It would definitely be waste of time if it was about money
I dont think i have ever said that i was able to beat plo200, i did play that stake for a while and braked even ev-wise. Stakes below that i have beat with some table selecting thought. I think that i have never overestimated my own abilities in plo, and i have never needed to prove myself or others that i could beat regfests.
Back to this challenge;
I have to take something back what i wrote in opening, i didnt remember/know that there were so many stakes under plo25
and i am not going to play all those stakes. I decided to go with plo2-plo4-plo10-plo20-plo50
I have played 3 or 4 little sessions so far and im somewhere at 11 bins up ev and hoping that i have more time for this **** in close future.
So why am i doing this if it was not a rebuild?
I started playing at stars when thay got their EU license, debosited only 600$ what was the maximum amount of first debo bonus if i remember correct, started to run ok from 25-50(had decent roll for plo100 on other site) and built stars roll from that amount. About 13-14 months ago i started to run horribly at plo200, dropped to plo100, kept on running badly and soon i was down over 15k from my top point. At that point my online roll was getting pretty small and feelings about playing going down (poker is a hobby for me, thought it seems like i really cant enjoy it even a little bit when i run horribly for longer time), so i was on the borderline: do i really enjoy playing poker so much that i want to put effort in it or am i going to do something else i have been thinking lately.
I felt that i didnt want to move money to stars at this point to play plo100 "tilted" but i wasnt ready to give up this hobby yet....so...i am going to do this just to see if i love the game enough that i can do it WELL without there was any "real money" in it. Other thing is that if i play really small long enough, maybe pots at plo100 would feel like real money again.
