is it the rake?

[underthegun662]

after three months of playing .50/1 at partypoker i am up an astounding 250 bets. i played just about 1000 hands per day. i am playing winning poker but the results suck. i thought id have a nice bankroll by now and at least be playing 1/2 . my question is the rake killing me down at the .50/1 tables? can you start at such a low level and build your br up? i remember reading something about this a while back. i started to think about this after getting my first rake rebate and it was around $450.

For bankroll building, I highly recommend bonus whoring. I started at $50 back when I registered for 2+2, and I'm up a little over $3k now.

Sounds like you've paid quite a bit in rake. You can pretty easily tell how much of a winning player you are though -- what's your BB/100, and over how many handds? Also, what's your SD?

How do you check your SD?

Sounds like you probably don't have Poker Tracker yet. Download it, buy it, it's worth the money ($55).

[underthegun662]

yeah i dont have pokertracker. everytime i try to install the program my computer will freeze and error message would pop up. it really sucks because i know its an important tool for online poker. is their another type of program just like pokertracker that i can try?
