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

I guess I'm in more of an exploratory phase atm...

If it were available, I suppose I'd be playing HU.

I'm trying to focus on more HU SnG's right now, but finding it hard to get in any volume, so I'm mixing in cash (FR and 6-max).

My ultimate goal is to situate both my life and bankroll to suit live play. In this sense, it kind of depends on what timeframe we're talking about and at any rate, it'll always be quite uncertain. I just always hope that I'm in the most profitable place at the most profitable time. Wish I could play Omaha and show consistent profit, tbh.

Thanks for asking. That led me down a path that almost never ended. Sorry about that. 😱
 
Two decent scores and sooooo dam close to the really big money. I can feel your pain this is happening to me plenty as well, just cannot get that last bit of luck to get to the FT. What is impressive is the level you are playing and cashing here . 16th from over 1000 entrants at a $109 buy is the sign of quality play well done.

Don't sweat it with tourneys man. I've not cashed a live tourney for 11 straight, and for at least 7 of them I outlasted 80+% of the field. And those are prob even softer than micro MTT's online. That's just how it goes.

How was vacay, btw?

Yea man, tourneys can make you or break you and it certainly sucks when we run deep but dont make it to the end of the rainbow. Oh well, im pretty confident that im gonna make it to the gold this winter. Going to be playing my fair share of tourneys and hope for the best.

On a sidenote, vacay was great. Went to some islands for 20 days and did some swimming partying etc. GOOD TIMES.

Good to be back though . Back to civilization,high speed internet and ZE GRIND. 😛


thnks for asking my man.

AHA, i see what you mean man. Cool cool, thanks for the breakdown. I myself am also just a recreational reg. Sometimes i grind 5 & 10NL and sometimes i play 100+ buy in tourneys. It all depends though.

My bankroll is more variant than the cardiograph of someone having a heart attack.

Thanks for replying benji. good luck and thanks for having subbed.

HEYYYY figaro, yea man i feel like im playing alright and running ok. The fact that alot of people are bad does help alot. Thanks for the kind words man. Hope i can manage to take one of thse down this winter.




In the meantime, i got like 80$ online after yesterdays tourney and am gonna be playing some 5NL just for laughs to see if i can make anything of it.

I know as a fact that i can crush 5NL. The question is: Will i have the patience and self control to not tilt.

I will be posting spots here and results of any tourney that i run deep in.


Thanks for still being subbed fellas. Been gone for a while now and am glad to be back.
 
just for laughs

Unlucky for not making the final table, I know how frustrating that is. Keep going though man you'll get a big score soon.

thnks MM. come jump into a 10NL deep table. im playing right now.
 
Actually I went up to 50NL with 68BI and hit some really bad variance. But I also identified some weaknesses in my game.

Then I withdrew a large chunk of my BR (left myself around 800$ + around 120 T$) and am these days mostly working on the database, the plan is to start back from 5NL Zoom while working out the problems and then put in the volume at each level to climb back to 50NLZ or at least 25NLZ by New Year 😛

I think this is doable and since I have no chance to achieve Supernova this year in any case I lose nothing.

It is good to see you back and ready to make some noise 😀
 
Well 2 reasons:
1) I want to stick to 100BI rule, basically I just need to earn around 20BI at 5NL before moving to 10NL etc.
2) I want to experiment a bit with some of my play and doing it while rebuilding seems safe.

But lets focus on vinyl, he is the star here 🙂

Aha, i see what your saying LD. Good luck with the 5NL grind man. Your surely gonna crush. when are you planning on starting if you havent already? Maybe i see you at the tables.😛
 
total donk question:

trying to reorganize my HUD cause i re-installed it and its back to default but:

Whats the name of Total fold to 3bet on HM2 and under what category is it?

i cant seem to find it. anyone know?

i looked under 3bet but i can only find total 3bet but cant find total fold to 3bet.
 
I play sporadically these days, in breaks from the DB I actually mostly sweated Draza and we were doing that on Full Tilt. I also played chess last Sunday and today so those weekends were taken.

HUD - You are looking at the wrong category - look under "vs 3bet". I advise saving your HUD (Export) and putting it somewhere safe.

^^^^^Do we like double barreling here as a better line? I decided to check call so that noone jams with a set or anything and then im left with a sighfold. I feel that by c/c here, i can get to see a cheaper river. thoughts?


also when he bets1.62, is it better that i jam myself or is calling fine?
 
Hey Vinnie interesting hand.
I'm not sure about the cbet actually, oop against two callers on a flop that doesn't sit well with UTG opening range and does sit well with hands thatc all against an utg opening.
So now on the turn you pick up a double gutter and flush draw for 17 outs. Maybe a few less as you don't want the board to pair here with the 7 or 9 of hearts.
I think you're right check call here as there is a good chance you are up against a set. If the straight comes you will have all the implied odds and should probably get the stack of a set. The flush won 'tbe the nuts but will be bac kdoor and you really only have to worry about the bigger flush . Ifwe double barrel we might get rid of some mid pairs and other draws..Its close but like you said you have equity but not enough to call a turn shove so why risk it. Interested to see what our regs think.

yes thank figaro. thought so myself. I know the cbet is not a good idea VS 2 villains but i still went for it for some reason. The reason i asked is because i get the feeling that some people would advocate barreling turn here to not leave initiative in the hand so i wanted to ask if c/c is better than b/f>c
 
Agree, cbet is too optimistic. Turn seems OK. You can rep the King but again, OOP vs 2 people it would have to be large to make them even think about folding.
 
Man don't worry about busting so close to FT's or not hitting the money. Pretty normal and I'm sure I've gone like over 100 tournaments before without a single cash and had so so many final 3 tables and busted before the FT I've lost count.

Just make sure when you do make those FT's, you hit that top 3 spot more times than bust early 😉

AMEN. i hear you Ram. Thing is ,i dont multitable tourneys. I single table them most of the time which in my opinion adds to the bitterness cause im like 100% focused on it and its like a slap in the face when i bust whereas if i was multitabling, i wouldnt even notice if i lost one and was doing well in the other.

Overall I get what you mean man and thanks for the tips. Not crying over it or anything since im quite pleased with the results. Hope i can bink one sooner than later though.🙂
 
Definitely cbetting and definitely bombing turn. As the PFR you're going to get a ton of credit taking this line you're getting shoved on almost never. I think you win a ton more pots on the turn where you wouldn't have improved to make up for the times you get shoved on and have to fold (although do you? Guess it's a math problem I'm lazy).

That is a bad board to cbet OOP vs 2 players. What is the rationale?

We have a gutter, two overs, and a backdoor flushdraw, plus a ton of good barrel cards.
