View Full Version : Can a winning player send me their last 200 hands?

I'm still fairly new at .5/1. I've only put in about 20K hands and am running about -1.2bb/100. Luckily with bonus and casinowhoring i'm up $2100 in 5 months, but it obviously could be better with a positive winrate. I don't have PokerTracker as I feel I am playing a solid game and just want to break even to maximize my bonusclearing...I don't have any goals to move up as bonuswhoring already provides a decent income from my hobby.

I don't know if this is variance or if I really am a -1/100 player. I feel I get sucked out on an inordinate amount of times. Tonight for instance I was down $20 and these can be attributed to losing three seperate $10 pots where someone hit their 2 outters on the river. Anyways noone wants to hear a sob story.

What I'd like to get is for some long term winners to send me their hand histories - like last 200 or so hands so I can see where I'm losing the 1 or 2 BB's per 100 hands. Just PM me if you are interested - I'll post specific hands where I don't understand the plays (I'd make sure it was annonymous to the player). It's one thing to go over posts on the ML forum but I want to see a starting session from start to end to see where I'm leaking/missing on opportunities....

If you have $2100, you have more than enough to pick up PT. That should be mandatory by now.

Why not get PT, read the forums, post some hands, get better. Then move up.

With $2100 you should be playing at the $3/6 tables. If you are playing a solid game, you can maximize your profit.

Yea I'm bankrolled for it, but right now i'm not breakeven at .5/1 so I don't think that's a good idea

Well I do read posts and have posted plenty of hands and have improved greatly but I just don't see myself playing any higher than say 2/4 as I am making risk free money whoring at .5/1. If I can achieve about 2bb/100 at .5/1 then I'll move up to 1/2

I just wanted to bump this thread from about a week ago.

I went and got PT and d/l'd about 8000 hands and immediately saw that I was folding too much on the river, too tight all around (14.8% vpip) and not blind stealing enough. At that point I was about -1.2 bb/100 as per my PT. 2000 hands later and I'm just under breakeven after a very succesful bonus clear at Paradise and other sites (-.2 bb/100 overall). So to summarize....

1. Poker Tracker is worth the 55 bucks

2. When people say 20K, 30K is short term they are not kidding as my win rate has shifted so dramatically in 2000 hands.

1. Long term -1.7 BB at .5/1 is pretty dang bad, considering the players.

2. We all have horrible streches short run, I dropped 55 BB at .5/1 in about my last 200 hands for a lovely -27.5 BB / 100

3. People often throw around 10K hands as a good size and it typically is, however I've had 10K runs where I do 4.8 BB/100 and 10K runs where I did like 0.38 BB / 100, so even that can vary pretty big.

4. You must be a good bonus whore and have discipline. My bankroll is only $2200 after about 9 months, I say that because

A. Once I actually started turning a profit, my first $1500 was pulled completely out of my bankroll and put back into my savings to pay for my earlier "tution" to online poker (yuck)

B. I don't casino whore at all.

Yea about 60% of my profit was from casinos and 40% from poker. Now it's almost all poker as I try to clear about $450 in bonuses a month.

I’ll send you the last 200 hands where I tilted away like 80 big bets. Yay or nay?
