Don't call me down with Q7o on a AQ6K3 board.

You're lucky i had 24o and was feeling daring. Next time i won't and that will be costly [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Varience is varience, probably one of the toughest things in poker to handle. You become almost resistant to "bad beats" after you've logged thousands of hands... but downswings of 50BB+ still hurt bad.

That's just under 4BB/100 hands. Looks pretty good to me. Don't see what the problem is.

8.76 over 248 hands is a win rate of 3.52/100 hands which is so HIGH it's practically unsustainable.

basically, you're running awesome.

if you want to win more MONEY you need to move up in limits.

3.52/100 is sustainable at .5/1 shorthand definitely.

Your winrate is very high though as ErrantNight said, especially for someone who doesn't understand that it is a high win rate.

The rake at .5/1 on Party skins is horrible man, get onto UB, stars, or absolute, you're losing so much of your win to rake it isnt even funny. IIRC the stars .5/1 rake is 40% less than the party skins.

I've lost nearly 250 BB in the past 4 days at 1/2-5/10. It sucks, but in the long run it's a small number. I dont like thinking about my bankroll in terms of $, i just like playing the best and letting it grow over time. Cannot be focused on short term.

I think you are focussing on short short term. 250 hands is a very short session and its impossible to be + each session even if you play perfect.

Wait for 10k hands, then review.
