I think I might have it. +1500 at 2/5 today. Started with $2k cash money and am going to play GG poker until I get it up to $10k.

It doesn't take that much.

I was getting kind of mad/nervous when my hourly dropped under $15. It took (in addition to a ton of studying) 150+ hours of making almost $4K to raise my hourly to $17.50. I wasn't even 500 hours when it dropped into the $14s.

Players put way too much effort into worrying about how much they make.

details pls.

does LA has "softer games" in general than Vegas?

..btw, what would be a ranking chart (from hardest #1 to softest #4) of "good games" @ 1/2, 1/3, 2/5 NHL for the 4 main zones: Vegas, LA, Atlantic City, Florida

Florida, LA, AC, Vegas in my experience

Vegas games aren't so much tougher as they are tighter, in that even the spots are playing a relatively nitty style so their mistakes are less costly.

Somebody else could tell you something completely different ive only had maybe a 100hour sample size in each of these places.

Making 10bb/hr in Vegas is a beast? Hard to believe.

My experience has been that AC was tough because of the number of grinders/pros (semi-pros probably) and the lower table selection at the good rooms. Borgata and Taj had lots of ****ty tables (although Borgata was better).

Vegas had a little more flexibility in terms of table selection to find a good game. Later at night and in the rooms less known for poker you can find spew-monkeys. Likewise the big rooms had enough tables with soft spots that a TC or two fixed any issues (or a room change if you need a stretch).

So Vegas was softer in my experience.

Detroit's pretty soft too, at most tables.

Haven't gotten to play in LA/FL yet.

Stay away from Florida. Games are dead. Players are solid.

Florida games were laughably bad when I played there years ago. Borgata in AC isn't as soft as it used to be but good tables can be found with a table change or two.

Yea, but many of them suck. And an overly aggro wannabe is sometimes a lot more profitable than a fit or fold tourist.

Florida games confirmed tough. The rake is the only winner here

Extremely small sample size - but at 17.36 over 160 hours at my local 1/2 game. Definitely some serious leaks in my game, but overall I am happy considering I had a 30 hour 950bb downswing in the middle.

Assuming that I don't play tomorrow, starting August 1st last year after summer school ended, 1 year of playing more seriously, reading/posting 2+2 at least 30 minutes every day, trying to not be a spaztastic lagtard maniac, results:

Cash (Mostly1/2, a bit of 1/3, 2/5, 5/5):


lolBinkaments (Mostly $75 - $150 range, a bunch of $340's, a few $550's, and a $1,500 Milly Maker, come on one time!)


Total:


So much more to learn still.
But thanks to 2+2 for everything so far.

If you dont mind me asking, what's your itm% and roi in tourneys? How many have you played? Also, what's the average field size, average rake% and field percentage the casino pay.

I am asking because i am down 4000 after my first 35 ones and although i ve made some mistakes trying to adjust to live ranges, i should be winning in those and i am trying to figure out how long i can go before i encounter the positive side of variance and also what kind of hourly i can expect in those.

dgiharris had a really cool model for tournament stuff. Check his thread or pm him and I'm sure he'll send it your way or re-host it or whatever.

~~~first 500 hours tracked~~~


Finished July 125 hours $5568 profit @ $3/5 nl

Tracked 528 hours 29 minutes since March ( I have a full time job can only play a couple hours after work)

528.5 hours $36.33/hour $19,200 profit

Pretty happy with how things are going. I had about a 1.5 months where I had a tough stretch and lost aprox $2500 but had won pretty good before then. Since then I've played almost 300 hours and tracking $55/hour.
