Full ring is another story (you can easily play 5 tables with no HUDs, 6-7 tables with HUDs), but I thought you were a 6-max player.

I mean you can play a lot of tables but your playing abilty goes way down and you play really generic. It kills your profits at 5/10 and higher because those games demand you to make individual reads and plays depending on the specific situation and opponent.

Also in lower stakes you win by mostly sitting and camping and this doesnt require very much active play and so you can play a gazillion tables. At higher stakes to win you must be active and so you have to play fewer tables to win.

Stay tuned.....

The plan is to try and make $75,000 between the time I finished my exams a week and a half ago and the time I have to go back to college in October. So far since I finished I've played almost 29,000 hands of 200 and 400NL 6max and I'm up $9700. Hopefully I can keep this up.

I can't remember the stuff that happened in the last couple of days so I'm just going to call this day 9 and go from here. Wish me luck please!!

My BR just after I finished my exams was about $9000 I think. So I have to get to $84,000. Here we go...

I watched the first half of your video. The only things I can think of are mostly pre-flop oriented:

1) Raising Axo on the small blind in a battle of the blinds is a leak imo. Sometimes I just call sometimes I fold. Its not that strong of a hand out of position.

2) Raising 22 utg to 4x BB. I personally limp with it or fold. 22 is only good in large multi-way pots or when you have position on 1 person. By raising 4x BB utg you are just creating a large pot out of position, and setting yourself to get 3-bet. Not a good situation imo. Sometimes I also fold 22 utg if the table is very aggressive pre-flop

3) Raising A7o on the cutoff after a limper on the hijack. Again I think this is going to spew more often or not. Just not a strong enough hand to warrent raising. If it was suited I might. But this I just fold.

4) Your opening pre-flop raises are all to 4xBB regardless of position. I think that you should range from 3xBB to 4xBB depending on a number of factors. The further you are out of position (i.e. the closer you are to UTG) the more you should raise. This is because you want to be 1 on 1 generally and there are more people left to act to still when you raise UTG vs. when you raise on the button.

Another thing to consider when raising is what are the odds of being 3-betted pre-flop. If you are dealing with habitual 3-betters (not something you see much at 400 nl or 600 nl, but at a 1000 nl you will see at more and at 2000 nl it is commonplace), I raise to 3xBB on button as opposed to 3.5xBB. A minute difference really but the idea is that I risk less when they 3-bet but if I have a monster (like AA) I tend to get their stack either way. However if the blinds are more passive pre-flop, I try to get them to put more money in. Im still not 100% sure on this concept as ive only figured recently playing a ton 1000 nl 6-max.

I liked your post-flop play a lot. Its very similar to mine.
