Didn't bother rebuying cos I was chipped up nicely but did get an add-on. Playing really well all night, and it did help playing against some mighty big fish. Got down to the FT of 8, we were down to 7 at this point (top 3 paid), it was a pretty fast structure to try to finish by midnight, so I had 10-11BBs (think I was 4th in chips), folds round to me in CO, I open jam AQs... folds round to the BB (the worst player in the game by a country mile) who thinks for a bit and then calls for 3/4 of his stack with K3s. Needless to say, the river was a 3
People asked him if he mis-read his cards after calling off like 3/4 of his stack to an open shove with K3s and he said he was looking at me and sensed I had something... so that's why he called with K3s lol.
Great night though, and good cheap fun. Payouts were £100, £50 and £15 which aint too bad for £5 BI and 14 runners. Definitely go again.

Really slacked off from poker recently with that live game last night and lots of chess, will definitely be getting back on the wagon and I'm still confident I can make the 1000 point mark.
I know I never stop chopping and changing, but while I was at my mums over the weekend, her laptop can only handle 1 table, and I didn't wanna 1 table cash, so I ended up playing lots of £5.25 hypers. I know I can beat them, I have done at lower levels and the general standard is really not that much different. So I've been playing alot of them recently.
My bankroll started out at about £280 before I started them and I'm now down to £207 which did hurt a bit. A little of that is down to playing the DTD and the odd bits and bobs, but it's mostly hypers. However, this is only just over a 10BI swing and when I first started these I was running truly horribly, could never win a flip, 60/40, 70/30, nothing lol, so I'm not too shocked/alarmed to be down this much. I know I'm outplaying most of the people I'm coming up against at the mo and am getting it in good and making the right moves in the right spots most of the time. Just had a winning streak of 7 games.
I'm now watching alot of training vids on Hypers just to see if I can find any ways to improve my win-rate because most of what I do is from my own experience and some help from Dohhhhhhh.
Bankroll: £207.72

Edit: I'm up for that ROI challenge by the way for June if you want Dohhhh, or anyone else that wants one over 1000 hypers

Looks like I'll be cruising to getting my 1000+ poker points. Will be happy if I can just get my BR back up to £280 by the end of the month, £10+ of which is gonna come from C4P, so shouldn't be too tricky, variance permitting.
Hopefully by the end of 1000 games, JJ will be back on the straight and narrow.
So 1000 Hypers, starting from 1st June. Good luck both!
What level you gonna be playing for June then?
There really isn't much out there on hypers at all, but I keep looking for vids and even just written guides/ideas abuot them. I've also started looking on other poker forums for the first time ever because I know some of the bigger forums discuss hypers more.

Just wanted to double check what any hyper players think of this river? I checked it to him because I couldn't see how I could get value from anything that I was beating. This an easy check or do you think is this structure there are worse hands that call?
I've removed their name so as not to be nasty but if it helps in your answer, the player was pretty awful, no idea about shoving/calling ranges when short stacked, never ever raised pre, always limped, and limped nearly 100% of hands in first couple of levels (I did play 3 games against him, so did get a good chance to see what his game was like).
However, I did go for another interview on Monday just gone for a much better job, with better prospects. Should hopefully be finding out about that one tomorrow so fingers crossed.
But good luck m8 hope you get it
by the way are you going to have a go at the double your money challenge and how far have you got in it if you have? Also what the attraction with the hypers you keep playing ive not touched them and just wonderd is it worth a look at?
EDIT: I remember that post when I was talking to you about finding work and I KNEW when I posted this up here, you'd post something similar to what you did, or at least be thinking it lol.
Oh well, no luck for yourself finding work yet then?
I don't wanna give too much away to be honest, but the Hypers at a glance seem very gambly to alot of people, but there's alot more play in them than people think. HU SnGs have always been my most profitable format when I played Turbos and I definitely think it's worthwhile sacraficing a small amount off my ROI for a still very beatable HU game where I can get 3 times the amount of games in the same time. So a £1 Turbo if you get 10% ROI you make 10p per game, if you change to Hypers, even if your ROI drops as low as 5%, you're making 5p per game but playing 3 games in the space of 1, so winning 15p in the same time you'd have won 10p AND earning 3 times as much C4P. Tis a swingy beast though.
So I played 34 games and only managed to win 18 of them for a massive £1.50 profit, although I'm happy to just string together as many winning sessions as possible. Also 34 games is 102 poker points, and at 1p per point, that's almost as much as I made this session!

Things were going pretty great so I thought I'd take JJ's advice and just keep on playing until I lost one. So in the end I played 11 games, and won 9 for a nice £32.25 profit. Seems the maniacs come out on Saturday mornings as well as Saturday nights. I will be back for some more tonight

Not counting any chickens yet but I'm looking good to meet my target of getting my BR back up tot he £280 it was before I started hypers and had that horrible run. Only £15 away at the moment if I assume I'm gonna get £10 C4P cos I know I'll easy get to 1000+ points.

Oh well, I played 31 games in the end and won 15 of them so made a loss of £12.75. Still pretty happy with that cos I racked up alot of poker points and I'm still up £20 for the day
So I played 42 games @ 5.25 and made a profit of £19.50, don't suppose anyone can tell me what that is in terms of ROI??
Bankroll: £243.22
Poker Points: 967 (£7.74)
So I'm blatantly gonna break my 1000 poker points target now... might go for 1200 or 1300.
