I dropped $ 130.50 last night in 476 hands mostly on 1/2 so I'm a little grumpy.

Its the familiar story--some suckouts (my only set all night lost a huge pot to a better rivered set), a lot of missed draws, and a real shortage of good cards (AA only once and it was cracked, no Kings, no Jacks, Queens once, A-K fewer times than you would expect and only won once--a small pot with an Ace high with the slick, Had A-Q only once).

The interesting thing is that I never got really frustrated, I felt like my play was fine and that it would turn around for me. And even though it didn't today I feel mildly disapointed instead of in a black cloud. And that's after my biggest loss ever. So I count that as growth as a player (heh heh heh, I've gotta find a silver linning somewhere).

I'm at -19 BB per hundred at 1/2. Beat that! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Edit: oh, whoops I wasn't looking at my total stats...I'm actually only at -7.55 BB per hundred at 1/2 over about a thousand hands.

Well it looks to me like your up abo0ut 555 dollars. And even with the wholloping you've taken at 1/2 that's close to 2 bucks per hundred hands. It may not be a brilliant return, but its far far far from sucking.

Nice to see your progress bud

I've been playing for 2 months. I started by playing sng's, to cut losses and learn the basics. I took advantage of a bonus offer and took the plunge into ring games. After hitting an all time low balence of $22, I bought HEFAP. I'm doing MUCH better. Kind of freaked out today though. After playing for 3 hours I was up 150 BB in one session. 15 bucks at nickel/dime. So I'm taking a break. I guess the book is paying for itself. I'm sure a downturn is arond the corner....

Boo don't have this type of thinking. Think each day, how much will I win today?

I played for several months last year at .50/1 on party. I started with $50, won my way up to $700, lost my way down to $400, then cashed out. This march I bought back in with $600 intending to get back into shape at .50/1 and move up when I started playing well. Results:

March 1200 hands at $0.50/1.00 - 7.45 BB/100

April 670 hands at $0.50/1.00 - 8.98 BB/100
100 hands at $1.00/2.00 - negative 8.16 BB/100
142 hands at 6 max $1.00/2.00 - negative 17.34 BB/100 (I really suck shorthanded)

May 170 hands at $0.50/1.00 - negative 4.46 BB/100

June 1600 hands at $0.50/1.00 - 8.73 BB/100
1600 hands at $1.00/2.00 - 8.77 BB/100 (Mostly Party 1/2 badbeat jackpot)

July 305 hands at $0.50/1.00 - 17.01 BB/100
329 hands at $1.00/2.00 (6 max) - 1.69 BB/100
1561 hands at $1.00/2.00 - 5.98 BB/100
2100 hands at $2.00/4.00 - 2.65 BB/100

You know, looking over this I've only played about 4000 hands at $0.50/1.00. I think I need to spend the rest of my first 10000 hands there and at 1/2 and not move up too quick.

I agree...moving up unless you have the bank or don't care about the money too fast can be bad for your game...it will catch up to you

[RED_RAIN]

From my brief move to 2/4 it seems we have looser callers preflop and more aggression post flop compared to 1/2. Perhaps skipping 1/2 wouldn't have been a bit deal. It did teach you how to play in that type of game but it's weird so I wonder how much good it did other than build bank.
