Hey guys!
I'm 22 years old student from Slovenia, i started playing poker when i was 18 and quickly when i found heads-up i fell in love with them, but didn't have much success there, i remember watching lot of videos, reading HH reviews in school, also had leakfinder video done, but couldnt win (also remember running 80buyins under EV, so downswing + new, unexperienced and not winning player = very bad). I also think didn't have the right mindset to apply all the things i learned into my playing.
Then i didn't play for about a year or two, just occasional HU MTT when i put money on. Then after some time away i again started to read some poker forums, blogs and stuff and fell into it again. Then i saw staking program here on husng and applied, did get trough first stages, but unfortunately didn't get in the end. But the whole thing motivated me even more, but didn't have bankroll, decided i'd wait and get a job in summer then start playing, but that wasn't neccesary because same day i felt like playing HU-MTT and was placed second, did another one and was first, so i had roll around 600$.
Then i decided i would give hypers another shot, i opened a topic here with some questions and got good answers.
Last sunday I just started playing with goal of playing 1000 games to see where i stand and then move from there on. I quickly went from 3,5$ to 7$ because i had enough roll and felt comfortable playing them (main reason was lesser rake than on 3,5$).
So today i finished my 1000 game "challenge" and decided i start a thread here, with hope i will find some other 7s players who are open to share there knowledge and do some group sessions, which is what i think my "game" need the most right know. Always wanted to do that, but never was part of any poker community.
Here are some graphs
3,5$ + 7$ (and one accidental 15$ xD )
What should showdown/ non-showdown lines be?
Here is how mine looked on 3,5$:
I thought that i play too aggressive and go to showdown when behind, so when i moved to 7s i changed my tactics a little, now im not really sure which is better :D
graph at 7$:
Short time Goals:
-More studying
-Find a player to work on hand reviews
-1 table only for a while
-Get that shitty EV in +!! :D
Won't post any long term goals, since i want to focus on short time goals for now.
To answer all "how to run above EV" questions.. run bad in real life! :D
EDIT: I still have no idea if i am winning, breakeven or loosing player, so i was thinking i would make a video playing hyper turbo with my comments, then if someone has a few minutes time can tell me if there are any big leaks in my thought proccess.
EDIT2: Are those Vip stellar rewards the only rakeback i'll be getting on stars before statuses like supernova etc. ?
Hey guys!
Just had sick session, 15 buy-ins up over 40 games :D hope it continues in the evening :P
Since i started this thread i did some studying, reviewed some hands, watched free videos and read mersennearies e-book. So far been only 1-tabling and it's working out great, EV also going up, which i'm most happy about :D
I'll post graphs at the end of the week, because i study and play only 1 table so therefore sample is really small :)
Hey, it's been about a week since i started this thread, I've been mostly 1-tabling, only tried 2 tabling last session today, results have been better, but neeeed more volumeeee :)))
Also at the start of the week i did a lot of studying but then everyday less, will have to study more!!
Here is graph since i started this thread and is mostly 1 table:
And this one are all my 7s so far:
In june i have a lot of exams at university, so i probably won't be playing/studying poker much, will try to do at least some games, to keep silverstar status :)
Will post any new updates :)

No, there are plenty of other rewards. You can use your FPPs to buy stuff in the shop. But in order to receive good rakeback, you need to accumulate more FPPs first. This thread should answer most of your questions in that matter:

good luck on the tables!
Hi.
Thank barrin, i've been playing satelites for sunday storm, 6max 235fpp, so far 2115 FPPs for 22$, not so good, but been running pretty bad in those and also small sample.
I decided to make quick update, because i played 1000 tournaments since i started this thread ^^
Also won another HU-MTT for 288$ + knockouts ^^
Really running good :D
I play 7s. pm me for skype if interested in talking strat
Did you consider going for T$ without the satelite? I believe that 700 fpp will get you $11 ticket.
Hi.
Yes but you cant get tournament dollars from that ticket if i'm right, with 6max satelites i just unregister from sunday storm and play HU hypers :)
True story? I always thought you would only get the T$ once you already are registered for the tournament?
Either way: good for you!
Hi.
You do get only T$, but you can play SNGs with tournament money too :)

Hey guys, didnt play much in June and ran pretty breakeven as you can see in graph below. So far played 2k games after i started this thread. So many games lately I've been getting it in vs higher pocket pairs, better aces and so on, I hope it turns around :D
Goals for July:
- Study more, I bought sentins pack recently, so far watched first few videos and im quite satisfied
- Work on developing reads, note taking and 2 tabling
- Put in decent volume, although I'll also be pretty busy in July, so i think about 2k games would be realistic
Good effort dude! Keep doing the hard work that you will get there!
Keep playing one table until you get pretty comfortable with it!
Hey, thanks, but effort is not so good, should work harder :D
I started with 1 table, got comfortable and quickly start 2 tabling, then after a while i saw i play to much abc and not focus enough on opponents while 2 tabling and i started 1 tabling again and after some sessions started 2 tabling and repeat :)
Arent low limits best way to learn 2tabling? that was my thought, better loose some money now than on higher levels. but i guess i'll try 1tabling again, since im pretty unhappy with last sessions.
Is there option in PT4 to see graphs from 1 and 2 tabling? i remember there was in HEM, but cant find it in PT4
