I answered his real question which is:
"I stole a nice sum of money, can I use this money to get rich in poker or should I continue to steal money?"

methinks there is something personal going on here that the rest of us are not privy to?

Good observation [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. 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.

"stole" - as in borrowed without intention of repayment, as in taking by force at gunpoint, as in lifting your wallet?
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.

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.

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.
