He stole a minor sum from me, so I did a little investigation. He has a decent paid job but it is not enough to pay for his gambling addiction so he also borrows/steals money from relatives and others. Much of the money he tilts away in high limit poker. A sad man. |

OR "stole" - as in "he sat at a 25/50 NL table with 40BB, folded 18 hands, then pushed all in. He had KK I had AA, he cracked my AA, took my $2k, then left the table" If its the first that's a significant accusation. If its the second .. sucks for you, let it go. FishNChips |

Re: Three thousand dollars and a bag full of dreams

Assuming you had two thousand dollars, a computer, and an internet connection and absolutely nothing else, what would you do in order to play 30/60. Absolutely nothing, except a copy of SSHE you've read a million times, and having lurked on 2+2 forever. [/ QUOTE ] Well, we don't know if the fact that you have read the 2+2 forum and SSHE has helped, but taking $3k to the $30/$60 table for a single session gives you 50BB. Your chance of dropping that before increasing to $10k or so is pretty high. I had a session last night that I remember going something like this: First hand TT in the pocket, I lost 8BB to pocket kings. Nexthand I played I had AQ suited, my flush did not appear, I lost 10BB. I bled away 10BB over the next 25 minutes, then lost 12BB when my flopped straight was beat by a full house. The very next hand I had pocket QQ, flopped a set, and lost 13BB to a rivered flush. Is this really bad luck? No, just a little down swing - but it is 53BB in an hour - and -$3180. You might want to just play $3/$6 and move up every time you have 500BB for the next limit.
