aldric Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Everyone and their gran is talking about this type of sng format so I am going to have a bash myself. Ive just joined Poker Kings and deposited €50. I will start at €3 level and multitable (4 max initially) see how we go! The aim of this challenge is to see if I can get a bank roll to play the €50 coolers. I would like to have 20 buy ins at that level, so the challenge is to turn my €50 in to €1k.

GaF Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Re: Cooler's If you're multitabling, it's well worth staggering the starts - if you're 4 tabling, I'd go for at least 1 level (8 mins) between each table. Good luck :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck :ok[/quote'] Cheers GAF :ok It is certainly the easiest multitabling I have ever done as there are hardly any decisions to make and having the tables in mini-view I can see all the tables at once. It is going to take a few goes to get used to the format though... I have played 13 so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing mostly the 3 Euro games but I have started on the 5 Euro buy-ins and will play at most 2 of those at a time. I plan to move up to 5 Euro fully when / if I reach a 100E bank.

aldric Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Re: Cooler's I don't think I have ever 'run' so bad having just had AA cracked 3 times in a row (all in preflop). 2 of them happened at exactly the same time! Whenever I was ahead I lost.... This was bad play for a cooler but the 'villain' had gone all in on the previous 2 hands. I was delighted when I saw h is 55.

slapdash Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Cooler's I tried a 10 Euro game and went out first!! :loon They definately look like they will be harder to crack so no more of them till the bank roll is 200 Euros. Just played 2, 10 Euro games which I said I wasn't going to but ive had a drink (:beer) and cashed in both.. :ok I don't want to encourage anybody to play above their bankroll, but I've found a surprising lack of difference in how hard it is to cash at the different levels on Boss. Not that the players play the same, but at the lower levels they're bad but passive (which is not so bad in coolers), and at the higher levels they try to be too clever and aggressive. My current cash rates at different levels (admittedly, apart from €50 these are very small samples, and the majority at €3 were without looking at my cards :D) are: €3: 75% €5: 67% €10: 100% (only 3 of those) €20: 53% €30: 61% €50: 64% €100: 67% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Cooler's I've struggled with the €10 games (small sample) - I think I'm losing on them. I think I'm crushing the €3 and €5 as easily as your numbers (no data to back that up). I think I noticed a definite "step up" at the €10 games :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm crushing the €3 and €5 as easily as your numbers (no data to back that up). I think I noticed a definite "step up" at the €10 games :unsure As I said, at most levels I've played very few, so my figures are definitely statistically insignificant. Here are the figures with number of games added: €3: 75% (8) €5: 67% (9) €10: 100% (3) €20: 53% (15) €30: 61% (23) €50: 64% (205) €100: 67% (39) Maybe the €10-€20 games are harder, and if you play below or above that level it's easy money? :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Cooler's Actually, apart from the "blind" €3 games, most of the under €50 games were a while ago, and most of the €50-€100 games were more recently, so if I've improved over time, then I suppose the figures are not strictly comparable.

Samba_SamPa Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Cooler's It's not working - I'm not feeling any better :tongue2 I'll have to give the €10 games a proper go again :ok Definitely do, imho. I haven't noticed a difference between €10, €20, €30 level, and it is purely a bankroll decision to concentrate on the €10 and €20 ones at the minute.

The question remains though, how long will these be profitable if more people start to understand the format and how they should be playing them. Impressive results :clap The first €10 game I don't think anyone got knocked out until the blinds were 150/300 and that happened to be me!!! I think that game was during the day. As I said earlier I definately think the games at night are much softer and the 2 I played last night were significantly easier..... on one of them 2 people were out with the blinds still on 15/30!! Im on leave this week which is why I am able to play so much, but going to try again this morning but if it is as bad as yesterday I won't be playing much in the mornings any more.

slapdash Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Re: Cooler's Im curious' date=' do you feel that your play changes depending on which level you are playing?[/quote'] Well, as several people have said, players tend to start getting knocked out quicker at the lower levels, so I tend to be more patient before starting to shove. I think that at the higher levels I have to shove more times on average during a game, but I'm less likely to get called each time I shove. But I don't really do that because of the level, but because of the way people are playing: sometimes they play like that at €50 (in fact, my fastest ever cash was at €50: over before the end of the 25/50 blind level).
