I took a $1000 bet that I could make minimum 10pt/bb100 in 50NL over 10K hands. Extra $250 bonus if I can stay over 13ptbb/100, $250 bonus for him if I am under 7pt. I have until Dec 20th but this will be done much sooner.

How realistic of a goal do you think this is?

Who thinks they could do this?
Who thinks *I* can do it?

Other Goals:

- Start using ACEhud to my advantage a lot more. I really haven't made effective use of it yet. Anyone have a good Pokerstars layout?
- Study my PokerTracker stats much better to improve my game. Is there any way for PT to isolate just one Limit and see all the stats based on that? Can any software do that, say Hold 'em manager? Pt is starting to seem kinda weak to me.

I currently play 200nl at 1-2ptbb, and this friend and I were discussing the differences between the limits. He plays 25 and 50nl. He has taken shots at 100 but has had to drop down. I haven't been playing 50nl in awhile but I think I can make 10pt, the 13 will be a lot harder and probably won't happen. He thinks there isn't a huge diff between 50, 100, and 200nl... especially not enough for me to crush the 50s considering my mediocre 200nl winrate. I'm also mixing in 200nl sessions so that my 200nl isn't messed up too much when i move back fully.

I've been going about a week and after 3K, I am at 11.5, including 2 recent 2 outers on the river for $140 total lost

One big balance is that I could play fewer tables and increase the winrate and do it in more time. I started out playing 4 tables just to get a feel again for 50NL and to keep the winrate high, but now I'im up to 6 tables. I'm not sure if going for the 13pt/bb100 is worth the time...I'd def need to do 4 tables only. I was doign 15 for a lil at 4, and i think its def less @ 8. If I go under 10, im gonna cut tables down.

I'm playing 22/11, playing a few more limped pots with trashy cards cuz I think I can outplay ppl post flop, where you look at my 200nl, and I am 17/10. The bottom limit is 50nl HU which I play ocassionally but suck at. sStat suggestions welcome, especially comparing my 50 and 200nl results






Favorite hand so far... especially his call of the re-raise. This guy is 94/50!!

isf, can you describe your reasons why more?

i.e. bad because sample size not big enough?
bad because winrate is way too high for most anyone except top players?
badbecause I should get 2-1 or 3-1?

I.e. I'm pretty interested to hear what ppl here think, especially the 200nl+ players

do you think you guys could do it?

imo the 50nl play is MUCH worse than the 100nl even. On weekends, its very, very bad.

it will most likely be close due to the variance factor, the good thing though is even if you fail you should make at least close to the 1k. GL.

Well, I don't think I'm that great and I'm running at 9bb/100 over the last 9,500 hands at Pokerstars playing a mixture of 50nl and 100nl.

If i 4-tabled, datamined all day and only picked the fishiest of fishy tables, and got 11 hours of sleep every night, I think i'd have about a 50/50 chance of winning this bet. And that's optimistic.

you're going to have a 2-3k hand stretch where you breakeven or lose some buyins

b/c of that, pretty tough. I did 8ptbb/100 over 8k hands at 50nl about 4 months ago at AP. Felt I had a pretty huge edge too.

i suppose if you really wanted to win this bet you could play like 100k hands and pick a 10k section where you ran > 10ptbb/100.

I took the bet yes, I would be interested in longer, more descriptive responses as to why you think I will fail and what odds you would ask for to take such a bet

he is giving me some odds, $750 I have to pay if I'm between 7-10. So there is some incentive...he gets the full 1k if im under 7. I didnt explain that properly. Got too into posting my stats and hands and didnt read the original post well enough

I'm almost at 5K and he is considering negotiating some new terms because I'm still at 11pt halfway in

what kind of protection do you think I should negotiate? Its looking like 8pt will be a cinch. What terms would you try to now negotiate?

It would be a better bet if you got 100k hands to have a 10k stretch with the proposed win rate in.

doubting, negativity, and jokes. This is like 2+2 or something If anyone has some strategy ideas let me know.

I'm gonna negotiate a break-even area, he's very scared of losing at this point considering im running well.

if anything I might negotiate $300 for me and the bet is over.

yes its a horrible bet, how the hell can u seriously expect to run at 10ptbb w/out running hot?

Obviously some guys can do it, but you're not CTS or something..

Even if u say 5ptbb and the bet is marginal for you. Just my thoughts.

But now you're halfway and at 11ptbb, so congrats anyways maybe you'll get there:P

If it looks like its a cinch to get 10ptBB I say negotiate so he pays you off and the bets over. The actual number is up to you....750 is good...just get as much as you possibly can with out being a dick, because the guy is your friend from a long time ago..

Mixchange, honestly, I don't see why you're finding this hard to understand. It is real, blinkered arrogance on your part to think you can win this bet simply because you are a skilful player. IF you are indeed skilful enough to beat 50NL at 10ptbb/100 over the long term, then the bet is neutral EV. But you're not, I'll wager, because I honestly don't know anyone who is. 50NL may seem easy for 5,000 hands but I'll bet you're running slightly hot. I was running at 20ptbb/100 for my first 4k hands at 50nl/pl this month - since then I've had an 11 buyin downswing. I'm not suddenly a shitty player (haha I've always been a shitty player, but seriously folks), it's just what happens.

50N L is a goo0d deal easier than 200NL but it's not a 10ptbb/100 game. If you make it, you'll make it through luck; if you don't, you'll no doubt whine about taking bad beats because of course you're skilful enough to win it. I don't buy that.

This is 100% false. If you DO do it it'll be down to variance. Unless you're a poker god, you're not good enough to win this bet on skill alone, and even if you were, the variance factor makes it almost pointless. Please don't take this as an insult because all I'm criticising is your estimation of your own talent vs the softness of 50NL.

that game is much more beatable than that on a a heater , your winrate is long term sustainable in that game IMO.

which is exactly why I don't understand why people want to play with 20BB's/ 50BB's

it's relatively easier to play a short stack than a deep stack. on average, your decisions are much easier to make, and there are less options (because often you have less streets to worry about). and because of this, you can tack on 2 or 3 more tables than you normally would, and while your ptbb/100 might drop, your $/hr should go up.

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
If you get just a few nasty coolers or an offday, the 10ptBB/100 winrate can be over real quick..

b/c of that, pretty tough. I did 8ptbb/100 over 8k hands at 50nl about 4 months ago at AP. Felt I had a pretty huge edge too.
that game is much more beatable than that on a a heater , your winrate is long term sustainable in that game IMO.
Not if you factor in the BBJ rake that came about destroying winrates a 2ptbb/100. I mean, you don't have to think about that stuff, cuz you'll win the damn thing, but I have to take it into account.

with so many bonus reloads and rakeback i find the BBJ rake to be a non issue.

irrelevant. Those games are very soft considering USD players have access to them.
Almost on a par with the typical euro game, which is full of calling station suckout merchants

IRRELEVANT?

Are you seriously incapable of thinking? 2ptbb is 2ptbb, like if I would have run 11ptbb/100 which is fucking tough enough my actual winrate is 9ptbb/100 due to the extra rake. Seriously, I wonder sometimes what is going on in your mind.

without being an ass, you have a lot to say for someone who hasnt even graduated from donkstakes yet.

Also, to sound like an ass, if you original post was written in english i might be able to comprehend what you are trying to say.

I'd rather be beating my "donkstakes" at 100nl than donating back my BBJ winnings to the mid-stakes communities on your self-proclaimed "softer sites". It must be tough to run bad all the time. Hell, look at is this way, there's always bonus-whoring and rakeback to cover up a negative winrate.
