[uploaded with ImageShack.us Totally standard variance (its about 5 buy ins behind ev? After about 3,700 hands?) that absolutely every single poker player regularly experiences. Why, what do you make of it? :lol :tongue2 Seriously - you shouldn't worry about the green line at all - keep your yellow line solid and going where it should and everything will be alright on the night....

voiceofjoe Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge Hve you thought about changing site ? I've found stars to be the toughest of the 3-4 sites i move between.... and they always say table selection is key :D My best site profit wise is Boss, although your +Ev line will mean nothing on there as opponents hole cards aren't known for all-ins if you win. The other site I've found fairly profitable is 888/WSOP where the hole cards are known. I also surprisingly found full tilt fairly soft but have taken my money off there until they sort their finances out Although the thread title would have to change :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge I have money in 888 but I am kind of stubborn and I am determined to keep going on stars until I either go bust or win a car. :lol And according to Gaf I am doing well with my +EV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge pokerstars must hate me at the moment. My EV still on the way up and my profit still going the wrong way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge Honestly Staffy - ignore your profit - all you should care about is your all in ev - your winnings and EV WILL end up in the same place (and that place will more likely be where your EV is at any point in time, than where your winnings are) - it may take months/tens of thousands of hands - but it WILL happen.

staffy Posted June 5, 2011 Author Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge I think the challenge might be over soon. I cant win a hand at the moment. Only have a few $ left and once its gone that it. Cant deposit into stars so will quit poker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge Not if you run out of money. Well yes, and that is why anyone has a good chance of going bust if their bankroll is insufficent for the stakes they are playing - no matter how good they are (that's a general comment - I'm not sure what stakes you're playing at the moment, or what your bankroll is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have around $18 in my stars account. I was playing 5c games I am now dropping back to 2c games to see if I can turn things around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 7, 2011 Author Share Posted June 7, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars cash challenge I have decided to listen to people and I am going to switch to 888. I have $70 in my account. I am going to play the 2c table for now just to have a look. I will play just 1 table at a time and also carry on playing 1 table on stars.

staffy Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars/888 cash challenge Started playing 5c.10c games on stars again. Mainly through boredom of playing the lower stakes. If I go bust then hey ho. Still only playing one table and not playing half as often as before which seems to help. So far going quite well. Up to $40 again + I have a free $10 waiting for me when I want it. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars/888 cash challenge Nice going Staffy :ok Any chance of one graph with no filters? (or just filtered by a stake level, but no date filters) - I want to see how your ev is looking overall in comparison to your profit, but all your sample sizes are pretty small, and we dont seem to be getting any bigger samples..... (if you constantly look at small samples, then there will be a wide differential between actual profit and ev). Best to show it in terms of Big Blinds instead of USD (Can PT3 do that? So long since I've used it I cannot remember) to avoid the higher stakes having too big an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars/888 cash challenge Gaf I lost the plot a few months ago and deleted all my hands on PT3 so what you are looking at is the complete database. I am not playing that often at the moment so only a few extra hands eaxh time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staffy Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Re: 2011 Stars/888 cash challenge I dont know if you remember a while back I was playing very passive pre flop and then aggressive if I hit post flop. I found it was very succesful at the lower levels. I think the problem is you cant push people off very often at the lower levels. This means it pays off when you do hit a big hand as people still call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
