Default Re: Finding out you\'re a break even player

Took me about a year before I started making any money.

Of course, that's my fault.

Follow the suggestions of the people here and things should work out better than break-even for you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

And yes, NLHE (especially cash game deep stack NLHE) is a lot of fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Actually to break even means your a decent winner in the game because you are beating the rake. At many lower limit games this is as much as a BB an hour. Think about that for second, that means your likely better than 90% of the people playing today, now you just need to work a little more on those things that can increase your advantage.

The rake at 5/10 6max works out to about 2BB/hr. This makes beating 5/10 6max difficult

I think you should take a hiatus from poker for a while--at least a few months. You recognize that you're obsessing over the game.
