As a broke \"pro\" which game would you play...? (some stats)
As a "pro" which game would you play...? (some stats)
I've been playng for one year and 6-max has become my primary game. Its been like at least an hour since the last stats post so I figured I should contribute one. I've recently gotten tired of playing underrolled and dealing with stress of swings. I spent a lot of money recently on wedding stuff, a nice honeymoon, furniture, as well as ran bad at 30/60 a couple months ago and crippled my roll... I want to start treating poker like a "real job" where [hours = money] and get on with enjoying the other parts of my life. Please take a look at my situation outlined below and I would love to hear any advice you have for being a little more business-like in my poker playing. My Situation: 1) 2800 in my roll currently 2) I have 15 hours a week I can play 3) I need to cashout 2k a month starting at the end of November (74 hours from now) My experience and results thus far: still a lot of pretty big leaks obvious a few leaks patched--still some excessive calldown type of tilt showing at 10/20 due to playing high variance short handed games with scared money. At this point I am looking to 4-6 table whatever limit I play. I find I tilt much less 6 tabling than 4 as I dont have time to think up stupid "moves" to try and pull and generally play more solid ABC poker. Not tilting is one of my new priorities. 3/6 6max would def be 6-8 tabling--6 is easy for me and I feel very comfortable and confident. 5/10 6max has traditionally been my nemesis but I feel confident that long term, with my new improved style of play I would be at least a 1BB/100 winner in the game. I want stability and money but I want some intellectual challenge and sharpening of my skills to occur. I want my roll to grow and eventually do something more normal like 4 table 10/20 and 20/40 or 30/60. I also am liking the steps I have been taking to avoid tilt (keeping a log of feelings, stopping if I tilt, not pulling marathon dig myself out of a hole sessions.) I feel like a loser bazillion tabling 3/6 but financially it seesm like it may be the smartest move at this point? Any thoughts...? Between now and the end of November I have 74 hours to play and these are the options I am looking at: 3/6: ------------------------------------- 500 hands per hour x 74 = 37k hands at 2 BB/100 = $4400--smart choice? at 3 BB/100 = $6600--aim for this at 4 BB/100 = $8800 5/10: ------------------------------------- 500 hands per hour x 74 = 37k hands at 1 BB/100 = $3700 at 1.5 BB/100 = $5550 at 2 BB/100 = $7400--try this for now until I run good or lose 100BB and skulk back to 3/6? at 2.5 BB/100 = $9250 at 3 BB/100 = $11,100 |
