Hey,
This thread is designed to share my journey through micro HU sngs on Bovada. I only play turbos, as I've tried so many other formats in the past, and I've failed/spun my wheels in everything but turbos. Currently I sit at a BR of $100 playing $5 and .25 HU turbos with a goal of turning my original deposit of $20 to $5,000! I don't have a timeframe in mind, but I know that I need a monetary goal to strive for or else this won't work for me.
A little about myself: I am a full-time teacher in sunny Phoenix, AZ with a part-time job on the weekends. I will strictly be grinding HU sngs on the side and volume may be an issue from time to time, but life balance is way too important to me, so that's okay!
I have HEM 2, but I haven't set it up with Bovada, so I could use a little advice on how to track my ROI and hands, as I'm really unfamiliar with this site for the most part.
Thanks everyone and good luck at the tables!

GL!
I play on bovada as well. Was at the 5.25 turbos but having to drop down to the 3.15s. Hope it goes well for ya!
Hey thanks for the well wishes. Hopefully you crush Bovada as well :)
A quick update:
Currently my BR sits at $192 after some $5 And $10 HUs over the past week. I'm not seeing much of a difference in population from the 5s to the 10s, but I'm sure I'll see a distinct difference between the higher levels. I plan on grinding 10s this weekend unless I hit a lull and go under $100.
I got PT3 working and the Bovada hand converter working for me, so I'm able to import hands, but it's typically a 2-3 day process before HH's become available, which is annoying. However, I have been able to track my stats and see my ROI, so that has been helpful.
My volume has been really low (around 100 games) so the stats aren't very telling at this point. Although I do notice that I am winning something like 21k chips in the SB as opposed to 3k chips in the BB. Obviously being OOP you will bleed chips, but the disparity seems so high. This leads me to think I should be 3 betting polarized hands more. Can anybody recommend an average 3bet percentage? Or is it all villain dependent?
Any other info on stats that I should be focusing on would be really appreciated.
Thanks and GL at the tables, all

I would use pokeit for bovada hand historys 10 dollars a month gets you a million hand limit andyou can review hands that you write down and can view villians hole cards in the process. A HUD is waste of time unless your are using it to track hands and in that case you can just use pokeit
Hey man I remember you from playing ACR $20s a couple years ago. How has Bovada been treating you? What levels do you play?
