Re: 50,000 hand update, stats checkup (long).

[ QUOTE ] I figure that this is the lowest limit I'll be able to play and be able to make a signifigant contribution to the funding of my household. Any comments are welcome. [/ QUOTE ] Are you serious? Get a real job. [/ QUOTE ] My long-long term goal is to play 20/40. I figure that making 1.5BB/100 at 2/4, and assuming 60 hands/hr, then 4-tabling works out to just over $14 an hour. Right now my real job is taking care of my daughter and the household, and it always will be.

While I don't mind our living situation, I don't like not contributing to the household in a monetary fashion. It's one of the reasons I've picked up a few monthly bills.

Let them have their opinion, but don't let it shake you. I was ready to walk from this forum entirely today, but have changed my mind. The more idiots here, the better.

Re: 50,000 hand update, stats checkup (long).
Something is wrong. You should be beating the low limit games for at least 3bb/100 before you consider moving up. Your numbers look OK, though your PFR should be a little higher, so it might be that you're not extracting value from your winning hands.
Get SSH, ToP, PokerTracker and GameTime+ if you don't already have them. The PT guide by Iggy (the Guinness and Poker Iggy, not the gay IggyWH- j/k he knows I'm kidding) is also a good resource. This is the free alternative. Read the FAQ's on this board, do tons of searches and post hands. Doing all this will get your win rate >4BB/100 and once you get there, 8-table all day every day. Eventually you'll experience huge 300BB+ downswings and once you get by those you'll be mentally prepared for the higher limits.

Re: 50,000 hand update, stats checkup (long).
And if you can 8-table consistently 40 hours a week...godspeed man. I cant even play 4 tables more than 20 hours a week and I do this for a living. (I play 5/10 and 15/30.)
There is no way I would put myself through that at 2/4. Move up, play fewer tables (if u want), make more money. Oh yeah, get to enjoy life a little.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree, 4bb/100 8-tabling 2/4 is absurd. Anything over 1bb/100 is good. 2bb/100 is really hard.
