The DOHHHHHHH Diary

edited April 2019 in Poker Chat

Sky have agreed to trial my idea of introducing fast paced heads up sit and gos. As a condition, I will be writing a diary, with my results and general thoughts on the games which have been introduced to the sit n go lobby this morning.

Hu sngs aren't for everybody, so this hyper version is going to appeal to a niche market.

1) Turbo dym players.

2) Action junkee's

3) Cash 4 points grinders & priotrity club hopefuls. 

Theres a common mis-conception amongst poker players, that short stacks and fast blinds leads to "bingo poker".

The "sit and DOH" HU sngs, allow for a period of 8 minutes play, before the average stack drops below 10xbb. In online poker, that is still alot of hands. 

Admittedly, the variance is gonna be high, but with low rake, and high volume, so can your ROI. 

They are also fun, and will allow for rapid accumilation of poker points, to push myself, and others towards priority.

--------------------------

The aim of this diary is to record my results throughout the trial period, and hopefully show people that these games can be profitable.

I'd urge everyone to have a shot at playing a few of these, if you have a spare 15 minutes, in the hope of converting you'z into HU hyper action junkeeeees!

Anyway good luck if you decide to try them.

Hopefully they'll be around for a while.

P.S, the name certainly was not my idea! ;)

    Especially with such a high variance game... plus I think it's ideal for the people who are really strong with their HUs game and mine needs a bit of work so I'll wait til my BRs a bit bigger before I give them a go.

    The level they have decided to trial it at is nothing to do with me folks, I just suggested the structure.

    I guess they plonked it between the higher levels and the micro stakes.....

    All being well there will be a game for every bankroll in the lobby within a week or so!

    Goodluck with it chap.

    I will probs start playing some of these actually. I need something to improve my rakeback, it's woeful now I'm only playing MTT's, I play 5 a night, so when it drops to 3 I'll probs fire a couple up.

    Just played 3 lost 2, but love the re-match idea. Your opponent has requested a re-match? How can you say no to that!

    They will ONLY be @ the £5 level during the Trial Period.

    If they prove popular, Buy-Ins will be extended to cover the usual levels. If they are not, they will be dropped. Simples.

    The name? Course I thought of it. Anyone wanna 4 bet me on that?

    I was curious what it was about :S decided to have one shot, since i got my free £5 from sky poker the other day i figured no harm in using it to test the HU SNG, the speed of the game suits my style of play, but clearly im not gonna be playing em all the time cus i am not rolled for it,

    Ok, just to get this thread back on the "diary track" I'll log in a V small, disrupted session that I've had over the last hour or so.

    Obv talking alot to people on msn/twitter/forum/chatbox about the games, haven't been able to play solidly, but a few results/observations....

    Played 7 games, won 6, lost 1. 

    3 of the 7 games ended within blind level 1 (2 minutes), and only 1 game went beyond the stage where average stack was 10xbb (that was the one I lost).

    7 games played.

    Total profit = £23.25.

    Total Points = 21

    Need to eat now, can't have KFC going out of business just coz sky have introduced a new sng.

    Be back in half an hour to play a proper solid session, maybe even multi table! :S

    So you've only lost 1 out of 7 and that was me!

    Great result for me then :)

    Yeah I was shocked that all your other games finished in the first level considering it only last 2 minutes. I know it's short stacked but not so short stacked that you need to just be flipping for it. There is still a bit of play in the game. Good fun.

    EDIT: Just re-read and they didn't all finish in the first level, but still, that's quite fast. I think you deffo have a bit more time than people would think in these. Like I was a bit worried to say the least when you had me down to about 325 in our game but one double up and you're in the driving seat.

    Just to pre warn everyone if your running well eg. winning alot of them keep playing but minute swings the other way stop for the session as variance is a killer in them

    this is based on another site but exact same format so will be similar but hopefully more bad players ;)

    Hypers are fun and good way to boost BR if you can avoid the high variance 100 times better then turbo husngs which for me seem to last a life time (short attention span)... i played around 700 of these on ps in 3 days and ran pretty good in them until obviously variance kicked in and i went on a 17 game downswing ($250) even managed to teach JJ a couple of lessons ;,(but still ended in a decent profit overall) but will definitely play a tonne of these when im back from DTD the weekend
