*****Vinyl's GonnaCrushDAmicros 6max thread******

I am not saying this is ideal but my FR open raise ranges are:

EP = 11%
MP = 15%
CO = 30%
BTN = 45%

SB and BB depend on the HUD stats of my opponents.

In 6-max I keep it pretty close to this but drop the EP stuff (since number of players behind is smaller).
 
Those look pretty reasonable as a super-rough estimate without going into each position, LD.

I don't mean to post for Blob without his permission, but I think it's likely he won't post this here, and may not be back on to check really, so I'll just let you guys know. Blob's essentially done with poker. Long story short is that he doesn't want to be grinding it out as hard as he has been, and he's not been able to find a middle ground where the grind isn't as intense. He may play occasionally live and such, but no more online grind, and he probably won't really drop by CC much either.

Wow, thats pretty crappy news. Well if he has better things to do and thats how he feels, then good for him. It will be a loss for the forum though as i think blob is a really cool guy and his help here in the thread was endless. Hope he changes his mind and gets back here.

thnks scourge for update .

Wow, really need to hit u up on skype. not to mention scourge as well because i dont see any resemblance between these stats and mine.

Huge leak spotted here.


thnks so much LD.
 
Just note that these are NOT the same as VPIP or PFR (since in some hands there is a raiser/limper before me). In HM2 this stat is called RFI (= raise first in).
 
It's been a while since i checked this tread, i missed a lot here...

Sorry to see you struggling Vinyl, good thing you hit nice rakeback with platinum edge, hope you be crushing again soon...

Such great info in this last few pages, soon this tread will qualify for golden archive... Keep it alive Vinyl!!!!!

AHHH, hello Drazza. Golden archives? im glad you are obtaining knowledge through the thread but i seriously doubt it will make golden archives as there is nothing golden about my results which is tilting.

But what isn't tilting is the fact that there are so many people here exchanging information. and the best part is that there are good players that are sharing their wisdom with us who are trying to get better.

Its like, you think you have a good overall game going on and all of the sudden you realize after 120K + hands that your positional stats are messed up. that is the kind of stuff im looking for.


havent been posting any hands since im seriously not playing any poker right now .I got like 220$ in my account and dont wanna burn it. Im gonna try and put the pieces of the puzzle together and then sometime next week will be getting back onto the wagon.


thread will definitely be running throughout the year as i dont plan on quitting anytime soon. right now am focusing on plugging some leaks and realizing whats going on at 10NL.


In all honesty its probably just tilt related. Tilt, which is a word that has many definitions is a scary thing.

you have winners tilt. Losers tilt. Fish tilt. anger tilt. and tilt sometimes makes us question our game to the point where we don't know what the difference is between right and wrong and which move we should be making although we might know its the right one only because it didn't work well in a previous spots.

anyways Drazza. will be posting some hands coming next week . In the meantime gonna be watching educational vids and maybe doing some skyping.

Thnks for posting bud.
 
Dont worry about results, the most important result is, as you said few pages back is that you are much better player now than two month ago, plus you have found your major leak and you can work on it, which is priceless!!! you'll rise above this really fast, just need to overcome tilt and shaken confidence and you're good!!!!
 
Yeah definitely gotta include rfi for positional stats, it's pretty much the most important one there is when examining positional preflop stats.
 
Yes, I would also like to see the RFI stats. It does paint a clearer picture. To add to that, who is in the BB will create q different need for your ranges as well. IE fish in blinds, we play more hands, and reg we play less.
 
I remember back in 2012 when I grinded lock poker when they first came out, I legit went on a 2 week 90,000 hand downswing. Always remember to stay mentally tuff. dont be afraid to take time off grinding. Downswings are what make us grinders grinders. Nothing can keep us down V! We learn, adjust, imply and crush!

First of all,lemme say, you rock long bonnng. Second of all, thanks for the motivational post. It meant alot to my sorry ass:bootyshak.


Third of all ,lemmee say that my break is almost over. Just that,,,,, coming this Monday is like the week of easter over here in Greece and everyone leaves the city and goes to their summerhouses or whatever. thats definitely going to be fun since its getting sunny here and we might be swimming in April.

Coming the week after that, im gonna redeposit 200euros( cause the remaining 230$ i had on FTP went for me to play a 215$ FTOPS event in which i didnt cash but we all know how that goes😱.)

as i was saying going to be depositing 200 euros which is 260$ and is also 26 buy ins for 10NL and im gonna take off where i left off. That means -22 buy ins at 10NL.


Goal will be to get those back and then some. Will definitely be back here grinding before the end of April, no doubt.


So........ see everyone soon and am seriously looking forward to getting back here posting and interacting with whomever is still subbed. Peace out playaz.
 
Sound good bro, also dont be ashamed to drop down to nl5 when you do reload and start grinding again. I found over the years when dealing with downsings is dropping down when I reload even just one limit to warm up "our minds" and get back into hand reading and A game grind mode.

Last thing you want to do is start back at nl10 right off the jump be down 3-4 buyins and be on tilt. 😉


See you when your back bud. Us regs aint going nowhere.



Take care bud.
 
Losing a lot on a downswing... The amount could change by jumping down 2 stakes. Lose the same amount of hands but less amount.
 
200 euros which is 260$


actually it is $277.84 don't know where you got the $260 number from

It's close enough isn't it? What a strange thing to pick up on lol
 
What made you decide to play a $215 mtt with your entire roll vinyl? I thought you didn't want to deposit again?
 
Its just that like i got bored of losing at 10NL and decided to take a break. Then when i was on the break i noticed that FTP has some cool FTOPS series going on and they had one starting like in 10mins , so i thought WTF and just registered.


Dont wanna sound ****y or anything but, 200$ aint no big deal. If you look me up on pokerprolabs or whatever , youll see that im down playing tournies more than 2K. Thats mostly from high $ random tournies that i play here and there.

Also alot of the time my friends come over to my house and stake me to play 200$+ buy ins every other day

Never cashed in any but i enjoy playing them . These tourneys obviously have nothing to do with my cash challenge here in the thread and i never post about them as this is a cash thread and its irrelevant.


This thread stopped with me having 230$ which i had from the initial 4$ from feb 4th etc etc bla bla bla.

As soon as im ready to get back on the wagon, ill put that 230$ back online and keep grinding 10NL.


Its simple really. I mean, the gooal of the challenge was to beat the limits. It wasnt to make a living off of poker(at least not yet and esp not at these limits).
