Hi! My name is...
 

Guruman, and I come from the micros forum. I've been playing 1/2 6max almost exclusively over my last 10k hands (with a couple of failed shots at 2/4 short thrown in).

I initially build up from an instant bankroll $75 startup at party .50/1.

Good luck and these forums led me to my current limit, as I never really had a chance before them.

I'm gearing up for another shot at 2/4, and I'm hoping to stick this time. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

...and you are?

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

i'm doing .50/1 6-max with only $130 since i got killed playing sng's and mtt's (originally had $400 after starting with full ring limit).

i'm not worried about BR though, the tables are really easy, much better than full ring and i'm already up 26BB in a couple sessions.

But seriously, currently playing 3/6 on abso. Can move 5/10 soon, just kinda waiting for the moment to be right.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

dude, what's your movedown threshold? Or will you just reload if you bust?

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

i can't really move down to anything. i'd reload, but i've been reading these forums for a while (and some books) and i highly doubt i'll have any major trouble. the tables are very easy for me at that level.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

I play 5/10 and am taking shots at 10/20 when the time is right. I am mostly looking for help on these boards because my advice usually sucks.

GL man.

It is funny how the title of this post got that tune pumping in my skull.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

. . . . Nate and I'm an alchoholic.

1/2 and some shots at 3/6.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Cancuk: 5/10 and a little 10/20 when i feel like i rule the world.

Also, i'm looking for someone to "talk poker with". that sounds kind of strange. I mean someone who would like to talk over MSN while playing and whatnot; sweating hands, critique, different views etc. None of my friends play, and i think it would elevate my/your game tremendously. So, if you're interested, PM me.

cheers,

Cancuk

Matt, aka, MrWookie, aka Micro Forum Overloard.

I, too, started with instantbankroll. I'm currently running red hot in the middle of taking a shot at 5/10 6 max. If I win another 100 BB, then I'll officially call it my home.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Ainex, mostly bonus whore 1/2 6 max but I think after another 4k hands of it I'll take a stab at 2/4 FR and SH.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Brad, I play a mix of 6max and Full ring (like 70:30). I am currently at 5/10 pretty comfortably, and have a few thousand hands at 10/20. I usually live in the micros, but fequently lurked ih HUSH and SS, with the occasional post. I plan on making this my new home.

Started with 5 free dollars from Pacific and havent looked back. I play 1/2 6-max and am from the micros. Plan on moving up to 2/4 6-max over my winter break and running hot there and getting up to 3/6. If anyone is interested in talking over MSN PM me.

Terrific avatar Jax.

My name is Jake.

I barely ever have time to play poker, but when I do it's usually 3/6 short.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

I'm Shakes, and I've played a lot of .50/1 and 1/2 short on Party. I also have experience at NL full and short, as well as limit full. The vast majority of my experience comes from small stakes limit full.

I haven't posted a lot, but I'm trying to make a habit of responding to more strategy posts, and hopefully I'll be able to make some interesting hand posts.

I'm glad to see the forum split.

grindin' away at the 5/10 short tables.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Adam, currently playing 2/4 short, started off with a 150BB rush but it's leveled off a bit over the last week. I think that this split is a sensational idea and I plan on making this my new home.

Nice thread idea Rene.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

I'm addicted to 6max. Not sure if I'm ever going back to FR. I have been playing 1/2 but I'm going to kick some A at 2/4 starting now... ok, i mean now...

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

hi im Steve.

im currently playing 0.5/1 6-max and taking shots at 1/2...even though i have the bankroll for 2/4 [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I too come from the micro limit forums!

Hi. I'm Fredrik (Norwegians have funny names) Played sh 5/10, but wanted to start over after a heavy downswing. Started this month on sh 1/2. Running 6bb/100 my first 5k hands. g000t!

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Pete Harris; been working on my dissertation so stuck at 1/2 instead of moving up. Gonna take a shot at 2/4 over xmas, then 3/6 and 5/10 in 2006 is all goes to plan. fingers crossed!

10/20 rakeback "pro". Used to pay my mortgage with rakeback checks and use my meager winings to build my role. Sigh, now i have to get by on my "skillz". Fighting the urge to clear a 200$ bonus on UB. Party so much softer, party easier to use PT and Poker Ace.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Steve. Started playing in June after a heart attack laid me up. Started with instant bankroll $75 and have been doing quite well. Had a few set backs, but have always been in the positive. Started at .50/1 and quickly moved up to 1/2. Been reading the 6max posts for some time, and decided it was time to give it a try.

