Hi everyone,i just decided to share with you my hyper hu poker journey(goals,everyday results,interesting hands etc).i used to play turbos 20-30$ at partypoker and managed tp built good bankrolls but i used to destroy it playing 100$+ games.now i start playing hypers 7$,my short time goal is to maintain a 7$+/hour,my ev roi is 4,9% and i have played 2273 games.in my country(greece) the crisis dropped the salaries to very low levels,the usual earning per hour for most jobs is 3-5 euros.i graduated from civil engineering department of studies but there are no jobs and the future prospect is very bad.i am working form my family buisness(sport cafe) and earning 600-700 euros/month(250 working hours).thats why maintaining a 7$/hour is important,i can play 80-100 hours,1 table.here is my graph.
Hi again,my first update,i played 186 games since i created this thread,it took me 8,2 hours(i play 1 table).i didnt play very well,i lost 60-65% of games against other regs,but totally i made a profit of 82$(6.3% roi) but i was lucky(3% ev roi).i am still find no reason to move to 15$ because i maintain a 7.15$/hour ev money.i am not very sure if i can win the same amount or bigger at 15$.so i will keep playing the 7$,the games are easy in general especially when the traffic is very big.sorry for my bad english,my nick at pokerstars is arvan19855.i will post a graf when i reach 3000k games(2459 now).
Good Luck my friend. It looks like you are playing quite well.
Hi everyone,i didnt post because i wanted to reach 3000 games before i do it.so i played 541 games and won 295$(7.8% roi) and my ev roi was 6.4%.despite the good results i feel that i didnt play my best game,i think that i had the card distribution in my favor but anyway i have to spend some time analyzing some hands.Totally i have played 3k games,my ev roi is 5.1% and my roi is 4,1%(30 buy ins below expectation).i have spent 140 hours grinding so i play for 7.6$/hour,it is a good number,i wish i can keep playing with this winrate.Some notices:
1) Friday-saturday-sunday are the best days,75% of my total profit has been created these days.
2)It is slightly better playing the evenings than the mornings.
3)Rematcing is a -ev action for me,i dont know exactly the reason,maybe it is a leak.i noticed that i play better with a new opponent.Of course i play a lot of times with players which i have played in the past(hud is extremely important tool for me) but the immediate rematch is an action that doesnt work for me even if i am pretty sure that i have a solid edge against the particular opponent.
nice thread gl
Solid graph man !! Congratz
Hi guys and ty for posting here.This will be my last summer update because today the holiday session starts.I wii be back home 24 august and i wiil have to do a lot of works(i rented a house and i will have to organize my sport-cafe buisness due to the start of football season).So i think that i will play my first autumn sessions at the second half of september.
My last poker session was terrible,it was the worst session until the start of the journey.I played 23 games,i lost 106$(-66% roi,-20% ev roi).I played like the worst fish and was unlucky too.Before starting the session i made a cashout(i cashed out the 85% of my br).So it has been left 170$ in my account and after losing 106$ i decided to stop,i had very bad mood so no reason to keep playing.After that i decided to deposit the rest of my money to ongame and gamble.I play a 56$ ultra turbo hu and lost it easily.Anyway my last session was terrible!!This gambling mood is always the result of a huge tilting session and at the past was the reason destroying many accounts and hard made profits.
Wheb i wiil be back and finish my works i will start playing again.Here is some goals and rules:
1)Deposit 300$ and start grinding the 7s,1 table as always,80 hours/month and a profit goal of ev 7$/hour(current is 7.38$/hour)
2)Cash out rule:I will cash out 70% of my profit in a monthly base.It is a good way to get real value of poker earnings.
3)Climp-drop level rule:if my account reaches 100 buy ins of current level i will start playing some next level games,the analogy wiill be 2current-1next level so i will keep my risk in low level and i will have the chance to see what happens at the next level.If my account reaches the amount of 20 buy ins of current level i will have to play to the lower level because i do not want to re deposit.
4)Kill my gambling mood. it only keeps 5-10 min especially after bad sessions.i have set buyin limits on pokerstars but i have an active ongame account,i will close it,no reason to keep it open.
5)Make 5k year profit.I started 12 of june and my ev profit with rakeback until now is 1220$,my real profit is 880$.i hope that variance wont kill my goals.
Any thoughts and advices wiil be very important for me.
I wish you the best!Good poker days and happy holidays!
Good luck man.
Since you say that the salaries are dropping.
Can you explain how it comes that in high stakes MTTS there are always so many greeks registered?
For such a small country with a crisis it is remarkable.
Greetings from Holland.
Good Luck, i look forwar to seeing more from you.

Hi,a lot of time has past and i will soon update my results,maybe today or tomorrrow.thank you!
Hi again!Like i said in my last summer post, i had to stop playing for 1-2 months.i deposited 300 euros the 1st of octomber but i really didnt have a lot of time,i played some mtts and 180 man sngs but nonthing important.In the end of octomber i discovered by chance this new format which called spin and go.i played some 3$ and found out that the field is extremely soft.i decided to give it a chance at 7$,i was very happy,this new format attracted all the bad players,this was my first impession.Then i started searching the net,i read some articles and discussions and surprisingly there were all negative.The main reason according to them is the low probabilities of hitting the jackpots multipliers.Additionally the bigger rake comparing to other formats is a negative factor.I continued grinding spgs and i realized that there are money here!
I would like to make a few notices:
1) Ev line is wrong.When i win a game there is no problem,but when i lose a game the hem ignores the multiplier,so when i played for 840$ and lost it,the hem ev won was like i palyed a 14$ game.
2)games2713, profit 2673,roi 15%,hours 168,16$/hour.40,3% itm,71423 hands,12,57 bb/100.9,77 evbb/100,chips won 265865,ev chips 208290.
3)1 game with 120 multipl.(840$,lost) 3 games with 25 multipl(175$,won 2/3).
4)The most important:Winnings without counting the 10x and 25x multipliers:1670$,almost 10$/hour.HU hypers couldnt give me 10$/hour.
Conclusion:Despite being lucky until now it is worth grinding this new format!Of course tha chance of hitting the big multipl.is an extra motivation.
