Hi everybody just to present myself, Patrick from Quebec 22 years old. I will update a lot in this thread since i think its motivate myself and also i can have good advice from the community here for my plan etc..
Ive been playing hu hyper in the past a bit when it start off and now going back to it (personnal reason/goals) so here is my last post on another non connect forum where i were in the past. I was playing hyper on ftp found those pretty easy not too much reg at this stakes obv..and after watching complete video series here (thanks to Chadders0 you made some good stuff ;) Result were turning 25$ bankroll on ftp to see what happen and this is how it went:
5$ 245 games net winnings 87.20$ 7.12% ROI 55.1% ITM 1st-135 2nd-110
10$ 57 games net winnings 15.60 2.74 ROI 52.6 ITM 1s-30 2nd-27
What i should continue doing to have succes in this format and make money:
+ Search player before play them at 10$
+ Continue to color codes villain and taking note while playing
+ Pay attention to each detail ingame (very good for rematch gameflow)
What i should work on:
- Adapting better to aggro villain
- Less tilting after a miracle river etc.. (Stick to decision and not the result)
- Volume, Volume, Volume
Hopefully green will rise up at the same time as the redline. Happy on the play i did just have to keep focusing.
Now i have a bigger roll on stars (400-450$) approx since i stakes some ppl around. Gonna restart off at 7$ on stars and go from there. I you have any question fell free to ask im here to answer you and also learn a lot on the forum and see where this is gonna brying me out ;)
GL everyone and dont forget doing a mistake is human but repeat the same mistakes without learning any lesson is stupid!
Hi everyone quick update after 219 games on stars 7s buyins level let put the graph then comments:
Not very too say honestly im steaming at the moment thats why i will stop 1-2 days off the tables because i really think ive play good games and not find too many good player at this levels and have been running out of bunch of cooler/beats at the end..even if i dont need any excuse etc im dissapointed
Here is what i will focus on next series:
-Get a lot of volume
- Play each player has it should (less automatic decision/ more focus on player types etc..)
- Take shorter notes
- Try to review hands im not sure about
Gl to you guys hopefully my green and redline will rise pretty soon!

Mhmh... I am confused.
Get a lot of volume.
Play each player [...]
Take shorter notes
those are all final goal approaches. But here:
Try to review [...]
It's like you are saying "if i find the time..."
Once you know the basic, your priority has to be to finalize your game and in order to reach this goal YOU HAVE TO ANALYZE YOURSELF.
Getting more volume with a wrong style is bad
Playing each player individualy is not even possible, you do not know your own weakness
Using the notes, that you made before you drastically altered your own style is a very risky business.
Good luck on the tables!
Hi.
Here is what i mean exactly:
Get a lot of volume (Stop doing nothing at home except training and eating right and kick my ass to put more hours at the table)
Play each player has it should (Focus on player types normally they are close to something and adjust with their weakness to crush them...just mean i should not play a hands same way with everyplayer base on value or bluff let say if i know a guy 3betAI a lot with mid connectors etc i will be more incline to limp stab sometimes or open-raise call shove a bit wider)
Take shorter notes (no need to notes everything or almost all hands i see, just take the importants things and make it short like donk K52 flop raise pot rather than other obv things like open ship 44 20bb deep...almost anyone doing it so i prefer the more useful one even if you gonna say take every notes you can yes)
Try to review hands im not sure about (I prefer continue watch some videos and read a lot of forum, starting off the jared tendler video series and mental game of poker for the second time, then reviewing hands alone mostly and not being enought critical even we are our worst critics, so im gonna marks hands im not sure post here talk to some player with the same goals as me and try to find study class)
Is it sounds better now?
Also just quick update have been running quite bad at 7s actually on stars as you see so im gonna drop do 3.5s two tabling on stars to rebuild confidence and roll.Also playing 5s on ftp.

