Three quad hands in an hour(low content)

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? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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

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. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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

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 · #9 03-01-2005, 12:57 PM

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. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

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. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] That's right, I only made 50 cents after playing for 6 hours. hehe
