Thanks Teddy, was really sweet. Was a really tough FT, 4 handed went on for an eternity.

4 handed, there was one player limping most hands, would never fold their SB (Im OTB).

Had to basically give up my button! Managed to get a couple of jams through, and the other two players were getting shorter and shorter stacked.

One of them in particular was playing way to tight and eventually jammed 6/7 bigs with 22, and we find QQ.

3 handed, other player, left it a bit late to get involved, jammed K5, sb versus my 99, we held to get to HU 3/1 chip leader against our SB friend above.

Was just a matter of blindin them down.

When it was over, they seemed really chuffed to have won 1k, so good results all round!

Lasted till 2am, I was buzzing haha.

Do you fancy playing some HU hypers sometime Teddy?

I don't really play HU that much nowadays unless it's cash. Would be good to see where i'm at by playing a very good player in yourself.

Boss!

Sounds like it was a slog, but then a main event ft probably should be. Well played. No better feeling in poker than winning an mtt is there.

I'd be up for playing a sesh, but atm im not sure my backers woud be happy with me arranging games with you lol! Im also  planning on battling the 30 $ regs soon to try and get established which will take up tonnes of time.

If / when I leave the stable would be happy to play some games though.

Are you fully focused on mtts now, or do you still hop into good cash games?

Sure the results will keep coming

All the best moving up to the $30 games and beyond. Exciting times.

I have no doubt with your knowledge and time you have spent on HU sit and go's it will only be but a success.

The post you made next door, the strategy guide on HU sit and go's, was truly amazing and a must read for any HU player.

At any point in the future if you were to leave your current backers, and  you still needed staking (to some extent or another) for HU games, i'd be more than  happy to do so. Be it on stars or sky. Hopefully there's some decent coaching going on as part of the staking agreement.

Your ROI on Sky would be significantly better than stars despite the higher rake. You would clean up on Sky. Look forward to hearing how you do at the $30's.

I am focussed on MTT's and really enjoying them, my MTT game has defo came on significantly even since 2 months ago. You just can't beat the feeling of running deep/ taking down a tournie. But i'm still playing a lot of cash - I've earned significantly more from cash than MTTs. The optimal set up seems to be 1 or 2 MTT's alongside a few cash tables and if I go deep I can drop the cash tables.

I was spawny enough to win Friday's Main Event on Sky for about £1750

Had mentioned it over in my staking thread, that's why I never really posted about it in here!

Thanks man.

Yeah the staking involves lots of coaching and group work, which I enjoy as much as anything tbh. The guide next door is a good entry level guide imo, bur ive learned so many new ways of disecting situations I'd rewrite 90% tbh! Crazy the pace of change in games these days.

Will be following the blog with interest, keep crushing kev.

Where is this HU strategy guide? i have always loved a bit of hu, not played much of late though so would be a good read.

[teddybloat]

Its not a general HU guide, but more of a husng one, more particularly hypers (25bb and under)

https://www.skypoker.com/secure/poker/sky_lobby?action=show_static&page=poker_community_forums&plckForumPage=ForumDiscussion&plckDiscussionId=Cat%3a2e4f51cb-c64c-449f-a843-8db9c5fe7283Forum%3a596e7081-fff1-4103-8428-5d4d19736b09Discussion%3a214221db-3b07-41df-a2b3-d909c6821814

Its geared to beginners and people trying out the format. And is a good intro to dealing with some common hyper preflop spots, no more. As I say id tweek  a lot of the advice, but it should improve the roi of people dabbling with them

Husngs are fucking boss btw, good format to improve, esp post flop as we see so many flops and have to play wide ranges.  And a good bankroll builder when you get competent.

Been a sweet month for MTT's, especially the main win:D Managed to win another MTT that night too for a mighty £77! £5.50 200 GTD.

This is my results for Feb to date, won't be playing much now in the rest of Feb, night off to morrow / Football on Thursday, Celtic gonna smash Inter Milan. To easy

If there was any doubt, look at profit 1888, has to be!

