Bankroll Builder RTHUD and Vista, and a stats update.
Friday, June 6th 2008 4:25 am |
First of all, RTHUD, which I am using for this project until I decide to buy Hold'em Manager out of the bankroll, does not work with Windows Vista. If you are a
I have done little more research on what games are the most profitable, but first we'll do a quick update on the current stats. If yours aren't as good as mine there are lots of reasons for that, but to be honest the biggest reason is that I've been on an awesome hot streak in the 1400 hands I've played for the project so far. My opponents are so bad sometimes that it doesn’t feel like a hot streak, but I know I can’t maintain 68 bb/100, it’s just not possible.
Here is my current profit graph from Hold Em Manager. As you can see I had a little downturn over the last 300 hands or so. For the last hour it really seemed like every hand I ran into a flopped set or had to fold because I missed entirely and my continuation bet was raised. The win rate is still awesome, I’m not concerned at all, it was just annoying.
Here’s the current general stats. You can see my VP$IP is down to 22.7, partly because I’m consciously tightening up and partly because I didn’t get a lot of hands to play tonight. My PFR is up to 10% and climbing, which is entirely a function of my decision over the last few days to raise more often preflop and take control of the hands.
And here are the position stats. I’m losing money in middle position right now, but the sample size is just too small to give that any weight. Other than that everything looks pretty standard, looser as I get in to later position, and making more money in later position as well. There will be some neat stuff to do with position once I get a larger sample size.
Current Bankroll - $121.17
Hands Played – 1,395
Time Spent Playing – approximately 4 hours.
I’m looking in to the profitability of sit and go tournaments too. The number heavily favor sit and go play at the lower levels as the fastest way to build up a bankroll, and I my make the switch for a little while just to build up quickly and get out of the micros. Sit and go play at the micro levels is also much easier to teach, and I could probably whip up some guides that would turn most intermediate players in to real winners right away at the $5 level. I’ll look in to that more before I make a decision.

Fox...will you being doing screen shots in both PT and Holdem Manager? Any chance you moving away for it and using PT3 instead? I have a licensed edition of all of Poker Tracker products, including PT3 and don't want to have to pay for yet another license of something since joining the school. I did read you will be doing a comparison of the two in the coming weeks, guess I am just trying to sublimely plant a seed.
Maybe do a poll and see what majority of the people are using?
Thanks for your blog and training videos Fox! My bankroll is improving. I have no patience for micro-limit lay myself, kudos to you for enduring those levels!
You don't want to build your bankroll too much playing SNGs in my opinion if you are planning to jump to cash. I think MOST players are going to benefit more playing lower level cash games and learning to adapt as they move up the cash limits as opposed to building in SNGs and the jumping into a cash game they are not ready for.
Enjoying the project, but I haven't been able to use any software like Hold Em Manager because I sold my PC and have been using a MacBook Pro now to play at FTP and PokerStars.
Best Wishes,

There goes the neighborhood.
I am looking at multi's and single table SNG play, I'll have to figure out which is more profitable.
