I'm confused -- it says you're UTG+2. According to the hand history it looks like you folded pocket Aces. If that's the case, then yeah, that's a leak. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I wasn't even positive I had pocket aces until I got the hand history email.

Now I don't feel so bad about my worst river play ever

Edit: LOL -- just noticed you cross-posted this one on that thread.

hehehe folding AA is a leak unless you know 3 other people have 72o and they will hit 2 pair each and you sit with your crappy pair.

I was posting on the other thread, but since it looks like this is the new thread and I already hit my first goal, this is as good a place as any to put my next goal.

I started in March with $50 playing PS .05/.10. My first goal was to get to .5/1 by the end of the year, accumulating 300BB and 10K hands at each level along the way. Well, four months later, I'm there (although I didn't quite get to the hand levels I'd planned).

3/23/2004 (9080 hands @ PS .05/.10) +$50.48 (504BB) 5.26BB/100
6/5/2004 (8268 hands @ PS .25/.50) +$177.37 (355BB) 5.92BB/100
7/16/2004 (425 hands @ PP .5/1) +$44.89 (45BB) 10.32BB/100

I jumped to .25/.50 early because the BB size is 5 times bigger than the previous level at PS. I moved to PP early because my 50% deposit bonus was about to expire and I felt I like I was ready (although I definitely learned a lot about weak/tight play at PS .25/.50).

My new goal is to hit 2/4 by the end of the year. I know that 1/2 is a stumbling block for a lot of people, but I'm hoping my PS .25/.50 experience will help there. I'm also playing occasional PS 5+.50 SnGs that don't help my BR any, but are an awful lot of fun.

Excellent job. Have we played together at PP/Empire? You are moving up nicely and killing the game.

I originally posted my microlimit goals in the other thread: A big-ass TV and a motorcycle bought with poker winnings.

Since then, however, I found a 32" TV at a garage sale for just $20, so I'm halfway there!

Meanwhile, the poker is going great, though I have had two significant downswings.

Approximate micro stats (before attempting limit, I played about 10,000 hands of NL):

0.05/0.10
Hands: 1,000
BB/100: 7.5

0.25/0.5
Hands: 5,000
BB/100: slightly negative/ break even

0.5/1 (Stars)
Hands: 1000
BB/100: slightly negative/ break even

About this time, I moved from Stars to Party.

.5/1
Hands: 5,100
BB/100: 5.1

1/2
Hands: 100
BB/100: something ridiculous like 12

I'm starting to throw a little 1/2 in the mix, especially when I see one of the guys on my buddy list playing there. So far so good.

This weekend, in particular, was amazing.

Thanks. I doubt we've played together yet -- I just moved to PP this week (I play as dfscott62).

I had another insane night tonight at the .5/1 tables: another 40 BB in 300 hands, plus I cleared a $100 bonus. I know I sounds like an egomaniac, but I feel like these people should just log on and transfer money into my account. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] Now I see why everyone loves PP .5/1 so much! I'm sure it'll eventually turn (it always does) but it sure is fun now.

BTW, is your moniker a Peter Gabriel reference? And is that your PP id as well?

[RED_RAIN]

Even over 30,000 hands at .5/1 I was beating the game for around 5 BB/100. You can kill it. So think the sky is the limit and show me up with a 7 BB/100! hehehe

I get asked this a lot, no it's not. There is a story, but not related to Peter Gabriel. Also my Empire/PP ID is THE_RED_RAIN and THY_RED_RAIN respectfully.

Any problems getting on both party and empire? I'm thinking of looking up an empire affiliate, since party's a bit greedy on their rake.

DFScott if you beat the 25c/50c at Stars consistantly you will have no trouble beating PP 0.50/$1 for more.
