Please tell me you are kidding? If you've broken even over 250-300,000 hands I'd suggest you take up another hobby.

Most other hobbies actually cost per hour, so it's still decent. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

If he was an aspiring pro, yes, but as a hobby - just fine. Who are you to tell him what to do, when you don't even know if winning money is his primary motivation for playing.

28,500 3/6 hands +665$ thats basicly break even.

It is comforting to hear that I am not alone.

Re: How long have you played break even poker?
 

I'm at about 8000 hands @ &lt;1 BB/100.
No idea if it's that I suck or variance.

Wow. You suck. Maybe this poker thing isn't for you, Diablo . . .

Interesting... I just made a similar post yesterday. However, I think my "break-even" streak has a lot to do with my slipping play...

My play has slipped

Re: How long have you played break even poker?
 

21,914 hands at 3/6

Total won = $9.19

BB/100 = 0.01

This was from 12/13/04 to 12/30/04 and I was stuck about 110BB for the few days before this break-even run. On New Year's Eve variance decided to bitch-slap me in the nutsack with -100BB over 800 hands before going out that night. This New Year's sucked ass.

Then, "whammo"... Some minor (perhaps significant) changes to my strategy, and the poker gods shining on me once again and I am way above my peak before I got stuck in the middle of December.

It will turn around.

Also, a big thank you to those who helped me out during my 2nd major downswing of tortuous duration in the last 3 months.
