[Q] Sample sizes & Winratesby DarkDevildog, April 15
My question is what is a good enough hand sample to find out a true(ish) winrate. On my new database I've played ~80k hands over 1 1/2 months and PT3 has me running at 2.08 which is 4bb I'm assuming. I'm trying to be realistic here and want to know how many more hand I should play before I "accept" my winrate.
i dunno what's going on, lol @ my life, will give it another shot tomorrow I suppose

where the redline changes directions there has definitely been a change in my play.. can't really describe why, honestly, but I just started playing a lot weaker (Folding to more cbets, not continuing bluffs, 3betting less type of stuff). will focus on turning that around and make sure I am playing just 3 tables again until I do so.
hardly played since the 6th but that has kind of been the plan. going to put like 1k hands/day in for the next 5 days to realize my "get to 10k hands 3-4 tabling and re-evaluate" goal
roll 1150 lawl, shipped some more money away, I have a 300 cash bonus from ironman that I will have to buy
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STARS 40-100BB TABLES! Sooooooo many terrible players just feeding me the cash. Went from $350-$510 in three days. Tables still have some of the old 50 bb min regs but the fish make up for the nits' annoyance. Moving up to NL 25 tomorrow. Hopefully this hot streak keeps up .
It seems like the cool thing is to give away private torrent site invites? well ill give some away for free to any LP'ers, demonoid imo is the best torrent site. so lemme know if u want an invite ^^
Torrentleech invites. (It's a great site with everything, for example PC games, PS3/2 games, films, series, music)
Anybody who can PM me some tips on 90man SNGs (hand charts etc) will receive one.
I have 4 available
EDIT: also, if anybody makes a small donation to a charity and posts the confirmation or what not, will recieve one. (Maybe like 5-10$?=))
NOT.
So the shots of 400 nl are not going very well as first i managed to make +6 buy ins,
But then i started running so unbelievably bad that i have lost 5K $ in my last 3 sessions. All sort of rubbish happened. And i actually played good... FML, this shit is getting on my confidence. Need to redeem myself as soon as the seasonal runbad decides to end. How ever i think I will still try to play 400 nl and not move back to 200 nl since i have a little more space on my banroll to drop deeper between the ass cheeks.
Cashing out that is. Made my first 2 cashouts in a year this week, totaling $600, hyuk! I rolled myself 40 BI's for NL50 HU with the intention of getting coaching from f4zi. But we could never get a time scheduled for a lesson so I watched a few HU vids to acclimate myself with the game and just decided to take a shot on my own, I mean if I kill it, then who needs coaching? FTP only allows for $600 deposit at a time so even though I had allocated $2000 for it, thats all I ever had in my account. I grinded up to $1388 when I made the sequential cashouts, namely just because I wanted to see what I felt like to cashout for once again lol. Figured might as well make it $600 so I'm technically freerolling the rest, although I made sure never to actually look at it in that manner.
Of course it was only a matter of time before FTP showed their true colors. I was simply in run hot mode at the start because I hadnt deposited in awhile. After 4000 hands it was time for FTP's auto-balance system to spread the wealth to other fish, and I promptly lost the remaining money with nut flushes, flopped sets, 2 pairs, and several TP hands all to runner runner this and that. With $150 left I sat at a NL200 table to chase it back, sat around for about 40 hands when this happened:

Of course he's running 44/41 with a 37% 3bet rate, and im running 18/15 so clearly im raising lightly UTG and he should 3bet JT oop and proceed to stack off vs an ace with 2nd pair no kicker. I never have a hand here, even 40 hands into the game, gosh I'm so transparent.
So since I was never able to get any HU coaching which was the entire basis of wanting to play again, I think after buying 2 cars last month I'm gonna pay off some debts, save a little for a vacation, work my shitty job who continues to lay people off when they're not voluntarily quitting to work for our competitors, and just see where this crazy life takes me!
And if there are any solid HU regs still willing to coach, feel free to PM me and maybe I'll have the heart to do it again.
pokerstars new table update rocksby K40Cheddar, April 13
So I just found out today that pokerstars decided to change their table structure. After downloading the new software, I found that the new available games are 20-50 bb tables, 40-100 bb tables, and 100-250 bb tables with antes. I gotta say that this new update is absolutely amazing! Stars used to have a huge problem with shortstackers, people buying in for 20 bb. It got REALLY annoying trying to avoid these guys because when they raise it makes things like set mining irrelevant because the implied odds aren't high enough. Glad they fixed that.
I'm normally a reg at NL 10 50 bb min tables, and although I've been profitable the stakes were difficult on some days and nights due to the grinders hanging around playing extremely tight. It was kind of tough to find some fish. Now with these 40-100bb tables, all the medium stack fish are ALL OVER THE PLACE. I mean it's like a thanksgiving dinner on the tables now. I hit a flop of Js Jc 4h and hold Qd Js and get jammed on by a guy with 5c 7s. I mean wtf is that? Not complaining because its free money for me.
I'm looking forward to playing on these 40-100 bb min tables. Based on only about 1300 hands, I've gotten so many favorable all in situations that I'm pretty confident that I'm going to be rolled for NL 25 in a couple of weeks, assuming I don't run too bad.
Can someone answer a few questions for me ?by try, April 13
Best answer I'll give $5 on full tilt.
I have some leaks I wanted to fix. Keep in mind I'm not looking for answers regarding reads but rather vs unknown players. Seems my leaks are simply calling raises preflop here are my questions.
When should I call a raise with suited connectors.
When should I call a reraise with 1010 - QQ
What should I call a three bet with.
When should I call a raise with low pocket pairs.
When should I call a raise with AX suited.
And vs unknown is this a good range?
AA AK KK
AQ QQ JJ
1010-22
suited connectors 34+
KJ AJ KQ suited in pos only in non raised pots.
If you take the time to answer appreciate your time.
