I know I'm responsible for 1 or 2 of your bad beats in the $25 NL games. Good luck in the WSOP tough.

Thanks Frenchie for the good luck wish, not the bad beats.

However, I made some poor call downs and definitely tilted away some money at those tables as well.

I too say screw the win rate. Winning poker is not easy, and trying to do what your doing while playing winner poker all the time is pretty much impossible. Besides, the $13,000 or so that this project is paying off with can help any loss in win rate you might have.

Hey Art,

This is pretty much the conclusion I have come to. This brings to mind another question--What is the maximum number of hands a person can play in a month's time before they become a break even/losing player? I believe I can play around 40k hands per month and show a moderate win rate (around 1 BB/100) An optimal amount for me might only be 20k hands per month though. I realize this answer would vary widely from player to player.

I would find it very hard to believe that there is someone out there consistently playing 90k hands month in and month out and beating the game.

Especially when you have to mix both format and limits. I can't imagine 8-tabling with both NL and FL tables mixed.

I think looking back on it now, this might have impacted my win rate more than anything. Especially when tables got short, I would continue to play. (Thinking it was really helping hand count, which it did, but to the detriment of my win rate.)

An heroic effort. I trust you will not do that to yourself ever again.

Thanks, Baulucky! I did say I would do this again tomorrow even knowing what I now know. (That is how much more diffcult it actually was than what I thought it would be.)

A better choice of words, would have been that I still would have done it knowing how difficult it was.

I don't plan on ever doing this again anytime soon.

(Not unless someone makes me an offer I cannot refuse.)

So how many true points have you accumulated and whats the deal with that?
