My 180 man staked adventure

[Donkathon]

So last week was just an epic spin up session when I spun a few k over two ipoker skins & actaully cashed out

The week only got better when Laois Hammer approached me & offered a staking & coaching deal

Obviously I snapped his arm off & I even offered to fund the games & give him a free % as a fee for coaching but nope he raised & offered to stake me $250 to play 100 x $2.50 Turbo 180 mans

So here I am, Started Monday & as of yesterday played just 20 games
I'm playing very very short sessions just playing 4 tournament then taking breaks

Have had some nice results already & thanks to them I'm now only a $18.06 liability to Laois Hammer by cashing for $231.94 total already

Going to update this by the 20 games I think, so not to often

[sligoboi]

G'luck. Run goot

[Loopz]

great stuff gl u2

[A_CitizenErased]

GL. Keep up the run good.

[Donk Magnet]

gl lads hope it works out

[Donkathon]

Have to say that although its only been two days the coaching has been deadly with a not so few do's & dont that I obviously just didnt get before

Hopefully I can learn how to play poker through all this

[BrianN]

Good luck with them. Played a few of these myself and they are fun games. A lot of gamble involved at the end

[tipp86]

Think you needed this discipline good luck with it.

[Donkathon]

Its been hurting me playing this strategy but it obviously works & sticking to it as much as possible (Few slip ups but for the most part I've been good)

[corigi]

Best of luck with it...

[Donkathon]

Its stuff like this that just makes me cry

[Donkathon]

So today was another great day

I played to late last night & got tired & played the worst hand I think I have ever played the last game of last night

10 left & I had almost twice the average in chips & I make stupid move against I think he was the 2nd in chips with about 50k aswell (I had I think 58k) which crippled me & put me out a couple of hands later in 10th for a stupid min cash

This hands really got to me, (No I'm not posting the hand cause I feel sick thinking of it)

So anyway played 19 games had only the 2 min cashes & on the 20th I ship my 2nd in 38 games

I'm posting my pt3 graff now but I am still playing game # 40 so might get more of a cash aswell

I can now transfer back Laios Hammer's original $250 Stake leaving $264.37 in my account with only $150 need to play out the final 60 games

So were already $114.37 GTD profit

[A_CitizenErased]

Doing great John.

You are in good hands with David anyway.

Have you read Shawn Deebs guide on twoplustwo aswell? Handy peice on mastering these.

[Donkathon]

No but not going to be playing for the rest of the day as I've got to head out in a few hours & do some work but will check it out

[mfoleyAA]

Gl for the last 60 games, looks like you have mastered that level so far...

[chips1234]

shaun deebs guide is old and is for the old 4.40/22 regular speed 180's no point in reading it, dave knows everythign you need to know and reading it would be a waste of time imo

[theshortstack]

Best of luck with this and what chip said Laois obv knows these games and has a great turbo game your in good hands. I'm not looking forward to updating mine at the end of the month i'm on something like a 300+ games downswing lol so sik.

[islander32]

maybe you should post your own guid for crushing these based on ur experience so far..
they're not part of my immediate plans for playing but it might help someone following this thread... gl with this ...nice work

[corigi]

No but not going to be playing for the rest of the day as I've got to head out in a few hours & do some work but will check it out

What time it finish up at? ragin I had to come home and work

[A_CitizenErased]

Thanks for this as I had not realised.

Would love a proper guide to work off.

[japeye]

glgl keep it up, I'm on the downswing end of things at the mo, soul destroying to say the least.

[Donkathon]

What time it finish up at? ragin I had to come home and work

2am, just in the ddor so going to play 4 then off for my beauty sleep

I can 100% HIV positively say I'm nowhere near crushing these,
When/ if I run over 1k of these @ 15-20% ROI then I'll be happy but as of now I've just poxed a few results really

1st x 2
2nd x 1
5th x 2
10th x 1
12th x 1

& about half a dozen finishing just outside the money i.e. 19th - 29th

Couldn't possibly reveal Dave's master plans either

I'm sure his that expensive to hire for a few dozen hh reviews & coaching

(Just put refered by Donkathon on it also )

[Donkathon]

2am, just in the ddor so going to play 4 then off for my beauty sleep

lol only played 2 after all, loaded them 1 after another & 1st one I busted 23rd (5 off money)

Absolutely nothing wrong with that shove Donkathon. One thing of note tho, if he is opening for 3x with blinds that big when you're 3 handed, you can assume that he's pretty lolbad. I hope you're taking notes on these guys

[Bubbleking]

I dont think the shove is bad but ICM prob says fold?

[Donkathon]

Thanks for the replies lads but I'm still not happy with the ship

Think I could have picked a better spot is all

[Donkathon]

Late starting today so going to try wiz through 8-12 of these today

[Donkathon]

Just finished my little micro session of 4 tournaments

Only one cash for 5th ,

Ran my ship on the button (I had Q-8 suited) into sb's rockets

[Donkathon]

Now back to the grind, decided to treat myself to a new table image aswell





Current balance = $342.14
(Have shipped Laios Hammers original $250 stake back already)
(50 games left so only need $125 = $217.14 Gtd profit half way through)

Well here it is in all its glory

100 Games Played 4 of which were $2.20 mtt's:

1st x 5 @ $123.19 = $615.95
2nd x 1 @ $82.08 = $82.08
3rd x 3 @ $48.83 = $146.49
5th x 3 @ $26.67 = $80.01
Mins x 3 @ $4.92 = $14.76
Mtt x 1 @ $6.28 = $6.28 (Only mtt cash)

Cashed in a total of 16 games for a total of $945.57 cashes

Total entries paid $254 (I used the extra $4 in re-buys in a mtt)

Total Profit $695.57

Minus original stake of $250 = $695.57 /2 = $347.79

$347.79 + $250= $597.79

Returned to Laois Hammer= $597.79
My Profit = $347.78


End graff

[Donk Magnet]

well done john

All I can say is if you wanna build a decent roll keep playing the 2's and move up as you get enough of a roll but put in the volume more and learn to mass table well played sir keep it going

Yeah Laois Hammer has said he'll go for a round 2 so I'm going to do that but going to be taking 2 weeks off first as I've to head over to london next week & need a new laptop aswell but definitly sticking @ the $2.50 180's

Listen to him and take everything in because your getting coaching that you'll use for a long time these games are easy when you put the time in and with daves help you'll crush sooner than you think
