450hrs+ of live games isn’t a lot but I feel like the games I’m playing are easy to beat.

Playing 5-5 NL, $8/16 kill, $20/40 limit and $25/50 limit and $40/80 limit.

I hand pick the table with at least two donkeys and play until I win or lose 4 buy ins in the game no exceptions. There are times I’ve played over 29+ hrs to get a win from being stuck but I notice if I log in the hours good things usually come before I lose all four buy ins. The only time I buy in more that 4 is if the lineup stays the same and the game is too good.

winning 93% of sessions played seems impossible especially with a 4bi stop win/loss, but if tru thats crazy

it seems like over 400 hrs any player will experience 4 buy in downswings more than 4 times. i guess if op was up 200bb then lost 400bbs he wouldnt technically reach his stop loss (and book a losing session) and could come all the way back to book a win. so a 4 bi downswing could technically happen and not register as a losing session

but 93%? nothing in poker is 93% lol

just seems like to much variance to be possible

actually im just jealous lol wp op keep crushing

i was assuming 100bbs, but op never said

and i guess hes also playing limit so the buy ins prob different than nl
but on the other hand im pretty sure the variance is higher in limit as well which makes it even less likely to win basically every session.
and the winrates at limit are generally lower than nl.

the more i think about it, the more i think that this is impossible

so im calling bs op! no chance this is real......

1 rack of whatever game I’m playing in limit up to 4.

1 max buy in no limit up to 4 per session .

Max buy in is 4 unless the game is really good and a lot of chip burning is taking place.

Lol it’s definitely possible. It’s true there is more variance in limit.

I appreciate the chip porn. What I want to know is where the logic comes in regarding one rack: In all the games except for 50/100 you'll have 12.5 bets. So you're saying 50 bets is the swing for most games except 50/100 where the swing is 100? Unless you're playing 50/100 with $10 chips and not $25 chips how it should be, in that case you've dropped to 10 bets per rack and 40-bet swings.

I don’t play $50/100? I do play $25/50 limit which uses $5 chips. It’s the only game where the chip sizing will be at 5 and 10 chips. The other games will be 1,2, 3,6 or 4,8. I set a rule at 4 buy ins because it gives you enough hands to see if you’re truly running bad and limits your losses to something manageable and not something like 10 racks in a session.

I would say 25 bets to start, uniform across limits, would make more sense and would equilibrate the difference.

How's the hourly holding up? Still sun-running?

I lost Saturday in a 28 hour grind session that had me in for $2500. My table hit the jackpot and of course I missed the blind. My low was $300 and my high was $2200 (my money so -$300) and my game broke when I was down $750 ish? Worst feeling ever.


I’ve been playing a lot of limit lately. But I have 58 wins 5 losses with $76k in winnings with 509 hrs played. Combined with no limit and limit.

Jackpots don't count toward your hourly if you're really counting an hourly. If you're truly up 76k in 509 hours that would mean that if you had ONLY played your highest limit (40/80) you would be just under 2bb/hr.

Think about this for a second. How many total hours have been at 40/80?

I didn’t count my jackpot of $22k that I hit last year. A lot of my wins are from $5-5 no limit and $40/$80 . If I look at my session to session breakdown my limit numbers were pretty astronomical but have been telling off as of late. The games aren’t as good now.

"the games aren't as good" couldn't possibly mean you aren't running as well, could it?

It means there are too many guys that are playing for a living at one table. If you get 5 chops pre in 8 mins you’re in a bad game. If average pot size is smaller than what you are used to it’s probably a bad game unless there are passive donkeys.