And there ends the Winter

New season on the way, but you couldn't tell from the temperature outside!

Strange that's almost 6 months since I was at the last UKPC, time fly's by so quickly. Looking back, it's amazing how different my game is to back then.

Over the winter months I've put a lot of volume in mostly at cash, to much so to be honest. Can't really complain, has been a really good spell and made a very decent profit.

Coming back from the UKPC, it was a kinda low, needed a new challenge - the challenge was £5k profit by Christmas, 4 months to do it. Managed to do it and more, thanks to a great Nov and December helped by the fact tables were golden. I had some coaching too for cash which was awesome and really helped.

When it came to Jan, needed a new challenge (again!) MTT's, just wanted to improve a bit / iron out a few leaks. It was superb recording some MTT sessions and reviewing them, was able to pick up on quite a lot of leaks.

It's all going in the right direction, but for sure over the Spring and Summer going for more quality over quantity/ less online poker.

Will be playing more live cash over the next few months. Can't wait to get stuck into some live play!   

Come on the Summer!

Live Versus Online

Wonder what the perception is of those who play only live poker towards online players.

Reads. Really feel when I start playing live this will be a bit of a weakness. Like online it's really easy, stuff like bet sizing, loads of hands on the vast majority of players.

Also having to keep up with the pot size/ size of bets.

Will also be a bit strange playing 20/30 hands an hour versus 500/600 online.

Punter Saturday

WAs playing a bit on Unibet on Saturday, a few 50nl/100nl (euro) tables was getting really tilted by the fact I couldn't resize the tables/ the overlap, ditched all but the 1 100nl and loaded up a 400nl table(highest ive ever played!)

Bit optimistic felt it might play like the 50/100nl tables! Turned out the standard was quite decent.

Cause I was only playing 2 tables was really able to pick up on stuff certain players were doing.

Didn't run particularly well, but was able to pick up a lot of non show down hands for a nice profit

Live reads are the mostly stuff of films I reckon. There are small things people do like checking with their hands on their cards like they were ready to muck if you bet, but I've never seen anyone blink twice and itch their nose when they have the nuts or any other Teddy KGB like live tells. Bet sizing tells though are usually pretty accurate, bombing the river in small stakes live cash usually means they have it. You can usually just give people a rough profile to get a good idea of how they're playing and adjust to it, because they'll rarely be adjusting to you. Random roulette punter isn't going to be trying to barrel you off top pair and old man with 40bb isn't checkraise bluffing you.

Pot size is something you can roughly keep tabs on by just keeping track of the hand in your head, or just ask the dealer to spread the pot as well so you can estimate how much is in there. In live £1/£1 and £1/£2 though a lot of people just seem to throw conventional bet sizing out the window and will bet £20 into £16.

Some people might try to get one over you if they think you're an 'internet kid' in some weird show of dominance, but most people just seem to be in their own little world playing small stakes cash and there's no real need to overthink it. 1/1 live in some venues is on a par with 0.1/0.2 online. You'll be amazed at some of the hands that'll get shown down, just play your normal game and you'll pile up the cheddar.

Cheers good read, i used to play hypers here and there 5.50-21 but thought the variance was too high so stopped. Great guide though you obviously know your onions, not even sure if we have ever crossed parts on sky (i know you dont play there anymore)

PS- Sorry for hijack Larson

[shipitgood]

Cheers Ransom, not got to the casino yet, but will do!

Defo is a great read YG, Teddy knows his stuff!

Just watched this



Been ages since I've been to Aus, really will need to get back out again.

Truly is an amazing country.

Lived out there for a year when I was 20 in Queensland. It was so laid back, everything was no dramas/ too easy:D

Sun all the time, what a life!

Morning Blonde!

Been on a sick heater at cash since Thursday.

Had just finished a session when this flashed up https://www.unibet.co.uk/promotions/poker-promotions/unibet-open-glasgow-satellites

Total quality they are having this tournament at Parkhead, at a time when a lot of people are heading to vegas.

From Thursday - Sunday I won more than the buy in for this tournie across 2 sites.
