Volume is the key to overcoming variance on hypers. Ive recently gone from £30 up to £600 playing 5rs and then down to £400, when I hit a downswing I tend to switch disciplines either to cash or mtts. I dont have a bankroll as such just deposit out of income, but never put more than a few hundred quid down so I can still eat which is more important than poker ! You just missed out on the christmas bonanza, I have found this time to be my most profitable over the few years I have been playing on sky. This year cash has been good to me. Posted by ACEGOONER
Of course the more you play if you have an edge the more that will show through in your profits. I suppose a bad run isn't that bad if you have already made 20 times your money! some of these documentaries you see about people putting every last penny they have into poker and losing their house and having nothing to eat is just a joke. Unless you get to the point where you are playing massive stakes and living from the game then there is no need for that kind of crazy behaviour. I seem to get bored when playing cash.
Another decent strategy in these is because im limping a lot in the 15/30 level at the 25/50 level i can limp big with like 1010 upwards and alot of the time thell jam as they see it is weakness and jam to pick up the blinds. I know limping is not how to play normal poker but i think it can work very well in these games if you use it in the right way. There are some well known pros who adapt this strategy heads up like Gus Hansen and Sam Trickett they limp pretty much every single button.
I used to play loads of these and i think it is possible to have an egde in these even tho the varience can be crazy. Like Lambert says lots of people in these dont know how to play a stack size. I play a different strategy in these from a lot of people but it works for me. min raising at 10/20 then at 15/30 i basically limp pretty much every button. I think limping is a decent strategy when we get to 15/30 as il limp then min bet a lot of flops and just take the pot down whereas if i min raise my cbet will have to be bigger i found limping at this level worked out quite well for me. Then when you get to the 20/40 level its basically allin or fold i will be shoving loads at this stage. Also at the 15/30 level you can steal a lot of chips when they limp if they limp and i have a hand like,j10, q10 il jam. Your edge in this game will not be postflop poker it will be your shoving ranges and calling ranges. Posted by bearlyther

Hahaha he is actually right. Didn't play much today because I got bitten by a mosquito and it got infected and I had to go to the hospital here in Colombia and they injected me in my backside lol! But from the games I did play today limping definitely seems the way to go. When you raise, all the opponent has to do is re-raise a lot and it puts you on the back foot. So tomorrow I'm going to play more and start limping for sure!
