A Clueless NL Noob Reaches 6000 Hours of Live 1/3 NL
Hi, I’m gobbledygeek! I’ve just reached 6000 hours of live 1/3 NL!
Took me almost 15 years to do. Lol @ me, ldo.
The lol 1000 hour breakdowns in all their glory / ugliness. I included the maximum rake + BBJ drop + high hand promo at the end of each segment; just trying to keep my head above water while getting tossed more and more bricks?
1st: $28.94 (5+1)
2nd: $27.72 (5+1)
3rd: $13.74 (6+1)
4th: $12.33 (7+1)
5th: $19.19 (8+1)
6th: $23.68 (9+1+1)
To be honest, I’m shocked my last two 1000 hour segments went as well as they did due to the ever-increasing rake being such a massive burden. For one fleeting moment after a recent session on March 28, 2024, my winrate sat at $21.00 (officially 7 bbs/hr, yah!)… the first time it has been at $21.00+ since December 31, 2019. On the other hand, it hasn’t been under $20.00 since September 27, 2011. So I got that goin’ for me.
As always, I’m pessimistic about the future. The rake will no doubt go up again soon enough, and it is scary to note that we aren’t even close to what some rooms back east are raking. And after playing 10 handed all this time, last month our room finally went to 9 handed… which my method would not prefer. Like everything, I’ll guess we’ll just see what happens.
