1200 hour mark of 1/2 and 1/3 steaks. Volume has dropped to pitiful ~15 hours a month due to job travel.



Have a couple hundred hours at 2/5 now, winrate right at $54/hr.

Nice results Donkey, that is a pretty awesome overall hourly.

Looks like things have settled down a little over the last ~550 hours (about $36/hr if I'm reading things right), although still awesome, congrats.

Gnicegiraffe,imoG

Yeah, definitely settled down. 2015 was insane, I played 300 hours and ran at over $90/hour. I don't expect to see that happen again.

Ha, 2015 was my worst year where I ran at lol $7.90/hr over 582 hours.

Gsothat'swhereallmyrungoodwent,you'rewelcome!G

Negative-sum game!

$90/hr at $1/3? even at $2/5 that is a pretty sick run.. but if that's at $1/3....

So sick nice job!

Yo-Yo results from 1Mar - today: 552.67 hrs; $14.47 pr hr playing 1/2NL

That's with 2 months closing out over $30 pr hr!

It's all about variance: V1 bets flop V2 calls; Me have 15 outs!! AI - call/call - lose.

Results for July, my first month in a new poker room:

139 hours played, up $6,290 playing 1/3.

-Includes two $300 high hand, but it’s a tiny room and they take 2 promo dollars with no bad beat.

-It’s $500 max with the option to straddle from anywhere so it often plays pretty big.

-I was out of state for 11 days so the volume was a little lacking. The run good and not having to drive 1.5 hours to get to the poker room certainly helped.

Nice job!

Nice results. Is this sugarhouse (obv don't answer if you don't feel comfortable)?

Do you have a "real" job as well or full time poker pro?

i think this is pretty much the case for all of us. one losing month a year

how can u steal from nits? when they limp they got aa or ak often and will call or reraise with a hand heavily dominating yours instead of folding. the guys who call with weaker hands, and then fold on the flop, i sure wouldnt call them nits. a nit is a guy who plays 1% or less of his hands.

Gotta assume you accidentally missed a zero?

Gotherwise,turnsoutI'mnotanitafterall!G

Not sugarhouse.

I’m playing poker full time, I have one client for my side business which only takes up about 7 hours a week.

LOL.

For reals though, a noon game full of nits who get suspicious of your aggressive playstyle but are too scared to do something about it might be better than an evening game with two fish and a few hoodie wearing TAGs. You literally just iso raise to the max and double barrel or overbet bluff a ton when these nits cap their ranges. And when they think they got you, you just fold cause they never bluff. Or you flop a set and stack them.

Just last night I was trying to iso raise a fish with T9s in the CO. Unfortunately a nit flatted on the BTN and the fish folded. Flop was AQxss got checked through. Turn J I bet 3/4 pot nit calls. River 3 I overbet he thinks for a little while then angrily throws his hand into the muck. Almost laughed out loud.

I dunno if it was Mikestarr or someone else who said 6bb/hr is the max you can win in these nitty games. If there's a couple better nits or TAGs in the mix as well, probably true. But if conditions are perfect I'm sure you can crush for more than 10. Those typical evening games with two fish and a few TAGs...they aren't necessarily solid 10 bb-able tables. I think if we win at 10bb/hr, a lot of that will be because the very good tables with whales and not so many TAGs are pulling the average up.

Wasn't me. If you play ABC TAG style play and there are lots of nits, 5-6BB/hr may be the max, but learning to LAG it up and abuse the nits will really improve the win rate even in games with small avg pot sizes.

i hit 2k hours of live cash in the past week but i’ll wait until 2500 to poast results up in honor of Avarita

Making me look bad man. Out of state 11 days and still more hours than me. I've been sick past week but that's about it.

Going to try for 150 hours this month...if it doesnt affect me too much to play longer. I usually consider 120 hours enough. But I like my sleep. And I won't play even slightly feverish. Lost too much money trying to play sick.

My brag

July (obv sustainable - mostly 1/3, a few 2/5 sessions):

But that one loss tho?

What's the thinking on PLO results here since there isn't really a LLSPLO forum? The Small Stakes has a lot of online micro stuff in it.

I've got about 350 hours of PLO this year, and only 50 of NLHE

+$1760 in July over 54.7 hours for a nice little $32/hr take.

+$400 in one 6.6 hr session in Aug

In general it seems like I've got that game finally figured out enough to turn a semi consistent profit (as consistent as PLO can be I suppose).

How do you guys count hours played in calculating winrate? I figure there are three main ways to do it.

A) Count from when driving to casino to coming back

B) Count time once seated until leaving

C) Count actual time playing hands, e.g. if your casino uses Bravo they log you out briefly when you get up to use the restroom or the table breaks etc.

I spend about 9 to 10 hours driving to the casino waiting playing cashing out and getting back home after a typical session, which nets me 7 to 8 hours on Bravo. I've been tracking method C since I figure it is most accurate for winrate and it is what my casino uses for hourly promos.

But compared to someone using A I might have like 20% fewer hours. I'm going to try to hit 150 hours this month but that might be hard if it's more like 190 hours playing waiting or driving to/from the casino. I chose 150 because there is a 400 dollar promo every 75 hours. Really wish they did that ever 50 or 60 hours because getting 150 logged in Bravo is tough.

Not that the extra 400 is that important, just something to help motivate me to play more than 25 hours a week. I really want to post some result graphs but it takes freaking forever to grow a large sample size live.
