hey... thanks for being honest aggsyb... take a lot of courage to post something like this after yesterday's post, but don't worry, you'll be back in no time.. people don't just get a sick set of games like yesterday on pure luck.. just a matter of time till ur back in your game with the cards in your favour, or at least, just not completely against you like today...

Its fecking scary how when you lose alot of money you want to jump off a building or do something really stupid. You may feel a little shite for now but you know it will pass and you'll be back to your old self again!

Look your playing the 200s and making a living. Thats pretty good going bucko!

Keeping pushing.

Take care dude....

Do you play turbos or regs or both?
aggsyb

90-95% turbos
z1s6arn

Hey mate.

Could you just give us a look into why you moved from turbos (presuming you were reg speed). What buy in level did you make the jump?

Oh and I presume you 2 table and always stop at the end of the day at 30 games per session.

When did you start mutil tabling and any advice on it.

Any insights would be really helpful mate.

Take care,

Yeh I played $50 deeps last year and moved to $100 deeps and action started drying up as my roll grew I moved to $200 deeps (action by now was so dead in these games) I added reg speeds and even by then action was very slow while regging tons of lobbys. I decided to drop $100 deeps and sit $110 turbs + $100 reg and $200 deep I was getting alot of my action at $110's and same again as my roll grew I dropped $100 reg speeds and sat $110 turbs , $220 turbs , $200-$300 reg speeds and $300 deep games.

After a while I just dropped everything but turbos as so much of my action was coming from them and deeps just burn you out very fast. I was very slow in beginning to two table perhaps the $80-100 level and I was amazingly bad at it too but realised it was required. Advice I would give is to make sure your 1 table game is something your very happy with and when you take it to two games start in reg speeds so you get a bigger timebank and talk out loud about your decisions on each table and really take your time because alot of people seem to rush decisions when they have alot more time than they think they do, also take tons of notes. It starts coming natrually after alot of practice. 30 a day has been my daily volume target yes but im increasing that to 40 this month as I pmuch sit every reg on the site so 30 is pretty slack volume considering how easy it is for me to get games.

Very very helpful!

Now why do you sit every reg on the site? I would presume its higher variance and much easier to make money out of fish but the counter argument is it sharpens your game nicely so you become a much much better player...it also gives you a psychological edge because regs feel uncomfortable playing regs.

Are there any players you just cant beat?

My strategy would be to keep playing the better regs (one at a time going over each HH per game and devising a strategy for that particular player) until I eventually work them out until I can learn to exploit them with confidence. Even if it costs buy ins eventually you'll have an edge and by doing so you'll have learned how to exploit that particular player type which just so happens to see there waiting for you as a new fish but in the past would have pounded you to bits and you would have avoided. IS my logic correct?

Have you any plans to move to the $500s and $1000s. Have you tried and what are your thoughts?

God this sounds like a proper interview. lol

Cheers mate,

Well im playing 200 and 300 euro games at the mo and my avg bi is around $340. I sit all the "regs" on this site because I have an edge over them so 1) its money , 2) when they see me in the lobby they wont sit because they know i will sit them which means I get the lobby, after they get sick of me hammering them they decline and unreg all the lobbys so I get in excellent volume vs players I have vs an edge then I also get an empty lobby to mop up fish. I will stick with 200+300 euro games for now I will at times sit a 500 if i see a fish open sitting but ill probably wait a month or so before im regging them properly.

It is easy to wait for fish yeh.. but letting other regs sit means you have to sit for even longer , by sitting all the regs + some fish I would say im 3-4% roi if not more. So more games with a slightly lower edge = more money + ofc more rakeback.

Very informative!
