Wannabe STT Grinder

Im so fucking tired of hem2 and its customer service!

It all started 2-3 weeks ago with an update. I was without HEM2 for a couple of days do to some registration problems with their software. I decided to buy notecaddy and since then holdem manager has been useless. Im either without notecaddy or im without my tournament reports.

Also looks like i've lost all my tournament hand histories during this process. HEM2 support answers my emails once every day or every other day and looks like ive had different consultant every time. Its fucking annoing when you've explained your problem again and again and again to different people. And they keep suggesting fixes that i've allready tried......

Not only have I used alot of money on this shit. It also tilts me like crazy when i try to get it to work before, during and after sessions.

I'm trying out 6-max stt. I generally think its more fun and looks like people play alot more spewy here. So should be more exploitable, unfortunally I suck aswell but hopefully some of you can give me some pointers on this video that i've uploaded.

I managed to grind a good 210 games this weekend, unfortunally I didnt do so as a winning player but atleast Im a silverstar now :D Thought I would be able to get some of those cashback rewards but I discovered that I didn't have nearly enough VPP for that. Oh well! -.-
I did get one of those 10$ stellar rewards thou :)

Im currently trying to hit my silverstar status at Pokerstars. Im losing 2,5$ every session(12games). Kinda sucks but I only have 150 games left untill im silver so I might aswell keep playing.

Here's a video of me 4-tabling 9-man SNG. Trying to comment on me and my opponents moves. Sorry for my crappy accent, im also not used to talk english to my computer but hey.. I might get used to it :D

This graph is basically saying that I suck.. But SNGwiz say I play good. So what this basically mean is that my all in hands are usually underdogs?

Last week's grind ended up with me 40$s below my initial starting point. which equals to about 27BI's.

My all-in EV line from my previous post says im just playing bad and not running bad but I should probably see if I can filter out all hands played after the bubble because they are usually very laggy and may be the reason for my negative EV line.

I'll also try to sort out all my fatal losing hands from 4th to 9th place and go through these hands again. See how many hands i played well, spots im uncertain in and places I was just playing bad.

One of the things that Im expecting to see is that I Im losing with alot of Ax\AQ hands to AKs. And that may have a tendency to push with J9s and Q9s type of hands in position when im low stacked. When i get called im often dominated by KQ, KJ, AJ type hands. Im not sure if I really can avoid losing those AQ vs AK type hands but I can try to avoid pushing Jx/Qx hands and rather play suited connectors where Im more likely to have two live cards instead of getting totally dominated.

I also have a type of scenario where I see that I lose alot of my tourny equity. The following scenario is from 9-table SNG. It's when you have AK-AJs, TT, JJ and maybe even QQ type hands and the blinds are typically 50-100. You havent had the chance to double up or earn chips prior in the tournament so you're between 1200-1500 chips leaving you with 12-15BB. At this point there is between 7-9 people left.

Im aware of the above scenario is a bit general but it's these kind of spots that im uncertain about. Sometimes im even down at 10bb and ill push from any position with AQ, often I get called and busted. When im between 12-15BB I often 2,5-3 x BB, get one caller, I miss the flop and C-bet. He calls or pushes me all in and Im forced to check-fold. Leaving me with <10 BB.
I c-bet 90% of the time here no matter what the flop is because im in a position where my game is turned into a push/fold type game after this hand if I check/fold or cbet check/fold. If i win the flop with a cbet i'll altleast have some room to play afterwards. I said 90% because the opponent often donksbet into the flop where I just have to fold if I totally missed.

Should I;
A) Continue doing as i mentioned in the scenario above, its the correct play?
B) Push with these type of hands from any position?
C) Only play these type of hands from position?
D) C-bet higher or/and second barrel?
E) Other?

I got some nice reviews on my video last week from Jamiestaples and Basemetal! Thank you very much!

My ROI% this week is about the same as last week. And my finish distribution hasn't changed all that much.

Previous week: 09april to15.april
1st: 11%
2nd: 12%
3rd: 18%
4th: 17%
5th: 8%
6th: 12%
7th: 12%
8th: 4%
9th: 6%

ROI= -0,7
Games: 150

This week: 16.april to 22.april
1st: 12%
2nd: 11%
3rd: 15%
4th: 16%
5th: 11%
6th: 9%
7th: 11%
8th: 8%
9th: 5%

ROI=-2,5
Games: 131

I think I got lot to improve on just being more aware of the current situation im in. I shouldnt have all those finishes at 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th place. They cant all be AA vs KK-QQ

Every guide or forumpost about SNG's they talk about how easy it is to get started as a winning player if you start out with STT. All beginners with a basic understanding will be a winner at the micro SNG! blablabla

That makes STT incredible frustrating for me. Im currently 380games in at pokerstars, mostly 1,5$ STT. And my ROI is 3,2 at 1,5$ games. With an overall at -9,5. Meaning im down 41$ from my initial bankroll of 200$.

My finish distribution are
1st: 19
2nd: 18
3rd: 31
4th: 26
5th: 13
6th: 19
7th: 18

I just find that 75% of the players, even at the micro's, play super tight. When the push/fold game starts we are usually 7 players left. And this push/fold game actually last quite long. Because many of the players push from any postion with others players usually respecting their pushes. Which means that when I'm in position there is usually a guy that has allready pushed before me and I then have to fold most of my range.
This forces me to push mediocre+ hands from out of position and that usually ends up with me losing in 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th place!

I made a video of my efforts at the 3,5$ tables. Sorry for my bad accent and mumbling. Im not used to talking to myself infront of the computer haha. I appriciate any feedback you might have!

 I put in some volume to the 1,5$turbo's last night and it's finally a gametype/stake im winning at. Current bankroll 189$, so im still -11$. But with this rate I will be up and above 200$ in no time.

I'll try to grind myself up to a total bankroll of 350$ at the 1,5$ turbos. It's kinda boring but hey. With a average ROI of 20% on 1,5$turbos I should be at approx 350$ after 400games. Should take me about 1-3weeks depending. Then i'll atleast have 100buy ins for 3,5$games. If i discover some major leaks and get them plugged I might take stabs at 3,5$ earlier.

I just moved down from 3dollar to 1dollar buy ins.

The reason is that Im currently losing(-15%ROI) at 3$ level and I cant seem to figure out why. Might aswell figure out how to win at the 1$ level before I play at higher stakes.

Made some posts to the forum and got some feedback that explained my losses in a couple of my games, but still alot of unanswered questions. Maybe i'll make a video of a session. Hopefully i'll get some helpfull comments.
