Quick question, when do you guys generally leave a table?? I normally go on and say to myself that i'm going to play for an hour n half, i'm thinking of changing it to a certain thing like, if i'm up $3 on a table then i'll leave.

I say this because even though i've pretty much recovered from my disaster start at 5nl when i look at my graph theres clearly spots where if i had left then i would have been up a bit more. Am i concentrating too hard on the here and now?? As i've been writing this that thoughts started to creep into my head lol

It obvs. depends😛.
But in general if im not in a time crunch or anything i dont stop until i feel im geting tired,tilted or the fish are drying up.
Seting stop win/lose marks is a bad idea imo because u could be playing in the juiciest game ever and have a huge edge but still drop below you stop lose mark by beeing on the wrong side of varience a couple of times.
Same goes for if your up alot why would u whant to leave if u still feel u have a edge on the table?

Setting a general stop amount is good though.
Say if you are prone to tilt you might want to say im gonna stop when im down 3 buy ins. Although this probably works better at 10nl+

Not sure if I said that specifically but it's definitely true imo.

Zach, you're so awesome great sayings are thought to be yours even though you are quietly meditating about the absurdity of it all. Pretty sure that's how Buddha and Lao Tseu did it too.

Zachism >>>> Buddhism, imo.

😀
 
Yeah and I'll bet the sayings attributed to me make people more money than the ones attributed to Buddha too 😛.

Actually the quote above was mine. It's easy to tell because it's all basic math and that's all my brain can handle. Had this been an actual Zachvac quote it would have involved at least a little calculus. 🙂
 
hopefully will post the details about strategy posts soon be awesome to get some strategy going on in here.
 
After a poor start to the year ( 10K hands ) mostly playing $20NL FR ( I-poker so $20NL not $25NL ) and dropping 12 BI's, I have decided to basically re-invent my game and intend to grind about 20K-30K hands at $10NL FR.
I know a 12 BI loss doesn't represent any kind of disaster especially over a small sample size of only 10K hands, but tbh it is slowly chipping away at my confidence.
So for that reason I have decided to strip back my game and spend some time at $10NL to try and help boost my confidence and also my BR.

I don't intend to try and play fancy or tricky poker at this level as I doubt very much there would be too much point in doing so.
I plan to play 4 tables at a time FR which I'm very comfortable at and mostly play an ABC type of game.

What I wanted to ask about was if this thread by tenbob from the golden archive would still pretty much hold up 18 months down the road from when he wrote it.

https://www.cardschat.com/f49/how-beat-nl-10-isnt-book-90173/

I know it was just a spur of the moment post from tenbob at the time but it obviously made a lot of sense and had decent tips in it for that level.
I will more than likely play pretty much how he suggested tbh but wondered if 18 months later, I needed to add or eliminate any aspects of his post to my game.

Cheers.

I am so ****ing depressed.
7th consecutive losing session.

Jezus ****ing christ.
 
Enty, take some time out playing poker.... just watch videos and stuff.
 
Taking advice from Jake and trying only weekly BR checks. I will play good poker.
 
I really wish I would've bet this, but I had just took out another player the hand before with a set. So I let it lie and they started betting into me on the turn and I just called hoping both of them would push. Unfortunately, they didn't.

A quote from tenbobs "How to beatnl$10" post.

"Im gonna call nl5 really an non-entity, I got enough out of that level within 1K hands to move to nl10"

This has depressed me, i've just played my first 1k hands at 5nl and i'm no-where near $250 (which is the level i'm moving up to 10nl) infact, i'm only up $2.44 for the whole 1k hands because i went down to -$18 in the first 2 days! I was really happy at dragging myself out of the red but this has depressed me somewhat 🙁

You shouldn't look at it like that.
Tenbob started 5nl with about 1k in bankroll from being succesful at the sngs months before that.

It's perfectly fine to play 5nl until you're comfortable to move up.
If you want to grind until you hit your BRM mark that's all the better.
 
Hey guys, i read a post on here form a while back, i think it was ChuckTs one on micro stakes, but anyways, it says something about a program called AutoHotKey.
I know about macro's and what they do but could anybody explain how they use this at the tables, i'm just starting to slowly add tables now and it would be bad if i was missing out on an easier way to multi-table, i might be just missing the blatantly obvious here so i expect to be laughed at lol

Autohot keys has alot of AHK scripts where basically they help you multi table for example I use pokerstars planner, pokerstars assistant, betpot script and table planner but there are alot available.

These scripts able me to stack tables correctly by positioning them using the F4 or F5 key so they are organised. Also other options like highlight table, auto sit which is where you click your seat and then your buy in etc comes up well it sorts your buy in out automatically and sits you so all you have to do is click on the seat. There is a button to auto sit out on all tables and auto post blinds on every table. Also it auto clicks time bank, these are some of the features of stars planner and assistant.

Betpot script is simply sets your bet sizing for you which you determine. Say you want it 4x pre flop then you have a percentage of the pot size you want the bet to be on each street. All you have to do then is right click on your mouse and it works the amount out for you and then just click on the amount.

you can get them from overcardsDOTcom then the wiki tab I think

I don't have time to look through all of these, but do you know if any of these work with UB? If so, what are the best, say top 3?
 
Ok Guys I think its time we got down to some strategy in this thread and I have scanned back through and assigned some guys some strategy topics to write about. I am currently thinking about what I am going to write but I shall have a look on DC for some topics. I think I may do one on Position.

If you dont like your topic then let me know guys...

Lemlywinks - Maths of set mining and suited connectors
Sindri - Reverse implied odds + implied odds
Enty - Stack to pot ratio
Deltafrost - equity + fold equity
Dwillius -Cbetting
Shrog - pot odds
Steveg - Stealing

Tenbob said he would do a review of 3betting light and wa/wb which would be very good.

Its up to you how complex to make your strategy article but it will be good to get some strategy in this thread GL guys.

Theres only around 50, stop being lazy. I dont know I have never played on UB. If you dont have time to look through them then how do you have time to play poker? These will only improve your game and assist you when playing.
