Diary £10 - £100 by April

SevenChips

Lets goooooooooooo Heads Up diaries! ))

Good luck.

What type of HU are you playing? Huge ask to turn £10 into £100 without taking crazy BRM risks, maybe that's your plan I dunno but it'll end in Bustoooooo.

Posting hands, use Mozilla (IE used to be ok for me but wouldn't work this morning)

That's a tough ask with only a week to do it. Good luck, if you can avoid an early downswing you're in with a chance.

£10.00 -------> £17.40 is an excellent start, well played.

DOHHHHHHH

Hey Seven, was hard trying to talk to you in the chat last night, when some of my games were lasting <2 mins it's hard to keep track.

Did you get my PM? I can't remember if you said you did. I don't have a reply anyway.

Nice one Seven, just be very careful with the whole BR thing cos it's very easy to play brilliantly and still lost a load in a row.

 with your challenge sevenchips,

If you're playing HU games where the variance is going to be high I'd think playing with just 10 buy ins is gonna be pretty dangerous and you will most likely go broke with just one half decent bad run.

However as this seems (at least to me) like a not REALLY serious challenge then you can probz do what you want and try and spin it up real quick by running like god early, no BRM etc.

If you want to survive though and hopefully NEVER reload then you need to tighten up the rules a little to between 2-5%. 

Good luck mate

Varinace is a tricky subject but basically it explains the luck factor that plays a lot in poker.

You can have positive or negative variance, positive being that you're getting more lucky than normal and negative meaning you're getting more unlucky than usual.

So with HU games you can very easily lose multiple games in a row and fairly rapidly too despite playing perfectly. 

With HU SnG's it oftens comes down to 50-50's or 60-40's etc where you're never a massive favourite which makes winning consistenly quite tough.

For me personally even as a recreational player I would want at least 30 BI's to feel confident due to the large swings you can experiance.

Dont agree here, playing the standerd HU SnG's, the varience really isnt that high compared to any other format. The quality is pretty poor aswell at these stakes, so you can just value bet all ur good hands for the win.

Think ppl say the varience is high in HU SnG's but that refers to hypers n turbos, shouldn't really be much of an issue at the standerd levels. 

Dudeskin8

Oh yeah thought it was Hypers. 

In standard defo less variance, would still like at least 20 BI's though for a 5% base limit.
