PlauZee's HU SNG Poker Blog

Those who haven’t tried it yet – do it! The App “PokerStars mobile” is just awesome! Especially for playing HU SNGs it’s a lot of fun and finally a good reason to get an iPad soon.
Beside those ZOOM games turbo and hyper HU SNGs will be favorite games for people using PokerStars mobile. Let’s hope it will attract even more players to our game of choice!

A lot of sites recently wrote about the sick rumors PokerStars buying FullTiltPoker. If this really happens it will change the market for sure. Let’s just hope players will get some long-term benefits as well beside finally getting paid their FullTilt cash.
If you haven’t read about it yet, please have a look at the page of PokerNews and reviews from Casino.org.

When those fishies at HoldemManager instantly realized the ZOOM version for HM2 it was obvious all those existing bugs and especially performance problems would never be solved. If you try to run HM2 for HU SNGs you instantly feel like using a beta version, but not an $117,50 worth “new and better version”. Yes, I really paid that much for that dumb version which you can get for like $30 now – what is still like $50 too much for helping them finding bugs every single day.

I recently asked them for the switch back from HM2 to HM1. It needed about a week, but – yes: my old version of HM1 is re-activated and I got a full cash back of the $117.50 I paid. No clue if I’ll ever upgrade to HM2 again, but next time I’ll at least not pay that much as I did, again.

Cheers!

If you just read the title and saw the graph I can appease you, it’s not a bad April fool…

Back to poker, back to grinding. The exams are passed, the great time in Slovenia is over as the very long poker break is. It’s time to finally play some decent(!) sessions next days and weeks again. Recently, I didn’t do very well as you can see from my Sharkscope stats on the right which I reset some weeks ago – not cuz of bad results, but to have a cut and even more motivation to generate a new great looking graph. I failed pretty hard obviously, but let’s see if I can change it back into the black very soon again.
I still grind $60-$200 HU SNGs which just fit perfectly to my actual time, life, skill and whatever is important for choosing the grinding buyin.

I wish you best of luck for today’s grinding and as I just wrote at facebook:
Please rememeber not to cash out more than $10k before starting to play some highstakes HU SNGs if you win the Sunday Million today, which I found at 2+2 and other forums like the Cardschat poker forum.
(–> 2+2 thread about the fish)

After a longer break due to some exams I finally went to Slovenia visiting Matej, mtvdeuem, Cepon and his girlfriend Tamara for some days. Me and my two friends didn’t stand long there, but we spent very very great days in the awesome country!
Thx a lot again to Tamara and Matej for all the great impressions and the funny time we spent together!

There are running a lot of poker promos right now, not only the 1% cashback promo by Skrill, but a lot of others which you can check out at German poker sites.com.

Some impressions of the funny days in Slovenia…

mtvdeuem just agreed to a bet that he’ll make $50k+ within one month at 200s & 300s super-turbo HUSNGs only. A lot of regs took action, mostly with 2:1 against him. If he’ll win the bet, he’ll make $50k +$10k rakeback +$25k with sidebets. Next month he “plans” to make $100k+ with $500 hyperturbos only.
He made very much with those games recently, but is it really possible to have any real chance there?!

gl Matej, but the only reason I didn’t took any action against you was that I really like you man…

Check out his blog at www.mtdeuem.com!

I just realized I haven’t written anything personal this year so far. Sure, there’s not much to blog about when playing those tiny micros where aren’t any big swings or stories I could write like I had in past years. I write some short news and stuff at my facebook page when I’m too lazy to blog real posts. So, check it out and keep updated that way!

Seriously, I was just about to write a lame post with the title “1st roundup of 2012″ with those stats at the right talking how great I am beating micros with 6% ROI including hypers and 7% ROI for those turbos… *ZzzZzzZzz*…

…when suddenly one of my students just told me a funny story and that’s why I had to change the title, as well as the main topic of this post:

vladxxxro: i have the canadian mafia following me
vladxxxro: a fking douche sits me everytime and he put 5$ bounty on me
vladxxxro: for every canadian who beats me
vladxxxro: greenbast
vladxxxro: he says he has a hobby to destroy a reg each month
vladxxxro: he wants to make me move down to 15$

Just to point that out: my student didn’t ask me to blog about it, but just allowed I’d do that. I’m sure he could handle that easily himself, beacuse he’s doing very very great and climbed up the limits very fast recently. But… This guy called “greenbast” with average buyin of $47 (lol, even below mine as standard micro reg) is somehow exactly what I was looking for! DON’T TRY TO FK THE FKERS!

Whenever you see “greenbast” sitting in a lobby, please let me know at my facebook-page, so we can have some little fun with this guy. The most epic hands and those who beat him most often will get rewarded with a prize. Please keep track of those games at my facebook-site! Depending on how many going to take part in this, the prize will be one or more free coaching lessons by me – or if some real sharks will join they’ll simply get back their rake back and receive a “WELL DONE BUDDY” at my site.

Gl guys – and don’t take everything too serious! – poker is just a game
