I keep seeing these post saying that post UIGEA people would be very surprised if somebody (except for Leatherass) could post a graph beating the midstakes nl 6-max for more than 3 ptbb over 200 k hand samples... well here it is:



This is the last 4,5 months. I play 6 - 8 tables at once, don´t use a hud and believe it is time to make my move into the 5 / 10 to make some serious dough.

Goal: To become some sort of Leatherass junior, that is to say put in approximately 100 k hands per month at the midstakes and keep at it. You heard it here first Leather: I am out for your throne of the ultimate grinder !

Edit: I also believe this winrate is something that almost anyone can achieve with relatively little work... most people just don´t know where to look or lack the basic discipline

sick what site though? i see them euro signs.

Pstars, FT, Prima and Ipoker.

very impressive

nh

you aren't ready for 5/10. you are down 1.5 buy ins over a huge sample size there

thats a lot of rake.

nice

thats ok, got sweet rakeback deal

from the euro sites?

Yes, from the euros. But the euros are tougher overall, so i balance with a little Americana

sick!

but why dont you use a hud?!

level?

wtf

Nope, not a level. Euro sites are slightly tougher I believe. But slightly. Also, better game selection on PS and FT.

Cause mostly fish who want ABC shortcuts and not have to think while playing use huds. No wonder most regs can´t beat the midstakes for more than 3 ptbb / 100 .

I am not saying it is terrible, am experimenting a little with it, but I have noticed that I too often revert to ABC play whilst using one like most TAG fish.

where should I look?

Your mental, emotional state while playing is 80 % of the work, and you can work and take specific steps to get better at that. Being in the right emotional state will allow you to open up your eyes to what you and the other players are doing without being stuck in the previous hand you lost, how much you are up, what you´re gonna eat later, etc. Combine that with some basic technical steps that can be taken and you got the other 20% to at least achieve enough to live comfortably off poker. I believe, that with todays games and climate, anybody with even mediocre intelligence and some discipline could at the very least make a comfortable living playing this game.

Um OP coach me? At least post another gem of information like the one above? It's always so good when people say that you don't need huge natural talent to succeed at pokers

wow that is sick, wp sir. teach me

come on graph this ****

Pretty much low variance, smooth sailing. I play a very even-keeled game.
