stpokered Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hi all, have been looking at forum for a long time but only just realised i wasnt registered! Here is my challenge... $20-$5000 on pokerstars playing heads up stts. Plan is to play $5 until bankroll is $100, $10 until bankroll $300, $20 until bankroll $600, $30 until bankroll $2500 and $50 up to the end of the challenge at $5000 profit. Wish me luck!

GaF Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge :welcome to the Lounge :ok To put an image up on PL, you need an image hosting site - something like www.picoodle.com good luck with your challenge :hope One question - when your bankroll reaches $100, you move to $10 - if you lose that $10 game, will you move back down to $5? (IMO the answer HAS to be yes, but not everyone is disciplined enough to do it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpokered Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Hi all, Thanks for welcome! I have decided to do the challenge for various reasons: to improve bankroll management, to see what level (stakes) i can beat, to see whwt level gives me the best ROI and net profit per game; to improve my heads up stt skills I have allowed myself 5 net losses at the new higher level until i move down to the previous level, I tried to upload image from the first graph i copied and pasted but it is very small! Here is the most up to date graph.. Username<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />Games PlayedAv. ProfitAv. StakeAv.

tomahawk1984 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Alright mate. Your stats are very impressive. I'm going to get back on the SNG's next month. How many games do you think you would play in a normal week (with no exams and stuff like that)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpokered Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Tyvm! If you want any advice with stts don't hesitate to ask. I play about 30 hu stts a week (at the $30 level i just play 2 simultaneoulsy) and about 15-40mtts a week during term-time, then during holidays play much much more (8 hours every day!)

Thats a lot of volume during the holidays. What do you study? Are you going to give poker a proper go when you finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawk1984 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Alright mate. Started playing some hu sng's and doing pretty well. What criteria do you use for moving up? I was thinking of playing 500 (for example, not set in stone) games and if I can get my ITM > 60% then I'll move up. If not play another 500 and try and get ITM > 60% for that set. 60% give me and ROI of 14%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpokered Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Hi mate, I'm studying medicine so i wont take poker seriously when i finish. Yes i do play a lot during the holidays.. i quit my hoiday job cos found found poker to be more profitable (and much more fun!). I would suggest recording your cash game profit and stt hu profit separately. Instead of moving up after 500 games if your ROI is 14%, i would suggest moving up when you have 40 buy ins to the next level (eg play $3 until hu stt bankroll $120, then play $5 until bankroll $200, etc.) And when you move up a level move back down for a few games if you lose the first two games at the next level.. In this case build up your bankroll until you yet again have 40 buy ins to next level, then once again try moving up. I use a similar bankroll bankroll management myself for hu stts. One further piece of advice is to avoid pokerstars deep stack hu stts at the $30+ level... There are loads of pros waiting for customers All the best Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawk1984 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Medicine, tough work. I considered it but found out I was completely useless at chemistry! Think I'll settle for being a Phd doctor. What are you going to specialise in? 40 buy ins sounds good. I'm recording my sng profit but using a combined bankroll at the moment, out of necessity at the moment. When I get to €200 profit I'll split it up and have two separate pots. I think $30 sngs are a little way off yet but thanks for the heads up :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpokered Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Re: stpokered pokerstars challenge Sorry for lack of updates. I found hu cash to be far more profitable ,but whilst i was waiting for cashout on other site i decided to play a few hu sngs on pokerstars. Here are stats now UsernameGames PlayedAv. ProfitAv. StakeAv. ROITotal ProfitFormAbility /100NetworkFilterstpokeredhttp://www.sharkscope.com/images/icons/shark.gif">1,444$3 $26 14%$4,583 Hot82PokerStarsSNG Only x I have forgotten how to upload graph but anyone looking at graph can see one big downswing at about 1100 games played. I decided to change my game in preparation for playing $50 hu games. I increased my pre flop aggression but as you can see by my results this certainly did not work out well.(possibly i c-bet way too many flops after reraising pre) I decided after a 1k downswing to stop playing the $50 hu stts but instead to grind out the $30 hu games. Have learnt a few things from challenge so far.... it is vital to play games and levels you are 100% confident at; when playing hu games concentration is vital (no tv at same time!); and most importantly if you move up levels and it doesnt succeed move back down and reanalyse your play. Hopefully i will complete the challenge soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