I only have about 1-1.5k hands, but so far it has been very profitable.

I have set a goal to get more active here and now there is a SH forum, I will try even harder. I got burned out at forums in the past, too active. This, however, I need to do to improve my bad game.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

These threads are so much fun. Gives me that warm fuzzy feeling...

They call me Dan. I'm currently whoring 1/2 6-max at Absolute, with another shot at 2/4 coming up soon - probably at another site.

FWIW, I started at the free games on UB, then some 1c/2c, then over to Stars where NateDog and I met at the 2c/4c games. (We were easy to pick out, since we were the only TAGs on the site.) 45k hands later, it's for real money. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Matt

I've been slacking off, having this "moving on up" location for god knows how long, despite the fact that I still haven't jumped up from .5/1 6max. I don't have that high goals for myself, right now the promise land is 3/6 6max.

I'm another one of those micros posters/lurkers, and with all the fun I've been having with .5/1 6max, I don't know if I'm ever going to move back. (maybe have a little 2/4 FR haiatus or something... assuming I get there)

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

<----

Play 1/2 6 Max because I am too stupid to save money for a roll at 2/4. Over my last 20k hands I've beaten 1/2 for 5BB/100. Still can't move up...hating life...want to make 8k next summer...still can't move up.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

POKhER (Yeah i dont do the "full name" stuff - Sorry [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]).

Started at 0.02/.04 with a $20 depo, it dropped to $4 then worked it up to over $1400.

I just finished with 1/2 10max where i was down 100BB(Swing, as i had a 100BB swing before but pulled out of it).

Anyhow i'll return to 1/2 10max maybe one day but for now i'm at .50/1 6max and looking to get to 1/2 maybe 2/4 by xmas(all 6max!).

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Mike

Started w Paradise's $2. Moved through FR nanos and micros to .50/1 sh. Currently whoring 1/2 6max. Can't imagine going back to full ring and love this split. Hope to be at 2/4 early in '06.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

My real name was confiscated by the government of Belize. 26, male, occaisonally employed in the murky world of film production.

I only really play 6max these days, though I'll run TD27 and razz when I'm bored. Just moved down to 10/20 after an absolutely brutal run at 20/40 which I wasn't really adequately rolled for anyways. I don't put in enough hands, which was fine when rb was filling my pockets, but which is starting to hurt me now.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Rob Casey

I am trying to play 5/10. It is going well over the first 1k hands.

I built of my roll from several failed $50 deposits on party. Went on a mad rush and got lucky enough to find 2p2 and started to suck less.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

If you only have a $130 roll, you need to move down and do some bonus whoring. 6 max is a bitch for downswings.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

<--- See name.

Loooong time Micro poster/lurker, planning on migrating here following bottomset the same way that Native Americans followed the herds. I'm gonna try to have a presence here, Micro, and SS.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

Amanda.

I play mostly .50/1 6m at Absolute, and 1/2 full ring at Stars. When I have a really bad day at one or the other, I play .50/1 Omaha 8 to earn back some BBs in a hurry. My home base is the micro forum, but I've been lurking (I know, I know...please don't throw tomatoes!) over in HUSH for a while.

I started out at the Stars .05/.1 tables and have slowly worked my way up. I tell myself that I'd make faster progress if it weren't for that irritating J-O-B that takes up so much time. (Also if I would stop depleting my bankroll with SNG buyins...)

MNI Michael - I started with $5. Currently playing 2/4 6-max, although my newly doubled bankroll (thanks to the 15 BB Challenge) may inspire me to step up.

I'll also be jumping back to full ring quite a bit, because there don't seem to be any live 6-max tables.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

name is steve.

started out playing 1/2 and 2/4 on paradise/pacific a couple years back.

lost about $150 - found 2+2.

re-started at the nanos (0.10/0.20).

played paradise/party/empire/pokernow until 1/2 and a bit of 2/4.

withdrew entire roll - spent it on a europe trip.

came back from europe - back playing 1/2. will be at 2/4 within a couple weeks.

Re: Hi! My name is...
 

For the record I'm also migrating here after miles, too. These two could start posting hands in the Politics forum and I'd still go there to read 'em.
