Hello all you fine people of HUSNG.com. Please allow me to introduce myself!
My name is Robin and I've been a fairly recreational player for a couple years now. I think I probably started playing the game properly back in 2011 when I joined a pub league while at Uni in Cardiff. Since then I have tried my hand at various forms and formats with limited success. Mainly this has been due to frequent BR management nonexistencies as well as a classically Scandinavian tendensy to be way too aggressive and subsequently go on monkeytilt.
I have decided to try and grind my way up using proper BR management and telling myself to not do what I always do on several occasions, but have always been able to donk off a promising roll some way or another.
This time though; it will be different (he says with confidence).
I very recently had some spare money and deposited on Stars to play the 9th anniversary Sunday Million for funsies, and as I deposited more than needed I started fooling around with HU Hypers, as a good friend of mine plays them almost exclusively and I fancied giving them a proper go. I thought I'd start this thread to help myself (hopefully) feel accountable to something or someone else and have loved reading some of the challenge threads already on this site.
So far I have a roll of just north of $300 and am currently playing the $3.5's on Stars. I did take a shot at the $7's, but dropped down after a tiny 10BI downswing feeling that I should play with at LEAST 50BI's for my respective level, and use the $3.5's to properly acclimatize to the format. I have currently played 300 odd games and am (sadly, I might add) breaking just over even and fairly significantly over EV (Damn you judgmental yellow line!). Hopefully as I adjust to the rigors of HU Hyper Turbo's I can start narrowing the gap. I'm currently -$50 ish in the 7's and +$95 ish in the 3.5's. I'll post some graphs and stats when I get home this evening and get the thread going :P
MY GOALS:
- First and foremost I want to finally prove to myself that I can remain focused, tilt free and maintain dilligent BR management.
- Be rolled for and playing the $15's by the end of the year
- Get me some coaching!!
- Afford CoffeeHUD (That thing be sexy yo)
Short Term Goals:
- Run under EV for once (at least then I can justify losing and feel good about it ;)
- Start playing the 7's when I hit $350 - $400 Roll.
Please feel free to share your two cents! :D
All the best,
Roblomax
