I play solid ABC poker on the limit 0,25/0,50$ most of time 8 tabling.
I am somewhere around +2,6BB after 50k hands.

Do you think i would have better success if i play 4-tabling ?
It means i need 5,2BB, have you anyone experience if it is possible to reach it ?

My point is: what's the easiest way to get money ?
is it in reading my opponents and adjust them (this is only possible imho at max 4-tabling) or winning at 8-tabling by playing ABC poker (less but faster)?

It is possible to reach 5+BB/100, but what u have to think about is what is best for u averaging time spent and money made.
You can definitely go 6 or 7BB/100 at the micros by just playing 1 or 2 tables, but is it worth your while to spend all the hours for just a few bucks?

On the other hand, i believe you may be giving up on too much by playing that many tables.
It would probably be better for u to play 4 tables concentrating a bit more and trying to improve your game. You will soon move up in stakes at this rate, and as you move up, you'll need to play a little bit more on reads from time to time, so it wont be a bad idea to start now.
The higher you get the more you'll need to fine tune your game, and if you play 8tables, i dont think you really can.

I feel the same.
2 weeks ago I have started to play 0,50/1$ (6max) after 17k i am only +1BB/100...again 7-8 tabling

Now i am telling myself "something is wrong", i have much more less profit and 2x higher rake than at lower stake.
Maybe this is the right time to start to play 4-tabling.

lance,

you know how fickle limit is after only 17k hands. i dont think that tells you much. and, because you doubled the money at your "new" level doesnt mean you should beat the game for half of what you did, either. its just too early to tell. you should still be adjusting to the nuances of the new level...not that there are going to be many (other than noting regs if you do that).

now, the real question becomes: what adjustments have you made from 25/50 to 50/1 and why did you make them? what did you see? what is the best way to exploit what you are seeing? are you stealing more blinds? less? are you cbetting/3betting flops? how are your standard lines evolving?

or, as i suspect (and no offense), with 8 tables going, do you even know? or did you just take your "no brainer" game up to the next level for a test drive only to find you should have been honing skills at the lower level?

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

Unfortunately i have made only a couple adjustments because there is not so much differences.
Most of it is better table selection - thats more important because on this higher stake are more sharks and i want to avoid them. (ratio fishes/sharks is 50/50 on the average table of 0,5/1$ limit).

My standards (mentioned by you) are the same as lower limit. All i have learned from articles and books (HPFAP, WLLH, LH-WSHS by B.T.) i exploit. I think its not posssible to play "no-brainer" game and have a profit.
