Your PFR% seems a bit low for 2/4 but other than that...looks good. Small enough sample that your PFR might be just on.

Those stats are for all my games, going all the way back to my PS .05/.10 days. Looking at just my 2/4 stats, my VP$IP is 17.26, my PFR is 8.04% and my Tot-A is 1.86. Again, a small sample, but hopefully a bit better. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Those look on track. I'm very close to those.

Yeah when I look at my .5/1 stats compared and then the games moving up, my PFR% goes up as I think it should, cause you are having less people see the flop, and more hands become raiseable compared to better to limp in smaller nano limit games.

Here is my updated breakdown.

Some of the BB/100 at 1/2 and 2/4 are skewed since I took some early stabs and thus hurt my rate.




<font color="red">Overall</font>
=======
$0.50/$1.00 - 35,447 Hands, 4.90 BB/100
$1.00/$2.00 - 10,142 Hands, 3.33 BB/100
$2.00/$4.00 - 12,155 Hands, 4.12 BB/100
$3.00/$6.00 - 1,467 Hands, 6.24 BB/100

I chart my progress every 31 playing days. Here is my breakdown that shows improvement.

<font color="green">First 31 Days</font>
=============
$0.50/$1.00 - 18,092 Hands, +3.94 BB/100

$2.00/$4.00 - 7,443 Hands, +5.86 BB/100
$3.00/$6.00 - 196 Hands, -9.14 BB/100

<font color="green">Fourth 31 Days</font> - Currently at 20 Days, haven't played much this month, getting ready for college and finishing work
==============
$2.00/$4.00 - 3,588 Hands, +1.82 BB/100
$3.00/$6.00 - 1,271 Hands, +8.62 BB/100




I like to not only keep the true running rates and stats for each level but also break it down to 31 playing days so I can see if I'm improving and how it's affecting my win rate.

If anyone wants to see indepth stats just PM.

I finally dedicated myself to limit play (played small stakes SNG/NL) in April. I worked my way up on Party and am up a decent amount. Unfortunately, I like electronics and took out over half my winnings.

My bankroll is about $2,100 so I could play 3/6, but I am currently 8-tabling 2/4. I need to cash-out another $600 at the end of the month so I will stay put until I am at about $2,500 or so. I am winning at about 1.5 BB/100 ($25/hr) doing this.

If I could win at that rate at 3/6, I would be at $40/hr which would be pretty nice, and I feel I can improve on the 1.5 BB/100. I am starting to build up my PokerTracker DB and develop reads as well as improve my play.

I am in a bit of a dilemna as to what I would like to accomplish over the next year. I think I can beat the 3/6 game (8-tabling, of course!) for 2.5BB/100 (eventually) which is roughly $60/hour. That would be a nice $2,500 per month or so (plus another $450 in rake rebates) which is obviously nothing to complain about, especially considering I wouldn't have to step foot in a game higher than 3/6 to do it.

Of course, there is the allure of the 15/30 games. I just don't know if I have the skill or aggression level to play them.

My stats are VP$IP of about 12.5% and PFR of 6.4%. I am aggressive post-flop (around 2.00 on all streets) and am winning with just about every hand I routinely play (less small sample sizes and some bad beats with AJs) but just dont play enough hands, and feel like I'd get crushed in the bigger games.

So - I think my goal for the rest of 2004 is to get to (and stay at) 3/6 and beat it for 2.5 BB/100. I'll have to report here each month and see if I can get to that this year.

Not so impressed with my results...

First month I was playing with more money than I had:
2/4: 657 hands, +2.06BB/100
3/6: 1,299 hands, -2.70BB/100
5/10: 2,311 hands, +4.14BB/100

My 5/10 was actually around 8BB/100 but I hit a major downswing after spending some of the money on poker books, PT, and tourneys. I never had a very large bankroll to begin with either, so I moved down to micros. Since then -

$1/2: 431 hands, +1.94BB/100
.5/1: 1509 hands, -2.21BB/100

So all in all not the best results I could imagine. I'm still trying to adjust and my game is steadily improving (wish I could say the same about my luck).

How manys hands you at for 2/4 and 3/6?

I wonder if your 8 tabling is affecting your BB/100 rate (which seems low for someone who feels pretty confident).

Also your VP$IP is low. Your PFR is low for both levels. That's also why I wonder by sample size. You talk like you have a decent sized one though. So I consider both these stats to be too low.

Might as well make an entry here...

I'm primarily a 1-, 2-, and 3-table NL SNG player, along with dabbling in larger NL MTTs and $25NL. I feel like I'm a winning player at the various low buy-in SNGs and at $25, but don't have the records/sample size to support this. Been playing since Jan 2004 on Party and was a big loser until I started lurking on 2+2. I'm still down a fair amount overall, but like said, I'm fairly sure that I'm playing break-even or slightly profitable poker over the last two months at SNGs. I've forbidden myself to plop any more money into Party and haven't had a problem over the last two-three months. After finally building up enough of a roll on the tourneys, I decided to peel off $200 to start up an Empire account with a rake-back in order to bone up on limit. So September is the first month in my limit plunge.

My goal is to be making $20/hr by May 2005. Whatever that entails - while I'm starting out by getting comfortable multitabling at .50/1, I don't have a goal of multi-tabling 2/4, 3/6, or 5/10 when/if I get there. Obviously to make my goal, I'll have to at least 2-table and probably 3- or 4-table. But the main goal is to be making $20/hr by May 2005.

Current Stats @ .50/1 (Started Sept. 03)
----------------------------------------
Hands: 1846
VP$IP: 17.17%
VP$ISB 42.49%
PFR: 9.1%
Att. to Steal Blinds: 25%
Won $ @ SD: 60.24%
Aggression Factor: .89PF, 2.99F, 3.80T, 2.17R, 1.81 Total

BB/100: 11.86
BB/HR (true hours): 21.92


Obviously I'm crushing the .50/1 game at an unsustainable rate. I plan on 4-tabling the .50/1 at Party/Empire for 20-25k hands. Before moving up, I also must have 500 BB for 1/2, and my BB/100 must be 2.5+ at .50/1.

Are my goals realistic? I'm basically considering poker my part-time job, as well as an extra class this semester (going to study TOP, SSH, and eventually HEFAP very hard on, like, a daily basis].
