no I was trying to calculate the BB/100 value (so I have some kind of a reference point) counting with 30 hands/hour but I got confused and messed it up somewhere

You will be leaving when everyone is coming (assuming you plan to leave today or tomorrow). You shouldn't have any problem, unless you are lazy and don't leave until Monday.

To anybody that says this is a ****ty non-city, we haz the Super Bowl, so eat it!
You're rich. Why AREN'T you at the Super Bowl? Wouldn't you love to see Tom Brady win a ring on Peyton's field while he's using Peyton's locker?

My advice is to not overadjust, just play your online game for the most part. I think I tried to make too many adjustments at first, making big laydowns, etc. I think that hurt me. One thing I stopped doing is 3 betting as wide, players just have a stronger opening range than what I was used to.

No money in Southern California live FLHE, everyone's solid. You guys can all stay away, or move to Canada to play online.

even though that seems like a 8BB/100ish heater for like 6,5k hands which is standard, even online, it should still be more $ long term at these stakes than what you can do at 3/6 so why did you stop playing live back then?
Thanks man. This is in no way close to sustainable. I did play semipro for a lot of years live. I have to say that playing online helped my game so much that it's unreal. When I came back to the casino the players I use to think were awesome are all leaky as **** and terrible. I stopped playing back then because of a drug problem, but I don't think I am ever going to stop playing live now.

If so, I imagine even losing weeks would be super rare.
yeah not sustainable. been running hot these last couple months to say the least.

losing weeks are rare for sure, but they do happen. i have not had a losing month, but i came close once. the biggest downer i have had was around 150BB.

since BF I have made about 1BB/hr over 1200 hours. Which is about 42K hands. I think I have run below expectation, especially at the beginning and think I can do better in the long run. but 1BB/hr is widely considered the tops you can make and considered crushing. some of the people that claim they crush are godawful, making me believe i can do better. I think 1BB/hr is about 3BB/100, my guess is I can probably do 4BB/100. The game is unreal.

This is like 7700 hands, I think it's about 35 hands an hour.

It is almost impossible to have a losing week playing live poker. Some people don't even have losing days.

is it common for seasoned online players to lose two consecutive hands in live poker or is it considered a very rare and sick cooler?

hey LaPeste, what program are you using to track your live play? I'm currently using cardplayer.com's 'Stat Tracker' (which is pretty lol) and Excel (which i'm sure i'm not using to full potential)

Spoiler:
The games are still very slow, the massive swings were on account of me playing 500/1k a handful of times.

I use Excel, pretty standard and easy enough to log my data in after each session (if I play multiple stakes in a session, just grab a scrap piece of paper to jot time and win/loss of previous stake(s)). I wouldn't be a fool like PJ and keep all my stuff on a poker magazine's webpage. Seems a bit risky IMO.

i feel dripping sarcasm

What i meant was that for someone who wins at 2.5BB/hr (assuming 30-40 hands per hour ofc) and plays normal fulltime hours Im pretty sure he would have to run super cold to have losing weeks. Without having plugged it into a variance simulator. Just a guesstimate..



edit: ok, the curiosity got to me and turns out it would happen about every one in ten weeks or so. Maybe a little less.

And for someone with a 1BB/hr winrate it would happen every 1 in 3 weeks approximately.

Live poker is awesome when you run good and like the 7th circle of hell when you don't.

I use notepad in my phone.

My stats look like this:

14 6.1

Those two numbers will change at the end of every session.

Keeping records is something I retired.

man, your record is really broken

To clarify my view: There are plenty of solid/good players that play mid-high live. However, there are also many fish who play a lot of hours. Do you deny this?

henholland: suffice it to say 2.5 BB/hr is not a realistic assumption. Especially in 20/40 where the rake is still a decent factor in southern california
