Not sure what is more impressive wj: your crushing stats, your ability to plow thru the run bad, or just the dedication to the hours you put in.

Gimpressive,imoG

Agreed its something I felt like I've gotten better at but still need to work on. I will jump back on ship pout free ty

Yeah amazing results for february, and despite all that running bad for jan, stats still impressive for 1/2 and for sure above average even among winning players. Well done

Great graphs wj. You are crushing

nice graphs. very impressive

If you start with 300 on 1/2 NL how often will you rebuy in a given day before calling it quits when you are running bad, just wondering?

GL keep crushing

Thanks. When running bad I just consider it a temporary loan, they always give it back in the end.

I usually just top off my stack when it gets below ~$250. Stop-loss always depends on how good the game is, but generally 3-4 buy-ins is my max. If the game is amazing I'll just keep buying in. The Palms game that I lost $1800 on was playing more like a $2/5 with a ultimate last action button straddle and lots of splash pots and aggro players driving the action. Just ran incredibly bad, lost AT < A9 all-in pre for $1000 pot (splash pot ftw) when he binked a river 9. Lost JJ vs 78s in a 4-bet pot for $900 when he flopped a SF draw and got there with half of stacks in pre, lost JJ vs 27s on a 27x board, lost AA vs Tx on a TxxT drawy board, you get the idea. So that sucked, but took a couple days off to relax and got it all back and more the following week.

Do you play with a time limit? How do you know when to cash out when you're losing?

its a shame you ended up taking a break in Feb. If you had played full hours, you might have been able to go back into that "100K in 1 year" thread and talk trash about being on pace to all the ppl that were saying it couldnt be done.

No time limit, cashing out just depends on how the game is going. If the action is good and/or stacks are deep, I'll stay for a while and try to get unstuck, but if the action players/fish leave and the table selection sucks I'll call it a night. Sometimes it gets down to one or two short-handed tables and it's near-impossible to generate any big pots...at that point it's time to go home.

Visited grandpa for a week and then ended up with an unexpected trip cross country to work on a big insurance case, didn't have much choice. I still think $100k has at least a 10% chance of happening for a player that can crush and put in the hours. Hard to play that many hours when I have a "real job", January was just an anomaly. Most months are more like 90-140 hours. Played a ton of hours in January spending all my time trying to get unstuck on those losing days, haha.

I should keep separate track of my winrate with 7 or more players vs. 6 or less.

I seem to consistently lose when it's down to 4, especially with a couple of looser players in the game. Probably because I'm opening up my aggression ranges, trying to bluff more, and they're calling down with even worse hands (apparently they do understand that hands are worth more short-handed), so my aggression becomes (ironically) even more useless.

100k a year is definitely doable but you need to be putting in 160 hours a week (at 2-5)

It gets much better if you can play in deeper games

The LVL thread was about making $100k playing 1/2 for 2500 hours in a year. 160 hours a week is a lot, 160 hours a month not so bad

Huh? Crusher can do $50/hr for 2k hours and get there...2k hours=40 hrs/week

wow 160 hrs per week that does not leave much time for anything else

assume u mean 160/month my man

Oops i meant 160/month LOL

160 a week your living at the casino and sleeping 1 hour a day rofl


Hmmm now that i think about it though.... If i could put in enough time doing 160 a week i could be a million in less than a year!!

Lol

F it one of these days i should just go grind 24 hours plus. The longest ive ever gone is 14 hours (when i first started) I get so burnt out now after just 6 hours its kind of demoralizing.


Wish i had a poker buddy i could grind with. Would make it easier

HLB, you're making the bad assumption that your WR remains constant regardless number of hours spent at the table.

And it definitely does not! Though I've already tried and lost this argument (lost by default of quitting the argument)

Yes you are correct there are definitely diminishing returns

Usually yes. Sometimes, the table is just THAT good!

My record is 60 hours and it was idiotic.

Coming up on 700 hours live 2/5nl. Meaningfulness of winrate?

3.5x as meaningful as my near 200 hours at $1/2 NL

Better than nothing. But not terribly meaningful. Think I've had break even streaks (500 hours) that are nearly as long as your sample. But I also play mostly omaha.

Almost worthless but you'll have a good idea if you are a winning player

From what I understand variance in those two are entirely different beasts. Just starting to learn plo
