Hey,
I'm looking for someone to help me with 1/2+ HU cash games. I win consistentely at .25/.5 and for a smaller sample at .5/1. I win at .25/.5 for about 10 bb/100.
A few years ago I played MTT's seriously. I won about 100k on FT under the name mdv85. Unfortunately, I lost most of this money playing 5/10-25/50 cash games with horrible BR management. At the time I played tourney's as well as HU cash games to support my roll. On a losing tourney day, I found it mentally satisfying to break even with cash game wins (I did win at lower stakes).
So anyway, I could beat 1/2-2/4 cash games and used them to supplement my bankroll. I played tourneys underolled with the help of the cash game winnings. But when I hit a big tourney, I would always make the mistake of jumping up into higher cash games where I could not mentally handle the losses. At the time, the funds were not that important and I was trying to become a winning regular at higher stakes HU games.
Now, I am going to school and don't have all day to sit around playing MTT's. I grind out .25/.5 for a bit of money, but it gets grueling when I am used to having a 20k plus roll. About two weeks ago, i built $500 into $3500 at .25/.5
and busto'd it trying to move up. I then spent two weeks building $500 into $4700 again at .25/.5. Once i hit $4700, i tried to take a shot at 1/2 and ran pretty bad, lost $2500. I realize I might no longer be able to beat 1/2, however I did beat 1/2 and 2/4 on FT about 2 years ago.
Bottom line, I was once a capable player winning decent money but no longer have the time to devote to tournaments. Am currently focusing on HU cash only and would like to move up to 1/2+. I dunno if you guys provide coaching/staking or what, just trying to check out my options. I am planning on spending a significant amount of time grinding HU cash, I don't want to have to do it at .25/.5. If someone can look at my hands or whatever you guys typically do, let me know.
Cliffs:
-winning tourney player/hu cash at everything below 3/6 - over 100k in tourny winnings
-lost most of roll recklessly playing higher stakes cash games
-no longer play tournys, just cash - have a smaller roll and wish to take the steps to move up to 1/2 and above
-everytime I take a shot I get knocked back down to .25/.5
-beat .25/.5 consistently
-need advice/coaching, possibly staking if you think I'm good enough etc.
