hey pattay
what types of things did you consider when moving up in stakes other than bankroll, or did you just move up whenever you hit x buyins?
Do you play 2/4 b/c you think you will have the best hourly there or do you think you might actually make more at 1/2 with all the neat tricks you've picked up?
What did you do/what do you think someone should do to improve their game and prepare for moving up besides putting in a lot of hands? How necessary do you think moving up to a certain level is to really be ready to beat it (ie you can't really learn what you need to solidly beat 2/4 by just playing 1/2 for a long time)? And yeah, I want to reiterate the working on your game question. Anything specific you look for in PT? Did you ever examine a certain reg's play to either exploit him or learn from what he does well?
thanks dude

i play where i think i can make the most money, and i highly doubt thats 1/2 at this point. also, for some weird reason my winrate hasnt really differed very much across all limits, its been a steady 1-1.5, so naturally im playing as high as i can basically (5/10, because 10/20 doesnt really run, and when it does its filled with HSNL players a lot)
im a big proponent of learning through doing, and just putting in hands for improvement, and i think its the best way to improve (although i would be careful with this advice, because im not sure a lot of other MSNL players would agree with that, including plenty who have much better winrates than myself). i just always felt that if i could make money WHILE i learned how to make money, why would i ever do anything else? even if im not learning the quickest way, im GETTING PAID to learn, so hallelujah.
regarding needing to be at a limit to learn it, yes, its necessary to some degree because limits do play differently, but probably not as necessary as you think. ive said it along with many others, that when moving up for the first time, over-adjustment is often the biggest reason why we always seem to "hit a downswing" when moving up. the play from one level to the next is different, but not THAT different. for the most part, the bigger winners at a lower limit will be at least a slightly winning player a limit higher (until you get to like HSNL, where each limit is vastly different in my opinion.
other than grinding to get better, i cant really speak on much else because i havent really done much else. i know main spoke of picking a "reg of the day" and analyzing his play through pokertracker, trying to find leaks, and i think this is great. and you really dont need pokertracker to examine a certain player either. just play half the amount of tables one day, and try to get on as many tables as you can with a player who you think is good and watch what they show down with, bet sizes in certain situations, flops they wont c-bet or will, what they are playing out of the blinds, etc.
2) not weird if her name was actually pattay, but i bet it was patty. but no, i would never think anyone thinking of me would be weird
plan on making elite and playing at least two tournies next year, but might make it 3 or more depending on how frisky im feeling. i doubt i would play live cash besides in vegas around the wsop next year
hmmm, could go either way. if poker is still this lucrative for me, i could try to take as much as i can out of the game while its still around, but if it isnt, at some finance or other business job, working and living in philly. and single, but who knows, that could go either way and i could deal with either

you seem to be a natural at poker, given that you were profitable immediately at sng, you use very limited tools (minimal pt, no hud, minimal notes), very limited visual space (15-24 tables on 15'')...
what do you think are the qualities that you have and that most people dont have to explain this?

great well so far.
what are your goals in poker?
what level do you think u could beat in june 09?
do you play omaha or any other form of poker?
do you intent to learn any other form of poker besides hold'em?
what winrate would somebody like BT, CTS, Jman achieve 4 tabeling 2-4, 3-6, 5-10 full ring?

in june 09, i would doubt i would be a winning 10/20 player, so probably the same limits i can beat now. i think 10/20 is a gigantic huge quantum leap, and takes things like studying and whatever else. i dont have the desire to ever move past 5/10 really, though i can see myself taking shots out of boredom
i play nothing but nlhe, and have no desire to play anything else. i am a complete amateur in every other game.
probably at least 8
it sounds like im the weird one, not you, judging by results from other people in this forum

A+ thread
If you were given the option of being a 12ptbb winner but not have any of your br management skills would you take it?
How long are your sessions usually? Does it change when you are winning or losing?
Planning to play any big tournaments live when you hit 21?
What ethnicity are you?

my sessions are a couple of hours long usually, something like 3-8, with about the same amount shorter as longer. if im losing i tend to play a little more, but not a lot
playing probably PCA and monte carlo (if i can take off from school) if i get elite. wanna also play in the ME
my mom is from the phillipines. im also 3/8 irish and 1/8 italian.
never been an issue, it actually gives me plenty of jokes i wouldnt normally have
as far as i know, no, but i have plenty of family in the phillipines ive never seen nor talked to
lol you old people and your racism. i cant even get mad because i know youre from a different time
originally i had problems with it, then when it worked it made me over-use the stats i was seeing. plus the stats can be deceiving and lead to very false conclusions. it clutters the screen and bothers me. when i massive multitable, it lags my ****ty computer. and the new HUD on pt3 sucks john kruk's nut. plus, by this point, ive played with most regs and have a general sense of their preflop looseness and aggression, although ive looked through pt and been kinda shocked a few times lol

Belok;
Your raise sizes also tend to make me focus on playing you well, because it makes me notice every time you bet. I tend to not notice other 17/13+ aggro players and not really make sure to defend/etc more vs them, but I always notice your raises and thus can play much better vs you. I personally think your raise size puts you at a bigger disadvantage than anything(you get the 1-2 fish per table to maybe fold a hand without thinking because they think it is an all-in, maybe like once a week? lol), but I am just giving my opinion
