Nice read, of what a real pro would go through. (the ups and downs).

That month I played 287 hands of 30/60, 506 hands of 15/30, 418 hands of 5-10 6 max, 29k hands of 3/6, and 52k hands of 5-10 full. I also played a ton of hands at another site that doesnt do PT where I "semiprop" at,

Matt are you still 4-tabling, or are you now up to 8 ?

I've been 8 tabling since last September and then 10 and 11 tabling all the way through this last month to where I switched to 4 5-10 6 max, 1 or 2 3-6 6 max, and then 2 5-10 full and 1 3/6 full at a smaller site. So now I'm 8 or 9 tabling, but used to do 10 or 11 and even 12.

So what games are you playing? Right now? Or say past 2-3 months?

I posted on these boards about moving up a few months ago and got responses from "good post" to "you [censored] idiot" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

It surprises me to hear you don't get burnt out playing 35 hours/week. I find playing more than a few hours a day extremely tough mentally.

Why not move on to higher limits? Higher stakes?

Say you make 1bb/hour playing 3/6. That's what - 6*8 = 48$/hour you're making 8 tabling.

If you were to play 4 tables of 15/30, that's 120$/hour you're making.

I'd suggest just moving on to 30/60 since 240$/hour is more than satisfactory, and not something you're going to reach playing 5/10 or lower no matter how many tables or how good your runs are.

Your logic is undeniable.

Well as I said I was doing $100 SNGS last month, than this month I have been concentrating on 6-max. I am trying to improve my game right now, it isnt necessarliy abut the money, though I think you are underestimating a few things. I made $36 an hour in rake last month so that has to be figured in everything.

I plan to get to 15/30 and 30/60 sometime soon.
