anyone up to 2/4 yet?

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

Been within 10 BBs of it, but I can't sustain a run at 1/2 6-max long enough to get over the hump. I'm roughly 20 BBs off right now.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

Just started 1/2 for the second time and I am up about 15BBs.

I've got like 100 bucks or so in 9 different sites. I may give this a whirl.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

Will someone fill me in on the details of this challenge? It's right around the limits I am working on so maybe I can get in?

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

start at 1/2. move up when you reach +50bb for each level, drop down when you are -25bb. see how far you get in 20k hands.

No...

start at .5/1, move up every 50bb. if you lose more than 25 bb at a limit, you should move down but don't have to (my own rule). if you end up in the red overall you must go back to .5/1. there is no time or hand limit. goal is to get to IP 150/300 pound [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'll deal with these one at a time:
1. Avatar- returned by popular request
2. Exam flunking- been doing that for a while
3. Roll Disintigration- has nothing to do with me losing my mind, just playing/running bad
4. Multiple Personalities- I AM BOB CIAFFONE, YOU WILL DO WHAT I SAY

other possible reasons: I've played 3000 hands of online poker in the last ~75 days and I played .5/1 and 1/2 yesterday

My $.50/$1 report...

[ QUOTE ]
Finished up the first level in about 3 hours, 20 minutes this morning 4-tabling. My oh my, did I NOT need a thread filled with comments on how to play .5/1 laggy. I'm wondering how well I'll adjust to 1/2 max, 2/4, and 3/6. I've been mostly treading water at 2/4 and 3/6 ever since I moved up to them a couple months back, so I'm not sure if I need to be looser or less aggressive (trust me, I don't need to be MORE aggressive). We'll see when I get there, I suppose.

Amount Won: $58.24

My $1/$2 (6-max) report...

[ QUOTE ]
Finished up the second level in about 3 hours, 20 minutes (same as $.50/$1) this afternoon 4-tabling. I've only played maybe 3000 hands of $1/$2 6-max before, and felt comfortable there (mostly because it seems to suit my straightforward, aggro style). I went on a good run early but stalled out for awhile, and eventually dropped back to only +20 BB before finally going on another run. I stopped, thinking I was at the 50 BB mark, and then discovered I was $.75 short, so I popped two tables back open to make it official. Worth it as I hit trip 9s and got paid off.

Stats
Total Hands: 940
Amount Won: $123.50
BB/100: 6.57
VPIP: 28.94%

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll continue posting short updates and a hand or two in the thread, but will be blogging about it a bit more indepth on my new poker blog, just another LAG.

Good luck all. I've got a thing that needs to be done in 3 hours so taking a break from poker to finish that up by deadline.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

I never cited #3. You didn't emphasize 4 enough. I never thought 1 might be a reason, but looking back I think it may be. You also omitted 5. The Haikus. Also, expanding on 4, not only the multiple personalities, but the fact that the multiple personalities argue with each other. In conclusion, Dave is a huge praaaaag. What up PRAGE!

I agree.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

Just started, so I am still at .5/1

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

ah yes, the haikus

Two Four here I come.
 

I have not been in a good state of mind to play lately and have been tilting a lot and having a lot of mediocre results. This challenge has come along at a good time for me. Thanks Sthief for the inspiration.

Results so far:

.5/1 2970h +103bb 3.48bb/100

This includes a revisit after a disasterous first shot at 1/2 short.

1/2 short 557h +25bb 4.37bb/100

I pondered whether to actually achieve 50 bb for each level or forge ahead based on aggregate results.

Onward

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

Early returns from 2/4 have me up 17.25 BBs after 103 hands. This would be much easier if I didn't have other things to do besides poker. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Oh, and I finally managed to win a hand with AA. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread

VPIP 23-24ish
PFR 12-14

Party beat you on the 1/2 round. Rake > Profit.

Also, what was the hand where you didn't raise with AKo? Capped already? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

2/4 is making me it's bitch, as it has since mid-December.

Re: 3/6 Time
 

2/4 should have more BB-for-BB variance than 15/30. thye game is absolutely nuts

I'm at something like .5 BB/100 after 40k hands at 2/4. I'm 2.5+ @ .5/1, 2 @ 1/2, and 1.75 @ 3/6, all 20k or more hands at those levels. 2/4 just RAPES me. More than it should, I think.

Re: 3/6 Time
 

i find 2/4 to have considerably less bb-for-bb varience than 3/6. then again, my table selection blows.

I've tried doing screen captures, but nothing happens when I hit my "Print screen" key. I suspect this has something to do with my not having a printer installed.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

I'm currently building my roll at the microlimits on PStars. Depending on how long it takes me to get to .5/1, I might join this. There is no set end date, right?

So far, in about a week, roughly 1,000 hands, I've made a profit of about $10 at .02/.04. Actually, I might try to do this myself, in the smaller limits. Might actually catch you guys, lol.

2/4 report
 

1300 hands + 4 BB

I suck

Full Houses no good at pokerstars 2/4 tables tonight.

Re: Official Small Stakes OIC Thread
 

W00t! Got home slightly drunk, and only 500 total hands and a 55 BB down and then a 112 BB swing up I've made it. On to 1/2!

Not running great but I am slogging through. I almost had to do 1/2 over again. I was actually 1/2BB over the 25 BB limit but decided to round down and won the next hand.

2/4 Results about 1/3 full ring and 2/3 shorthanded.

2048h +50 BB 2.48bb/100

Some real luckboxes out there. I am saving my luck for 10/20. How many fish (er I mean contestants) do you think are going to make it to 15/30?
