I think those are a perfect value. But that means you have to be playing other tourneys/sngs to use them...

lol stars

Wat?

they canceled a cashout i made in mid october lol

Will it completely kill the value to trade them to a site that trades T$/W$?

Yes, those are bad rates. Look here and you can probably sell an $11 ticket for like $10.75 or better...

One of the more recent posts is someone selling $22 for $21.50.

So I think offering $11 for $10.75 would work perfectly.

yeah, i was broke for a week because it took over 3 weeks to get a check. echeck didnt go through, which they told me 2 weeks later, and it took a week for the paper check to get here. did a wire transfer on monday morning and it was here wed morning. i need to stop waiting until i need money to cash out

I just did a cash out last week. Did it on sat night and was in my bank account first thing Tuesday morning.

I call bs. suuuuuuuuuuure, we believe you made a cashout.

wtf wtf, get out of my omaha8 tournament

Had to take it before lost it all to Slimfast, ldo.

OH THE HORROR

I haven't been to a grocery store in years

confirmed ghetto kid

On the border of moving up to the .25/.50 tables. Anyone playing that level at this point? I just need a smallish winning session tomorrow, and I'll start adding in some quarter tables.

yes, have 1/4 of a brain. the rest is easy. talk to cole, he is able to beat this level (barely).

Oh, I have no doubt that I'll be beating the .25/.50 level by somewhere around 3bb/100. I was just wondering if there were any regs in here playing at that level. If I hadn't started the .10/.20 tables with a 100bb downswing from trying to 9 table I probably would have run around 5bb/100 or so. I still ended up with 2bb/100 over 10K sample or so.

I have since moved down to 3-4 tabling, which seems to be about right for me at this point. I will probably start with 1-2 tables of each level until I get a feel for the level though.

I would suggest you make it your personal mission to use the search function and read every thread/post you can find in the LHE forums about variance, sample sizes, win rates, and risk of ruin. You'll find some great posts. You'll learn a ton.

You have a 10k sample where you dramatically changed your play some way through. Let's say you have two 5k samples. Based on that, you basically know nothing about your long term win rate. A 100 BB "downswing" is nothing, and you've written it off to bad play; it might just be a normal result of you 9 tabling 6m at this point.

Winning is good. Keep doing that. Good luck as you move up. As you move up to stakes where a BR has real meaning (i.e. you couldn't easily re-deposit and keep playing), it would be worth your while to understand the terms you're using. We've all been there throwing around stats terms in wrong ways. The long run is an annoyingly long way away. The best news is that you'll probably move up a couple more limits due to profit before you come close to a significant sample. That's normal/good.

I kind of thought after I reread that post it might come across as a brag. That is not what I meant. I have been playing this game for 7 years, and I have been a winning player for the last 1/2 of that time at stakes as high as 5/T. My biggest problem has always been BR management. The 5/T games aren't nearly as soft as they were when I was beating them, so lets say maybe I'm good enough to beat 1/2 or 2/4.

I know I am good enough to beat the current levels I am playing, because I have read nearly all of the BR stuff and the win rate stuff to be found on this site. The reason I am doing so well at the moment is 2 fold. First, I have finally decided to stick to a BR plan. Second, I am constantly reading and rereading SSH and all of the strategy posts that I can find on this amazing web site.

Please don't take me saying that I know I can beat this level as a brag, but more as I am finally doing what I am supposed to do, and listenening to the advice of others such as yourself. I know that 100bb is a drop in the bucket, and I know that my current tracking of 15K hands is piddly. I have probably played in the neighborhood of 500K hands or so of poker over my career, but I am just finally listening to the right people.

Thank you tremendously for the advice!

"Shakes fist"

.25/.50 is very easy. There will be a lot of limpers. I assume you're talking about 6max. You want to not be so LAGTAGish, but rather TAGish as you will be playing a lot of pots 4+ handed. There will be a lot of cold callers, etc.


Edit: Just read LSUfan1's post. 3BB/100 is a quite a high expectation. Even at this level. There are probably a few regs, but they are most likely awful. Maybe you'll see Distajo around.

I guess I should just keep #'s to myself unless they are after the fact. I'm obviously not certain that I can maintain 3bb/100, because so many things can happen. I just think that if the quarter level is similar to the dime level, which it appears to be on the surface, then I think I will do well.

Thanks a ton for the info Cole! It sounds like I should be ok playing exactly the way I was playing at the dimes. I played 24/12 over 10K, and simply gave credit for a hand on most raises and c/r, especially to those guys who were playing 45/0. I tended to call down the decent regs a bit more if I had TPTK or better, in general.

whenever i have bad players at a table (which will be always if playing .25/.50), i try to play *more* hands, not less.

this, there may be many 4handed pots which will make you not want to iso you weak offsuit Ax Kx Qx etc so much (with multiple limpers to you/loose players left to act) but you can overlimp tons of suited crap in position and even some offsuit connectors plus will be able to coldcall some decent suited hands/small pps when there are a few coldcallers already or very loose/not 3betting but always coldcalling fish behind.. So I don't agree that tightening up is the answer, you just need to adjust your preflop strategy.

1. play every hand
2. ???
3. profit