You should do your hand analyzis always on your own - at leat in the beginning. If you have doubts about your play; take the hand apart. If you cannot proceed any further, but still don't have the result, that is when you can post your hand here, but then you still should write down your analyzis.
Sometimes in the forums, you will see player who post the hand and an "ok?" below. Once someone analyzised the hand they never have any questions, they just say "ok" and did not learn why it is a good or bad move.
Jared Tendler is an impressive coach, but it is all about mentality in poker. I highly doubt that at those low levels, mental training should be your priority. You better would get a series that builds around playing.
Hi.
Hi everyone just a little update really want to do 1 week update but here i am just before 2014!
I said i will play also on ftp to see how the competition go there and I already know before doing it it was a bit softer imo so i start off with only 50$ with a very aggro bankroll starting at 5s if i drop down to 25$ or below go play 2.25$ (i know i can transfer some funds from stars to ftp) so no worry about it really.Here is the graph for 2.25-5.00$.
Small sample of course but dont judge me im not a pro and have been busy with day lift (Car broke down twice, family xmas party, friends,etc.) even this said i dont have any excuse for volume and i will challenge myself to put more volume each week/month even if im busy with training, friends, day to day things.
Also keep playing on stars but decide to go at 3.5s to rebuild confidence (since 7s have been bad for me ev wise..). Pretty happy with how i play but not the graph obv..22Buy-in under ev. Also to note that i was 2 tabling all those 3.5s to give me a sense at how it goes vs different kind of opponents at the same time and of course try to make more money to get back to 7s.
After all i think im really happy with my play on both site as i mention. I'm really less tilting and i've seem some sick beats just for info on 98x board villain ch/r me AI with K3 and hit runner runner 3 to crack my QQ but thats part of the game and even if i find it frustrating its all those people that give me money a lot of time in this spot and make me wanna play poker and keep on grinding.
In january since i will only go back to school on the third Monday of the month i will really focus on getting back my Healthy lifestyle (Good training 5 days a weeks/Eating 6-7 meals a day (yeah im bulking../Good 8+ hours of Sleep), and playing hu hyper also looking for study partner so if you guys play at 7s-15s or higher and wanna talk on skype feel free to send me your by email.
Wish you the best for 2014 what ever you plan is and remember there is no time to make resolution (stop smoking for example on 1st january let say) you can make it when ever you want but make sure you do it for the right reason and stick to it! Do it for you not for someone else!

You seem to have a very good mindset. Keep it up and good luck in 2014!
Oh and a final word of advice: you might be better off sticking to playing on one site. Both the stars and ftp VIP system favour volume heavy players.
Hi.
hehe thanks you very much Barrin, yeah im ready to do my things and push forward to see how far i can go. Nice advice also im not saying i will play both sites. I mainly do it just because i was a bit tilted then take 2 days off and go back on ftp (have done this kind of challenge 50 to 250$ on ftp) im a quick way last time so maybe i can do it again and transfer funds on stars then close ftp. However i really like stars software vs ftp just because its so much faster after a decision and now im almost impatient when i fold on ftp and have to wait the 2-3seconds more vs stars.
Im looking to put some good volume the first quarter of 2014. Hopefully i will find some group/people looking to become better and ready to study with me!
Gl to you also what's your plan for 2014? You can update you thread so i can follow you easiler ;)
Dont Let Variance Affect You!
I am afraid that there will not be a lot to follow me in 2014, as far as it concerns poker. The next 3 years I will be quite busy achiving my "Professional Bachelor ODEC in Business Administration" and therefore in my spare time I will not do lots of poker related stuff (as a matter of fact, the course starts in April and two days ago I selfexcluded myself for 6 months on Pokerstars and FTP in order to avoid distraction). In my spare time I mostly will focus on working out and playing MtG a little bit more. :)
Hi.
thats all fine Barrin, finishing school is mandatory imo and thats a very nice plan there. I should put move emphasing on this when i was younger even if im only 23 soon i could have been to university (Here we have collegue before high school and university) but i will complete on may my course and go work a bit and see if i consider it enough. I know there will always be a opportunity for bunch of things to happen and im glad of what i've learn so far by myself (Sometimes a bit later but i still learn from my mistakes!) What ever you do Barrin im sure you do it for the right reason and for yourself first to all! Keep it up
Hey I use to play MTG a bit in High School i guest your more a player then me on this but like this kind of games!
Wish you to succeed what ever your doing and keep educate me when i post hands or on downswings i like it ;)

Hi all, just a little update to post my graph for january actually, you will soon see a short video i made for jonathanM Hud which is a free release: http://www.husng.com/content/free-holdem-manager-2-hud
you should really check the hud is a very good one imo if you have any question feel free im directly also im contact with Jonathan so all question can be answer ;) Dont be to rude on the video was my first official video and was very nervous on it (yeah i dont talk a lot in it but its a small video on the Hud itself while I play not strategy video even if i try to made some good comments on my play)
If there is any French native out here let us know so we can made content/translate some video series for you (I am French native for your info if you have not seen my english is not near perfection)
Goals of the month: + Volume near 40-50 game/day + Dont tilt vs good/fish opponent and quit when we know we are beat or tilt + Find 1-3 people who play 15s or around who wanna join a group of talentend grinder to share strategy, review hands together and crush!
Everyone starting from somewhere and next one will be better! Ok so here my graph actually for the month, really think I play my A game except couple match vs a fishy opponent who really play out of line and nothing make sense (you can see in the graph if i remember its the 2nd downswing..around 235 game) Any question, positive comment please feel free to ask and share with me! Gl at the table everyone

Hi,
I'm gonna watch your vid. I tried the HUD a few times... Not sure I get the best of it so maybe it will help.
That said I see on the screenshots some kind of a ROTF chart.. Can that be found somewhere ?
Its a small video i should also make a longer one will more detail on each stats and how you can use correctly let said. For the ROLF table just click once on your name and it will appear ;) You got also a nash table if you click on your bb stack and a stats popup when you click on villain name.
If you have any question feel free to ask!
