I'd like to sell up to $500 in action for the $1500 WSOP 8-game starting on June 11th.

I've been a live cash game "serious recreational" player for approaching 20 years now, always learning and seeking to improve across multiple games. I've done really well over the years in live small-to-mid stakes games (O8, HORSE, LHE, NLHE) -- I'll post the numbers after I aggregate them across two accounting systems. I expect to have a small edge overall in a WSOP 1500 -- I've played a few of these in O8 and 8-game, and found that the early rounds have a lot of absolutely clueless play. Of course the competition gets tougher from there, but I think my good understanding across the games will keep my late round EV pretty close to zero. So, overall, a small edge.

The best evidence will be years of posts all over the different forums to show how I think about poker in general and the games in the mix specifically. I can curate some if there's interest.

This will be a fun new experience for me, just to see where it leads. DM me and let's talk about it. This is my first time seeking stakes here, but what the heck, seems worth a try.

Good excuse to collate my stats (homebrewed spreadsheet until Nov 2016; Poker Manager then to the present; because PM is hard to filter on without doing it in my own exported spreadsheet, there may be some small reporting errors).

Limit hold'em

0.48 big bets/hr over 666 hours
stakes range from $4-8 to $40-80; mostly 8-16 and 20-40


Small spread-limit hold'em
I consider 3-100 and greater to go in a different bucket, more like NLHE

2.11 max bets/hr over 357 hours
stakes $2-12 to $3-40 spread


Limit Omaha hi-lo including limit Big O 8
0.88 non-kill big bets/hr over 1948 hours
stakes from $3-6 to $40-80; mostly $8-16 and $15-30 with partial kills.


I'll post the stud and big-bet games later. Here are some rough stats on the big bet games from my Poker Manager (starting Nov 2016 so they need to be merged in with earlier numbers)

I'm +$13.42 an hour over a meaningless sample of 131.7 hours at NLHE, mostly $1-2 and $1-3 with some $2-5.
PLO, not so good -- minus $94.58 an hour over 45.8 hours at mostly $1-2-5 and a bit of $5-5, lots of short-stacking. I have leaks but the games are clearly beatable and very high variance.
