Hi Paul , i feel better now but it's very tired , but when i only open no more 11-tabling it's ok and i think i can play not bad poker , but if open more tables i burn my brain and kill session like yesterday , so many times i kill session

For me, around 1.0/hand at FR and 1.1 at 6m. Welcome to 5/T, hope you run well against people who 3 bet you with 56s.
I just wanted to be sure the numbers I found in search are accurate so I can plan the rest of my poker year right. I was trying to 12 table 3/6 to get the vpps but i don't play well 12 tabling so I think i'll be better off 6 tabling 5/10 instead.

9.6k left til supernova can't wait to be done grinding for this lol.

god b*rnicke9 is such a drooler......I could play him forever.

well I had probably my worst day in 2/4 in months, but 3/6 made up for it and I basically broke even. oh well 2k vpps at least.

I forget who donkeyontilt is around here, but he was totally bumhunting me and I don't appreciate that.

PS - you were my all time biggest donator like 2 years ago, so we're square

I'm using 3.5FPP/VPP for a current SN.

I'm guessing you're going to get about 1.25VPP/hand at 5/T 6m. I have trouble doing more than 4 tabling, but YMMV. Given 80 hands/hour, let's say 400 VPP/hour. So, 250 hours for each 100k VPP. That works out to 80k hands, VPP bonus level. Given 1BB/100, you'd make $8000 per 100k VPP. So, as a 300k VPP who wins 1BB/100 at 5/T, you'd make another $24k in poker winnings. Total earn for the year would be $47,400.

Of course, you'd also have built a nice 30/60 bankroll and ZOMG and DrElo would make fun of you for only playing 5/T. Again, YMMV. Based on all of this, you'd make 1BB/100 in poker and about the same in bonus. RoR-wise, you'd be a 2BB/100 winner, and your BR requirements would actually be pretty reasonable. Even with a 20SD, your BR for a 1% RoR is only 460BB. For a 5% RoR, you'd only need a 300 BB BR.

Short answer: You can hit 200k VPP playing 2 hours a day 5 days a week. That's 1/4 time. As a 1BB/100 winner, you'd expect to make about $31k playing poker with winnings + RB.
this is in past term correct? are u implying my winnings are good for 30/60? how about my skills (is this some kind of a trick to make me burn all my winnings in the higher stakes? metagaming?)

but realy thanks for your answer , aprreciate this!
12-28-2009 , 11:37 AM
Merry, you're playing higher than I do --> no metagaming from me. I've got you as a pretty big winner long term, ldo.

If you take your 10/20BR and make 31k playing poker + RB, you'd certainly have the money for the 30. The issue is how much you withdraw, and your own skill + risk tolerance would fit in there.
