Day 5 of testing out a short stack cash strategy. Multi-tabling on Full Tilt
I ran across this Beginner strategy for No-Limit Texas Hold'em. This was compiled by one of my twitter followers. I also follow them.
This is basically a short stack strategy and can be applied to cash, SNG, or MTT play.
Day 1 was single table on Walker Poker 10NL - Down $2.50
Day 2 was single table on Walker Poker 10NL - Up $5.23
Day 3 was double-table on Walker Poker 10NL and 4 NL mixed - Down $1.22
Day 4 was double-table on Full Tilt 10NL - Down $3.87
So, after 4 days I'm down $2.36.
For Day 5 I'm going to try to do a couple of things to the cards on Full Tilt to see if I can get more comfortable going beyond 2 tables.
I jumped in with about 20 minutes left in early morning happy hour. I decided to 4 table and try to maximize the double Full Tilt points. Total I saw 138 hands, earned 12.53 Full Tilt points and was up $1.00.
In this first session I was up $1.40 on one table, even on another table, down $0.10 on one table, and down $0.30 on the last table.
I misread cards on the board once and it cost me $.60. I would have folded the hand had a read the board correctly.
So now I am off to research some card skins to see if I can make the boards clearer to me when I am multi-tabling.
I downloaded a card mod and I think it helps a lot, but it's not perfect. The black for clubs to tend into my limit color vision. I might have to take a shot at making something of my own.
So back to 4-tabling NL on Full Tilt for the last 1:15 of Happy Hour.
And down on all 4 tables. Went broke on two pair versus set on one table minutes before the end end of happy hour. On the other tables I was down $0.89, $0.59, and $0.23.
That's down $3.64 for this sesson versus up $1.00 in the morning session.
As of right now I'm down $5 overall using this srtategy. I'll probably give this strategy one more session and see where it goes, then I'll look at some modifications to it or using a different strategy.

ReplyDeleteJason, That's a fair question and that really has a long enough and involved enough of an answer that I'll deal with it in a full blog post.
