 10 10 flop, only for him to have 10J lol

not a good night :

4 x £5+0.50 = £22 invested
1x 3rd place = £10

-£12 for the night

Day1(+£28) Day2(- £7) Day3(- £12) = +£9 profit in total

[Scottish Dave]

tried again:

STT1 - 7th
STT2 - 7th
STT3 - Bubble 4th
STT4 - 3rd - £10

£22 in - £10 out = -£12

(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) = -£3 loss for the trip

[Scottish Dave]

Damn it.....

played usual 4x £5+0.50 STT = £22

STT1 - 5th when i got in in with top pair versus open ended strt draw and flush draw, which hit!
STT2 - 4th TT v KK
STT3 - 2nd - for £15
STT4 - 2nd - for £15 - i made it to heads up with 9,100 to his 900 chips and he won every hand with 4 5/7 9 etc etc to win it!!!

£22 invested
£30 returned
=
+£8 profit


(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) (+£8) = +£5 for the trip

[Scottish Dave]

getting bigger:

4x £5+0.50 STT = £22

STT1 - 7th, with a flop i moved all in with , and was called by
STT2 - 5th, A9 short stacked v 44
STT3 - 2nd - for £15
STT4 - 1st - for £25 - won a three way all-in pot in the first level with QQ v 88 v AK on a Q8A flop!!!! - never looked back

£22 invested
£40 returned
=
+£18 profit


(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) (+£8) (+£18) = +£23 for the trip

[vegaslover]

keep it going Dave
See, I know it's slow but that profit level is slowly rising!!

[Scottish Dave]

Ive decided im better to take my results off of the forum so as not to bore folk on here everyday, i did get a 1st and 2nd from this mornings 4 STT's - so im up to +£41 profit.

I will now bid farewell to the forum, from the experiment, and will take the experiment to www.pokercharts.com

thanks again

Dave

[Robert HM]

I was not bored at all, keep posting if you want.

[Ginger]

Yeah, I like reading it too, makes me feel like i'm not the only player rebuilding lol

Keep it going Dave 

[Scottish Dave]

You twisted my arm.

My first Blank (4 STT's with £0 return) of the experiment was this morning, but i managed to get it back tonight:

This morning:

STT1 - 6th
STT2 - 4th - Major hand was AQ v A7 and he hit Quad 7's lol
STT3 - 5th - various beats
STT4 - cant remember where i came, but wasnt good lol

This evening:

i was cruising on all 4 games, i really fancie i could clean sweep it, but 2 bubbles fumbled the Dream:

STT1 - Bubbled - AJ v AQ, then 77 v QK with K on turn.
STT2 - 1st - was up and down when 4 handed, but with blinds 200/400, i stole my way to victory, Man people play so so tight when 3 or 4 players left!
STT3 - Bubbled - Forgot the major hand, but i was probably ahead going in lol
STT4 - 1st - doubled up first level, then trebled soon after, i was CL all the way to end.

so:

(+£28) (-£7) (-£12) (-£12) (+£8) (+£18) (+£18) (-£22) (+£28) = +£47 for the trip

after a dodgy start with a few reds, i seem to be getting into the swing.

I know this is premature, seeing as im only at +£47 profit, but we all need goals right? - so i ask, im currently playing £5 STT'd (4 at a time = £22), but at what Profit level should i prepare to move up levels (next level being 4 x £10 STT's = £44) - i was thinking maybe around the +£500 Profit mark?

[Robert HM]

Perhaps most would say that would be too early to move up.

[Wardonkey]

That seems reasonable, but you should be prepared to move down again if you lost £100 or so...

[Bongo]

You could always try tank's pyramid as well?

[Ironside]

500 seems about right its 100x the buy in

Interesting Dave, very interesting.   Keep the posts coming mate.   

  Is that pokercharts site any good?    I was thinking about looking at it, but I am a member of almost every site on the internet already.  The only sites that I haven't joined yet is "Flamenco Dancing For Amateurs" and "The Polish Dentistry Appreciation Society".  I couldn't find the web sites to join those two.

I am going to have a look at the £5 STT on BetFair later today
