Three quad hands in an hour(low content)

[Dead]

First, can anyone beat this?

The first hand shows why you should always check your stack size. The guy made sixes full on the river and I would have gotten more bets.

But honestly, I have an excuse.

It's HARD 5-tabling Stars .05/.10 on a 17 inch monitor at 1024X768 resolution. Who thinks I should buy a 19 incher so I can do 1600X1200? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jeez, 3 quad hands today in an hour, and I'm still breakeven. F variance. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

It's not hard, per se. Just tiring.

Jeez, 3 quad hands today in an hour, and I'm still breakeven. F variance.

Is there any way you can do anything but break even at those limits? :P Seriously, consider moving to Party 0.5/1.

I want to build my bankroll from the bottom up.

And the loosest and dumbest games are the most profitable games.

Think long run. I'm trying to. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Greg J]

Quads usually don't make much money. Crippled deck and all. Give me a nut flush anyday.

[iluzion]

I'd argue the comment about not being profitable, I made about $100 with a finishing rate of around 12BB/100 over I think 8k hands at those levels.

[Absolution]

I'm assuming that was a joke. These levels are so crushable. The problem is you're getting 10BB/100h, but that is probably less than $1 an hour. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

And the variance.

Yesterday, in the course of about 5-6 hours of playing, I lost 90 BB, made it back + 30, lost it again, and then got it back, finishing up about +5 BB, with a W$SD of 45% for the session. /images/graemlins/wink.gif That's right, I only made 50 cents after playing for 6 hours. hehe

[Absolution]

Trust me I know. I play this level right now as I build my bankroll. My first 3 sessions this week were hugely profitable. The last 2 sessions I think the only way I could win with aces was flopping a boat. On the plus side, they are good at working on your patience and tilt factor.

[davelin]

I got quads back-to-back once on the same table.

[Dead]

The funny thing is that until yesterday, I had only gotten quads once before(with two in the pocket).
