hebert10 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! I started this a couple of days ago think i'm not doing too badly at the moment I could have played a few hands better though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart(UK) Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! I personally suck at cash tables, tending to lose interest ultra quickly and ending up opening too wide. Much prefer mtt or stt's so I can't personally offer any worthwhile advice on this occasion. Do however wish you every success with your challenge and will follow your progress with interest. Like you say, we've some strong cash players here in the forum, I'm sure some will pop by in due course to offer advice, second opinions & support. Good luck :ok Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck :ok Bart Appreciate the comment Bart cheers. How do you get on with the MTT's and STT's, I prefer to play in tournaments but I personally think i'm better in the cash games as then I can play for as long as I want and i'm not stuck in for the long haul. I seen you had a big win the other week on another thread on here congrats on that aswel! :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to play tourneys but from now on i'm going to stick to cash see how it goes, if things go well maybe chuck in a couple of MTT's.

hebert10 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! Alot of ups and downs tonight, I think i'm overplaying too much at the 0.01/0.02NL stakes, I have to play alot more basic at these low stakes. Have been reading a few posts on micros and found a good one on another site that was very informative. Up to just over 600 hands now on PartyP and just about breaking even, going to try to alter the style of play a little bit and see what happens. Will update in next couple of hours. :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebert10 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! A big downswing in play yesterday managed to pull it back, if anyones interested I can post a few hands from the session. Heres how im currently doing on both stars and PartyP both are going to plan at the moment. PartyP Stars Probably won't play today got a few things to do. Grateful for any comments or tips you have for me, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebert10 Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! Stars 888 PartyP So far altogether i've played just over 6000 hands and i'm pretty much breaking even I definately need to pick this up, just small stupid mistakes i've made so far but as I play more hands I should wipe this out of my game.

hebert10 Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! As i'm playing more I feel i'm starting to beat the 0.01/0.02NL Stakes. I'm going to get to about around 10,000 hands and then decide whether i'm going to move up in stakes or continue on at this level but at the moment i'm doing alot better than i thought I would I didn't really expect to be above break even, along the way i've been trying alot of new things and new plays and reading alot online. Over the last 1000 hands or so I feel i've found a style which suits me at this level and i'm going to use this style for a few more thousand hands and see how it goes. For alot of this challenge I feel I was playing too many tables but now i'm comfortable with the amount. here are the latest tables...

hebert10 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! Heres how i'm doing so far not managed to play much lately so will try get a few small sessions in over next few days... Achieving my goal of beating these limits at the moment but the amount of suckouts and just pure idiots at these stakes is shocking! Going to be more aggressive and try to crush these stakes now soon so I can move up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart(UK) Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! Just read about your Royal Flush, nice one :nana Your graphs suddenly remind me how swingy this can be, pretty solid start though, keep it going :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read about your Royal Flush, nice one :nana Your graphs suddenly remind me how swingy this can be, pretty solid start though, keep it going :ok Cheers Bart :ok The downswings are mainly from getting sucked out on...Should see some of the hands some of these players get to the river with it's unreal. Saw a fish the other day build on a table from $2 to $20 in about an hour from pure luck, hopefuly slowly but surely I can build this roll up and expolit all these fish.

hebert10 Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Re: Quest for profit! Happy with how things are going so far...hoping to build my roll up some more just to be safe with my BRM and then move up to the next limit. I'm finding my styles working alot better than at the start when I was playing TAG, my post flop play is alot better than most players at this level, most will go all the way to a showdown with mid or low pair or sometimes even just a high card :eek Anyway on to more important things here is my graph so far: Any comments welcome :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hebert10 Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot I have updated the thread title here didn't want to just abandon it! so i'm picking it up again with a different aim! all be it still for profit :notworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot Good luck I got bored of the 1/2c limit too , so if feel comfortable you will probably have more patience at 5c/10c and still plenty of fish to catch :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebert10 Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot Couple of days break to have another 'Shot'! Going to bank the $40 odd made off cash and have a go at HU Hyper Sit and gos, this is where I really could go broke! $100 Starting bank, played some last night here's where we stand so far starting with $3.50's: This could get swingy!

Danshot Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot How you finding the Hyper HU I tend to end up turning to them cause I like the immediate rush of action though that can have downward effect if on a bad run still fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hebert10 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot well, take a look at this graph :loon Don't think I could handle the swings of just grinding these all the time! They are pretty fun though. Fair play to people who grind these for a living the swings must be brutal! What kind of stakes do you play with them Dan? Can imagine theres more strategy involved at higher stakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danshot Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Re: Quest for profit! ...Now taking a shot I usually play $3.50 or $7 only play higher when tilting a habit need to change but I mainly play them as fitting in MTTs is sometimes a struggle if try juggle it with anything else that day or they run to late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
