Re: When do you know that you can \"beat the game\"?
[ QUOTE ]
When 2 outers cease to bother you.
When your game is completely unaffected when you drop a buyin or 5 in 10 minutes.
When the game breaks up and you stay to play 3 handed as if nothing happened.
When you check-raise bluff/bluff in general just because you know the guy is going to lay down and even if he doesn't it's ok cause you play with these people everyday.
When people sit out when you sit down.
The list goes on and on. I think the most important thing at any level is being totally immune to the swings.

Had to fix that but excellent points. I would stress the 50k hands, 5PTBB/100 thing too. I ran sick-good at NL1k over my first 10k hands, up 15 buy ins. Then lost it all and wanted to throw up. There was a quote somewhere (on here?) by Jennifer Harmon that basically said that a player who is winning is not necessarily a good player. I'll tell you if a player is a winning one based on how they play while they're losing. After my NL1k trip, I think I'd get an F from JH.
