Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
I've been made to understand that user signatures have gone the way of the dodo, robbing me and many others of the ability to brag and commiserate about the short-term/long-term goals we've set ourselves as poker players.
So, rather than give up, I've decided to start a centralized thread for anyone who wants it, a la nykenny's 10k in 100 hours posts. If you're working your way up in limits, or shooting for a money goal, feel free to share, post interesting hands or celebrate milestones. Here's me as of 2/9/2004, having started this new thing on New Year's Day. Operation Boondoggle Goal: .5/1 to 3/6 in 2004. Milestones: 300BB @ each level. Current limit: .5/1 Hands: 4539 Earnings: +243BB Rate: 5.35BB/100 Comments: Well, I had a simply huge weekend, up 117BB in something like 20 table-hours of play, doing 3 .5/1 Party tables at a time. Before this weekend, I'd been looking through my session data, and found that I'd been playing a lot of sessions of a half-hour or less. I decided I'd be getting better table reads and better pokertracker data on people if I played fewer, longer sessions. This weekend I played at least 9 sessions of an hour or more (3 tables at a time), and had pretty good results in all of them. Even for the tables where I posted a loss, I was able to better see which part of it was my own play and which part of it was variance due to table conditions. All in all, I feel like I've really turned a corner in my poker abilities. I'm not great, and I'm not even particularly good, but I'm finally beating .5/1 consistently and confidently, and I don't find myself sweating preflop decisions much anymore. Can't thank micro enough for that, and I'm looking forward to moving to 1/2 in a couple of weeks. Too bad Party can't seem to keep the 1/2 10-seaters full. |

The 1/2 tables suck at party imo, there isnt enough. IŽll skip them and try getting enough money for 2/4 instead.
Currently 2/3s of the way. Good Luck -Trix |

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
Well, I know they're rock gardens, but I want to earn at least $600 more (after I reach 300BB at .5/1) before I give 2/4 a shot. That'll give me 225BB for 2/4, and if I earn 300BB at 2/4, I'll have 260BB for 3/6.
Once I break 300BB at .5/1, I figure I'll play as many 1/2 full games as possible, and if I can't find a decent table, play .5/1. |

Oh, I missunderstood you then, I thought you wanted to have 300 1/2 BBs before moving up...

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
Earning 300BB playing 1/2 is the goal, but I only play at Party, and I'm not interested in making this harder than it already is.
I'll be playing as much 1/2 as possible, but if I'm winning consistently after a few thousand hands and it's clear that good 1/2 tables are just too scarce, I'll build a $900 bankroll in .5/1 + 1/2 and move on up to the promised land of 2/4. IF I am winning consistently. IF I get the bankroll. Those are the main purposes of this thing, setting myself goals with clear ways to evaluate my performance and then moving up when it's clear I won't be in over my head. |

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
Hit 3.5K a few weeks ago, so went to play some 5/10.
These were my stats: Hands - Winn/Loss - Combined. 208 | -23 | -23/208 201 | +129 | +106/409 299 | -151 | -45/708 273 | +91 | +46/981 66 | +227 | +273/1047 149 | -208 | +65/1196 404 | +224 | +289/1600 75 |+296 | At this point I really liked 5/10 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] 207 |-328 | 403 |-270 | -78/2285 150 |-196 | 127 |-227 |-501/2562 or -20/100. My roll is around 3K now and IŽll probably stay at 3/6 till it hits 4K, as IŽm more comfy with 400BBs [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Have fun and good luck with your goals. -Trix |

At first I thought those were BB's but I guess that's actually dollar amounts right? Cause I was going: holy crap you have huge variance!!!!!

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
Consider bonus whoring. If you do, you should have no problem getting 300 BBs ($1200) for a 2/4 game while only playing 0.5/1 games for 300 BBs at that level ($300).

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
I can still improve my game playing .5/1 and I will probably hit 1200 in a week or two anyways, so im fine.

Re: Microlimits Progress Quest: Post plans/updates/setbacks here.
My goals.
I've got 50 bucks (so 25BB at the .5/1 table- right) in Party. I want to make another 25BB, and cash that out- so I'm functionally playing for free. Then I want to play till I hit a sufficient bankroll to play at the 1/2 tables. Suggestions on what that bankroll should be? How many BB should you be playing with at any given time? |
