staffy Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $90 profit after 100 games Cheers Trev. totally agree with profit being profit. I had to adjust my game slightly from the $5 games. I feel the $10 games are slightly more passive with more people remaining when the blinds are slightly bigger. I find though that usually the first to act wins the pot even more so that before. Position and first to act is a big factor and you can win more pots by betting big at the right time. I checked out my stats for a few of the games and in most games I only ever see 1 or 2 flops and win most my HU. Most games surprisingly are over in 50 hands so it is clear to see survival is the key with good controlled agression. Hopefully I have mastered the $10 games now and I can go on. I am aiming for total profit of $500 for the $10 games before moving up a level. playing 10 at a time my ROI can be 1% for all i care as eventually i know i will get to where I want to be. And with 31119 FPP's I can enter quite a fwew big tournies soon for free. Onlce I reach the required level that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $90 profit after 100 games at the current ROI I need to play 1308 games to be $500 in profit. Might seem a lot but in theory if you play 44 a day then it would only take a month to achieve. I guess I am looking to achieve it by the end of january but might take longer depends what the ROI does. I am hoping that increases.

AJ Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $164 profit after 200 games I'm really happy for you, hard work is starting to pay off. Heofully we'll be at the $20 tables soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $164 profit after 200 games Thanks AJ. happy where i am at the moment. Wait until I have won $500 at this level then I move up. My aim I guess is to do it under 1000 games so a 5% ish ROI which is lower then you guys are after so must be achievable.

tomahawk1984 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $204 profit after 240 games Hey Staffy, good going on your recent results. Really looks like you are hitting your stride. I have to admit though I am completely oblivious to what a cooler is. Everyone seems to be playing them but the 3 sites I am a memeber of don't do them. What is the structure? From what I can make out from peoples logs 10 people buy in and the top 5 double their money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted December 29, 2008 Author Share Posted December 29, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $204 profit after 240 games Your basically right tom. Half the field double up half the field get nothing. You have to take into acocunt the rake so you need a 55%ish ITM to be profitable. Around 60% is ideal and should make you around a 10% ROI. basic numbers matey I am sure someone else can give you more exact figures. Also depends where you play. Pokerstars has the lowest rake on their turbo games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full Tilt is the only site I'm aware of that dont do them..... Full Tilt, Ladbrokes and Pacific. I'm playing the 6 man STG on Pacific exclusively at the minute and I've had a look on their lobby and can't see them. I haven't logged into Ladbrokes for a while now and I don't remember seeing coolers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Re: Coolers challenge $204 profit after 240 games Ladbrokes definitely do them :ok (though they dont call them coolers). I dont know about Pacific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
