Been within 10 BBs of it, but I can't sustain a run at 1/2 6-max long enough to get over the hump. I'm roughly 20 BBs off right now.

My $.50/$1 report...

[ QUOTE ]
Finished up the first level in about 3 hours, 20 minutes this morning 4-tabling. My oh my, did I NOT need a thread filled with comments on how to play .5/1 laggy. I'm wondering how well I'll adjust to 1/2 max, 2/4, and 3/6. I've been mostly treading water at 2/4 and 3/6 ever since I moved up to them a couple months back, so I'm not sure if I need to be looser or less aggressive (trust me, I don't need to be MORE aggressive). We'll see when I get there, I suppose.

Stats
Total Hands: 737
Amount Won: $58.24
BB/100: 7.9
VPIP: 25.64%
PFR: 13.57%
Aggression Factor: Flop - 5, Turn - 3.3, River - 2.69, Total - 3.8

My $1/$2 (6-max) report...

[ QUOTE ]
Finished up the second level in about 3 hours, 20 minutes (same as $.50/$1) this afternoon 4-tabling. I've only played maybe 3000 hands of $1/$2 6-max before, and felt comfortable there (mostly because it seems to suit my straightforward, aggro style). I went on a good run early but stalled out for awhile, and eventually dropped back to only +20 BB before finally going on another run. I stopped, thinking I was at the 50 BB mark, and then discovered I was $.75 short, so I popped two tables back open to make it official. Worth it as I hit trip 9s and got paid off.

Stats
Total Hands: 940
Amount Won: $123.50
BB/100: 6.57
VPIP: 28.94%
PFR: 16.60%
Aggression Factor: Flop - 6.2, Turn - 4.33, River - 3.71, Total - 4.8

[/ QUOTE ]

I'll continue posting short updates and a hand or two in the thread, but will be blogging about it a bit more indepth on my new poker blog, just another LAG.

Good luck all. I've got a thing that needs to be done in 3 hours so taking a break from poker to finish that up by deadline.

Will someone fill me in on the details of this challenge? It's right around the limits I am working on so maybe I can get in?

start at 1/2. move up when you reach +50bb for each level, drop down when you are -25bb. see how far you get in 20k hands.

No...

start at .5/1, move up every 50bb. if you lose more than 25 bb at a limit, you should move down but don't have to (my own rule). if you end up in the red overall you must go back to .5/1. there is no time or hand limit. goal is to get to IP 150/300 pound [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The return of the avatar, the nonchalant exam flunking, the roll disintegration, the multiple personalities, the fact that he's a girl.
