GaF Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Cheers Dave - u2 :hope I've just posted this in VoJs thread : I'm coming to the same conclusion - in spite of what I said before I think I will count it too. No-one else from Team Kent appears available to play tonight, and I am, so it'll probably be me - and I've just realised that if I'm focusing on that, I wont be playing all the other games I was thinking of playing. It looks like the 18k staking may be a little delayed now, but the principal still holds up I'll list everything I play though' date=' in this thread before I start :ok[/quote'] I've had a second thought on this too - the challenge isn't really competitive between the participants - just competitive with ourselves - so I dont view any "honesty" issues - I do have a small number of "secret" aliases that I keep to myself - and I've just realised that I may be playing on them over the month, so may not want to declare any winnings (or losses) - so I'll just post cumulative net daily results.

GaF Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Made some money on the DoN to finish $57.24 up on the night all in :) I found an error in my spreadsheet, so need to reduce my claim for Day 1 to $48.89. Day 2 was not so good - $34.07 down on the day, leaving me $14.82 up overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Day 3 (Yesterday) wasn't much good - didnt play much - just the PL HU League Games and the BTB. €11 ($16.18) down in the BTB (I was out before the add on break). I dont know what the Pokerstars buy in was :unsure Think it was $3+30c - having finished 1-1, that would leave me 60c down. Hopefully I can get on track this evening :hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did finish $12.03 up though :) I spose I'd better get a move on with the Virgin RH now for VRoll :loon Was planning on playing VCMAT, Boyle no lose, Tonyg G Bike RIde tonight - but they're all iPoker arent they? Any thoughts on which offers best added value if I can only play one?

It is "open to all TonyG depositing players" - so I've just deposited £20 ..... no ticket yet though (and live support not answering...)

GaF Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread I'm going to go for the William Hill Side Games Freerolls - http://poker.williamhill.com/tournaments/side-games-freeroll/ My losses (I expect to lose) I consider to be the cost of entry, so will deduct it from my poker stats. If I happen to win, then I will add it on. (I will probably do 5 spins of $5 on Red on roulette) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jquik Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Probs a little bit against the rules mate... but if all you have to do is "stake $25" why not do $12.50 on red and $12.50 on black? ;) Obv. if you hit zero you've done $25 :lol but doing 5 x $5 spins you run the same risk?

Samba_SamPa Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Was just going to suggest going $12 on red and black and $1 on 0. If you expect to lose, then why not make the most you can lose $1, with the chance of an $11 profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share Posted October 5, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread I didn't have enough money in my account :lol :lol (and nothing in Neteller and didnt want to deposit (again :wall) ) I had £5.50 - enough for the super series tomorrow - anyway the roulette was in GBP and I had to clear $25 - didnt know how that worked - seemed to vaguely recall that they did it as $25 = £25 for this promo :unsure - so I thought I'd do 50x bets of 50p on red ..... I got to 47 before I blew my bank - looks like I'll have to deposit again :lol :lol I dont really view it as against the rules - it's negative ev, I've kept it low variance (I.e. it's not a wild gamble to try and increase my bankroll) - it's simply using my poker bankroll to buy into a poker game :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread A $4 profit for me tonight - but the real problem is volume - I'm looking for value added MTTs and that's just stifling me from getting the volume. Tonight I played just 3 games (the 9 I played on the first night just isnt sensible/profitable/feasible) - problem is - when I'm knocked out, I dont want to start up other games - mixing sites and mixing games just isnt good for my game!! I'm starting to think that I may need to forget MTTs and grind out DoNs instead to have any chance :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that I may need to forget MTTs and grind out DoNs instead to have any chance :unsure Do they really need to be Value Added MTT's ? Your looking at an alternative of DoN's - wheres the added value in them :unsure - I can see no problem playing regular MTT's, although the problem I'm finding is the field sizes mean your looking at early morning if you final table - while thats not bad at the Weekends on 'School Nights' its not healthy, or condusive to giving yourself the best chance to cash.

GaF Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread I believe that Value added MTTs are where I have an edge (i.e. a profit!) - I'm not convinced that I have an edge (profit) without value added :unsure I think $1k month on DoN's is obtainable. Lets assume I play Boss €5+50c ($7.35+73c) DoNs (I have played higher, profitably) and I play 3 hours per night during the week and 6 hours per day at the weekend (I've never done that kind of volume over a month, but it seems achievable to me!). I can reasonably comfortably play 10xDoNs an hour (6 tabling). That's about 1220 DoNs a month - I'll get $270 rakeback on that - plus inevitably on that volume some "rake race" winnings, but I'll ignore that in these calculations. So I need $730 from the games - that would mean I need to win 721 from the 1220 games - or 59.01% - definitely a number I can achieve! If we go up to €10+€1 games - then the rakeback is $538.23 and the rest can be made up by an ITM of 687/1220=56.3%. (and just for glceud, $1000 profit from 280 hours "work" is $3.57 per hour ;) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did finish $12.03 up though :) Dont know what stakes you are playing at but the easiest way to get the 100 raked hands is short stacking the full ring bad beat tables. $20 buyin at table, are you allowed that in your bankroll management rules? $3.57 an hour I make at least $5:tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Can I ask what the theory is behind that? Dont you pay higher rake on the bad beat tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread I have a cash game staking from Dave (Cash Game Staking/Coaching Offer ). For the purposes of 2M2K I will count games played in this as if I were playing with my own money - I view the challenge more as about achieving the level of profitability than achieving the cash flow.... I wont do the same with the Betfair 18k, where I will just count my net rewards. The reason I will treat this differently is because it is so far outside of the bankroll rules.

glceud Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Can I ask what the theory is behind that? Dont you pay higher rake on the bad beat tables? Apart from the fact there's never any non bad beat full ring tables at Prima:tongue2 The raked hands have to be raked for 25 cents ie $5 pot and the majority of hands are raked at the bad beat tables( you dont have to be in them) Yes the rake is higher but the standard of play is worse with all the muppets who actually think any suited connector is a potential bad beat and will draw to straight flushes accordingly. Are you allowed short stacking at 5% of bankroll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Re: 2m2k - GaFs Thread Are you allowed short stacking at 5% of bankroll? I dont know :lol :lol :lol To be honest - I havent considered bankroll in any of the games I've played - so could well be in breach :$ I've just been playing to my usual levels.
