Hi Guys,
I know how HEM works when calculating the EV in cashgames, but I am not sure how they do it in SnGs.
Probably they give the chips a value in $ and do it like a normal cashgame? Example: $1500 HU SnG so you start with 1500 chips and each chip has a $1 value.
How accurate is this, because I am at a point where in run nice into the minus and the EV curve is going upwards a lot. My ROI on the 155 SnGs at $50 I played so far is now -1.1%, according to HEM it should be 4.1% EV adj. Probably I am just running terrible, all the worst fish suck out on me all day long.
However, I think about coaching or at least finde someone for a user to user coaching, to share experience and to discuss reads and moves, to hear some other opinions.
I am aware the fact that 155 games is like nothing and variance is the name of the enemy, but from the psychological aspect I always get to this point where I say "All I do is wrong, I cannot beat the fish, so I am the fish." Then I consider to play Omaha, FR NL or something else...
Who is a good coach for a fair $/h rate that has experience with such psycho's like me? :)
Happy Holidays!
I'd like to now that too!
no one?
There is only one payout in HUSNGs, so your chips are basically worth a cash value (your optimal plays in HUSNG are the same as if you were XXBB deep in a cash game). This is different from STTs where you can potentially place in a higher position if you play tight someone else can go out in a higher position.
I don't know much about HEM, but I would imagine that if the EV works for cash games that it would work fine for HUSNGs as well. I think you should be putting your focus into playing instead of analyzing EV though!
I am not going to analyze my EV a lot, definitely a waste of time. But sometimes, when you are just loosing 5-6 games in a row and you start loosing your confidence it just helps a bit to see that you are running way under ur EV. Sure, I can make right decissions against a villain and those decissions turn out to be -EV in that spot so EV alone will not tell me if my play was correct or not.
Happy New Year!
$50 SnG's - 14 buyin under EV right now - is that normal? How are you guys running, under or over EV, how much? Would be interesting to know.
Sucks if you should be winning, instead you loose like every game.
I have like 25% ROI in $5500s and I'm still down more than $20k EV lifetime in HEM. I have no idea what is normal.
I guess you ran lots of successful bluffs but you've been sucked out on when you had a good hand
I realized that I worded that really poorly. The $20k I'm down lifetime in EV isn't just in $5500s, it is overall. I figured I would throw it out there because someone was asking what to expect. I don't really know what is normal but that's where I am.
Well bluffs cannot effect the EV as the EV of a fold = 0. Obviously it will calculate for each hand that goes to showdown the EV, that might be either 100% winning (you bet on the river and you have the best hand and get called) 100% loosing (you bet/call and you loose) or a equity based hand where you are all in before the river.
Obviously only those equity based hands will alter the EV graph according to luck. So if you loose a lot of 50:50 situations, you will be under EV, if you win more than you should you will be over EV.
In my case right now my ROI is -2.2% (lost $480), my EV graph says according to EV I should have +1.5% (won $320). So if that EV is calculated correctly I am running very bad.
That is why I asked, I mean if this EV is bullshit and does not make sense at all at SNGs I would worry a lot. If the EV is correct I still worry, but less than I would do otherwise hance I am a winning player already (and i still have a long long way to go to get good).
Hope you got my point.
