upgrade to w10 :p

ye the variance is crazy .. 

but it's stupid in a way that unibet and all the other platform try to boost hexas or spins so much..

almost all the casino gamblers are directed to play this when they try to play some poker..

tbh even the variance is crazy and you need to be a mental rock to keep on playing your a game during swings and sessions, the momentum is going to those games.

 

i haven't been playing the last days because i really am trying to decide what i should do because i might try a hexa grind but many things hold me back..
First i will sum up all the pro's and contra's i could think about and in the second part of this blog post i will give some examples what i expect..

hexa:

pro:

• the momentum is going away from sng's to this type of sngs.
• more promo's.
• more scalable on higher stakes, more players mid stakes.
• when you put in high volume on low/mid stakes you get good rakeback.
• more volume = bigger players pool.
• more casino gamblers that want to play this game.

contra:

• massive variance, +1k games swings.
• the skill edge is smaller.
• ~3% more rake per game compared to 5man sng.
• you need to be mentally in shape to handle those games.

 

sng

pro:

• one of the best ways for a steady bankroll building.
• less chance on big up or down swings.
• you can build a bigger edge compared to other players.
• less rake.
• mentally better to keep playing your a game during the session.

contra:

• almost no rakeback.
• challenges instead of challenge points per entry.
• momentum is going down for sng player pool.
• almost no and no mid / high stakes action.
• less promo's except some king of flips, santa, wheel of fortune
• can be boring after a while (i had problems keeping my motivation around +-500 games at my 1k grind)

 

second part of the post..
i have tried to make a calculation to see what the results can be per stake per game..
and my conclussion is that if you play hexa's you need to do it for the rakeback, but only low or mid stakes (at micro it's still almost no rakeback)
in this test i made some charts where you have 3,5% Roi:

the above line is roi 3,5% ALSO THIS LINE IS NOT STRAIGHT IN REAL GAMES and it will be more a downsing and then a big win and downsing or breakeven again followed by another big upswing game, ... , it's to show the rakeback compared to 3,5% roi.
€1 hexa

€2 hexa

€5 hexapro

€10

 

€25 --> after the same volume of games your rakeback is higher then 3,5% roi.

i know it's almost surealistic to play 20k hexas at 25 buyin, but it's just to show that when you would go play hexas and skale the volume and stake up the grind is not for the lottery anymore but for the rakeback you get. ofc by the time you did grind your way up to this stake you have no emotions anymore i think ...... ^^

 

 

when i do the same rakeback calculation for sng's it's almost no rakeback, which is normal because you pay less rake, play less volume in sngs, you get your winnings not from rake but from real roi % on the tables.

 

3rd section
a estimation what the max you can grind in 3 months is in my opinion 

sngs 

* did not calculate 25eu sng's because in my opinion you can't play 5k games €25 5max on the site because of player pool ammount.

 

 

 

conclusion

after doing the pro's and con's + estimating every graph ( i also did possible outcomes in my graphs to see best case, worst case,.. which i didn't mention with graphs or numbers in the text above..) i still haven't decided if i am going to keep on being an 5max sng grinder or will transition into hexas..
Also their are still headsup sngs which are scalable and are also an option..,  i know some really good courses that i have acces to if i want thx to a mate.. for all the 3 options that i would choose to specialize in.. (such as bestpokercoaching spin & go course but also raise your edge sng course & another one & upswing poker advacned heads-up mastery, .. (that same mate is telling me to do sngs btw but he plays on a competitors website, not on uni..)

hi, just a quick question

if i win a uk tour package this saturday or next saturday can i still move it to newcastle or isn't this possible because it's almost in the 2 week period before london?

i know for sure that you can use extras for rebuys & addon with the extra tickets.

don't know if it's possible to use for other things, my guess is that it will be possible for other mtt's.

so in your opinion the 10s and 25s are good beatable? :)

how many regs do you see on the 10s?

just in case i can grind it up to those stakes aswell someday (hopefully later this year 10s ^^ )

ye it's crazy what this guy is doing :p streaming the nosebleeds of the sng tournaments :p only hes third day streaming and being on the top views poker. :)

i am sure this guy will boost the player pool in sng's on avg globally.

did check hes twitch yesterday evening and it's really cool to watch.

only if you have a question it's better to ask on hes discord because somethimes he doesn't read chat, prob because of # tables including with being new to twitch streaming.

maybe it's time for a netflix or chill day or study day instead of a poker day and come back after 1 or 2 days?

the moment you lose the discussion  --> personal attack :p

Be careful on the hexas :)

i am no sng icm wizard but knowing the basics tells me that ofter you have situations on the bubble where it is justified to shuve with a wider range.. (ofc not T6s from cu when everyone is 10BB deep or K8o from CO .. but on avg it's ok to shuv wider)
i don't know what BB stacks where on the tables and with what hands bucky did open shuve in those icm spots @WuDu  is talking about but for example if you check some screens bellow it's often ok to shuv it and to fold with.. so maybe @Brocky  & @WuDu  are both correct :-) 

shuv examples

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fold examples

 

 

 

 

ego war ? :p 

Must be crazy to see the difference in skill while multitabling it.

Cant wait to see a blog post when the luck is on your side, now it's already nice profit but then it would explode on that graph I think..

quick reminder, if you don't know what to play and lf a new challenge but trying some things out like me...

hexa's are never a good idea, unless you like variance :)

1st: 35/100
2nd 51/100
3rd 14/100

i would love something like that aswell :)

i think it's a good idea but also.. i think the player pool for sng's is so low already that it's not good to diversify it even more.
i know from older topics that before hexa's their was €50sng's 5man running in the evening etc and since hexa those sng 5man's are already dead +25euro.

but for sure bounty sng's would be fun and i would play them occasionally but i don't think this is a good thing for the normal sng scene which already got smaller after hexa  :)

@SCOBY  always the week after

What would you do in this situation? :geek:

Affraid of:

- check - check;

- allin - fold;

- bet - fold.

If you one table, open hand history fast and fast forward hh to check how aggressive he played the last +-10 hands.

Based on that you can decide to bet or not. But also if he is a decent player he even would fold a straight against a bet but also wouldnt raise a straight so you need to hope he has a flush or full house, on this board it's impossible to bluff so he won't shuve that easy unless he plays super aggro.

 

Best to do is 1 small raise on that spot (200?) and hope he has a hand with equity, if he called 200 then pot is 1300 then on turn again small raise because this board is not a hero call bluff catch board for hem so a shiv is not needed. On river make it something like 330 or 350?

 

And if he reraises you it's easy what to do.:)

completed first 50 games..
But again after playing them i don't feel like grinding them full time .. (i really need to start making some decisions what to start grinding..)
5m sng, 2m sng, mtt, sattelites..  (no cash games)

results are great tho after playing them but still if it's boring for you it keeps you stay away from the tables..

1st: 35/50
