Goal: Beat 2/5 Live for $50/hr in Addition to my Career - Page 2 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Awesome results so far! I think your goal is attainable, just be weary of that live variance! It can screw with your head with how long it takes playing 25 hands an hour. Cheers!

Hey thanks I appreciate it.

Okay that’s a good reminder, I need to think of that when I’m running bad and think the world is ending rofl.

I just won a ring event today but only a handful of K up top literally

a ring is a ring!

My worst poker stretch I was down as much as $3,500 at 2/3 (600 max buyin) and it took me roughly six months to get it all back. Hopefully you are much better than me and won't deal with that LOL cheers!

Oh shiitt, 3.5k for 2/3 is quite a lot. 600 buyin makes it a bit more understandable tho but yeah that’s rough. Haha I’m guessing something like that will come

So I played in the tournament of champions at wsop via the ring event and busted unfortunately (low one hundreds out of 750 people so close to the cash)

Busted from a guy named Landon Tice directly to my right.

Other than that I haven’t played much due to my job but I’m going to continue trying to play 2/5 cash and some 5/10 in Vancouver poker scene.

If the buy in caps are pretty high, you can easily make 20-25bb/hr at 1/3 and 2/5 live without being one of the best in the world. Much harder if they are capped at 100bb though.

Hoping you post 60/hr @ 1k hrs for the original douche in your thread. GL!!!

25bb/hr?
Don’t think even the best of crushers in the world can do that in a significant sample.

Trying to get some hours in still slowly trucking along.

Im not a super sophisticated player, I’m mainly just disciplined. But not like overly knitty and I will make sure to mix bluffs in.

But I’m realizing this 2/5 game is not very sophisticated either. The main thing is just not tilting and you will make money I feel like.

Its a bit sad that like a lot of the profit is from some guy tilting off a few grand in one sitting. Ideally it would be nice to claim that the profits are from playing extremely well but it’s not really the case

Hit the 20k milestone in profit from cash game

I work a 2 week on, 1 week off schedule. So I can only play on my off week. I got 21 hours of poker in for this off week.

What’s the truth? Lol

I’ve always thought the general rule was 10bb/hr at 2/5 is realistically the top one can do long term.

I want to see some stats on realistic win rates.

One fact is that max buy in would change the potential win rates so maybe that’s one reason win rates seem so different.

If there’s a whale on the table capable of making big mistakes, his mistakes are obv gonna be way more brutal at 300bbs vs 100bbs.

I’d be interested to see more live samples from people too

Took a $7000 tonking over the weekend playing at the WSOP Graton Circuit in Northern California.

Fired off 4k in tourney buyins and played a decent amount of 3/5 and was down in both.
