Default Re: Crushing live 2/4 tables

Here is one theory:

In 2/4, you probably love calling with A-4 offsuit UTG. 'cause its only $2.

In 10/20, you throw it away like you should.

The other theory is that he's played about 20-30 hours of 10/20 and perhaps another 20-30 hours of 2/4 and doesn't realize that his sample-size is virtually meaningless.


At 30-35 hands an hour this is still in the 1k total hands range at each level which is EXTREMELY small.


Most people (especially many live players) don't realize how long the 'long-run' really is and think that after playing 5 hours they can get an idea for what their win-rate is.



Many of those who complain that they just "can't win at such-and-such level" probably are frustrated after 10 hours of losing.
Many of those who think they are "easily beating the games at such-and-such level" came to this assumption after 20 hours of decent cards.
