<font color="red">I do things very differently than most, if not all of you. </font>

Oh really. All-inclusive statements are sure to be right about 99% of the time.

<font color="red">That is what makes me successful</font>
What? That you are different? Here I thought it had something to do with skill.

<font color="red"> I play to a certain dollar figure, <font color="blue">I am results oriented. </font> </font>

This is so stupid I cannot even come up with anything to heighten it.
<font color="red">
This is what has allowed me to do this for a living for almost 4 years now, and have the stability necessary to do so. </font>
How does being results oriented have anything to do with allowing you to do this for a living and having stability? Do you think that, since you are results oriented, you somehow get different cards? Hell, why not be this way with the lottery; I really, really, really, really want to win, I want the results, the bang, the bucks, the cold hard cash...but, lo and behold, no.
<font color="red">
When I first quit my job and began playing poker it wasn't easy. I started out just playing, and then one day I decided to set a daily monetary goal. </font>
Yea, and Russian Roulette, If you always double your bet, is the way to beat the house.

<font color="red">
It was $80 at the time, and I was playing 1/2. I was able to hit this target probably 99% of the time. I then moved it up to $120 a day. Again I was successul at this limit for quite a few months, and then 2 years ago I decided to set a rather high goal of $200/day. Once again I was successful at this playing still 1/2 and some 2/4. About 2 months ago I decided to try for $300 a day. <font color="blue"> Unlike in the past I have continued to play past my daily $300, and have made $300+ on most days that I play. </font></font>

Well, there goes your livelihood and stability, since this very "stop" limit was the reason that allowed such success.

<font color="red">
On a lot of those days I would play a 5/10 game, and a couple 2/4 tables. Recently I have just been playing 2/4, and occasionally 3/6. </font>
What happened to 5/10? Skills didn't transfer to that level? Na, probably more like the allowance of result orientation and stop-limit ratio and rationalization amounts to more than the allowable oriental, octal, certain figures.
Or something similar.
<font color="red">
Am I leaving a lot of profit on the table by not moving up right now?</font>

After all this, and you are asking us mere mortals if you are leaving a lot of profit on the table? Good God, what do you think? I mean, you are the absolute best small stakes player to ever play the game.
<font color="red">
I'm sure I will eventually move up and play the highest stake games online.</font>

At the rate you are going you should be there by Christmas, 3336.

<font color="red">The intention of my initial post was to actually see if anyone else was making as much as me at low limit poker. </font>

As you can see, so obviously, NO!

Just wait until he gives his screen name. Then, you'll see what's what.

Joe,

What others are (sort of) saying above but perhaps doing it with a touch of venom is that most likely those rates you are experiencing now are not sustainable.

Last week during one particular evening 4-tabling I won almost 1,000 BB as the deck just assaulted me.

It's variance. It's great when it happens. Enjoy it ... but don't assume you'll always win 150 BB multi-tabling for a few hours at 2/4 - while the players aren't as good as you'll find at higher limits, they're better than to allow anyone to average that high a winrate over the long haul.

Hey come on guys give him a break. After all he did make $5k clearing a bonus from full tilt playing 2-4

I believe him

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...517&amp;Forum=, All_Forums,&amp;Words=&amp;Searchpage=0&amp;Limit= 25&amp;Main=3190330&amp; Search=true&amp;where=&amp;Name=1310&amp;daterange =&amp;newerval= &amp;newertype=&amp;olderval=&amp;oldertype=&amp;b odyprev=#Post3190517

Looks like he went from winning $300/day to $500/hour
on a side note how the hell do you post a shorter link instead of getting this garbage?

Assuming this isn't a troll, I think it's hilarious that this guy gives advice to 15/30 players.

in all seriousness, assuming you're telling the truth, where are the good 2-4 6-max games? i play at stars, but wondering if there are even greener pastures out there...

Yesterday I made 420 at the same, the day before that 358. I'm able to clear $300 per day at 2/4, 3/6 on most days. Anyone else winning this much at these limits?

I should note that today I played for about 6 hours. Yesterday and the day before for an average of about 5 hours.
