Re: How long have you played break even poker?
I guess I was thinking that at the super easy .5/1 tables I should be crushing them for something around 3.5/100. If I am only playing 2bb/100 at .5/1 that means I will be a fish at higher limits.
Anyway, when I said I was playing tred water poker it was contextual for the super soft game I'm playing. |

One who beats it for 3.5+ is a good/great player. |

Re: How long have you played break even poker?
I'm currently trying to break into the 5/10 game and after about 15k hands I'm up <.5/100... Rakeback is the only thing making me any money.

Re: How long have you played break even poker?
With all these postings about 20, 30 and 40+K runs of breakeven or worse poker by what I’m sure are winning players, is 100K hands enough to really determine whether you’re a winning player or not? Should it be closer to 150K or even 200K hands to really get a good grasp on your true win rate? Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like a supposed winning player just starting to track hands with a sufficient bankroll could easily go through 50-80K hands just breaking even or making a slim profit like
.2-.3BB/100 at moderate levels like 2/4 or 3/6. Just wondering how one really knows how well they’re doing and how long that really takes? Thanks for the input. Kevin |

[/ QUOTE ] 100K is usually more than enough to determine with 99% confidence that you're a winning (or losing) player. To get a good grasp on your "true" win rate, you do need much more. Search the archives for posts on calculating your "true" win rate with various confidence intervals. |

Re: How long have you played break even poker?
not sure but this thread is interesting... kind of helpful to see that some of the most respected 2+2 players go through 10k+ break even streaks
