Is that sands?
I was dumb enough to play at 9am on a monday there once. 1 table, with Vladimir the Great. That was a tough table.

T/T's at parx only afaik

I was at 5/10 in Bellagio earlier this year when a scary Russian guy comes to the table, player card says 'Vlad the Impaler'. Thick accent, gucci bag with $50k+, crazy aggro. Same guy?

Limon made an interesting post in his 2k thread today about winrates.

Hahaha, all of that's ridiculous. I don't think so

.

I don't think $5 chips not playing necessarily make the games play bigger. Bellagio (essentially) doesn't use $5 chips but their 5/T plays relatively small.


Poker is poker. 100bbs is definitely still enough if the games are juicy. I'd recommend waiting until you are better rolled prior to taking shots though.

^ this is actually more than just true, smaller chips make a game play looser (and bigger). Every limit player knows why there is 20/40 and not 25/50

Absolutely correct.

Look at all the limit games.

3/6, 4/8, 6/12, 8/16

See something missing?

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN.

*head explodes***

"I can't raise to $35? Okay I raise to $40"

Call call call

Now you have a pot that is $160 rather than $140

If that's the result you expect then maybe you should be raising to $40 even if the $5s played.

Bip is right of course, though we never covered "more than true" in my Logic 101 course.

A raise to $40 is actually on the low end in the 5/T games I play in (uses $5 chips). It would be on the high end for the Vegas games i've played...they love 3x ($10 chips).

That being said I've never played in a 5/T game that is strictly a red chip game. i.e. players are using greens to raise and nobody is raising to just $25.

When LHE existed, plenty of 5/10 and 10/20 out there. Heck, LHE usually jumps from 4/8 to 10/20...20/40...50/100 from what I've seen lately...

But lol the 2 chip vs 3 chip debate.

You said one thing in this poast I'll give you props for

Holy carp! Those bookends are impressive.

ZOMG! Pretty sure I'm not a loser (at least at 1/3 playing primarily peak hours).

STD BB*2/ sqrt of total hours = +/- observed BB per hour

82*2/ sqrt of 172 (LOL) = +/- 12.5

Observed BB per hour is 12.6 (had good sesh last weekend!!)

12.6 - 12.5 = .1 I'm a winner! 30 cents per hour!!

-$2.67 per hour falls in the range for all blind levels though.

Can I find you on the coaching forum?

Bip posts really good info.

If anyone is focused on balance at 2/5 and below they are doing it wrong. Especially with stacks <200bbs.

Every fiber of energy should be used to study the weird unbalanced lines live players like to take and exploit them.

Many here think they value bet pretty thin but they probably don't. And they sure as hell do not bluff enough in the right spots or bluff catch really light like they should.

The guys who you should be worried about balance against are like unicorns in live poker 2/5 and below.

I have just moved up to play $2/$4 400 NL on the 12th of Sept and would like to share my results! I totally understand I am most likely on a mad heater because my 1/3 results was significantly under this. (6bb/hr over ~300 hours)





I actually have played everyday hence the mad volume, but I am starting to feel a very strong lack of motivation, I went into mad tilt yesterday and spewed a buy in because I just wanted to leave (i promptly did leave! but I was not very bright for wasting a buy in)
Motivation tips?

Filtered out date range since I don't want a bunch of people telling me to play more poker. I play primarily online. Discussed this to death in my thread and not playing a ton is a big contributing factor to my winrate. Filtered out the bankroll number since it's a completely irrelevant number that doesn't reflect my actual bankroll or life roll. My "bankroll" is about 20k for day to day poker stuff. Sample size is from when I lost my iphone sometime last year.

Just went through my Iphone today and realized how much better I have gotten at poker since sometime last year when I decided to start studying and playing primarily online.

I'm in Las Vegas, the worst place to be a professional poker player, but the best place to live.

Last 500hrs of poker, mostly 2/5


Last 850hrs, all I have on my phone from sometime last year when I lost my old phone.
