Bunch of tech fish itt.

It's the official app for 2+2 forum and you can upload pic directly from your phone using the app.

I am coming up on a significant sample size of hours. I have recorded 5 different $10k downswings over close to 3k hours of live poker, which make me think a $20k bankroll is required for 2/5 as well as six months of living expenses. What do you guys think?

Yes, more the merrier.

I lokked at your deleted posts, and 2/3 look fine to me. post the pic somewhere not blocked by 2+2 (photobucket is fine, I sue tinypic.com). Then hit "Insert Image" (icon looks like a lame landscape painting) and enter the URL of where the pis is posted.

EZ game.

Anybody ever posted a significant poker journal with at least 2000 hours yet? Would love to compare with mine but i dont think anybody ever has?

You a LAG? Uncapped buy-in? Those are huge downswings.

i would seriously consider the possibility that you aren't a good/winning player if you've dropped 20+ buy-ins 5 different times in 3000 hours. im not sure that is standard. could be wrong. just a thought that would cross my mind.

The point is to float the flop ship the turn if he checks. When he checked the turn I can assure you he was not trapping with queen high. He checked because he didn't want to get it in but couldnt help himself. Anyway, I'm not going to go from chess to checkers to grind out $40/hr.

Mikestarr, yes I play bad in 2-5 in general since a buyin is 1 BB from the good old days although I played this hand fine.

Maybe you guys don't understand how big games are played. I'm aware some $2-5 grinders lay down a pair every time someone leads out into them or lays down top pair/overpair everytime they get raised post flop but you will not beat the bigger games this way. I've seen a few players try to move up into our weekly game and get up after an hour or two without winning a pot post flop because they didn't expect so much heat.

So you are aware how $2/$5 games are played, but you still played a $2/$5 game like a $10/$25 game? You obviously think you are better than everyone else, but you also cant beat a $2/$5 game so I would have to seriously question that.

Since you are constantly complaining that there are no more high stakes games (where people play the way you like to play), and you cant beat $2/$5 games because the players are just too bad for you....I guess you have to quit poker. There's just not enough good players for you to win anymore.

I didn't realize your HH was from a 10/25 game...oh wait it wasnt. Go whine somewhere else because your ego is so big you can ONLY play bigger games. Just like not all hands are played the same not all games are the same. You keep mentioning bigger games and 10/25 like it's the only way poker is played. Fact is 99% of 2/5 games never play the way you speak of. So when we point out how the 2/5 hand you posted was played poorly and the reasoning behind it the response we get is basically we are just nits grinding. LOL GL in that new career

Those are some massive downswings. You must be playing one hell of an aggressive style. Whats your win rate?

Yes. 4k hours. A few months ago.

I'm sure I posted mine at 2000 hours and perhaps even a few after that (at least my winrates / giraffes).

Sad isn't it? It's just miserable sitting at a table with a bunch of losing players. How can we possibly win?

For some reason, good higher stake winners never seem to be able to beat bad lower stake players.

I have heard that since dawn of time.

Hard to win when your opponents are too stupid to know when to fold, lolz.

GyadayadayadaG

so wat yer sayin is I should stop playin 1/3-2/5 cuz im losin and play +5/T?

goti t!

Yeh because people fold to your agression in 5/10 +

EZ game

Except when they don't, then you just lose more money.

Or call it variance.

4-6bbs an hr in mostly 1k cap games although I regularly add on extra blacks. I have a lot of leaks and things to work on but one of the best players I know regularly loses 4K a night playing the same games. I don't think 10k swings are that uncommon and I really feel like playing over rolled is the way to go. There really isn't anything stopping you from having your four worst days back to back to back, which is over 10k for a lot of people.


I am not that great at poker yet

4-6BBs/hr is not bad at all considering most people lose. However, I would say you need to figure out why you are having such big downswings. Thats not all that normal. One of the best players you know regularly loses $4k per night? If that's the case, hes not as good as you think he is and you need to get to know some better players.

I hit a milestone of 100 sessions since learning there were poker apps to record your sessions.

Very solid - nice work

Like I said it was one BB. 10-25 is just what I play lately. In Macau I played 300-600 through 2000-5000 HKD. I don't have a big ego as I was rarely the best player in those games except for when I first got there in 2008. If I had a big ego I would be playing nosebleeds online. Instead I just collect rents and dividends.

^^^^ @ MikeStarr

Sick session winning percentage too.
