I think if you are only doing 2BB/100 4 tabling then you should improve your game before adding tables. IMO 4BB/100 is attainable as long as you aren't playing off peak hours.

I agree (though you have to be pretty damn good to maintain 4bb/100 at 2/4). The play at 2/4 is pretty awful and a player should improve to at least 2.5bb/100 before moving up or changing from 4 to 8 tables. Also, my computer is going crazy.

I just 8-tabled 6-max. After an hour, I'm burnt out. I got in around 800 hands. My VPIP also dropped by 6 points from its normal.

My brain is unbelievably fried.

The fact you lived for an hour is impressive enough.

It's around there. Maybe a little higher.

it allows you a glimpse into the weak tight world of 3/6 without being fully engulfed.

Find better tables and you're winrate will go up a lot... if you're not playing with rakeback, play the bad beat jackpot tables. if you don't play on party, go ahead and check out the jackpot tables for a point of reference for what a good loose-passive 3/6 game looks like... i hope you're not really playing weak-tight games in 3/6 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I wonder how many people in the world make 3400 a day playing poker.

Why would it matter? Most people lose money playing poker.

Well we're going on a little over 100k hands above 4BB/100 (maybe 60-70% at peak hours) including a 200BB downswing and a couple 10k breakeven stretches. Absurd it is not. I might not be doing it, but I also can't seem to beat anything higher than 3/6 either.

[/ QUOTE ]

If both of your factual statements are true, then you are running hot at 2/4. There is no appreciable difference in skill required to beat 3/6.

"It was a rhetorical question Errol. What have I told you about thinking?"

I love that movie.

The point was that there's exactly 0 people in the world that make that much playing poker. But then I had just now read the rest of the thread and it's already been mentioned, so it's moot [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
