MathrimC

GL everyone.

I'm streaming the tournaments on twitch.tv/mathrimc, so stop by if you want to chat, rail or streamsnipe :Smile:

This is the webcam I have, and it's quite common among streamers: https://www.amazon.de/Logitech-C920-HD-Pro-Webcam-Videogespräche-Videoaufnahmen-Full-HD-Stereo-Mikrofonen/dp/B006A2Q81M


This is the mic I have: https://www.amazon.de/Samson-SAC01UPRO-C01UPRO-USB-Mikrofon/dp/B00HXE4BYW

I think this is the most popular streaming mic: https://www.amazon.de/Blue-Yeti-USB-Mikrofon-Silber/dp/B002VA464S/


Also, having at least 2 screens can be useful for streaming, that way you can always have your streaming software and chat visible on the side. You can find screens for €200 that are good enough as a second monitor.

If you want a new pc, for streaming poker you don't need much in terms of pc hardware. For example this pc is already a lot better than what I currently have, and would even be good enough for streaming a lot of games: https://www.amazon.de/Megaport-Gaming-PC-Vollausstattung-FX-8300-Computer/dp/B00HVB8KB2/

If you buy that pc, cam, mic and two €200 screens, you have a very decent brand new setup for roughly €1200. But to start out, just buy a cam and mic first, install OBS on you current computer and make a test recording to see how it runs. That's how I started, it cost me less than €200.

Good luck this year. I hope you'll have many days on which you won't feel 0 lucky.

I'd be very curious to see you streaming! Which language would you stream in?

I don't know how you came up with $5,000 in equipment, but you can stream with way less than that: $1000 if you need a new pc, $100 for a cam, $100 for a mic. Streaming software is free.

This document has been created by someone from the community some time ago (I think @MathrimC, but am not sure)

It will give you a rough estimation of the target times

That was for the old blind structure.

This is the one for the new blind structure: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q2uwIkAyeeZkZCwNKVoX5rdbKTi0Kb8Px_AomydvtOE/edit?usp=sharing 

You'll have to make a copy to your own google drive to use it. You need to input some data. Use the first box for freezouts, or the second box for rebuys/add-ons, in which case you're going to have to make a guesstimate of how many chips will be in play (I would advice (number of entries) x (starting stack) x 3). 

Nice read so far. Gl in 2018 and hope to meet you again at some Unibet events.

I do have 1 hour where I can play the Freeroll on my phone. I'll just try and bust everyone in 1 hour then 😃

Nice freeroll, great value!

Unfortunately, I can't play because I'm having dinner with friends tonight. Good luck everyone 😃

I would like a ticket please

I would like to give a poker ticket to @ArtyMcFly, for interacting in my journal and sharing his poker strategy knowledge with me.

Move up to where they respect your towers.

Congratulations on the new job!

Thanks for helping to create this fun community and for your endless patiance and excellent help with all our requests, complaints and feedback 😃

See you in Manchester 😃

Thanks a lot for reporting guys. The poker team is looking into it.

@MathrimC, are also talking about the scenario when you late reg. during the add-on break? Or was it a case where you would already be playing the tournament and the add-on option doesn't appear?

I didn't have the problem myself, but Davitsche had it on stream while playing the Odyssey last Sunday. He was regged since the start of the tournament. Supernova runner-up @Hotzonicu suggested reopening the table as a workaround.

There is indeed sometimes a bug with the add-ons, where the pop-up doesn't appear. There is a workaround: closing & reopening the table during the add-on break should make the add-on pop-up appear.

GG! I was on your table the whole way as PaleBlueDot_ 😃

I hope you can get back up and win that UK Tour package!

Thanks for the nice blogposts. I've been a bit behind in reading.

In the first two ICM hands, there is are clues that are easy to detect that indicate that ICM pressure is low:

• In the first hand, you have more than double the amount of chips you need to call. Whenever you have such a big stack as compared to the shove, ICM pressure can't be huge because you're still very much alive after you lose, and when stacks get so short, the dead money really affects the pot odds. Without all the dead money, you would need 59,65% equity to call. And with all that dead money, you only need 52,27% equity.
• In the second hand, you're 2 off the bubble as one of the shortstacks, so you're current $EV isn't that high (€12,86 in this case). As long as you only have half the $EV of the payout, ICM pressure can't be that big, because your $EV will still massivly rise as you win chips. This combines with the good pot odds you get here, makes that you only need 53,87% equity versus villains range.

Nice, good luck in the DSO.

Nice intro, interesting background you have. Looking forward to following your blog and hear what you have to say about the Unibet SNGs. And I'm secretly hoping to see one of my aliases appear here and get bashed for a hand I played badly 😏

It's a spot where I would instinctively fold but it is a profitable call.

Your hand needs 52,89% equity versus the shoving range to make it a profitable call.

For the shoving range, there are multiple options, but I think they are all close to what ICMizer suggests:

• An ICM expert, who thinks there are ICM aware players behind, will have a range close to what ICMizer calculates (47%), in which case it's a profitable call
• A decent player will have a range that looks very much like the nash push/fold range, which in this case is about 49%, very close to the range ICMizer calculated, in which case it's also a profitable call: A8s has 56,8% equity versus that range.
• An ICM expert, who thinks he has ICM unaware players behind, will in a lot of situations, where the correct calling ranges should be really tight, use a range a bit tighter to what ICMizer calculates, because people will call too loose. But in this case, this won't really be the case, because the ICM-correct calling ranges are already quite loose, so ICM unaware players don't have much room to call too loose. So also in this case, A8s will be a profitable call.
• A fun player is hardest to range. A lot of them will shove not enough middling suited connecters but anything with a broadway card, also versus a range like that A8s is about a 56% favourite. It's only versus a fun player who really nits it up with a short stack near the bubble that calling isn't profitable.

So it's definitely a profitable call. However, if you know there are players at the table who make big ICM mistakes, the $EV of your current stack is actually higher then what an ICM calculation suggests, so your tournament life is worth more, and so you might make your calling requirements tighter then what an ICM calculation suggests. But this is often a dangerous road to go down because people tend to overestimate their edge.

I'll post this one for you @coconuts

Me surviving the UK25 bubble with 1/4th of a bb, after making an earlier comeback from 1bb.

Good luck tonight, and see you there tomorrow 😃
