Samba_SamPa Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Nothing elaborate. Just playing $11 HU SnGs on Stars during January. I played yesterday, winning my first 5, then losing the final 2, which gave me the idea of setting a daily stop profit/loss, so I will be following these rules: Play only $11 HU SnGs Stop if hitting $50 profit on any day or Stop if hitting $30 loss on any day There's 25 days left in the month, my target is to make $500 profit. That is all :) :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
averick Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge Sounds like a solid plan. Good luck!:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge Cheers :ok Played 11 this morning, and have went 7-4, could feel myself getting tilty in the final one against the same person who had beaten me in the previous one when a crazy call was rewarded. They had moved into a 2.2k to 800 chip lead in the final one too with pretty dumb play, and I was starting to steam (even though I know in the long run I will profit for playing these sort of player :) lol). Anyway, came back and won the final one, and am stopping it there for now. May play this evening, but if not I am in profit for Day 1 - important for morale perhaps, mine anyway. Day 1 +$27.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge Right, definitely stopping for the day now. I've played another 8, going 5-3 which makes it 12-7 for the day, and a profit of $45.50. Close enough to $50 for me. Day 1 +$45.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldric Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge Well done...! looks like you really were champing at the bit to play last night.. very sneaky waiting until after midnight :lol. To be honest I am not sure why you have the stop when being up $50, surely when you are winning and confident you want to keep going. How about a rolling stop loss or something... if you get to $50 profit at any time you can keep going unless you give back 2 more buy-ins then call it a day.

Samba_SamPa Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge Cheers guys. Interesting Aldric, will give that some thought - it sounds like common sense. The most important part is the stop-loss obviously, why stop myself if I am winning :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooloovoo Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge [Target +$500, Current +$113.50] Well done so far. I have played my fair share of HUNSG's and the variance is actually not so bad. Ended well in profit but it was too timeconsuming. It is one of the most interesting forms of poker though.

My ROI is just shy of 15% after 65 games. If it is still that after 650 I will be happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got things to do tonight so likely leave it at that for the day.

Samba_SamPa Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge [Target +$500, Current +$151.50] Cheers. Just been looking at my sharkscope graph I have bordered the bit that encompasses this challenge. Previously pointless, sporadic, play with ~325 games played over the course of just over 3 years. Going nowhere. Now, with a focus and some discipline, going in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba_SamPa Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge [Target +$500, Current +$157.00] Just going to stick with the $11.50 ones this month, then will be playing on PokerIdol in Feb, Mar, Apr to get the points for the Vegas competition. Plan is another month at this level in May, and see if I am still going as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldric Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge [Target +$500, Current +$157.00] Going really well mate, 1 losing day out of 6 is excellent :clap You are inspiring me to do something similar but starting at lowest level ($2.14) and building up when each level is beaten... (although need to get some cash together for stars!). I did OK at HU before and won the Billythepunter heads up knockout comp on here in 2010 or 2009 I forget, beating a few regulars along the way... including woodie :ok and GeordieGaz ;) How many buy-ins do people recommend for heads up? Between 20-40? Or min 40bb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Re: Samba's Jan '11 HUSNG Challenge [Target +$500, Current +$157.00] 2-5 today :puke Whereas I played poorly yesterday and came out ahead, I got 'them in' well ahead in 3 of my 5 defeats today. Swingage Day 1 +$45.50 Day 2 +$51.50 Day 3 -$30.00 Day 4 +$26.50 Day 5 +$58.00 Day 6 +$5.50 Day 7 -$36.50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
