Pretty big downswing for me as I've been running at about 10.5bb/100 on UB (600nl/1000nl) and in the last 6k hands I'm down about 10k.

My EV calc says I've lost 7k in all-ins when I should be up 8.4k. I'm probably gonna rewatch some of my games and see if I'm doing much wrong, but I don't think tilt or play deterioration is that bad, we'll see.

my game at 50/100 blinds has become ultra-aggressive. way more agressive than sage or chen/ackerman jam/fold tables.

with effective stacks at around 1100 and lower, i realized (after doing basic math) that i can push any two cards profitably on the button because according to my PT db at the 33s and lower they are only calling with the top 20% of hands (and they don't adjust; or if they do, which is rare, it is often too late because if they expand calling range to say 40%, their stack will be small enough that push is still +EV).

as a result my opponents are berating me in the chat box, calling me every name under the sun.

I agree that this approach is +ev, but do you think you are maximizing your edge doing this???

check your pm, no need for me to take up this thread with my theory ramblings

I know Pokeroffice and Tourneymanager can, but is there any other way to make a HU SNG $ winnings graph?
I can only get PokerGrapher to make a cash table graph and Pokertracker only shows a big red squar in a 3d graph.
I can make a "real" graph of the "tournaments won/lost" in PT but I would like it to be in $ instead.

So... ya, is there a way to stop playing PLO cash way above my roll? I just dumped like a quarter of my br in 45 minutes to a LAG (I wouldn't quite say LAGtard, he seemed decent-ish upon review) when I missed like every single flop ever (the only reason I didn't lose 1/4th my br in 15 minutes is because I floated the flop often enough to take a few pots).

I can beat SNGs but I don't seem to have the mindset or the level of play to beat HU cash games. Oh well.

EDIT: Also, can I get anyone to transfer me $500 on Stars for $500 on Full Tilt? Thanks in advance.

If your downsing is 10k total at 600/1000NL its really not that huge yet. 15ish buyins is big but its pretty standard in fast aggro games like UB, especially if you make a couple of bad plays for stacks when you get stuck. Kind of why I like the UB software because its so fast that it can really tilt even the best opponents.

I guess my tolerance for downsings is higher than alot of ppl because I am so over-rolled. IMO the best thing you can do is drop to 2/4 or even 1/2 smash a few ppl for a few days and move up. Its not about admitting defeat or anything but trying to grind out of your downswing at your normal levels its not really a great idea. Drop down for a day or two book a few solid wins and move up, you will notice the difference in your game.

Yeah, I've got no problem moving down. But with such a high winrate it's frustrating as a lot of ugly hands have taken place. But I'm extremely aggressive so I agree, it's not a ridiculously horrible run. I'm pretty sure I'll get back on track.

Weeeeeeeeeeee HU WCOOP tonight, hope the structure plays nice and slow which it looks like it will.

PrimordialAA · #**370** 09-21-2007, 11:58 AM

rofl.... wayyy too slow :-p, it hates us HU SNGrs ;p and <3 <3 deep stack cash player... I cant play >50bb, its awful ;p

p.s. I wish they would do something like the WSOP event or the live HU event I played in, which is a bit faster structure, but each round is played as 2/3.

oh god, I would pay so much to have like a turbo HU tourney with 2/3 rounds... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
