Secret HQ Poker Forums

Ah, finally found this thread, im a little slow

So my experience goes back, been playing for a living for more or less 4 years, and up until last year i didnt have lot of structure, but have always been a solid winner in the 10-20/15-30 games with shots taken regularly on 30-60 50-100, and a few times as high as 100-200/200-400 with varying success. Last year i structured better, becoming more aware of bankroll management and therefore grinded (as far as me goes anyway) a lot of 15-30, this beeing my primary game of last year, experimenting with some HUHU and at the end of the year moving up if the games were good.

My strenghts would be hand reading, valuebetting thin, playing aggressive and i think balanced. IDK really, naming my strenghts isnt really one of my strenghts

As for weaknesses go, i do tend to get a bit tilty from time to time which in turn results in spewy plays. Also i play a very loose aggressive style, sometimes a bit too loose.

I am ordering the Koss headset posted in this thread so will be ready for skype or W/E, and also i would love to be in a homegame!

Also, im currently waitng for my new harddrive to arrive so i can get my computer set back up to my usual grinding status, how far away from starting this thing up are we? Btw the links for teamviewer and skype doesnt work

Oh and by the way, if any of you know a good headset for Ipods that aren`t huge and possibly even go around the neck instead of on top of the head, i would love a tip!

put me in for a homegame but I am out on Friday night and this Thursday I couldn't do it until after 8:30pm CST. However, tomorrow night works best for me but probably not enough time to get this going.

If I'm not available when it works for you guys, play on.

Sounds like me, deepsquat, pygmy, nfinity, and sirocko so far for a homegame. We have enough to at least try and set up a time and place.

I know most of you from FT - Sirocko, u okay with FT? Who is good for tomorrow night? Who would prefer Thus or this weekend?

Im down for both FTP and Stars as far as homegames go, and i def want in

I suggested the homegame golden

FTP is great for me, I can probably do tomorrow night if it's sort of late. How about sometime around 9:00 CST?

We can play low stakes, 1/2 or 2/4 maybe.

sorry about that. 9cst tomorrow works for me.

and psycho too - sry

Homegame attempt:
vcats
deepsquat
pygmy
nfinity
sirocko
psychobingo
golden dorado - alternate

Can't make this one guys, sorry. Living in Japan makes weekdays tough for me to schedule around the time difference. I will like to watch it though! Sounds like a tough lineup. I am pretty sure I would be the fish anyway!

I live in Europe so theres obviously a time difference, in how many hours prox will the game start? Its morning time where i live now, 7.30ish

Sorry for not contributing anything meaningful so far, I'm quite busy with real life issues right atm. Enjoy the homegame, everyone!
Will probably have some more time on my hands very soon, though.

Could we agree on a standard timezone to use for this group? All these US timezones are so confusing CST = EST-1 = GMT-7?

Anyone interested in doing a sweat session Nfinity style? I'm thinking next weekend, hopefully my Sennheiser headset will arrive in time.

Re HU rake: You can def obtain a good win rate @ 3/6 (but not lower than that imo), but anyone playing 3/6 should be looking to make the jump to 5/T and higher as soon as possible. It's OK to be quite aggressive at taking shots as long you game select some and retain enough $$ to keep grinding 3/6 if things go awry. The opposition at 5/T and even 8/16 is just as bad as at limits below that, as long as you avoid the pro grinders.

As a maxbetter I can't really offer any advice

Don't despair, DJ. Even maxbetters can get qualified professional help

Sorry guys, I am out on Thursday night (EST). It looks like you have enough to get it going though. One thing I will say is if you only get 5 I'd highly suggest sitting at a 'name' table on FTP rather than murdering the one poor soul who sits down unawares.

I suggest EST, simply because that's what Pokerstars and FTP use as their own clocks, that way everyone has a convenient way to know exactly what time things are going on.

As far as the homegame, I could do it tonight possibly, but I think it would be a lot easier to plan for Saturday or Sunday, everyone should be up and about playing sometime during that time, it seems more convenient.

This. Im sick and will be going to be now. If not just do it without me, even though i pushed for it
